Episode 40 – Charred Cherry Pie of the Damned

What do metalrulesradio.com and majorleagueasshole.net have in common? Brian Botley! You may remember him as Hardcore Brian from the zine days. That’s right, he’s back and sexier than ever. And this week he’s sitting in on the show. We start the show off by talking to him for a while. Check out his blog at majorleagueasshole.net, become his fan on facebook, call him and ask him to strip for your bachelorette party, he’s game.

From Botley, we jump into the Grab Bag of Metal and pull out Grindbashers. These guys have been grabbed before, like a good looking goat in a hillbilly bar. BACK TO THE BAG!

Next we pull out Sparzanza who did a pretty good cover of Billy Idol’s Rebel Yell. And finally Botley goes for the hat trick and pulls out The Seed.

Finally we start a REALLY good discussion of submitting music to a show digitally vs. hard copy. But we had to cut this discussion short because we were rudely interrupted by our interview of the night, Richard Christy.

Episode 39 – Aggravated Perineum

Filed under: Episodes — Tags: Angus, Angus Pursglove, Black Flag, black metal, Conan O'Brien, Death Metal, Goblin Metal, goth metal, grindcore, hardcore, heavy metal, Jay Leno, Jeff Beccerra, jeff Rappaport, Jeremy, Josh, Josh Williams, metal, Metal Rules! Radio, Morphine Killer, Music, NJ Batman, Orcrist, podcast, Possessed, power metal, Review, Rob, Rob Revell, Roxx, Scheisse Minnelli, speed metal, Sucicdal Tendencies, thrash metal, Viking metal — rob @ 10:00 am

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.

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.

Amorphis – Silent Waters

Filed under: Jeremy, Reviews — Tags: Amorphis, Jeremy, metal, Nuclear Blast, Review, Silent Waters — Jeremy @ 3:32 pm

Amorphis Silent Waters

Amorphis – Silent Waters
Nuclear Blast Records

This is the second release with singer Tomi Joutsen. First impressions are I liked Eclipse better than this one – but that’s not to say Silent Waters is a bad album. Quite the contrary it’s very good. Amorphis, with Joutsen, have meshed their earlier Death Metal and their later Progressive styles quite nicely. Joutsen does a great job with the guttural death style vocals with flawless switching to clean when the songs call for it. This is what, 10 releases for the band with Skyforger coming in May. I say the band is as strong as ever. I personally feel Eclipse and Silent Waters have the feel of the older Amorphis releases but, whether you tend to lean to their older material or towards their newer, Silent Waters will work for you. It’s a solid album, great music, fantastic vocals. Once again to me, Amorphis doesn’t disappoint.

Amorphis - Silent Waters is available at
Nuclear Blast Records Store
Amazon
iTunes
