Rock Under Fire: Recent Episodes
rockunderfire.com
Rock Under Fire is a rock and roll podcast dissecting and discussing seven decades of rock in all its beautiful, wondrous, and despicable glory. Once upon a time, rock and roll music was the center of pop culture. Is rock really dead as some suggest? Or is it in a period of stagnancy existing on the fringe? What is its place in the 21st Century? These questions are the constant underlying theme to a different rock-related subject for each bi-weekly episode. Join hosts Mike Derrico, Patrick Ivanitski, and Stick Nixon for this unique ongoing dialogue through rock's past, present, and future.
Welcome to the Beehive! It's the 100th and final episode ever of the Rock Under Fire podcast. It's all about hot takes as Mike Derrico is joined by Marisa Baldassaro, Heather Drain and Michael Lee Nirenberg in over two hours of too many topics to list. But we'll try...let's see...there's random takes on Chuck Berry, the early days of the Internet, Joy Division, Brian Eno, the Gun Club, Def Leppard, Michael Monroe, Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy, the Traveling Wilburys, Tom Petty, Billy Joel, Phil Collins, Marisa's Vince Neil imitation, about a dozen different takes on Kiss, including the question..."is Kiss misogynistic," and a whole lot more. It must have been in the stars, but we saved the most insane episode by far...for last. Thanks to all our supporters over the years. We had a small audience but we had a blast. Thanks for listening. Peace. luv, rock and roll...

Her prose has appeared in both the Women in Horror Annual, as well as the 2020 anthology, The Blind Dead Ride Out of Hell: A Literary Tribute to the Amando de Ossorio.

We pick four songs at random from every decade since the 1960s for discussion. This recording originally comes from our 2018 holiday special which amounted to a three-hour radio show. For copyright reasons, music has been omitted but the discussion left intact. After Youtube muted our 2016 version, Pat later joked that we should just leave the audio and let the audience imagine that we're playing music. Well, here it is...for fun we've done just that for this special double episode. Mike Derrico and Patrick Ivanitski are your hosts. Again, this is from 2018...don't be thrown by misplaced cultural references! Little Richard, Eddie Van Halen and Neil Peart were still with us when this was recorded, and Do the Right Thing was only 29 years old!

Happy 40th to Kiss's most overrated album! We discuss Creatures of the Night, an album that revisionist history has placed among the greatest albums of the Kiss catalog. We touch on the great things about the album...but we also go where no Kiss fan will dare go...the many reasons why Creatures is the most overrated album in all of Kisstory. An unpopular take that will surely ruffle some feathers.

From November 2020 and re-cut from a deleted Rock Under Fire episode. In the one and only time he addresses it in detail, Mike talks to Patrick Ivanitski about his book AUTUMN AND EVERYTHING AFTER: The Murder of John Lennon, Evolution of Bruce Springsteen & the Birth of the Reagan Era. The politics in the book that ruffled some feathers is discussed along with a focus on Lennon and Springsteen...two generations of artists both vilified by the conservative right...and the long-term consequences of the 1980 election and the seeds that inevitably grew into the current Trumpian war on democracy. AUTUMN is a story about rock and roll, murder, politics, war, and the cultural divide in America.
Mike Derrico has hosted the Rock Under Fire podcast with Patrick Ivanitski since 2016, has written two books (THE LOCKER NOTES, AUTUMN & EVERYTHING AFTER: The Murder of John Lennon, Evolution of Bruce Springsteen & the Birth of the Reagan Era) and has contributed to publications such as Please Kill Me and NJArts.net.

As a rock and roll podcast, Rock Under Fire makes it a point not to focus on any one particular artist, band, or genre of music, but with that comes the reality that the show may not always appeal to everyone at the same time. The seven decades of rock and roll music along with its even longer history leaves an extremely broad canvas to create discussions on, drawing from different areas with each episode. So there is still always something for everyone.
In past episodes we've discussed The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Prince, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Kiss, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, The Who, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, the Monterey Pop Festival, Woodstock, Doo Wop, The Beach Boys, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Steely Dan, The Strokes, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, The Doors, Patti Smith, The Ramones, Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, Guns n Roses, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Velvet Underground, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Cars, Cheap Trick, Heart, Dave Grohl, Jack White, digital streaming, the state of the music industry and record labels, the effect of rap and hip hop on rock, Neil Young, Talking Heads, Counting Crows, Boston, The Temptations, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, the Smithereens, Suzanne Vega, Van Halen, Rick Rubin, The Gun Club, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, The Mekons, UFO, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Chuck Klosterman, John Philip Sousa, Billy Joel, The Wipers, Iron Maiden, Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Waits, Thin Lizzy, the Bee Gees, Mozart, Beethoven, Puccini, Bob Marley, 5 Seconds of Summer, Twenty One Pilots, Ed Sheeran, J Geils Band, Billy Miller, Chris Cornell, Turn Me On Dead Man, the Desert Trip concerts, aging rock stars, our favorite debut albums, soundtracks, music licensing, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, disco vs. rock, Ticketmaster, Tom Petty, and most overrated and underrated artists. We've also been joined by special guests such as, author and photographers Bob Gruen, STARZ guitarist Richie Ranno, Joe Long of the Four Seasons, Lydia Criss, author and pop culture critic Alice Echols, writer and director Michael Lee Nirenberg, original MTV VJ Nina Blackwood, author Robert Duncan, P.J.

Episode 64 is a blank canvas episode filled in with discussions about Eddie Van Halen, H.E.R., music streaming, Sean Connery, James Bond movies, Bruce Springsteen and the political right’s growing vitriol against artists voicing their opinions and using their platforms for social justice causes. Politics folks...yes we go there.

In the early days of independent record stores, if you grew up in New Jersey's Middlesex, Union or Essex counties during the 1970s, 80s or 90s, chances are you shopped at Little Joe Records, Dot Records or J&J Records where you could find all of those good things you couldn't get at your local boring and predictable Sam Goody. Childhood friend Joe Gerulski joins the show for Episode 61 to share some great music-related stories and talk about growing up in the family-run business selling records in an age when records were still the biggest-selling musical format and rock music was still at peak popularity. We also get into the inevitable discussion that never really goes away for too long on our show...80s metal. A fun blast through the past that moves along much too quickly. Mike Derrico and Pat Ivanitski are your hosts.

n Episode 60, the always-interesting Aaron Novak finally joins the conversation. Aaron is one of the hosts of MEMPHIS, EGYPT w/AARON & TODD, a long-running weekly indie/new music radio show on WDCE 90.1 FM in Richmond, Virginia. A gathering that has been long-planned and talked about for years gets slightly marred by some annoying sound problems throughout, but that does not take away from the one of the best discussions that Rock Under Fire has ever seen.

In Episode 57, Mike Derrico talks to Robert Duncan, former managing editor of Creem Magazine and lifelong rock and roll obsessive. Duncan, a musician himself, has been in and around the rock and roll world through some pivotal years, perhaps through rock’s most hedonistic period of all, the 1970s. Aside from Creem, he has contributed to notable publications such as Rolling Stone, Circus, Life and is the author of books such as The Noise: Notes from a Rock and Roll Era, Only the Good Die Young: The Rock and Roll Book of the Dead, the very first book ever written on Kiss, and has now, after decades written his first novel, Loudmouth.

So there is still always something for everyone.
In past episodes we've discussed The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Prince, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Kiss, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, The Who, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, the Monterey Pop Festival, Woodstock, Doo Wop, The Beach Boys, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Steely Dan, The Strokes, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, The Doors, Patti Smith, The Ramones, Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, Guns n Roses, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Velvet Underground, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Cars, Cheap Trick, Heart, Dave Grohl, Jack White, digital streaming, the state of the music industry and record labels, the effect of rap and hip hop on rock, Neil Young, Talking Heads, Counting Crows, Boston, The Temptations, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, the Smithereens, Suzanne Vega, Van Halen, Rick Rubin, The Gun Club, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, The Mekons, UFO, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Chuck Klosterman, John Philip Sousa, Billy Joel, The Wipers, Iron Maiden, Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Waits, Thin Lizzy, the Bee Gees, Mozart, Beethoven, Puccini, Bob Marley, 5 Seconds of Summer, Twenty One Pilots, Ed Sheeran, J Geils Band, Billy Miller, Chris Cornell, Turn Me On Dead Man, the Desert Trip concerts, aging rock stars, our favorite debut albums, soundtracks, music licensing, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, disco vs. rock, Ticketmaster, Tom Petty, and most overrated and underrated artists. We've also been joined by special guests such as, author and photographers Bob Gruen, STARZ guitarist Richie Ranno, Joe Long of the Four Seasons, Lydia Criss, author and pop culture critic Alice Echols, writer and director Michael Lee Nirenberg, original MTV VJ Nina Blackwood, and Judas Priest legend KK Downing.

In Episode 52, we talk about the current wave of farewell tours, the future of the concert industry, and sidetrack ourselves with White Lion, Def Leppard, Creed, Stryper, Kidd Gloves Seton Hall's WSOU, hypotheticals on The Beatles, and the longtime feud between Roger Waters and David Gilmour. We're all over the place on this particularly loose and funny conversation. Mike Derrico, Pat Ivanitski, and Marisa Baldasarro are your hosts.

In Episode 51, we return for our first show of 2019 and the beginning of Season 4. At the outset, we introduce Marisa, a longtime friend and new voice to the Rock Under Fire podcast.

We also read some listener comments and topic requests.

In ROCK UNDER FIRE Episode 49, we present Mike Derrico's full conversation with original MTV VJ NINA BLACKWOOD. Portions of the interview were featured in "The Rise & Fall of MTV," an episode of RUF's sister podcast, RETROSPEAK, where Mike and Pat Ivanitski discuss the early years of MTV, the channel's influence on pop culture and the music industry, as well as its fall from relevance. NINA BLACKWOOD is one of the five original VJs on MTV from the channel's launch in 1981 through 1986. She went on to host Solid Gold, the Rock Report segment of Entertainment Tonight, and nationally syndicated radio shows, Nina BlackWood's Absolutely 80s and Nina Blackwood's New Wave Nation. Blackwood can be heard today on the 80s on 8, available on SiriusXM.

Joe Long, born Joseph LaBracio in Elizabeth, New Jersey, spent ten years as a member of The Four Seasons, playing a vital role in the group's most prolific decade from 1965-1975. Long played bass, sang, contributed to onstage musical arrangements, served as co-producer, onstage emcee, and was a longtime fan favorite. In 2014, he was honored with a street-naming in his hometown of Elizabeth, and is now joining the canon of New Jersey history and immortality with an induction to the New Jersey Hall of Fame. We are honored to have him on our podcast.
In Episode 45, Mike Derrico talks to the Four Seasons legend about his early musical roots, his ten year run with the group, and his recent induction into the New Jersey Hall of Fame. Co-hosts Pat Ivanitski and Stick Nixon have the week off. (Interview begins at 12:00 mark)

In Episode 44, we discuss the most talked-about new band in two decades...possibly since The Strokes. Is Greta Van Fleet really the next Led Zeppelin as critics suggest? Are they the swift kick in the ass the music industry needs to bring back rock and put it front and center again? Or will this all just amount to short-lived hype?

"Bad News" performed by Live Animals
We are joined by longtime friend Michael Czirjak in an episode that looks back on New Jersey's music scene in the 1990s when we were all rock stars. We're still rock stars, but just doing different things now. Michael is a New Jersey native, lifelong guitarist, and music nerd. In the 90s, he and his band Segway recorded heavily and gigged tirelessly up and down the East Coast to anyone who would listen. These days, he spends the majority of his time teaching his six-year old twin boys (Sam and George) the importance of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and the need for very loud guitars. He is also a Partner and Co-founder of the Hi-Tech Recruiting Firm C2R Ventures, HQ'd in New York City. https://c2rventures.com/
In this episode we discuss the rock clubs of the 90s NJ music scene such as the Melody, Club Bene, Birch Hill, Studio One, etc...plus, the rebirth of vinyl, farewell tours, Slayer, Van Halen, Bruno Mars,Iron Maiden, Chuck Berry, John Mellencamp, Elder, Ghost, Art Stock, and a whole lotta random stuff. Mike Derrico, Pat Ivanitski, and Stick Nixon are your hosts.
We thank all of you who continue to support Rock Under Fire, and we welcome any new listeners to the show. As a rock and roll podcast, we make it a point not to focus on any one particular artist, band, or genre of music, but with that comes the reality that our show may not always appeal to everyone at the same time. The seven decades of rock and roll music along with its even longer history gives us an extremely broad canvas to create discussions on, drawing from different areas with each episode. So there is still always something for everyone. In past episodes we've discussed The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Prince, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Kiss, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, The Who, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, the Monterey Pop Festival, Woodstock, Doo Wop, The Beach Boys, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Steely Dan, The Strokes, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, The Doors, Patti Smith, The Ramones, Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, Guns n Roses, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Velvet Underground, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Cars, Cheap Trick, Heart, Dave Grohl, Jack White, digital streaming, the state of the music industry and record labels, the effect of rap and hip hop on rock, Neil Young, Talking Heads, Counting Crows, Boston, The Temptations, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, the Smithereens, Suzanne Vega, Van Halen, Rick Rubin, The Gun Club, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, The Mekons, UFO, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Chuck Klosterman, John Philip Sousa, Billy Joel, The Wipers, Iron Maiden, Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Waits, Thin Lizzy, the Bee Gees, Mozart, Beethoven, Puccini, Bob Marley, 5 Seconds of Summer, Twenty One Pilots, Ed Sheeran, J Geils Band, Billy Miller, Chris Cornell, Turn Me On Dead Man, the Desert Trip concerts, aging rock stars, our favorite debut albums, soundtracks, music licensing, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, disco vs. rock, Ticketmaster, Tom Petty, and our most overrated and underrated artists.

"Bad News" performed by Live Animals
Following the unexpected Dolores O'Riordan episode, Mike, Pat, and Stick re-assemble for the first full-cast show of 2018. After a long run of guests, the trio returns, and the conversation is all over the place...the future of death in rock and roll, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Judas Priest, Rod Stewart's 1978 album Blondes Have More Fun, a discussion of Stewart's 1970s recorded output, and a hilarious analysis of how duos like Seals and Crofts, Simon and Garfunkel, and Hall and Oats get their names. Mike Derrico, Pat Ivanitski, and Stick Nixon are your hosts.

"Bad News" performed by Live Animals
While troubleshooting some technical issues, the tragic news of Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan came in. What was supposed to be a test of our recording software turned into a little more than expected. Pat and Stick are not with me in this last minute episode, as it was totally unplanned. (Mike)
CORRECTIONS: While speaking off the cuff, I incorrectly listed the year of the Cranberries breakup as 2009...2003 is the correct year...the reunion was 2009. I also mentioned the recording date as Monday, January 16, 2018...it was actually Monday, January 15.

In Episode 32, we go after Ticketmaster, spell out the problems of the ticket industry, and call out those in positions of power, influence, and the media itself for continuing to blame the artists instead of drawing attention to the culprit for years of blatant thievery right in front of our faces. We also discuss Walter Becker, Charles Bradley, Bob Dylan's Bootleg Series Volume 13 (1979-1981), Adrian Vandenberg, Whitesnake, Doro Pesch, Warlock, and the 1987 metal classic Triumph and Agony.

In a very contentious episode, an overly talkative and aggravated Mike takes on Pat and Stick in a battle of opinions on Creatures of the Night-era Kiss in the middle of an otherwise celebratory conversation commemorating the rock legends. It’s Rock Under Fire’s Kiss episode..a show that challenges the consensus and commonly-accepted beliefs regarding certain eras of the band. We talk all eras, share our personal stories, likes, dislikes, as well as address the ongoing division and war among Kiss fans that persists to this day. Enjoy this fresh and brutally honest perspective from OUTSIDE the world of Kiss. We thank all of you who continue to support Rock Under Fire, and we welcome any new listeners to the show. As a rock and roll podcast, we make it a point not to focus on any one particular artist, band, or genre of music, but with that comes the reality that our show may not always appeal to everyone at the same time. The seven decades of rock and roll music along with its even longer history gives us an extremely broad canvas to create discussions on, drawing from different areas with each episode. So there is still always something for everyone. In the previous 29 episodes we've discussed The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Prince, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Kiss, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, The Who, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, the Monterey Pop Festival, Woodstock, Doo Wop, The Beach Boys, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Steely Dan, The Strokes, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, The Doors, Patti Smith, The Ramones, Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, Guns n Roses, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Velvet Underground, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Cars, Cheap Trick, Heart, Dave Grohl, Jack White, digital streaming, the state of the music industry and record labels, the effect of rap and hip hop on rock, Neil Young, Talking Heads, Counting Crows, Boston, The Temptations, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, the Smithereens, Suzanne Vega, Van Halen, Rick Rubin, The Gun Club, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, The Mekons, UFO, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Chuck Klosterman, John Philip Sousa, Billy Joel, The Wipers, Iron Maiden, Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Waits, Thin Lizzy, the Bee Gees, Mozart, Beethoven, Puccini, Bob Marley, 5 Seconds of Summer, Twenty One Pilots, Ed Sheeran, J Geils Band, Billy Miller, Chris Cornell, the Desert Trip concerts, aging rock stars, our favorite debut albums, soundtracks, music licensing, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, disco vs. rock, and our most overrated and underrated artists.

In one of the best discussions on disco that you will ever hear on a rock podcast, Echols and Derrico talk Barry White, James Brown, George Clinton, Donna Summer, the Village People, Casablanca Records, Philly soul, Giorgio Moroder, Stevie Wonder, the Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck, Kiss, Rod Stewart, Saturday Night Fever, Greg Tate, and many other names as well as the underlying social, racial, gender, and sexual implications during the era.

Legendary rock and roll photographer and author, Bob Gruen joins us for our one-year anniversary episode. We discuss Bob's career producing iconic images that have very often provided the narrative for rock and roll for the past 50 years. Bob is synonymous with John Lennon, Yoko Ono, The Rolling Stones, Ike and Tina Turner, Kiss, The New York Dolls, Led Zeppelin, Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Clash, and a mind-numbing host of other rock and roll legends. It is also difficult to think of Bob Gruen without thinking of his home, stomping ground, and workplace, New York City. He is, without a doubt, New York's premier photographer, and one of the most important that rock and roll music has ever seen. In this little tribute episode to the power of the image in rock music, we're honored to be joined by Bob. Mike also gives his review of the Fyre Festival. Mike Derrico and Pat Ivanitski are your hosts in the absence of co-host Stick Nixon. Go to Bob Gruen's website at http://www.bobgruen.com/.

As our search for all that has gone wrong with rock music continues, Episode 19 puts rock's most powerful symbol, the guitar itself, under fire. How did the guitar go from the coolest object on Earth to an instrument for wimps? We also discuss the death of rock's founding father Chuck Berry, the possible retirement of Eric Clapton, and a host of guitar-related names such as Eddie Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Tony Macalpine, Al Di Meola, and Vinnie Moore. Pat also reviews Panic! At the Disco's recent Madison Square Garden gig.

In Episode 18, we address Ed Sheeran's recent "record-breaking" chart dominance, the likes of which has not been since The Beatles. We challenge its validity by comparing the model of the pop charts in 1964 with the current model of 2017. We also discuss 1980s Kiss, and Stick reviews the Flaming Lips show at Terminal 5. Mike Derrico and Stick Nixon at the mics in the absence of co-host Pat Ivanitski.

By listener request, Supergroups is our topic for Episode 17. We talk about the biggest supergroups of the rock era such as Cream, Blind Faith, The Firm, Traveling Wilburys, Highwaymen, Temple of the Dog, Oysterhead, Asia, etc... Audience comments and contributions are read and discussed as well, along with some isolated conversations about Eric Clapton, Robbin Crosby, and the never-ending criticism of our mission statement that rock as we once knew it, is dead. Episode 17 also contains well-served rants from Pat and Mike regarding the Metallica/Lady Gaga Grammy Award debacle.

In Episode 16 we discuss and celebrate the career of David Bowie. 2017 marks what would have been his 70th birthday as well as the one year anniversary of his passing. Stick Nixon returns and we're joined once again by Tracy O for 70 minutes of all things Bowie.

In Episode 15 we talk copyrights, publishing, and how music licensing has become the most lucrative source of revenue for many bands and artists that once got by on album sales and touring. Is it the only way out for some? Or is it simply selling out? What constitutes “selling out?” What kinds of compromises are entailed? We examine these questions in a 90-minute discussion that also explores the likes of ASCAP, BMI, Apple, U2, Metallica, Aerosmith, Huey Lewis, Ray Parker Jr., Starship, George Harrison, The Chiffons, Ed Sheeran, George Michael, and the two similar but unique cases of Led Zeppelin vs. Spirit and Jake Holmes. While co-host Stick is away, Pat and Mike are joined by Tracy, the consulting, advising, and analytic guru who works behind the scenes of Rock Under Fire’s social media.

For Episode 14, we raid the vault and give you a show never meant for release. Since our much-anticipated Christmas Spectacular got hit left and right with copyright claims and we are on holiday break, we're throwing this one out there in the meantime...a conversation that got left behind back in June as we were working on our "1966" episode. We were discussing the state of the podcast, then five episodes in, and decided to turn the mics on. In a very random half hour of subjects, we talk about Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Dolly Parton, Brad Gillis, Loverboy, The Allman Brothers, Tame Impala, Pearl Jam, and Jon Bon Jovi in a very aimless but fun episode. We return in January 2017!

"She Caught the Katy" - written by Taj Mahal, performed by the Blues Brothers
In Episode 11, we dissect and discuss a recent article by Chuck Klosterman speculating on how the history of rock and roll will be viewed and taught 300 years from today, and if there is one artist to exemplify the rock and roll era, who it will be. We also further our ongoing discussion on the show's underlying theme and question: Is rock dead?
In addition, we are sure to raise a few eyebrows as we open up a new exploration into a question that hasn't really been asked yet: Did grunge really have the impact that we think it did? What is the real long term influence and legacy of Nirvana and Pearl Jam? And did they help rock music or end up hurting it?

Also Sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30 by Richard Strauss
In Episode 10, we are joined by artist, writer, and director, Michael Lee Nirenberg. With a massive archive of stunning visual art as well as a number of brilliant short films over the past decade and a half, he is perhaps best known for his much-acclaimed 2014 documentary, BACK ISSUES: THE HUSTLER MAGAZINE STORY. https://www.amazon.com/Back-Issues-Hu... Never one to champion the mainstream, Nirenberg's current Huffington Post column serves as a constant dialogue of ideas with those who have pushed societal, musical, technological, literary, and artistic boundaries, often from the farthest edges of society, yet remain culturally relevant and significant. In this 80-minute discussion, Nirenberg sits down with us to talk about the current state of rock and roll, punk, post-punk, Brett Smiley, Kate Bush, Bob Dylan, Kurt Vonnegut, Rap, Hip Hop, Eminem's "Campaign Speech," the irrelevance of music criticism, the 1986 documentary Heavy Metal Parking Lot, Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum, and a whole lot more. We also discuss favorite bands, guitarists, vocalists, as well as pit David Bowie's LOW and HEROES and Steely Dan's AJA and THE ROYAL SCAM against each other in a new Rock Under Fire segment called Gun To The Head.

In Episode 7, we go through our audience picks for most overrated and underrated bands and artists, and talk about our own. This one may ruffle some feathers.
In Episode 6 we look back at the music of 1966... fifty years later, and reassess highly influential albums such as The Beatles REVOLVER, Bob Dylan's BLONDE ON BLONDE, and The Beach Boys PET SOUNDS. We examine the year as a dividing line between the past and the future of rock music, and a marker for significant change in music altogether. We also debate the remarkably eclectic mix of musical styles simultaneously on the charts during a 12-month period that informed how rock music would be recorded, presented, and heard in the future. Join Pat Ivanitski, Mike Derrico, and Stick Nixon in this unique blast from the past, fifty years in the making...the artists, the bands, the music, and the influence of 1966.
(originally published June 12, 2016) In Episode 5, Pat, Mike, and Stick discuss the effects of rap, Clear Channel (iHeart Media), and Millennial Deficit Disorder on rock music...as well as assess the long term effects of piracy and more recent influences of entities such as Spotify and Pandora on the music industry itself...and how the labels have managed to survive unscathed in the digital age.
(originally published June 6, 2016) In Episode 4, Pat, Mike, and Stick discuss aging bands and artists of rock's first three generations who have crossed over into the 21st Century and refuse to retire. We look at the myth of early rock and roll, and how it was supposed to be made by the young and for the young. In the 1950s through the 1970s, nobody could envision a rock world still dominated by the same bands and artists four decades later...but in 2016, it is a reality.
(originally published May 30, 2016) In Episode 3, Pat, Mike, and Stick discuss their favorite debut rock albums, why some made the list, and why others did not.
(originally published May 23, 2016) If you could go back in time to see three shows by legendary bands or artists that you missed because you were either not on the planet yet, too young, or just not paying attention...what would they be? Pat, Mike, and Stick discuss their picks, as well as concert ticket accessibility today vs. the 1970s. NOTE At the time of recording, we were still experiencing sound issues. These issues have since been corrected, and we promise better quality audio in the future.
(originally published May 17, 2016) Rock Under Fire is a podcast for multi-layered discussion and analysis of rock and roll music, covering seven decades and all genres of rock. It assess the place of rock music in the 21st Century, critiques the impact of the digital age on the music industry, as well as analyses and debates the history of rock and roll. Nothing is off limits! In this introductory episode, your hosts Mike Derrico, Pat Ivanitski, and Stick Nixon talk introductions, the death of Prince, and a brief encounter with the death of rock and roll, the underlying theme of the show and a hint of what is to come.
