Jeremy is still here as Rob is off in Canada to join Alpha Flight. We digress into comics briefly then go right into our interview with Jason Netherton of Misery Index, cofounder of Dying Fetus. Great interview. Not like last week when Josh kept calling ALL the WRONG numbers.

Thanks Josh.

We talked a bit about various Metal Fests, the good, the bad, the weather. We’re gonna be at the Maryland DeathFest, come see us and laugh.

We impromptu called Chris Kontos. Chris friggin rules!!

We tried to call Jeff Becerra, he wasn’t there.

On to the GRAB BAG! But first we call Rob’s voicemail so we can include him in on the grab bag. First up is Roxx pulled by ANGUS! Jeff and Josh met the singer, Joseph D’Angeli. Roxx, well, rocks. Great glamrock for those of you into that. Somehow we went from talking about Roxx to Mark Singer, to the Original V series, to the remake V series to Serenity and space hookers then back to Roxx.

Back to the bag grabbin’

Jeff pulls Orcrist. Yay, Lord of the Rings reference! Josh predicts “Goblin Metal”. Josh doesn’t care for the vocals‚ and might start a section on the website called, “Goblin Metal” where he will rant about things he doesn’t like. Hence forth referring to such things as “Goblin Metal”. Josh launches into the bag and comes up with Morphine Killer. Great music, but the guy has terrible vocals. Josh declares his love for Rob then we address the complaints about the way CDs are reviewed on the show.

One more from the grab bag. Jeremy picks Scheisse Minnelli from the almighty grab bag o’ holding. They had a very early Suicidal Tendencies/Black Flag sound to them.

Jeff suggest that everyone checks out the movie Repo Man.

Josh wanted to mention that it’s almost Valentine’s Day, so check out our sponsor Adam & Eve, adameve.com use the code word METAL to get 50% off almost any one item, 3 FREE DVDs, one special mystery gift and AND FREE SHIPPING on your order.

We learn something disturbing about Josh’s grandmom…

We wrap the show with a discussion of the Conan and Lenno “Late Night Wars” and what famous persons were born the same day as us…make sure you listen‚ it’s riveting.

Episode 38 – The Return of El Gigante

Filed under: Episodes — Tags: Adam & Eve, Angus, Angus Pursglove, black metal, Carpathian Forest, Cormac, Cormac Mccarthy, Dashell Hammet, Death Metal, George R. R. Martin, goth metal, grindcore, hardcore, heavy metal, jeff Rappaport, Jeremy, Josh, Josh Williams, Journey, metal, Metal Rules! Radio, podcast, power metal, Review, Rob, Rob Revell, Robert Fleischman, speed metal, Terry Pratchett, The Maltese Falcon, The Mighty Swine, The Road, thrash metal, Unseen Academicals, Viking metal, Vinnie Vincent Invasion — rob @ 10:55 am

Filling in for Rob this week is none other than JEREMY whist Rob petitions PA Gov. Rendell to make “Steak & BJ Day” a recognized holiday, the long lost Jeremy hath returned. It is discovered that his sea shell collection is complete he has them all. The first call is out to Jason Netherton of Misery Index and co-founder of Dying Fetus. Unfortunately he wasn’t there, so Josh made a separate call to Jason. Little did Josh suspect he was actually calling Robert Fleischman from Journey & The Vinnie Vincent Invasion‚ nothing like being on top of the game right?

Professionalism, thy name is Metal Rules! Radio.

Thankfully Robert Fleischman is a great guy and totally let our mistake pass. While Josh and Jeff try to figure out the lunacy, Angus and Jeremy discuss the newest Terry Pratchett book, “Unseen Academicals“, the George R. R. Martin books, Dashell Hammett’s the Maltese Falcon and Cormac McCarthy’s The Road.

Then Josh and Jeff return. So, basically you can skip the first 11 and a half minutes of the show. At the 11:40 mark we talk to Robert Fleischman.

From there we called Bruce Corbit. He wasn’t there so we left a message.

SO! We get things back on track by catching up with Jeremy. Talk about the NJ Medical Marijuana law that passed, some new “Dimebag” Darrell items were released around Christmas time‚ we mulled who would get the cut of the money and does this constant new releasing of songs, items, etc… detracts the overall image of “Dimebag” Darrell. Much like what was done with John Lennon and the Beatles.

Onto the GRAB BAG!!!

Jeremy pulls from the grab bag first and he comes up with‚ The Mighty Swine . They have a very dated Grunge sound. Angus pulls Carpathian Forest‚ they rocked.

An urgent communique from Rob‚ he texted in the plug for Adam & Eve. Even though Rob isn’t present, he’s still doing the show‚ remote style. With the plug for our sponsor Adam & Eve. To see the awesome details click the ad link in the right sidebar.

We wrap the show and have a good cry.
