Happy 300th to us! LC & Bakko do a little self indulgent reflection on the last eight years in podcasting. Then it's on with the show. Britney Spears vs. Victor W. Michael Jackson wasn't well. Bakko goes to an Uncle Kracker show. Ellefson saves Megadeth. LC & Bakko accuse each other of grooming. LC gives an update on getting a cat. Ace Frehley has some thoughts on groupies while his manager gets arrested. Motley Crue recording session = job security for Bob Rock. And somehow Charles Manson comes up. Thanks from LC & Bakko to all of the people who have guested on our program. All of the artists who have come on for an interview. And most important, the listeners for the 8 years of support. It's been a blast and we aren't done yet. Pantheon Podcasts Reach out to us!

Author Brian J. Kramp joins LC to discuss his book "Cheap Trick: This Band Has No Past" his podcast Rock and/or Roll, and the Rock N Pod Expo.
Buy his book! It's great!
Buy Cheap Trick: This Band Has No Past on Amazon
Jawbone Press
Brian Kramp dug deep for the details. After reading his book, my black-and-white memories are now in color. Great work Brian!’
BUN E. CARLOS
‘Brian Kramp’s amazing, forensic investigation into the band’s prehistory and early days does for Cheap Trick what Mark Lewisohn did for The Beatles: unravel myths, pin down elusive details, reveal surprising facts, identify relevant characters, and put it all in historical context. I thought I knew the story, but I learned a lot.’
IRA ROBBINS
‘Brian has meticulously researched the band’s history and reveals fascinating things that even the most ardent Trick fan couldn’t know without this colorful and fact-filled chronicle. It’s a definitive history of a unique and brilliant group—the most talented, clever, and entertaining band I experienced in my thirty years as an A&R man and producer.’
TOM WERMAN
This Band Has No Past tells the story of a bar band from the Midwest—the best and weirdest bar band in the Midwest— and how they doggedly pursued a most unlikely career in rock’n’roll. It traces every gnarly limb of the family tree of bands that culminated in Cheap Trick, then details how this unlikely foursome paid their dues—with interest—night after night, slogging it out everywhere from high schools to bars to bowling alleys to fans’ back yards, before signing to Epic Records and releasing two brilliant albums six months apart.

On a quick swing through Minnesota, LC & Bakko go out for breakfast. What you are listening to is an unedited recording of their conversation at the table. Not a real EP. Just an honest peak at their friendship. And a colorful waitress.

Aaron Camaro of Decibel Geek joins forces with LC to discuss the genius of Ugly Kid Joe. Note: This ep features zero songs with Hate or Cradle in the title. Join us for a fun conversation.
In 1991, Ugly Kid Joe released As Ugly As They Wanna Be, the greatest-selling EP of all time. They followed it up with the multi-platinum America's Least Wanted, toured with bands such as Ozzy Osbourne, and then... basically vanished. Since then they've released several albums you've likely never heard of, and their new release Rad Wings of Destiny is out on October 21, 2022. We discuss their history and our fandom, highlight each of our top 5 songs plus present our theory of why they never play in the US.

With the Labor Day Holiday weekend LC & Bakko are taking a week off. So this week we look back and replay one of our most popular interviews. Jake E Lee from 2018. Originally posted in November 2018, this chat helped get us to a new level so to speak.
Jake E Lee joins the program for a wide ranging conversation that covers everything from Ozzy wanting to write songs at 3:00 in the morning, Phil Soussan conspiring against him, not bonding with Ozzy, the Badlands manager trying to blackmail him, how he found out Ray Gillan was sick, the modern way of recording an album, Red Dragon Cartels latest record Patina and SOOOOO much more. Just in time for the Holidays, Jake is the gift that just keeps on giving. A fascinating and at times absurd conversation. You may want to relieve yourself before listening. This one is long. Enjoy.

Season 2 ends with a bang. Hot tub. Guitars. Vodka. Whiskey and too many Coors Light's pepper this recording. Andy drinks enough Fruity Pebbles vodka that he becomes Bam Bam. An aborted game of Kill. Fuck. Marry. Tons of inappropriate conversation that captures the attention of the neighbors. Capped off with the Random Rocker game. This time it's the host of Rock Strikes Ten, Joey Haynie, is the latest to attempt to take down Gene.
In this EP Bakko & LC cover the following topics. Bakko's new sitcom, "Tommy Lee, LC & Me". A desk with the podcaster in mind. Metallica fan = Ugly in the 80's. Hot in 2022. Alex Jones may be from another time. Steve Albini is a poker genius. Judas Priest lost Ripper Owens' contact info. Ranking fairs. Kid Rock fans pissed off they spent so much time parking.

Cancel culture has an enemy in Disturbd. And Alex Alt from the Slydog Podcast tries to end Gene's undefeated record in Random Rocker.

Recorded live in Nashville Tennessee, the Metal Cowboy Ron Keel joins the program for a once-in-a-lifetime event for Cobras & Fire. This one will make you smile. #ROCKNPOD From that first Steeler album to recent releases like “South X South Dakota” and “Fight Like A Band,” Ron Keel’s 35-year career in entertainment has taken him from the concrete jungles of arena rock to the dirt roads of country music. Along the way, he has sold millions of albums and toured the world as both a heavy metal screamer (KEEL, Steeler, and a brief encounter with Black Sabbath) and a southern rock/outlaw country artist (with dozens of songs in major films and TV shows). For the past two decades, the Metal Cowboy has combined both genres, establishing a style and a persona that captures the heart and personality of this self-proclaimed rock n’ roll outlaw.
Keel’s legendary major label debut album THE RIGHT TO ROCK was produced by KISS’ Gene Simmons – they went on to notch three albums on Billboard’s Hot 100 as well as MTV and radio hits “The Right To Rock,” “Because The Night,” “Tears Of Fire,” “Somebody’s Waiting,” and “Rock N Roll Outlaw.”
Opening shows for Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Motley Crue, Dio, Y&T, Queensryche and many more established a hard work ethic that remains strong today; the 2019/2020 World Tour included the Monsters Of Rock Cruise (Belize/Cozumel), Ron’s first-ever tour of Australia, the Frontiers Rock Festival in Milan, Italy, the KISS & Rock N Roll Expo in Helsinki, Finland, casinos, fairs and festivals stateside, KEELFEST (featuring Keel, Ron Keel Band and Steeler) plus major bike events like the Sturgis Rally and Hot Harley Nights.
After nearly three years hosting the “Streets of Rock & Roll” rock-and-talk syndicated radio show, Keel was handpicked to join a dream team of Midwest rock radio royalty on KBAD 94.5 FM, where Ron’s “Mid-Day Mayhem” show skyrocketed to the top of the Neilson ratings for that region. He’s now back on the “Streets Of Rock N Roll” with weekly broadcasts on PureRockRadio.net, TotalRock.com, 97Underground, Philly Rock Radio and RockRageRadio.com.
As a songwriter, Ron has dozens of TV and film credits – major movies like “Men In Black II,” “Dolphin Tale,” “The Messengers” and many more – and his songs have been featured in hit TV shows like “X-Files,” “Desperate Housewives,” “The Simpsons,” “King Of The Hill,” and the Daytona 500 broadcast.
Ron Keel has worked hard to remain ahead of the curve, constantly re-inventing himself and evolving with the changes in the entertainment industry.

Aaron Camaro of Decibel Geek joins Loose Cannon for the premiere ep of AC/LC to bust balls and laugh uncontrollably while discussing their love of Local H and showcasing their favorite tracks. . Mission Statement: Encouraging our listeners to dig into Local H’s catalog for some hard rock gems and see them live! A 2 piece rock band from Zion, IL, Local H is most known for the late 90’s single “Copacetic” (Bound for the Floor), a song that, in our opinion, does not properly represent their sound or talent. Local H’s lineup consists of Scott Lucas (Vocals/Guitar-Bass) and several (killer) drummers over the years. Originally on Island Records, their albums have been produced by Roy Thomas Baker (Queen), Jack Douglas (Aerosmith), and Steve Albini (Nirvana). Join the fun and hopefully, you discover some new tunes! Song snippets featured: High, Wide and Stupid (from Lifers) Fritz’s Corner (from As Good as Dead) All the Kid’s are Right (from Pack up the Cats) Cool Magnet (from Pack up the Cats) Half-Life (from Here Comes the Zoo) Creature Comforted (from Here Comes the Zoo) California Songs (from PJ Soles) High Fivin’ MF (from As Good as Dead) Toxic (Britney Spears cover from Alive ‘05) Gig Bag Road (from Hey Killer) Demon Dreams (from Lifers)

Just over a year ago we started this tribute to Grunge and the Seattle scene. Through it all, it comes down to this. We have reached the No. 1 Record on Rolling Stones Greatest grunge albums of all time. Nirvana Nevermind. Thanks go to every guest who helped make this series what it is. A time capsule of one of music's most prominent movements. Not only do we dive deep into the record that set it all in motion, we look back on the last year and what it all means.
Nevermind is the second studio album by American rock band Nirvana, released on September 24, 1991 by DGC Records. Produced by Butch Vig, it was Nirvana's first release on the DGC label, as well as the first to feature drummer Dave Grohl. Nevermind features a more polished, radio-friendly sound than the band's prior work, and is therefore considered a significant departure from their debut album, Bleach.

Coming in at Number 2 on Rolling Stones Greatest Grunge Albums is the 1991 release from Soundgarden, Badmotorfinger. The guest host this ep is Kevin Williams from the In Obscuria podcast. Kevin brings his very unique expertise to the show as he and Bakko relive this Grunge masterpiece.
Badmotorfinger is the third studio album by American rock band Soundgarden, released on September 24, 1991, through A&M Records. Soundgarden began the recording sessions for the album with new bassist Ben Shepherd in the spring of 1991. The album maintained the band's heavy metal sound while featuring an increased focus on songwriting as compared with the band's previous releases. AllMusic considered the album's music to be "surprisingly cerebral and arty"; alternative tunings and odd time signatures were present on several of the album's songs, and lyrics were intended to be ambiguous and create imagery.

Some bonus coverage. Bakko talks with the engineer of Pearl Jam Ten, Dave Hillis. Dave has plenty of amazing anecdotes from the making of one of the biggest records in Grunge and Rock music in general.
Dave Hillis started his career as a 17 year old guitarist for the legendary thrash metal band "MACE." In the mid 80's, they released two LP's on Enigma Records in the US and Blackdragon Records in Europe. They were featured on Metalblade Records, "Metal Massacre V"and recognized in the "Thrash-Metal Encyclopedia" and fanzines around the world, as a pioneering force in heavy metal. To this day, there is still a huge following of this pioneering band. Led by Dave's furious guitar work, they charted in the UK and Japan. Mace later toured with Slayer, Anthrax, Raven, Death Angel, and Testament.
Dave spent ten years as Chief Engineer, along side legendary producer Rick Parashar, at Seattle's famed London Bridge Studios, during the birth of the Grunge Era. Dave worked as the Engineer on Pearl Jam's debut album "Ten" , Assistant Engineer on the Self Titled "Mother Love Bone" album, the movie soundtrack for "Singles", Alice in Chains, Blind Melon, The Seattle Symphony, Love On Ice, and many others.
As the years went by, developed his own producing and engineering skills and continued to work with multiple major label artists. During this time he co-produced, with Greg Dulli, The Afghan Whigs' standout farewell single "66" , on the "1965 " LP and the Twilight Singers "She Loves You" record.
Dave also continued to create and record his own music. Dave founded the alternative rock group, "Sybil Vane" , and was the guitarist and song writer. Sybil Vane was signed with both Polydor Records and Island Records. Their song "Sorry" was featured in the movie "Empire Records" , starring actress Liv Tyler.
In 2005, Dave founded, produced, mixed and engineered the Shoegaze group "Thee Heavenly Music Association" (Rehash Records US, Fierce Panda Records UK) , to much critical acclaim, where he also served as the group's guitarist and songwriter. During this time, Dave also co-produced the Kevin Martin (Candlebox) solo record "The Possibility Of Being" on Gold Circle Entertainment and worked with comedian, Denis Leary on his live album. Dave continued playing and was hired as a live guitarist for Duff McKagen's (Guns and Roses) band "Loaded". While living in London, Dave worked with multi platinum artist James Blunt, on his writing demos for his hugely successful "Back to Bedlam" album, which included "You're Beautiful" and, "Good Bye My Lover". Dave is also credited with working on Britpop star, Chris Gentry's (Menswear) solo recordings.
In 2011, Dave opened Starlodge Studios in the SODO neighborhood of Seattle; a private mix and overdub room featuring vintage and modern recording tools and his beloved AMPEX 1/2" tape Machine for analog magic.
Most recently, Dave has crossed over to house and electronic music, with his alter-ego Lo-Rez. Lo-Rez has received critical acclaim and has been featured on major motion film soundtracks. The album "Infinity", has been remastered and re-released in 2019.
Dave currently resides in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with his wife and daughter. He is currently working on new music, engineering, producing, participating in public speaking engagements and workshops. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Coming in at No. 3 on Rolling Stones Greatest Grunge albums is the debut record from Pearl Jam, Ten. Joining the program this week, from Pods & Sods, Craig Smith. Craig and Bakko get into all the details of this seminal Grunge classic.
Ten is the debut studio album by American rock band Pearl Jam, released on August 27, 1991, through Epic Records. Following the dissolution of their previous band Mother Love Bone in 1990, bassist Jeff Ament and guitarist Stone Gossard began rehearsing with guitarist Mike McCready. The group recorded a five-song instrumental demo tape with Matt Cameron on drums. Copies of the demo were eventually given to drummer Dave Krusen and vocalist Eddie Vedder, both of whom were invited to audition for the band in Seattle. Many of the songs on Ten were instrumental jams or reworked Mother Love Bone songs for which Vedder composed new melodies and lyrics.

In this bonus ep Bakko chats with the producer of Hole's record, Live Through This, Paul Q. Kolderie.
Paul Q. Kolderie is an American record producer, engineer, and mixer. He has worked with Pixies, Radiohead, Orangutang, Hole, Dinosaur Jr., Juliana Hatfield, Wax, Warren Zevon, Uncle Tupelo, Throwing Muses, Morphine, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Abandoned Pools, the Go-Go's, and Mike Gordon of Phish. He usually works with production partner Sean Slade.
Kolderie and Slade were friends from Yale University, where they played in bands together. They also became members of Sex Execs, a Boston-based new wave music band of the early 1980s.
The duo had their formative experience as producers while they were in Sex Execs. Most of the group lived in a house in Dorchester, Boston that was wired up as a primitive studio. Other bands came over to record as well, including a local act called Three Colors, which featured saxophonist Dana Colley, later of Morphine. As Sex Execs became more successful, they started recording in professional studios such as Syncro Sound, which was owned by The Cars. Kolderie learned a lot from the engineers there. He got to record an EP for Three Colors at Syncro, earning his first production credit. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dirt is the second studio album by the American rock band Alice in Chains, released on September 29, 1992, through Columbia Records. Peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 chart, the album was also well received by music critics. It has since been certified four-times platinum by the RIAA and gone on to sell five million copies worldwide, making Dirt the band's highest selling album to date. It is the band's last album recorded with all four original members, as bassist Mike Starr was fired from the band in January 1993. The album spawned five singles: "Would?", "Them Bones", "Angry Chair", "Rooster", and "Down in a Hole"; all with accompanying music videos. Dirt was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. The music video for "Would?" was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award for Best Video from a Film, as the song was featured on the soundtrack to Cameron Crowe's 1992 film Singles.

Coming in at No. 7 on Rolling Stones Greatest Grunge Albums is the self titled Temple Of The Dog. Joining Bakko as co-host this ep is Dave Brewington of the Blame Your Brother podcast. Dave and Bakko offer their insight as they break down this pivotal grunge record.
Temple of the Dog was an American rock super group that formed in Seattle, Washington in 1990. It was conceived by vocalist Chris Cornell of Soundgarden as a tribute to his friend, the late Andrew Wood, lead singer of the bands Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone. The lineup included Stone Gossard on rhythm guitar, Jeff Ament on bass guitar (both ex-members of Mother Love Bone and later Pearl Jam), Mike McCready (later Pearl Jam) on lead guitar, and Matt Cameron (Soundgarden and later Pearl Jam) on drums. Eddie Vedder appeared as a guest to provide some lead and backing vocals.

In Utero producer Steve Albini joins the show to discuss his career and share some stories of the making of Nirvana’s final album.
“A key figure in the American underground music community since the 1980s, Steve Albini is well-known as both a figure behind the scenes, engineering albums by acts both famous and hopelessly obscure, and for his work with his bands Big Black and Shellac. Notoriously outspoken and unafraid of making polarizing statements, Albini is well-known for his views on integrity and its absence in the music business, as well as the flaws in the digital recording process and the superiority of analog technology. Albini's engineering skills have been celebrated for their sense of space, naturalistic tone, and the power of his guitar and drum sounds.” – Mark Deming

Coming in at No. 8 on Rolling Stones Greatest Grunge Albums list is the 1993 record from Nirvana, In Utero. Joining Bakko this week is the host of Damn Good Movie Memories, Brian Davis. Brian and Bakko get into the details of the making of the follow up to the game changing Nevermind.
In Utero is the third and final studio album by American rock band Nirvana, released on September 13, 1993, by DGC Records. The band intended for the record to be a departure from the polished sound of its predecessor, Nevermind. Early in 1992, frontman Kurt Cobain stated that In Utero would showcase "both of the extremes" of Nirvana's sound, saying "it'll be more raw with some songs and more candy pop on some of the others. It won't be as one-dimensional as Nevermind".
To capture a more abrasive and natural sound, Nirvana hired engineer Steve Albini to record In Utero during a two-week period in February 1993 at Pachyderm Studio in Cannon Falls, Minnesota. The music was quickly recorded within that time with few studio embellishments. The lyrics and album packaging largely incorporated medical imagery that conveyed frontman Kurt Cobain's outlook on his publicized personal life and his band's newfound fame.

As bonus coverage this week we have an interview with Michael Beinhorn, producer of Soundgarden's "Superunknown". Michael shares stories from the making and recording of Soundgarden's most successful record.
Michael Beinhorn has lived his life in the pursuit of artistic expression, first as a visual artist, then as a performer, and finally as a record producer.
Forgoing a promising career in medical illustration, Beinhorn began his musical endeavors in 1979 as co-founder of the seminal New York musical collective Material. The group’s singular style and strong artistic personalities led to their producing their own recordings out of necessity. As the band rose to prominence, in 1980 they were approached by Brian Eno, collaborating on the track “Lizard Point” from Eno’s acclaimed recording “Ambient 4: On Land.”
In 1983, Beinhorn co-produced Herbie Hancock’s landmark recording, Future Shock, which included the groundbreaking cut “Rockit.” The song, co-written and co-produced by Beinhorn, would become Columbia Records’ most successful 12-inch single ever, selling over three million copies and winning a Grammy in 1984 for Best R&B Instrumental Recording.
After departing Material in 1984, Beinhorn’s production career began to reach new heights. His work on the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ breakthrough albums “The Uplift Mofo Party Plan” and “Mother’s Milk” was instrumental in propelling the band to stardom.
Beinhorn gained a reputation for producing a number of “high watermark” albums that have helped to define the careers of a diverse range of artists, including Soul Asylum, Hole, Soundgarden, Ozzy Osbourne, Courtney Love, Marilyn Manson, Social Distortion, Korn, Golden Palominos, and Mew. His recordings have achieved combined worldwide sales of more than 45 million albums, and he is one of only a handful of producers to have two separate recordings debut in Billboard’s Top Ten in the same week, with Marilyn Manson’s “Mechanical Animals” (#1) and Hole’s “Celebrity Skin” (#9) also earning him a 1998 Grammy nomination for Producer of the Year.
In addition to producing, arranging, engineering, co-writing, and performing on many of his projects, Beinhorn’s attention to detail and tireless pursuit of sonic excellence led him to develop and commission the first two-inch eight-track Ultra-Analog multitrack tape recording format.
In recent years, Beinhorn has turned his attention to the concerns facing today’s artists and producers attempting to maintain their creative ethics and focus on the recording process. He has been increasingly active in mentoring fellow artists and aspiring record producers. He addresses these and other pertinent issues in his book “Unlocking Creativity”, published by Hal Leonard. He continues to inspire the artists he works with to excel to greater heights, with an unwavering commitment to sonic exploration and creative excellence.

Coming in at Number 9 on Rolling Stone's greatest Grunge Albums is Soundgarden's 1994 release "Superunknown" featuring guest host, from the Pods & Sods Podcast, Eric Miller. Eric and Bakko talk about the making of the record, the genius of Chris Cornell and go track by track.
Superunknown is the fourth studio album by American rock band Soundgarden, released on March 8, 1994, through A&M Records. It is the band's second album with bassist Ben Shepherd, and features new producer Michael Beinhorn. Soundgarden began work on the album after touring in support of its previous album, Badmotorfinger (1991). Superunknown captured the heaviness of the band's earlier releases while displaying a more diverse range of influences.
Superunknown was a critical and commercial success and became the band's breakthrough album. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 310,000 copies in its opening week. The album also topped the Australian, Canadian, and New Zealand charts. Five singles were released from the album: "The Day I Tried to Live", "My Wave", "Fell on Black Days", "Spoonman", and "Black Hole Sun", the latter two of which won Grammy Awards and helped Soundgarden reach mainstream popularity. In 1995, the album was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. The album has been certified five times platinum by the RIAA in the United States, has sold 9 million copies worldwide and remains Soundgarden's most successful album. In April 2019, Superunknown was ranked No. 9 on Rolling Stone's "50 Greatest Grunge Albums" list.

Vs. (pronounced versus) is the second studio album by American rock band Pearl Jam, released October 19, 1993 through Epic Records. After a relentless touring schedule in support of their 1991 debut album Ten, Pearl Jam headed into the studio in early 1993 facing the challenge of following up the commercial success of its debut. The resulting album, Vs., featured a rawer and more aggressive sound compared with the band's previous release. It was the band's first collaboration with producer Brendan O'Brien and its first album with drummer Dave Abbruzzese.

Cobras & Fire welcomes the Metal God, Rob Halford from Judas Priest to the show. Rob discusses his new book "Confess", his love of cat t-shirts and online shopping, weather patterns, reliving some of the darker times of his past writing the book and even some John Lennon talk.
Confess: The Autobiography
The legendary frontman of Judas Priest, one of the most successful heavy metal bands of all time, celebrates five decades of heavy metal in this tell-all memoir.
Most priests hear confessions. This one is making his.
Rob Halford, front man of global iconic metal band Judas Priest, is a true “Metal God.” Raised in Britain’s hard-working, heavy industrial heartland, he and his music were forged in the Black Country. Confess, his full autobiography, is an unforgettable rock ‘n’ roll story-a journey from a Walsall council estate to musical fame via alcoholism, addiction, police cells, ill-fated sexual trysts, and bleak personal tragedy, through to rehab, coming out, redemption . . . and finding love.
Now, he is telling his gospel truth.
Told with Halford’s trademark self-deprecating, deadpan Black Country humor, Confess is the story of an extraordinary five decades in the music industry. It is also the tale of unlikely encounters with everybody from Superman to Andy Warhol, Madonna, Jack Nicholson, and the Queen. More than anything else, it’s a celebration of the fire and power of heavy metal.
Rob Halford has decided to Confess. Because it’s good for the soul.

About Judas Priest (Wiki)
Judas Priest are an English heavy metal band formed in West Bromwich in 1969. They have sold over 50 million copies of their albums, and are frequently ranked as one of the greatest metal bands of all time. Despite an innovative and pioneering body of work in the latter half of the 1970s, the band had struggled with indifferent record production and a lack of major commercial success until 1980, when they rose to commercial success with the album British Steel.
The band's membership has seen much turnover, including a revolving cast of drummers in the 1970s and the departure of singer Rob Halford in 1992. The American singer Tim "Ripper" Owens replaced Halford in 1996 and recorded two albums with Judas Priest, before Halford returned to the band in 2003. The current line-up consists of Halford, guitarists Glenn Tipton and Richie Faulkner, bassist Ian Hill and drummer Scott Travis. The band's best-selling album is 1982's Screaming for Vengeance, with their most commercially successful line-up featuring Hill, Halford, Tipton, guitarist K. K. Downing, and drummer Dave Holland. Tipton and Hill are the only two members of the band to appear on every album.
Halford's operatic vocal style and the twin guitar sound of Downing and Tipton have been a major influence on heavy metal bands. Judas Priest's image of leather, spikes, and other taboo articles of clothing were widely influential during the glam metal era of the 1980s. The Guardian referred to British Steel as the record that defines heavy metal. Despite a decline in exposure during the mid 1990s, the band has once again seen a resurgence, including worldwide tours, being inaugural inductees into the VH1 Rock Honors in 2006, receiving a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2010, and having their songs featured in video games such as Guitar Hero and the Rock Band series. Judas Priest was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2020 class,[1] but did not get in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Coming in at number 15 on Rolling Stones Greatest Grunge Albums list is the L7 1992 major label debut, Bricks Are Heavy. Co-hosted this week, from the Talk Toomey Podcast, host Josh Toomey.
Bricks Are Heavy is the third studio album by American rock band L7, released on April 14, 1992 by Slash Records. The album peaked at number 160 on the US Billboard 200 and number one on the Heatseekers Albums chart.
AllMusic - "Though they hailed from sunny L.A., L7 became the poster girls for grunge in 1992, with the meteoric success of their third album, Bricks Are Heavy. While their previous efforts had sounded sloppy and uneven, Nevermind producer Butch Vig helped the girls obtain a tight, compact sound on Bricks, pushing them to focus on their songwriting to boot."

Hard rock band The Lonely Ones have released their reimagined version of Queen's classic song "Flash". Even though it was originally recorded in 2019, the band decided that this was the opportune time to release their heroic cover inspired by one of the most relevant rock bands from past and present times.
he video can be seen here: https://youtu.be/Bct_S9Dp3dE
"Flash/ The Hero" stream/download link: https://linktr.ee/thelonelyones
"We recorded Flash in 2019 - a pretty dark year for the four of us on all fronts. Our original musical output reflected that darkness so recording a cartoonishly triumphant, heroic cover song seemed like a good counter-balance. Fast forward to spring 2020 and the impending COVID-19 Stay at Home order. With limited time and help from some fans we got our friends together to film a music video while we were still able. It's July now and, with the future more unclear than ever, it seems like the perfect time to release the most positive song we have. I hope you enjoy it. Flash/The Hero. A Queen Cover" says the band.
Formed in the summer of 2019, The Lonely Ones are a four piece vocal-oriented hard rock band with an ear for melody and a taste for success. No strangers to the hardships of the music industry, The Lonely Ones know what they want and know how to get it. The first singles "Eternal Sadness" and "The Lonely One" debuted in March of 2020.

The Screaming Tree's 1992 record coming in at no. 17, guitarist Gary Lee Connor joins Bakko to share insights and stories of this classic album as well as the bands entire career and his relationship with the other members.
Screaming Trees were an American rock band formed in Ellensburg, Washington in 1985 by vocalist Mark Lanegan, guitarist Gary Lee Conner, bass player Van Conner and drummer Mark Pickerel. Pickerel had been replaced by Barrett Martin by the time the band reached its most successful period. Although widely associated with grunge, the band's sound incorporated hard rock and psychedelic elements. The band released seven studio albums, five EPs, and three compilations.
Screaming Trees is known as one of the pioneers of grunge along with the Melvins, Mudhoney, U-Men, Skin Yard, Soundgarden, Green River, and Malfunkshun.[citation needed] Screaming Trees rose to fame as part of the grunge movement of the early 1990s, along with bands such as Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and Soundgarden and was one of the most successful underground music acts of the 1990s. The band achieved one top ten single on the Modern Rock Tracks charts. Screaming Trees were plagued by extended inactivity due to their problems with making a follow up to Dust. This led to their official breakup in 2000.

Coming in at number 17 on Rolling Stones Greatest Grunge Albums list is the 1992 album from Screaming Trees, Sweet Oblivion. Joining Bakko for this episode is co-host of the Shout It Out Loudcast Tom Gigliotti. Tom and Bakko take a deep dive on this standout album from a Seattle Grunge band that is often overlooked.
The Screaming Trees one-upped their major-label debut, Uncle Anesthesia, with this solid, vastly underrated effort. Sweet Oblivion's lead single, the jumpy hard rocker "Nearly Lost You," proved itself a highlight on the hugely successful, Seattle-themed Singles soundtrack. But even though the Screaming Trees stacked up quite well against their more famous peers in that particular showcase, the exposure didn't make them stars. Perhaps it was because Sweet Oblivion had been released several months before Singles, and the band thus couldn't build a sense of anticipation for a new album release, the way Alice in Chains and Smashing Pumpkins did for Dirt and Siamese Dream, respectively; nor could they capitalize on the extra publicity that goes along with new releases. For whatever reason, Singles didn't push sales of Sweet Oblivion, as the latter only scraped the lower reaches of the Billboard charts. And that's a shame, because the record is quite good -- the best songs here are easily among the best in their catalog, and the songwriting was their most consistent yet. "Nearly Lost You" is a standout, of course, but "Dollar Bill," "Shadow of the Season," and "Butterfly" are nearly as impressive. Mark Lanegan's raspy voice conveys a weary wistfulness that adds an unexpected dimension to the group's otherwise macho garage-psych grunge. The Trees no longer sound all that punkish, trading in some of their early, noisy fury for a more '70s-indebted hard rock sound, but it's done with a graceful power that proves they were at least the equal of their more famous fellow scenesters. Unfortunately, the four-year hiatus between Sweet Oblivion and its follow-up, Dust, ensured that the band would be forever relegated to cult status. - All Music

It's all about beefs this episode. LC and Bakko clap back at a couple of KISS podcasts who dared to disrespect them. Great White is totally "Sorry, not sorry" about being the worst band to break the COVID barrier. Bret Michaels is going against better judgement by making another movie. And Sebastian Bach has few words for pro-wrestler and wannabe Skid Row singer (Bach's words) Chris Jericho as they engage in a totally believeable Twitter war. It's all about unbelievable conflict. Time to squash em!

Coming in at number 18 on Rolling Stones Greatest Grunge Albums list is the 1995 album from Seattle Supergroup Mad Season, Above. Joining Bakko for this episode is co-host of the Decibel Geek Podcast Aaron Camaro. The two discuss the making of the album, the songs that made up the record and the tragic legacy it holds.
Formed in a drug rehab center when Mike McCready checked himself into a Minnesota rehab center. It was there that McCready met local musician John Baker Saunders, and when he returned back to Seattle, called up Layne Staley, who was also at the time attempting to battle problems with substances. With Barrett Martin rounding out the lineup, an undeniable chemistry between all four musicians was discovered at their very first jam session, resulting in bits of music that would eventually become fully realized songs ("Wake Up" and "River of Deceit").
Mad Season was an American rock supergroup[3] formed in 1994 as a side project of members of other bands in the Seattle grunge scene. The band's principal members included guitarist Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, lead singer Layne Staley of Alice in Chains, drummer Barrett Martin of Screaming Trees and bassist John Baker Saunders. Mad Season released only one album, Above, in March 1995. Its first single, "River of Deceit", was a radio success, and Above was certified a gold album by the RIAA in June. #Grunge

You can’t discuss the recorded history of Grunge without talking to SUB POP records founder Bruce Pavitt. Any list of the Greatest Grunge anything would contain a large chunk of DNA from that label and it’s artists. Bruce shares anecdotes from his entire time with SUB POP and of course what it was like to be at the Epicenter of Rock’s last great scene.
Bruce Pavitt was born 1959 in Chicago IL. At the age of nine, he sold Christmas cards door-to-door in the summer heat, earning enough money to buy his first record player, and soon after, his first record (“Revolution” by the Beatles).
A lifelong passion for music brought him to the Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA, in 1979, where he spent time as a DJ at KAOS-FM. Soon after, he started his own zine named SUB POP, which reviewed hard-to-find independent rock recordings.
In 1988, along with business partner Jon Poneman, Bruce opened the doors to the SUB POP record label in downtown Seattle. By the early 90′s, SUB POP had released recordings by Nirvana, Soundgarden and Mudhoney, and helped initiate a global interest in Seattle area music.
Both an entrepreneur and music historian, Bruce has authored two books, Experiencing Nirvana and SUB POP USA, a collection of his early Sub Pop zines and syndicated columns.
Recognized as a cultural visionary and Seattle business icon, Bruce has appeared in a number of documentaries, including Sonic Highways and Hype. His footprints have been bronzed and embedded into the Walk of Fame sidewalk at 6th and Pine in Seattle, alongside Jimi Hendrix and Bill Gates.
Bruce Pavitt currently lives on Orcas Island, Washington. He is the father of two, and works as Creative Director at 8Stem interactive media.

It was also the debut release from one of the seminal Seattle alternative music labels C/Z records. In a way, this is ground zero for recorded music that would go onto to define Grunge.

The Metal Cowboy Ron Keel is back baby! This time to discuss the Ron Keel Bands latest release South X South Dakota. From the word go Ron is off discussing his thoughts on Covid-19, being a proud upper Midwest prepper, the struggle privately owned music venues face, whether or not the Eagles should be considered Southern Rock, his duet with Jasmine Cain, the ill-fated Australian Melodic Rock Fest, his move to High Volume Music, the 35th Anniversary of the Keel record The Right To Rock. And believe it or not, MORE!
Available now at http://ronkeelshop.com & https://www.highvolmusic.com/store/ Ron Keel Band has released their new album SOUTH X SOUTH DAKOTA, a celebration of southern rock classics featuring the music of Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Outlaws, Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet, .38 Special, Creedence and more, on the HighVolMusic label.
During recording sessions for their 2019 original album release FIGHT LIKE A BAND, the band warmed up each day by ripping through some of their favorite southern rock classics; what started as a fun way to loosen up in the studio has now become a powerful musical statement.
“At first, we didn’t even know Mike (producer Mike Dresch) was recording,” Ron says. “We were just having fun. But of course, Mike records everything we do, and when I started listening back I realized that we had something special on our hands.
“South X South Dakota is a really cool way to pay tribute to those southern rock heroes that provided such a big part of the soundtrack of our lives, while introducing a new generation of fans to these timeless songs.”
The album’s first single and video is “Red White & Blue,” originally recorded by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Dealing with the “social distancing” required during the global 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, the band members were each filmed at separate iconic locations including Mt. Rushmore. Another featured track is “Don’t Misunderstand Me,” a hard rocking duet which pairs the Metal Cowboy with the powerhouse vocalist Jasmine Cain (2016 Nashville Music Awards “Artist Of The Year”).
RKB’s cover of the Outlaws classic “Ghost Riders In The Sky” (produced by Henry Paul) was the debut single and video when they were known as the “Badlands House Band,” and “Homesick” (originally recorded by Atlanta Rhythm Section) was their 2017 summer single. Both of those recordings are included in the new SxSD collection.
“For 10 years during the 80’s, Hollywood was home,” Keel reflects. “But I was born in Georgia as the son of a construction worker, and Nashville’s where I got my start as a recording artist. My fans as well as my critics all know that I have one foot on either side of the tracks; there’s a common thread here that ties it all together – toughness and twang as Metal and Country collide on sacred southern ground.” Learn more about your ad choices.

We are pleased to welcome Dokken guitarist Jon Levin to the Program. Jon is launching his new website jonlevinguitars.com, a subscription guitar tutorial site for players of all levels. They also get into his career with Dokken, Doro and even some gear talk.
Guitarist Jon Levin, best known as the longtime (and current) guitarist of the 80s platinum selling heavy metal band Dokken, proudly announces a brand new venture teaching guitarist of all skill levels how to play like a professional. Jon Levin Guitars (www.jonlevinguitars.com) will feature hundreds of videos designed to teach players from beginners to the most seasoned players how to develop their chops, hone their skills, and hopefully attain their dreams as a guitar player on the largest stages around the world.
“My professional career began in 1988, when I auditioned for, and got the gig playing with Doro Pesch and “Warlock,” Levin recalled recently. “In 1998, I did my first show with Dokken at the Dallas Starplex and officially joined the band in 2003. Over the past number of years, I would frequently give instructional lessons either via Skype or in the hotel conference rooms before gigs. I always wanted to do it on a grander scale, though I never really came up with a way of doing that until now. Through the years, people would always ask me “why don’t you do a guitar project?” I was sitting on my couch playing guitar for my brother-in-law around Christmas time. He said this is great, why don’t you do this for everyone? So initially, I thought I would just record myself doing some riffs on the couch and put them out for people to view and learn. That then turned into an idea for a website that would be an instructional guitar tutorial for any category of player where I would put riffs up at regular speed, slow speed, and with commentary, in addition to solos I’ve done with Dokken throughout my career. It grew from there, and I decided to then add a gear review section, practice exercises, and overall instructional commentary.”
With a few months of recording, development and tweaking, the new site was finally ready to be launched.
“The site is www.jonlevinguitars.com and is going to launch with over 100 videos,” Levin states. “I will be adding to it every month that will be focused on a hands-on approach to making the user a better player at any level.”
Jon Levin Guitars is a subscription based service, costing $9.99 for a monthly subscription or $99.00 per year. Each month, new riffs and content will be created and posted for players of all skill levels. For more information, please visit www.jonlevinguitars.com.

On February 21st, rock & roll comedian Don Jamieson will release his new album, Denim & Laughter, via Metal Blade Records. Former 'That Metal Show' host Jamieson comments: "This album was recorded in front of about 40 hardcore fans in a speakeasy in a secret location in Los Angeles on October 19, 2019. Now the rest of you can enjoy it!
I've recorded my stand-up albums in comedy clubs, rock clubs and now an illegal club. Comedy is way more fun when you're at the risk of being raided at any moment!
Special thanks to one of my favorite all-time bands, Saxon, for letting me do the comedic version of their classic album 'Denim & Leather'. And I can't wait to tour the U.K. and Europe with their singer, Biff Byford. They follow in a prestigious line of my album cover band parodies…Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin. But of course, the album is not just for rockers, but for all people who like humor with a rock and roll attitude. Comedy is like rock and roll…it's no fun if it's not dangerous. And being a comedian on Metal Blade Records makes the whole package complete." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Wilson lead singer Chad Nicefield returns to the show to talk about Wilson calling it day. They catch up on all sorts of stuff that has happened since the 2018 release of their album Tasty Nasty leading up to what will be their final show Dec. 28 at the Crofoot complex in Pontiac. All sorts of Fuckery.
http://houseoffuckery.com/
After almost a decade long of global fuckery, Wilson has done the opposite of what every other band seems to do—they stopped taking shit so seriously! In the process of their, “personal awakening” they forged a new path for themselves and their sound by combining their brand of in-your-face rock n roll with the influence of Hip-Hop and all things 90s. Tasty Nasty is fresh, exciting, and most importantly fun! And it all started with a hit of acid.
Wilson's vocalist, Chad Nicefield, took a trip to Asia with his friends to pursue happiness. Once he experimented with acid he had a revelation about his life and his outlook on the band’s music changed everything. “I just kind of realized who we are as people and our DNA was that of a bunch of lovable, silly dudes, that love to make music," says Nicefield. "The world needs to know that about us. That needs to be in transparent our music.”
Now with no worries or inhibitions holding them back, the guys in Wilson embark on a journey through nostalgia and endearing nonsense on eleven brand new tracks. The opening track, “Dumptruck” is a sonic punch to the face as it kicks in with gang vocals chanting, “This shit bumps, this shit fucks, this shit dumps like a dump truck.” Followed by roaring guitar riffs and a chorus that really does “fuck”, the opener is a perfect dose to set your mind up for the next 35 some-odd-minutes. “Wrong Side of History” follows a Bizkit-ish path, leading you straight into the fever.
From that moment on you’re on their ride. With hints of the decade that shaped their musical tastes, combined with slick production and big singalong choruses, Tasty Nasty is equal parts self-deprecating and hilarious. This acid is one hell of a drug, as the fever dream truly kicks in, songs such as “Like A Baller” “My Hustle” and “Summertime Treat” are there to prove it! It’s not until track ten do you get a throwback to the old, heavier side of Wilson with, “House of Fuckery.” But that’s not what this record is about. It’s about looking ahead, not staring in the rearview mirror. And that, my friends, is Tasty Nasty. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

“I happen to like Rock & Roll and feel sorry for anyone who only listens to one form of music.” Ice-T is a national treasure and has always had a rock n’ rebel attitude, sampling War Pigs on the first track of his debut rap album to forming the hardcore punk/metal band Body Count influenced by Suicidal Tendencies and Black Sabbath. On this Ep, we give you the full Iceberg, not just the tip. Ice-T started a new genre as the OG of gangsta rap, collaborated with Slayer and Motörhead, on the lineup of the first Lolapalooza (91), starred in the ridiculous Breakin’ 2 Electric Boogaloo and the ambitious New Jack City, and gone from fighting Tipper Gore/PMRC, and vilified by George Bush with the controversial track “Cop Killer” to as mainstream as being on a Geico commercial and Law & Order SVU for two decades. Love him or hate him, join two middle class Caucasians (LC & Joey Haynie) as we cover a truly unique and fascinating American success story. Note. This Ep has more references to Journey and Color Me Badd then one would expect.

We break down the cultural significance, controversy, and impact that Manson had during his reign as the last Shock Rocker. HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Mas Dope!

Rock and roll legends will honor their own during a celebration of music with passion and talent at its core, spotlighting the lesser-known musicians who built the legacy of rock music. www.rockgodzhalloffame.com
All RockGodz Hall of Fame inductees are selected by inductee alumni, their peers, which continues to make the organization highly respected by the music community.
RACHEL BOLAN Rachel Bolan is the co-founder and songwriter for the band SKID ROW. Rachel realized that he wanted to be a performer at a very young age when he went to see Liberace with his parents and Grandmother. "I was only 5 years old, but was taken aback by the energy that filled the venue" Rachel said. It was after that moment he began listening to all the records that his brother and sisters owned. The first record he purchased was The Rolling Stones – Sticky Fingers. It changed his life. After that he was turned on to the likes of Alice Cooper, Kiss, Sex Pistols and Ramones to name a few. His first gig was in 1978 at Manasquan high school in Manasquan, NJ. In 1986 Rachel met Snake and the rest is history. Outside of Skid Row, Rachel produces other bands and writes songs for other artists, sports teams and with Snake writes music for ESPN.

We conclude our Black Sabbath retrospective with the Lost Era. Aside from a brief reunion with Dio in the early 90's, 1983-1996 was a fairly lost time for the band. This is the least covered era of Sabbath. And while there are reasons for that, there was some great music released during this time. And even if you aren't a fan of the music from this time, the story is very interesting. Back for the conclusion is Gene Vogel and even Ron Keel joins the show to discuss his moment with the band.

On his memories of Eric Carr. - "He was a fun loving guy who had a great time and fit perfectly in the band. And when my brother finally joined the band he was a huge help getting him acclimated to the band."
On releasing his first solo album in his 50 year career - "After completing 5 new songs I was gonna release an ep. Then we started mentioning these old songs that had never really been released. These are really finely crafted performances."

Communication Breakdown was released on April 21st, 2017 via Metal Blade Records. For a preview of Communication Breakdown, the track “Kiefer” can be heard at: metalblade.com/donjamieson.
On That Metal Show ever coming back: "Don't give up hope. We're trying like crazy to find a new home. In fact I just got off the air with Eddie Trunk and we talked about a couple of options for a new home for it. So there's things happeneing."
On whether he's on Paul Stanley's shit list due to his relationship with Eddie Trunk: "Well I'm not blocked on twitter or anything by him, so I think I'm ok. I don't think he gives me a lot of thought to be honest."
On the grand opening of the Ellefson Coffee Shop in Jackson, MN: "We went to the grave of Mary Jane Terwilliger who is supposedly a witch who was supposedly buried alive at the Loon Lake cemetary by her father and that's where Megadeth got the song Mary Jane."
On opening for bands vs. a straight up comedy show: "It's much tougher. I always loved the early days when a comic would open for a band and that was the cool thing. For so long it was not a cool thing. And I'm happy to be one of the few comics in the modern day making it cool again."
On the Hologram Dio: "I saw the clips online. I thought it was good. Obviously as a fan you debate in your head you have mixed feelings about it but, I will go see it. I know the people in Ronnie's camp care and wouldn't let it be done in a crappy way."
On The Big Bang Theory: "We're in the age of nerd humor. And look, I've been a rock n roller my whole life. My favorite comics are Dice, Richard Pryor, George Carlin you know. Guy's who were ground breakers. I'm not watching nerd humor with this goofy, I don't even know what kind of humor. Thank god there's a laugh track because I wouldn't know where to laugh at some of these jokes.”
About Don Jamieson: Is a stand-up comedian and known as one of the hosts of That Metal Show on VH1 Classic. Don and long-time comedy partner, Jim Florentine have a series of prank call CD's, "Terrorizing Telemarketers," which get a lot of airplay on the Howard Stern radio show.

Wilson Frontman has Strict "No Bowling Policy" for Guitarist, Bassist
Minneapolis, MN (July 31st, 2016) - Wilson frontman Chad Nicefield announces his strict "no bowling policy" for his guitarist and bassist, risks of hostels while on European tours, drinking violently and, like all guests of Cobras & Fire, his support to remake the KISS classic Phantom of the Park. Catch Wilson on their fall tour with Sevendust, Crobot and Twelve Foot Ninja that includes the fests High Elevation and Rock Allegiance.
Who is Wilson? They are the best band and export from Detroit since the Stroh's 30 Pack and has earned Cobras & Fire Podcast's mushroom stamp of approval. But don't take it from us. Here's their official press release:
Wilson is not an "internet band". They’re five dudes in a van with beards and big dicks- working harder than your parents. But instead of giving their all as stockbrokers or auto-mechanics or assistant branch managers their job is to destroy your party. Forget debates about the music industry, about download analytics, mp3 singles, and the “charts”. Screw genres. All that has nothing to do with music. But when that Wilson van cruises into your town that shit is REAL. Real MUSIC. Real LIFE. Real LOUD. Real SWEATY. And real FUN.
