BALLS After Dark.168 G'day Bruce

This week on the After Dark it's a classic album special featuring 1982 NWOBHM epic The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden, and amateur 80s metallurgists Adamhfoto and the Doc. Also: Faith in time signatures, you're the voice, talking about Pink Floyd, what exactly IS a classic album, mutual metal interests, garage days revisited, brand new heavies, lineup mythologies, missing links, Metallica starter kits, crazy prog, horizontal tastings, the Beeso is strong in you, playing to your strengths, INFORMATION, the old wave of British heavy metal, anti-Hysteria, why guitar synthesizers are to blame for destroying Great Britain's metal industry of the 1980s, refined palates, angry cartoon robots, screaming for relevance, Ed Force One, some kind of bell end, #humblebrag, tone policing, trust in British Steel and melodic histrionics. Then in an almost inevitable After After Dark: getting lied to, missing the point, Black Hillsong, heavy spoilers for this week's episode of the Dollop, Christian saviours, Conn jobs, All Star reactions, Bogut loves podcasts, old GOATs and Beefy biltong. Next week, Beeso and the Doc get tragic with Blood Red Shoes and are lost in space with the Gentleman's Dub Club.
