Country icon Carrie Underwood shares her love of hard rock

Carrie's Octane Invasion on SiriusXM

Country and hard rock collide during Carrie’s Octane Invasion, an exclusive crossover event featuring special guest Carrie Underwood and hosted by Jose “Metal Ambassador” Mangin!

The special includes Carrie and Jose’s backstage conversation from the country superstar’s concert with Guns N’ Roses in Nashville, where they shared their love of rock and went through all of Carrie’s favourites — including Disturbed, I Prevail, Korn, and more.

“It’s interesting when you are performing with somebody of another genre,” Carrie told Jose about covering Motorhead’s “Ace of Spades.” “I didn’t want the Guns [N’ Roses] fans to be sitting there looking like, ‘What’s with all the fiddles and the steel guitar?’ … I kind of wanted to bridge the gap a little bit.”

Listen to the full interview and takeover during Carrie’s Octane Invasion on Tuesday, September 5th at 8 pm ET on CARRIE’S COUNTRY (Ch. 60) and Octane (Ch. 37).

The entire special will also be available on the SiriusXM App after it premieres.

Carrie’s Octane Invasion comes about three months after Carrie launched her SiriusXM channel, CARRIE’S COUNTRY. The channel is a musical journey, hand-crafted by country’s iconic rhinestoned superstar.
