Brian Forsythe interview with Nashville Rocks

At Nashville Rocks, we’re all about shining a spotlight on artists who’ve shaped the soundtrack of our lives—and few have done that quite like Brian Forsythe, lead guitarist of the legendary rock band KIX who is also, currently, with Rhino Bucket.

In this exclusive interview, now available on our YouTube channel, Brian opens up like never before. From the early days of grinding it out to playing packed arenas during the golden era of hair metal rock, Brian shares stories that are equal parts inspiring and raw. You’ll hear firsthand about the brotherhood behind the band, and the highs and lows that come with decades in the music industry.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering KIX or Rhino Bucket for the first time, this conversation is a must-watch. Brian’s laid-back storytelling, musical insight, and genuine passion for rock ‘n’ roll will keep you hooked from start to finish.

Why Watch?
Because this isn’t just another rock interview—it’s a rare, unfiltered look at one of the genre’s unsung guitar heroes. You’ll laugh, you’ll nod along, and you’ll definitely want to revisit your favorite KIX and Rhino Bucket tracks afterward.
