    Mar 27 2026
    On this episode of SPIN Presents Lipps Service with Scott Lipps, Scott sits down with Jay Buchanan, frontman of Rival Sons, for a deep and personal conversation about his debut solo album Weapons of Beauty. Jay opens up about performing at Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath’s final show, Back to the Beginning, and what it felt like witnessing the end of an era from the stage. He reflects on legacy, evolution, and what it means to carry rock music forward. The conversation dives into the making of Weapons of Beauty, written in isolation in an underground Mojave Desert bunker and produced by Dave Cobb. Jay discusses the album’s stripped-down sound, themes of grief and vulnerability, and why this record couldn’t exist within Rival Sons. Jay also talks about his acting debut in Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, the influence of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, the future of Rival Sons, and his favorite singer-songwriters of all time. This is Jay Buchanan like you’ve never heard him before — raw, reflective, and completely unfiltered. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00:44 Back to the Beginning 00:02:53 Ozzy, Sabbath & Final Show Reflections 00:10:10 Performing That Night 00:11:35 The New Record 00:17:13 Writing in a Mojave Desert Bunker 00:19:55 Lyrical Themes 00:21:30 Recording Process 00:26:48 Personal Side of the Album 00:29:43 Rival Sons Today 00:33:05 Weapons of Beauty Deep Dive 00:37:11 Springsteen Film Role 00:47:40 Nebraska Parallels 00:51:05 New Rival Sons Music 00:55:20 Top 5 Singer-Songwriters 1:03:51 What’s a Perfect Record?
