Episode 15: What’chu Talkin’ ‘Bout Josh

Jeremy — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 10:00:36 +0000

We start the show off with a rousing tale from Jeff about angel dust and crying. Quickly then to Jeff’s Grab Bag of Metal. Elenium – Caught in a Wheel. Moving onward we, Rob, interviews Edie McClurg (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Hogan Family). Sadly we just had a few tech quirks at that exact time. Jeff’s mic was coming across too hot causing it to break up (we believe) on Edie’s speaker phone. You mostly hear Rob doing the interview. Towards the end we got Jeff’s mic working better. Jeff did all this work to set the interview up and in the end hardly got any questions in. Isn’t technology great? The show took a turn when we heard way too much about his prostate exam. From there we tumble into What’s Wrong with Jeff! Amazingly there’s a lot. He lost his electricity, his router died, his toe is infected and he has a random hive. We wrap the show with an impromptu call to Josh.

Episode 14: I Just Got A Text Message

Jeremy — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 14:00:09 +0000

Welcome to the show—we are sans Josh this evening. We’ve discovered that Josh is on a hunger strike until the show starts getting more reviews on iTunes. We start off with an interview of Metal bassist legend and grandfather, Terry Butler! Terry plays bass in Six Feet Under in case you were wondering. Rob brings up the new Alice in Chains CD. Apparently Layne Staley is dead. From there we jump right into “Jeff’s Grab Bag of Metal”. Anonymous Horses – Neigh! Sayers. Jeff wonders if they were influenced by Horse the Band. Next band up is Simbios – Bounded In Adversity and Naked Mental Violence.

Episode 13: Clubber Lang Bent My Penis

Jeremy — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 23:17:25 +0000

Did you know that you can drink at fully nude strip bars in Canada? Canadians rule! Jeff tells us how he was attacked by a “Wolverine”. There was alcohol involved in the story. Dethklok and The Goon will be teaming up in comic book form! Awesome. Then on to the reviews!! Josh and Angus talk about Probot, Dave Grohl’s project with a bunch of metal guys. Josh hates Led Zepplin. Angus reviews Clutch – Strange Cousins from the West and some how we end up talking about Pantera and Down. Josh and Jeff do their best Phil impressions. Josh brings up Opeth, trying to bring the proverbial ship around to talk about what brought us into Metal. We wrap the show with a rousing round of “What’s Wrong with Jeff?” and Jeremy and Jeff talk about the band Sweet. Friend of the show, Stuart Smith, is in the band Sweet now. He sent in their newest release Live in America for us to sample. Fun fact: Angus watches the Food Network. He says to try his Cheese Cake.

Episode 12: Scumdogs of the Webiverse

Greetings Metal people! We jump right into it with Jeff’s tale from the Warp Tour. He recalled the bands: Under Oath, The Millionaires, Jeffree Star, Therefore Tomorrow, Hit the Lights – who apparently were douches, 3OH!3, and Bad Religion. He missed NOFX for shame.

We have the one, the only, Oderus Urungus! Who is awesome and gave us the best ending ever to any interview! We’d like to thank the great Space Warrior for thawing out to bring destruction to our planet.

We do a review of Stripping the Pistol. We all agreed that the band was great but there was a lack of info to give out about the band. You should definitely check them out.

Episode 11: Midgets of Nok Su Cow

rob — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 13:45:09 +0000

ED sits in for Jeremy while he is on a soul seeking walkabout in Cambodia.

We have news! We pay our respects (sort of) to Midnight from Crimson Glory (You Tube clip of Ski and Mike Gorham) and we learn of Phil from Malevolent Creation’s latest convenient store adventures.

Question for the listeners – is it ok to re-record a hit album 20 years after the original release? Leave us your comments.

Dream Theater has a new CD, Black Clouds and Silver Linings. Angus saw a guy play a stick. Killswitch Engage has a new CD, self titled.

We listen to Machine Dog from the 80’s and compare it to the new Machine Dog (which we also listen to). Then as a REALLY special treat, we listen to Johnny Sin. Strap in kids! We listen to a couple of tracks including staff favorite Big Black Lesbians.

Slayer has a new album coming out – World Painted Blood, and will be playing the Mayhem Festival with Marilyn Manson.

We interview Jason McMaster of Watchtower, Dangerous Toys, and Broken Teeth. He’s an excellent interview, a self proclaimed metal dork, and a friend of the show.

Episode 10: The Fiery Remains

rob — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 00:08:30 +0000

Metal Rules Veteran Ed, aka “Stroke“, sits in for Jeremy who is off on a secret mission in, we believe, Nicaragua.

We interview Bill Leverty, the guitar player for Firehouse. Angus reviews Clutch who he went to see in Atantic City. Shadows Fall was there, so was So I Had To who is Ace of Cakes Duff’s band. Jeff Hates Duff (Sorry Duff, the rest of us think you rule!). Angus talked to a drunk guy at the show, and was picked up by a guy (we swear!) and thrown into the mosh pit. Ed likes Cake.

We listen to Ski’s (of Deadly Blessing) band Faith Factor and review. Faith Factor is a Christian metal band.

We interview Scott Wily of Vital Remains and Zircon, and learn much about Josh’s past. Ed gets slobbered by metal Buck. We learn Josh is not embarrassing…. at all.

Finally we learn all about Ed, and his Buck slobber filled shirt.
