BBC Radio 2 - The Rock Show with Johnnie Walker, Chris Shiflett

Foo Fighter Chris Shiflett reveals his Rock God.

Chris Schiflett, guitarist for Foo Fighters chooses his Rock God.

Chris Shiflett spends most of his time in one of the rock world's biggest bands. When he's not playing guitar for Foo Fighters, he still keeps himself busy. Last month, Chris released his  solo album, 'Hard Lessons' and he's currently touring in the US. He even knows a thing or two about broadcasting - Chris also has his own podcast called 'Walking the Floor'. Chris chooses his Rock God this week. As a man with many musical heroes (by his own admission) who will he pick? Elsewhere on the show, Johnnie will revisit a musical milestone for 'This Week In Rock' and air this week's essential new rock releases. Expect some anthems old and new plus one or two gems you may just have forgotten about...

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
