One of wrestling's most iconic modern themes in WWE. In 2016, I recorded a cover of The Rising Sun on guitar (before I ever got into writing entrance themes) and it connected me with wrestling fans and other composers and musicians in the industry like It Lives, It Breathes and many more. The Rising Sun means a lot to me for what it meant to me as a fan of Shinsuke, as a musician working on covers, and as hearing longtime WWE composers CFO$ crush another entrance theme. Today's guest is none other than the violinist who recorded The Rising Sun, Earl Maneein of Seven Suns, frequent of We also play our favorite game on the show, Music City Rumble, where Earl Maneein names the musicians he'd book in a wrestling match: one men's match, one women's match, and one tag team match!
