  • Ep. 168 - 1987 - The Year in Metal
    Oct 21 2024

    1987 was the year that the cracks would begin to show in the world of heavy metal and more specifically Glam Metal. But it still had some very good metal music. While one band was on top of the world 2 years earlier and would disband in 1987, one band that formed 2 years earlier went on to have the biggest selling debut of all-time. Some may say the guys are stuck in the 80’s and for this episode, they are as they breakdown 1987. So sit back, relax, turn it up to 11 and let the debate begin.

  • Ep. 166 - Black Sabbath - 13 vs. Heaven and Hell - The Devil You Know
    Sep 9 2024

    In 2006 the former member of the Dio era Black Sabbath reunited as Heaven and Hell and recorded 3 new songs to be included in a Black Sabbath Dio Years compilation. That led to a tour and then a full album. The subsequent tour would be Ronnie’s last as he was diagnosed with stomach cancer shortly thereafter and passed away on May 16, 2010. About a year and half later, the original Black Sabbath convened at the famed Whisky A Go-Go to announce they would be reuniting with plans to record a new album and tour. 13 was released in 2013 and their final tour followed. On this episode, the guys pit the final albums of these two bands careers to see which one we think is the better album. They also give you their BIG 4 Ronnie James Dio Songs. So sit back, relax, turn it up to 11 and let the debate begin.
