We're back this week to (belatedly) celebrate Halloween with some of our favorite scary songs.   This week Aaron and Chris are spinning some of their favorite Scary Songs.

Pantera Discussion with Chad Lee - Ep154

September 15, 2014 02:43 - 1 hour

In the early 1980's a pair of Texas brothers decided to form a band. 30+ years later, they are heavy metal legends. Pantera's rise to the top of the thrash heap happened despite a lack of heavy radio airplay and media hype. Their ascent was due to the power of grassroots word-of-mouth brought on by a legion of loyal fans that are still as fanatical about the band as they were at the end of their run in 2003. Today, we talk to a fan of the band that wound up in the inner-circle.   This week,...

Ace's Covers Contenders - Ep151

August 25, 2014 01:32 - 1 hour

If you’re new to the show, the idea behind this format is simple. We play great songs by great artists that rarely, if ever, get radio play.

Anthrax Discussion Part 1 - Ep143

June 30, 2014 00:23 - 1 hour

Chris and Aaron tend to differ on many of the bands that they like. The dichotomy of those tastes have helped broaden their own musical palette over the course of doing this show. But one band that they both agree on is Anthrax.   This week Chris and Aaron are joined by Mars Attacks and Talking Metal host Victor M. Ruiz for a discussion of the first decade of Anthrax (1981-1992). In this discussion Chris, Aaron, and Victor go through the anthrax discography from their Neil Turbin-fronted de...

Conversation with Chuck Garric - Ep139

June 02, 2014 02:01 - 40 minutes

Chuck Garric is no stranger to large crowds and big tours. His bass duties for such rock and metal legends as Dio, LA Guns, and Alice Cooper have given him quite a resume. But one thing that stays the same after playing in front of millions of people over the years; Chuck Garric is still the same music fan he was as a kid.   When not on tour, Garric resides in Nashville, TN as part of the long line of rockers that have made their way to the Southeastern hotbed of music. On a random weeknigh...

Conversation with Mike Tramp - Ep 136

May 13, 2014 02:48 - 42 minutes

It's been 27 years since White Lion broke through into the public consciousness with 1987's 'Pride' album. Featuring a solid rhythm section of bassist James Lomenzo and drummer Greg D'Angelo joining virtuoso guitarist Vito Bratta, the band was fronted by a platinum blonde singer that not only had the right look for the era but also had a damn good singing voice that would reverberate through arenas across the world during the late 80's glam rock takeover. That singer is Mike Tramp.   The Da...

Bracket Buster - Episode 131

April 07, 2014 00:26 - 1 hour

If you're anywhere near America during this time of year, the term "March Madness" seems to permeate the air. The NCAA basketball tournament becomes the sports centerpiece for the entire month of March and sports and non-sports fans escape into office pools of their own brackets in an attempt to prove their sports knowledge. The musical equivalent of this takes place on (crappy) radio stations across the land; with stations assigning bands in the bracket spots and letting listeners vote on wh...
