R2R Podcast: Episode #2 - Stephen Christian (frontman of Anberlin)
Welcome to the second official interview of the Reels2Riffs podcast!
I am joined today by Stephen Christian, powerhouse frontman of the legendary modern rock band Anberlin. Just 2 days ago on Friday, May 17th, Stephen went live on his Instagram and opened it up to have any fan request to be in his live and join in on the fun. Naturally, after I was lucky to have my chance to speak to Stephen for a few minutes, I took it upon myself to edit and piece together all of my time in his live as a fun "interview" for my channel.
We discuss all things from what we were up to on our ends that night, my Anberlin concert on July 30th 2023 at the TH-cam Theater, meeting the band at the show, Stephen's reflection on his temporary current hiatus from touring with the band, the future of Anberlin, and so much more! This was quite a lucky experience and I'm honored to have chatted with Stephen. I've been a long time fan of Anberlin (going all the way back to the 5th grade when I was a kid), they've been my favorite modern band, and Stephen has always been one of the most genuine and nicest people you'll ever met.
So grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy a fun chat with one of the most respectful, genuine, and hardest working frontmen in music.
TABLE OF CONTENTS:
00:00 - Intro.
00:00:18 - Connecting with Stephen / movie plans for the night
00:00:51 - My Anberlin show 7/30/23 & history with Anberlin
00:01:30 - My appreciation for the Silverline & Convinced EPs
00:01:51 - The recording process behind Silverline & Convinced
00:02:37 - The making of the Anberlin song "Nothing More"
00:03:50 - Meeting the band at the 7/30/23 TH-cam Theater show
00:04:54 - Wishing Stephen good luck / his future endeavours
00:07:19 - Stephen's reflection on his future with Anberlin
00:09:37 - Thanking Stephen / ending the live chat
Special thanks to Stephen Christian for his immense kindness & dedication to his fans, generosity of his time, and for personally inviting me as one of the lucky fans to be on his Instagram live! Definitely one of the coolest experiences I've ever had!

    I remember when Eddie built that around late 77. He bought the neck at a small shop in Arcadia along with the decal. I still know where the receipt for the neck is. He asked a lot of questions, I think I know where he got the idea for the paint job, it came from a TV series. It was fun working with him in the 70s, he was so nice

      Very interesting. Just curious, which TV series? BTW, I used to live in Arcadia, and when I met my wife she lived a few blocks over from the house the Van Halens used to live in on a parallel street (in Pasadena). They lived on Las Lunas (I know the house) and her family lived on Queensberry.

      @@pnutbutrncrackers The show was "Boris Karloff's Thriller" I have lot's of great memories of Eddie. I worked at a small custom guitar shop in Arcadia on First ave and Colorado blvd next to the liquor store. I taught him a few things about building. He only brought in his brother once but it was so funny, Alex might remember. The house he lived in was a small 2 bedroom and the room he was in had a 100 watt Marshall half stack. I was small time back then doing some over flow work for Wayne Charvel, repairs for the public and built custom guitars, as my talent grew my reputation grew. I was lucky to see him play almost every week and he just got better and better. I never saw him again after 78. I still miss him and his talent. Do you remember the Chevelle's club and Pasadena Civic?

      @@sportswolf1 First of all, I am truly grateful you responded to my comment, Sportswolf! You should be interviewed by anyone making a documentary or book about EVH wanting firsthand bits about Eddie's early years. I would really like to hear anything else that comes to mind that you remember. For example: What guitar(s) do you remember him playing? Did you actually see the famous 'Frankenstrat' newly assembled? Was the band big yet? Do you remember Ed already (unfortunately) being a smoker? Etc. I play guitar myself and of course couldn't help but be blown away the first time I heard Eddie's work (on the radio). Eruption was so incendiary I thought it might set the speakers on fire! LOL Of course I know about the Pasadena Civic Center, but sorry not the other place you mention. I did go to Pasadena City College for a while, where I believe the VH brothers also went (earlier). I did not grow up in Southern Cal.

    If we keep remembering him and share with each other what he did for us individually , then we can keep him semi alive and keep him with us as long as we talk about what he did for us , the first time we heard him , concerts or if you were lucky enough to have met him , it seems that we put our differences aside and meet on one level . The peaceful , music , especially new music comes first, and create that atmosphere that we can re-live hour own memory’s with him , and keep him in our hearts and minds , then he is always with us . I have to think that way because I can’t handle the reality that he really is no longer with us . After getting shocked to the core on October 6, 2020 , it was well into 2021 before I could listen to Van Halen music. What was one of the most natural things that ever existed in my life , listening to and digging VH music , I now physically could not do The moment that I realized what was going on it really hit me hard and all the arguments against anyone else ever being a better guitar player than Eddie and all of those moments (which was every second Eddie invaded my ears) , I knew that my instinct of knowing he was the best, all those moments in life when the odds were against me , that sticking to my EVH is the best mindset paid off and that was one thing that I could hold true to myself , made me proud knowing that I have been right all along and that’s a great feeling. When that hit me , which was about 6, 7 months after he past, I began to loosen up and before long , the music worked its way back into my life and back where it belonged , to its rightful place atop the Mt Everest in my heart. But that’s just one story that I have to go along with all that are in the world. It’s that loyalty syndrome’s little voice in your head that says when your listening to the music , I may or maybe I may not be correct when I think he’s the best ever, because there could be someone out there who might be as good or better, and that’s ok , and that’s anyone’s right to think and say that . To that , I answer back with s peaceful response of , you know , if you like the other one better , then by all means enjoy yourself with your choice , I don’t care if my favorite is not your s , but as for me , I’m thankful and lucky that I have my favorite , and for the rest of my life , I can enjoy my favorite artist,, Maybe your guys better , but you’ll never convince me of that because I found and have the very best , and I’m just fine with my choice ,……and yours , …. God Bless!

    The guitar just looks like a Fender Stratocaster with the pickguard removed and a paint job.
