0:36
None. What's up everybody?
0:44
It's your boy Keithy. Friday night, another wild and
0:48
wacky week for me, but finally doing the thing, just making
0:52
sure we're good everywhere. I think we're good everywhere,
0:55
but the tick of the talk. I'll get that organized in a
0:58
second, but super glad to be back.
1:01
It's Friday night, I'm down. Got to make this as painless as
1:06
possible. The off the rails what is going
1:09
on islands you hold crazy. Too many puppies.
1:21
Anyway, glad to be back. Hope everybody's tuning in.
1:25
I appreciate y'all. We're going to get through the
1:28
whole week of music coverage. The week that was happy Friday
1:33
the 13th. You know, a date built in
1:38
superstition and prejudice, but not by us.
1:42
So let me just make sure that the ticket is Taco in here and
1:46
then we will continue. It has been a time.
1:54
Let's see how's everybody doing out there.
2:04
It like I said, I hope everybody's OK.
2:06
It has been wild and wackiness kind of couple of weeks for me.
2:11
I'm trying to get back next week to do the show on Thursday as we
2:15
intended because that is the best and that's what we like to
2:22
do. But yesterday I had a secret
2:24
mission, my third in four weeks, where I was not able to do the
2:30
show on Friday. Let's have a liquid death.
2:31
Have a liquid Sierra. What's up Hun?
2:34
My love? Cheers.
2:40
I peeked on. I peeked in on you when you were
2:42
sound asleep. I have a funny story to tell you
2:45
later. And then we'll get dinner when
2:47
I'm done here. But all right, let's do the damn
2:50
thing. Thanks for everybody who's
2:51
watching. I think Don is at a concert.
2:55
He will probably not be tuning in this week, but that's fine.
2:58
Can't. You can't do it.
2:59
It's just like when I played in bands.
3:01
You can't be at every show. It's not humanly possible hope
3:05
everybody likes my George Corp grinder shirt respect the neck
3:11
hilarious. You guys are hilarious.
3:13
But anyway, we only start the show with the announcements.
3:15
We'll get into the tip menu and all the things soon.
3:19
I am live The best experience for this show is as always, Ken
3:22
count and Becky's here. What's up brother and track city
3:26
and yo Moji 418 what up? What up?
3:31
We're usually live on all the things twitch, YouTube,
3:35
Facebook, Instagram and I like hanging out on TikTok respecting
3:42
that bro, respecting that. I didn't get it, put it into the
3:45
show today, but George made his like monthly donation to all the
3:49
kids hospitals and orphanages and dropped like literally a
3:52
U-Haul truck worth of stuffed toys that he gets from playing
3:59
the claw game. He dominates the claw game
4:01
wherever he goes. So who says that Death Metal
4:07
doesn't have a heart? They lied to you.
4:11
They lied to you. But anyway, it's Friday night,
4:13
normally not our regular time to go on.
4:15
And like I said, hopefully next week I get back on schedule.
4:19
Reminder if you're in the LA area or within striking distance
4:22
of traveling to LA in May, we are giving away a pair of
4:25
tickets to see Echo and the Bunnymen at the legendary Greek
4:29
Theatre, the band I grew up listening to.
4:33
It's super cool. We partnered with Golden Voice
4:36
to bring you this ticket giveaway.
4:38
We have another giveaway next week or a vinyl giveaway, which
4:43
is super cool. We just wrapped up our giveaway
4:46
on a big pile of books. I notified the winners waiting
4:49
to get a response, and then we have more stuff to do in
4:53
giveaway this spring. So I'm really excited about all
4:56
these things. We usually start the news with
4:59
some sad news. This one was a heartbreaker.
5:01
Christina Cavallera, the daughter of Max and Gloria
5:05
Cavallera, passed away after an illness this week.
5:08
She was her in her own right, a music industry legend.
5:11
She started out her career working with her famous mom and
5:14
dad and being a tour manager for Soulfly when they launched that
5:18
band in 1998. And she went on to work in the
5:23
business for a long time all over the world.
5:25
And just very sad. She herself had a life that was
5:28
kind of, you know, unfortunately had some tragedy in it.
5:34
She had lost two of her four children to infant deaths.
5:38
And obviously her brother Dana died when she was very young
5:42
also. And it's a really tough time.
5:45
We love the Cavaliers here. I have interviewed Max Cavalero
5:48
more than any other artist in 20 years of doing music journalism.
5:52
And so I'm always very sad. And when somebody good passes
5:56
away. What's up death rattle?
6:00
Grandfather Dan? I mean, like, OK, I guess Then,
6:05
you know, again, you have to earn your own stripes, even if
6:09
you got a family name and wealth.
6:11
She certainly didn't come from Bunny.
6:13
But, you know, I met her once and she was super nice, and
6:18
everything I ever heard about her was positive.
6:20
What's up? Death rattle?
6:22
OK, you know, some people are, you know, even if you a lot of
6:26
people are born with a silver spoon and they put heroin in
6:29
that spoon and shoot it into their arm.
6:31
She didn't. So, you know, just my two cents.
6:38
What do I know? Dillinger Compound is here.
6:42
What's up? Late night Kifi on a Friday.
6:44
Thanks, Dillinger for always being a real 1.
6:48
This was another sad one this week.
6:52
Here, let me get big in this. Andrew Rankin, who is the
6:56
original drummer of The Pogues, died.
6:59
Seems like there's a version of The Pogues.
7:01
I guess they have been playing for a few years.
7:05
But yeah, Andrew passed away. Very sad.
7:09
Also, Dave Alexander, who was the original bassist of Iggy and
7:13
the Stooges, died. You know, we were talking about
7:16
this last week with these major illnesses.
7:19
A lot of our heroes are leaving us, which really sucks, you
7:25
know? Again, also, Greg Brown, the
7:27
original guitar player of Cake died last weekend.
7:30
Kind of got overshadowed by everything else.
7:32
But if you like the band Cake, that's a band for you. 4
7:38
Dillinger shows in Europe announced today.
7:40
Amazing. I did not know that today was
7:44
kind of a drowned in my inbox day.
7:48
Also in the pop culture world, Bud Court, you definitely know
7:52
his many roles, but most notably Harold and Maude, the cult
7:55
favorite. Oh, Brixton Academy.
7:58
That's one of my bucket list places to go.
8:01
Hopefully England in 2027. We'll see how it goes.
8:06
I'd like to get there, but Bud Court rest in power.
8:10
Don't know the details of his passing, but I'm very sad to
8:13
hear that. And yeah, maybe I need to give.
8:16
Harold and Maude was never a movie that was like, held a lot
8:19
of sway with me. But maybe I need to give it
8:22
another try. Tell me what you think out
8:25
there. If you're Harold and Maude fans.
8:26
I know Melissa is, but you know anybody else?
8:29
If you love Harold and Maude, tell me, and not notably to
8:33
anybody else that's not a New York Giants football fan but a
8:36
footnote in our history. Ray Hanley died.
8:39
Ray Hanley had the misfortune of following Bill Parcells as the
8:43
coach of the Giants from 1991 to 1992.
8:47
He coached two seasons. He got the job because Bill
8:49
Belichick turned down the Giants job because he didn't want to
8:52
follow ourselves. He saw the Giants probably
8:55
coming apart a little bit as a team, barely making it in,
8:59
winning that Super Bowl. And Bill went to go coach the
9:02
Cleveland Browns, which he was terrible at, by the way, before
9:06
he went to the Patriots in his epic run, his eventual Hall of
9:10
Fame run, and Ray Hanley had been like a member of Mensa.
9:14
He went to Stanford, where he was running back.
9:17
He used to do like complex calculus in his head for fun.
9:24
He would have loved Wordle, but he died recently.
9:28
Obviously, the Giants were terrible for a couple of years,
9:30
underachieving, we'll say, not a playoff team in 91 to 92.
9:34
But anyhow, rest in peace. Ray Henley celebrating birthdays
9:39
this week, the great Henry Rollins of Rollins Band and
9:43
Black Flag and all the things Rollins, you know, it continues
9:48
to be an interesting enigma. He did an interview with Tom
9:51
Green. I need to kind of do some news
9:53
around this really quick. He did an interview on the Tom
9:55
Green's new web show, and he talked about how once in a while
10:00
he misses getting on stage and yelling into a mic and doing
10:04
hardcore metal. But the problem is that he
10:07
didn't ever want to become kind of a jukebox of ria lounge.
10:11
That what he considers to be like artists going out and only
10:14
doing the hits. Rollins feels like that's in
10:17
genuine. Hey, Curtis is here for a
10:19
minute. What's up, Robert Rango is here
10:22
just talking about the the weekly live stream.
10:24
Brother, Good to see you. So Rollins celebrated a birthday
10:30
today. Curmudgeonly and old sometimes
10:33
misses being in a band. Mostly not.
10:36
Peter Hook of New Order and Joy Division and Peter Hook and the
10:41
Light had a birthday this week. This is an older picture of him
10:45
when he was younger. Also, celebrate your birthday.
10:49
This kind of makes me sad. John Williams, the great
10:53
composer of every theme song you love from classical music and
10:58
movies, celebrated a birthday. This we've got pickies 93 or 94.
11:03
This is him, Joseph Williams. In the picture there is his son
11:07
who's the singer of Toto and has been for a long time.
11:12
I think he would make a very good singer for Journey if
11:14
Arnell can figure it out. Also celebrating a birthday this
11:17
week is one of my favorite singers ever.
11:19
San Francisco's own Mark Ossigeda of Death Angel and
11:23
Carrie King and the wedding band with Kirk Hammett and a bunch of
11:27
other things. Fun stuff.
11:29
Oh oh look, a cunt. I don't know if you're in
11:33
America, it's so rough here right now, but you know,
11:37
watching Pam Bondi eat complete shit while lying her face off in
11:42
front of Congress was pretty amazing.
11:44
She not only doesn't is not qualified for her station, she
11:47
doesn't understand the law in America, of which she is the
11:51
senior most legal authority in American history in terms of the
11:56
position, you know, not not the Supreme Court, but actually the
12:00
attorney general. Wild shit is wild.
12:08
Anyway, moving right along. You know I would do this for
12:14
free and I do do this mostly for free.
12:16
Ghost code. We do have some advertising on
12:18
our website, but we do accept tips.
12:20
The best way to tip us is via Super like or Super Thanks on
12:25
our YouTube Ghost Cult mag. But we have a Ghost Cult Live
12:31
YouTube now as well as my personal YouTube that I'm going
12:34
to start doing some fun things with behind the scenes karaoke,
12:38
jams, Maybe some of my band stuff will live there.
12:42
We update our link tree every day.
12:43
We do this mostly, you know, we're trying to earn a wage
12:47
doing this, but it's really hard.
12:49
It's mostly a volunteer operation heading into our 14th
12:52
year and but yeah, if you're feeling tipsy, shoot us a tip.
12:55
We also take Cash App, Venmo, Kofi, all Echo's, code bag,
13:01
PayPal, all the things. There's our cash app if you want
13:05
to check it out. OK, it's time for the news
13:06
rundown. And as always, when we do the
13:09
news rundown, we discuss metal festivals and there was a lot of
13:14
them announced this week. So let's Jim on it.
13:17
But first, the features. Sorry, news rundown.
13:19
Next features. Now, I should probably do a
13:22
rundown of the itinerary of every show, right?
13:25
A couple of big ones this week. Mark Menge.
13:27
We've been doing a lot of stuff with Metal Allegiance, but Mark
13:30
is also the founder and brain, you know, the mastermind, the
13:33
brain power behind King Ultra Mega, which is the Soundgarden
13:37
tributes you've been seeing rolled out the last year out on
13:41
Rain and Phoenix Music. Right in time for Curtis to
13:43
probably not miss this mention, but Pretty Predo is here.
13:48
What's up, buddy? So yeah, Mark Menge, he's
13:52
brilliant bass player. I saw him at Metal Allegiance
13:56
last month. Play Cliff Burton's bass from
13:58
Day on the Green. He's an incredible bassist and
14:03
King Ultra Mega is awesome. They're working their way up to
14:06
a full album release and all the things, but meanwhile, one song
14:10
at a time, this is pretty amazing.
14:12
I saw the debut live of King Ultra Mega with Elisa White
14:17
Goose, formerly of Arch Enemy. Got some March Enemy news in a
14:19
minute talking about, you know, doing the day.
14:23
I tried to live it. It was incredible.
14:25
It was incredible. Also, I interviewed 84 Days.
14:30
If you haven't heard of 84 Days, they are a punk rock group
14:34
made-up of Randy Bradbury of Penny Wise and Cameron Webb.
14:38
Cameron Webb is the Super producer of Motörhead and Social
14:41
Distortion and every big metal core and pop punk band and so
14:46
they have a super group. They also have Tony from No
14:49
Doubt on drums and guitar player from The Vandals contributing.
14:53
And it's a pretty bad ass pop punk and hardcore record.
14:58
And it's basically songs that Randy had that were not
15:00
appropriate for. It was like, this doesn't sound
15:02
like Pennywise. Let me put this out.
15:05
So this is, you know, kind of a solo vehicle for Randy.
15:08
But it was really awesome. I interviewed both Randy and
15:10
Cameron, and Cameron is very, you know, was like, I'll chat
15:14
with you next time about production stuff.
15:15
So I would love to really talk to him again and drill down and
15:21
drill down with him and talk more production things.
15:24
So yeah, real good. Also also also also let's see
15:33
features. Also, just to kick catch you up
15:36
in case you missed it, I recently interviewed David Jay,
15:39
formerly of Bauhaus and Love and Rockets about his new anti ice
15:43
single. This is him here with Shepard
15:45
Fairey on their collab poster. He also worked with Seattle
15:49
artist Tomo 77 who's artwork and graffiti is all around town.
15:55
I also interviewed Nicholas, Nicholas Moriarty and Nicolas
15:58
Cage fighter. Is anybody else excited to see
16:01
Nicolas Cage and the live action Spider Noir thing on Amazon?
16:07
I'm so pumped for this. I love comic book nerd shit and
16:10
I'm really excited. He was so good in the 2 animated
16:14
Spider Man movies as Spider Noir.
16:18
Glacier Musical podcast wraps up our series this weekend on Dio
16:22
with Dream Evil. Diminishing returns in the Dio
16:25
solo career, but super interesting and fun to chop it
16:28
up with Don De Lamont and of course the host Nick Cameron.
16:33
Really, really fun series on Theo.
16:35
Our next series is on Megadeth. Next week we're going to do a
16:39
chaser episode, so the beer during the week.
16:42
This regular series said that a chaser and the chaser is going
16:44
to be on Record Store Day where we deep dive the entire catalog
16:49
of Record Store Day and talk about what our buy lists will be
16:52
and what they will not be. And then I think I will do a
16:55
metal and rock centric only Record Store Day preview and
17:01
post mortem. And a reminder, Ghost Cold Mank
17:06
has a podcast. This show will be a podcast.
17:09
You can check us out wherever you listen to podcasts.
17:14
I came, I saw, I forgot what I was doing.
17:16
I went back, I got distracted. I have no idea what's going on.
17:18
Is this my cup? I have to pee.
17:20
This is how my brain works on ADHDI.
17:23
Only took one Ritalin today. I probably should have took two.
17:26
But anyway, now it's time for the news rundown and now we will
17:34
talk about metal festivals. This is a lot of fun.
17:38
I'm having a good time. Like like Wayne's World, I'm
17:43
having fun. Tomas passed by, Joe passed by
17:48
and Mike passed by on the good old TikTok.
17:58
How it feels entering the festival, how it feels leaving.
18:01
I believe the Revenant is getting a re release right for
18:05
is it 10 years or any? Oh my God that is insane.
18:09
And just a quick reminder, if you follow us we will follow you
18:13
back when this show is over. Warm Tour continues to add
18:17
bands. If this is a thing for you,
18:21
definitely check it out. Their socials is the place to
18:23
keep it locked when the whole lineup is complete for each
18:27
date. We will break it down, but it
18:30
does seem kind of hard to do when they're adding like, you
18:36
know, 5 to 10 bands every day. It's a little difficult to, you
18:39
know, kind of kind of get it in there.
18:42
But anyway, let us see, let us see.
18:46
Mojave experiences coming up March 20th to 21st.
18:49
I will be there looking forward to it.
18:51
Earthless and Dead Meadow headlining.
18:54
Also Milwaukee Metal Fest applied to go cover this acid
18:58
bath, Kill switch, Engage ministry on a whole bunch of
19:01
other killer bands that I love. So I'm really pumped for it,
19:04
including Death Angel doing Act 3, which is awesome because I
19:07
missed that this just got the complete line up.
19:10
This is camp punk Sylvania celebrating 15 years body count,
19:14
pump up and face to face a Wilhelm screen Co defendants,
19:19
pink shift. We've interviewed all those
19:20
bands, Bad Cop, Bad Cop and a whole bunch of others in
19:24
Pennsylvania right near the Poconos, Takedown Fest got
19:29
announced this week. Phil Campbell and the Bastard
19:31
Sons, the Wild Hearts President and Grand Magus and a bunch of
19:38
other bands we like. In the UK, Blood Stock has
19:42
announced their their is it their third official winter
19:45
gathering? But they're second in a row.
19:47
Headline by Rotting Christ. We covered Rotting Christ at the
19:50
Parthenon doing their 35th anniversary set last year.
19:55
So they're still continuing to do the 35 years of Roddy Christ.
19:58
And I think they're probably going to call it a day when
20:00
that's over. But this looks really cool.
20:03
With Sorrow, that's a really good man.
20:05
Pest Control. Fun name.
20:07
So yeah, fun. I wonder if they'll add a few
20:09
more bands, but we covered that this year.
20:11
Our guy Bill Moundsley in the UK.
20:13
We've got a few UK people coming on now to do more stuff when we
20:17
cover more live things. Bottle Rock is already sold out
20:19
of Saturday tickets. I'm not attending this this year
20:24
but I hope to go back in a future year.
20:26
Was a lot of fun last year. Also reminder prepare the
20:29
ground. Basically the North American Rd.
20:32
burn is taking place in late May Decibel Metal and Beer Fest
20:39
takes place in early May. Power Trip.
20:40
Municipal Waste. Kyle, Lisa Kromix, Kryptopsy
20:43
looks pretty badass. Money Roots just announced their
20:48
whole lineup last week, and now they've announced they will do a
20:51
Brazil edition this year as well as a Europe edition, so that's
20:56
pretty fun. Revolution Calling This is a
21:01
punk rock festival in Europe headlined by Cox Bar on their
21:05
farewell tour, Blood for Blood, Kickback Foundation, Youth of
21:09
Today, Alone in a Crowd, Hope Conspiracy, Project X Propane
21:14
Propane just signed a Napalm Records for a new record.
21:16
That's really exciting. So I look forward to hopefully
21:19
getting an interview with those guys.
21:21
Nick Cameron of Glacial Musical is a huge Propane fan.
21:26
Road to Ruin is here. What's up?
21:27
What's up? Good to see you.
21:28
Thanks for being here. Much appreciated.
21:33
All righty. Let's see.
21:35
What else? What else?
21:36
What else? Monsters Rock cruises down some
21:38
pre party with yesterday and today.
21:40
Madam X shot of Poison. I think that's like a Poison
21:44
tribute band maybe with former members of Poison, Pretty Boy
21:48
Floyd and more and Soto and Beeler, which is Jeff Scott,
21:55
Soto and Beeler, who we interviewed recently, Jason
21:59
Beeler Forever. Jeff Vesta is coming back with
22:03
Young Widows and Atomic Cult. This looks pretty killer.
22:06
And Avondale Music Hall Pig Destroyer is on Day 2.
22:11
That was all the festivals for to come.
22:17
Tommy Benson, you're funny. Anyway, so in concerts this
22:25
week, big news out of Turkey. Turkey has canceled an upcoming
22:31
concert from the European Tour with Behemoth and Slaughter to
22:34
Prevail because of questionable morals.
22:39
Obviously. Behemoth is the overtly satanic,
22:42
formerly black metal band that is basically now a theatrical
22:45
death metal band. Slaughter to Prevail I'm not a
22:48
big fan of because I feel like bands have been doing what's
22:51
Letter to Prevail does for decades.
22:54
They're just kind of the hot thing right now.
22:56
I don't think they're that great myself, but banned from Turkey.
23:00
And then Nergal came out and was like, of course, we were banned
23:03
by the puritanical people of, you know, the government of
23:06
Turkey. This that the other thing.
23:08
So this is a wonderful Photo by Rich Price Photography.
23:12
Rich used to shoot for us in the UK for a long time, and then he
23:15
stepped out to do other things. But this is a gorgeous photo.
23:24
Not to be outdone, Pantera just booked an arena show in Turkey.
23:29
I don't know, Pantera has a lot of songs about Satanism and drug
23:32
use and we and whiskey, but somehow you know.
23:37
Pantera is playing kind of off dates from their Metallica
23:40
summer tour headline dates across Europe.
23:43
So wild. Nothing else booked after this
23:47
for Pantera. We'll see what happens.
23:49
Down is heating up, We'll talk about that.
23:51
The Church, I don't know if you're a fan of the church.
23:53
I saw the church last year with Afghan Whigs and they were
23:56
marvelous. They had an incredible record
23:58
out in 2024. They are touring the Singles
24:01
1980, the 2025 N American tour coming in June.
24:06
I wouldn't mind going to see them again.
24:08
They were wonderful. This is a bluegrass and folk
24:13
play, The Porch on a Windy Hill, a new play with old music taking
24:16
place in New York City, and our own.
24:20
Omar Cordy took in the opening night show and wrote a review of
24:23
it. I didn't think that this kind of
24:24
music was in his wheelhouse, but he really enjoyed it, so might
24:28
be worth checking out. I don't.
24:33
Decapitation, Bruja and No Cure tour coming up soon.
24:38
Ghost is winding down their current leg of the USA Skeletor.
24:46
This is their second full length American tour supporting their
24:50
Skeletor album of last year, the Ghost Co Album of the Year.
24:54
Much to everybody chagrin. Even though I thought it was
24:57
awesome and did get the most votes from our staff across the
25:01
world was a very close vote. Crowbar face Fuck off is here.
25:06
What's up? Good to see you.
25:09
So yeah, Ghost dropped a new video today in time for
25:13
Valentine's Day. It was very goth and romantic
25:16
for the song Umbra and it's I know a Ghost.
25:19
Not hearing too many people complain about the phone list
25:22
shows like they were a while back.
25:25
Wrong has some other tour dates coming up in Europe's.
25:29
They're celebrating their 31 years of cleansing with an
25:32
occasional show this year, as well as their live album that's
25:36
coming out. Trying to get my hands on one of
25:38
those. Maybe we'll catch up with our
25:39
good buddy Tommy Victor again, a guy who yelled at me once at CBG
25:44
VS back in the 90s. Cancel Rat has announced some
25:50
additional shows on the off dates from the Amman Clock tour.
25:54
That's Amanomark and Death Clock.
26:00
WADA and Mortis are doing the tour.
26:05
Pretty cool. WADA acoustic black metal
26:08
record. Kind of the same vibe as Zaster
26:10
or Panopticon, who people know that I love.
26:15
Dillinger says. I guess the Lemon Heads are
26:18
done. I guess Evan Dando is a prick.
26:21
We were talking about that earlier today.
26:22
Evan Dando is a prick. I was a big Lemon Heads fan.
26:27
I love It's a shame about Ray. And I love Boston punk.
26:32
And they were, you know, he was a good looking dude and goofy
26:35
and self aware and they were a fun little band.
26:38
And then he's like literally ruining his career with, you
26:41
know, swears up and down he's not on drugs, but he has very
26:44
druggy behavior, which I don't like.
26:46
Jaybird is here. What up Jaybird, a trainee was
26:51
added some additional spring headline shows around their
26:54
other tour already announced with Seven Dust that begins
26:57
soon. Fire from the gods, now fronted
27:00
by Mike C Town from formerly of What is it Bury You Dead and a
27:09
few other bands is now the singer of Fire from the gods
27:12
since Channer went solo. AJ Channer Massive Wagons, which
27:17
is kind of one of the the UK clutch who's a band ghost called
27:20
Love's is the Everywhere We Go UK tour coming soon in April.
27:25
You can always tell the European and Europe tour dates because
27:29
the dates are backwards from America.
27:30
Ha ha ha. The Aside and Cal the Capitation
27:34
Co headline tour coming up soon. Kind of fun.
27:37
The Black Keys. I don't know if this is a band
27:39
for you, but The Black Keys have announced a world tour.
27:43
I know they were kind of cancelled some tour dates in the
27:46
last few years saying that they were not, you know, economically
27:50
viable. So I wonder if they're going to
27:52
play smaller venues and do you know residency type things
27:57
instead of those things. John 5 has announced the
28:02
European headline tour. Always go see John 5.
28:05
Super fun. If you love guitar nerd shit.
28:07
His VI PS are awesome. He gives a lot of time, he talks
28:11
to people, takes photos with you, not next to you or behind
28:14
you. He gives merch, guitar picks.
28:17
I love John 5, he's great and he always puts on a fun show.
28:21
Kind of like a Rob Zombie light if you will.
28:27
Adelita's Way is a band we've interviewed a while back from
28:30
Las Vegas. They are starting to ramp up the
28:32
tour machine again. I know they had a record last
28:35
year that kind of came and went, but it was solid.
28:38
Good band. Grave Huffer, friend of the
28:40
show. Neanderthals Rise, 2026 show
28:43
dates. They are from Missouri.
28:48
Looks like they have Kansas City, Colorado Springs, Denver,
28:51
Salt Lake City, Vegas, Albuquerque, Albuquerque,
28:56
Oklahoma City, KC, Joplin and a few others, so maybe we'll catch
29:00
that tour. All them witches are going to
29:04
tour with King Buffalo. This looks like the Southeast
29:11
and the Midwest. That looks that's a great tour
29:15
corner. Last few dates coming up this
29:17
week. I just saw them in Berkeley and
29:20
I just want to wrap for a second some real talk to my besties out
29:24
here. Like if you love bands, you have
29:27
to go see them. Especially rock and metal music
29:30
is outside our music. We've learned that it's not
29:33
really for everybody. We're never going to be fully
29:36
accepted and loved. And the reality is that artists
29:39
don't make money except when they sell merchants shows of
29:42
which they're already getting kind of ripped off by the
29:43
venues, and they need you to show up and go see them so they
29:48
will come back again. A lot of people say to me, look,
29:51
I didn't know this band was coming on tour.
29:53
Well, there's a show every week where I talk about all the tours
29:55
that got announced. There's posters with the tour
29:58
dates. You can pause and copy down your
30:00
date or go to gosculptbank.com and find those things.
30:03
But like I saw a fully packed, almost sold out room.
30:07
It's only like 250 people but packed on a Tuesday and I was
30:12
actually late to the show and it was wall to wall people and I
30:15
had to navigate through the crowd to get to merch.
30:18
And I was really, I was not annoyed.
30:19
I was happy. I was like, I'm so glad this
30:21
show is packed now. Coroner hasn't toured much since
30:24
they reunited. They did a tour in the last
30:26
couple of years. They played Barrel with Death
30:28
Fest. I missed them.
30:29
This is the first time I have ever seen this band I have been
30:33
a fan of since high school or Community College so it was
30:37
really amazing. They were great.
30:40
They Heathen opened one of my favorite bands.
30:42
Missed the beginning but caught most of their set.
30:43
Love them. Hometown show for Heathen.
30:47
Go see these bands when they come to your town and don't
30:49
complain if they don't come back again and you don't go see them.
30:53
Soapbox off I hate God. Has it added a fall UK tour?
31:06
They're already on tour all spring with Crowbar.
31:09
Wait is going to open an intercourse?
31:13
Kind of fun band. Hard to Google, but fun maybe I
31:17
Hate God is going to announce a new album.
31:19
I'm on Clock tour. Just a reminder, we should be
31:21
covering this Among the Mark and Death Clock with support from
31:24
Castle Rat. Roddy Bottoms book tour wraps up
31:28
next week. I would love to see him do a
31:31
reading. He already did San Francisco and
31:33
I missed it. It was sold out.
31:36
Queen's right? Had to cancel a few dates this
31:38
week due to illness. I don't know if it was Jeff that
31:41
was personally unwell, but they have rebooked the dates they had
31:45
to cancel, so that's nice. I know Jeff has promised an off
31:49
an operation. Mind crying three at some point.
31:52
Do we need this metal bait at 87?
31:57
And Jennifer Walker LV has passed by.
32:00
Nice to see you. Appreciate you appreciate you.
32:06
So I think that's that all right just a reminder about the tip
32:09
menu. If you're feeling tipsy, please
32:11
drop us a tip. We appreciate it.
32:15
We are going to do membership soon.
32:16
I know I keep promising that quick word from our affiliate
32:19
partner Fable beard. Look at this awesome beard.
32:23
I smell great that this is I was saying today to my girlfriend.
32:27
This is the best my beard has ever done.
32:30
I've got this holiday scent, the Reef Wrangler that smells like a
32:34
just gorgeous. And then there's also the
32:37
villager, which is also excellent.
32:38
They also have non scented bombs and beard products in case
32:43
someone in your life is sensitive to smells that come in
32:46
these cool droppers that come in beautiful packaging.
32:50
They're like based on D&D characters, right?
32:53
Which is, you know, right up my nerd ass alley.
32:55
I haven't really played D&D in since high school, but I respect
32:59
everybody that is in the in the hustle that's a dungeon master.
33:03
So I put a little beard oil on my comb and then just brush it
33:07
in like so. Smells great, feels great, no
33:13
dandruff, great healthy beard, doesn't irritate my extremely
33:17
sensitive skin. All natural ingredients, no
33:22
additives or BS Amazing stuff. Fable Beard if you want to hook
33:26

33:40
And when you see ads at ghostcultman.com, that's from
33:45
the Lamb Goat Media Network. Lamb Goat, the much meaner
33:48
version of Ghost Cult. I'd like to say they are our
33:51
friends. Also shout out to my homie and
33:55

34:01
with your WordPress and digital strategy needs.
34:06
And of course, we're streaming everywhere but TikTok on Stream
34:08
Yard. If you want to stream like we
34:11
do, use Stream Yard. Denise passed by.
34:16
She's one of our top viewers on TikTok.
34:17
Thanks, Denise. I really appreciate you.
34:21
All right, we're on all the things.
34:23
Twitch threads, blue sky, Reddit, Discord, all the things.
34:29
So let's run down the news. There are some major, major
34:34
things going on in the world of rock and metal this week.
34:40
First, first and foremost, let's talk about Kurt Cobain.
34:45
An independent body of forensic scientists looked at all the
34:51
evidence of Kurt Cobain suicide and our attempt.
34:55
They're alleging this is not their findings say that the
35:00
results are not conclusive with suicide.
35:03
I think this is insane. And, you know, I think it's
35:12
pretty insane to open up a case that is closed 30 years ago this
35:16
year, 32 years ago and say, like, Cobain didn't kill
35:21
himself. Epstein didn't kill himself.
35:24
Kurt Cobain definitely did, in my opinion.
35:27
Have you ever met junkies? The notion, you know, Courtney
35:31
has been fighting this thing. Courtney Love has been fighting
35:33
this thing as it is. She was a woman in punk rock.
35:36
She was a, she helped start riot girl and she's had a deal with
35:41
the people shitting on her for 30 years.
35:43
She loved Kurt. She definitely didn't kill him.
35:46
That's insane. I've met Dylan Carlson, I've
35:50
interviewed him, I've spent time around him.
35:52
This guy has like one brain cell left after he fried himself in
35:55
the 80s. So they claim that the, you
36:02
know, certain things are not adding up, but it's very, you
36:05
know, it's not very conclusive. I would say from what I read.
36:09
Maybe I'll do a video on it next week.
36:11
Maybe I'll do a poll over the weekend and see if people want
36:13
me to actually do a whole episode.
36:15
But I wasn't quick to like, I know people jump on this for
36:18
clicks and I didn't, and I'm probably dumb and I probably
36:21
should have, but I didn't. Yeah, I don't.
36:24
I didn't really. What I read didn't look like
36:26
conclusive evidence to me. But, you know, what do I know?
36:31
I don't think he killed himself. Yes, I Dillinger, these aren't
36:35
Yes, you watched it. Yes, yes, I, I'm saying that I
36:40
read the I read, I read the report.
36:44
I, I didn't skim it. I read it.
36:46
I took some notes in case I was going to do a show on it, a live
36:50
stream. There are some things again
36:55
that, you know, maybe look questionable, but none of this
36:59
is new. This was all all the same stuff
37:02
was considered at the time of his death and you have to like
37:07
to have them reopen. The case is for the Seattle
37:11
Medical examiner and Sheriff's Office to admit failure and say
37:15
they got it wrong. I know yes in the 10 individual
37:24
accredited medical people, but what is their purpose in doing
37:28
this? Because they love Kurt Cobain
37:30
and they hate Courtney Because they want to see justice done.
37:34
I, I don't know, it seems like they have a lot to gain.
37:37
If the case is reopened, you know, celebrated celebrity death
37:42
will get opened up again. And, you know, that's just my,
37:50
that's just my thing, you know, my two cents.
37:55
But I, I, I like a lot of conspiracy theories.
37:58
I liked a lot of conspiracy theories back like in the day.
38:01
Not now, Arch Enemy. Holy shit.
38:05
Just a couple of months after Elisa White Goose left Arch
38:11
Enemy under very mysterious circumstances, both the current
38:15
members of the band and Angela Gasol shared the same social
38:19
media post. It's basically they only want
38:23
justice. All right, Dillinger, I'm with
38:25
you, bro. Angela is possibly rejoining
38:31
March Enemy. Before we get too carried away,
38:34
I want to say that it is the anniversary of Burning Bridges
38:40
and so I don't know if this is just a ploy to get people hyped
38:43
for an anniversary release. I know that Michael and Chris's
38:47
dad passed away last year and Michael had talked about doing
38:51
the solo record, which he's worked on, and maybe not doing
38:54
March Enemy. But I would say that I think
38:56
it's a very fair bet that there's a lot of money in like
39:02
Arch Enemy with Angela doing like festivals in Europe.
39:06
You know, I know a couple of people pointed out that she was
39:08
struggling with her voice when she dropped out of the entire
39:11
music business. She's done a couple of features
39:13
here and there. But touring after you've been
39:16
out of the game for, you know, 1213 years, 14 years is a lot.
39:21
You know, at the same time, would I love to see it?
39:24
Of course I would. I, I believe something will get
39:28
announced soon, but this broke the Internet.
39:31
Our site went down from all the traffic surge, social media
39:35
posted that, you know, gangbusters.
39:37
So people are apparently very into this.
39:39
And of course, I think there's a thing happening.
39:41
Somebody jumped in my comments and was like, she wasn't their
39:44
first singer. And I've never said she was
39:46
their first singer because I know, I've seen, I, I know John
39:49
Livia, Johan Livia and I know, you know, black earth and all
39:53
that. And they did the black art tour
39:54
a while back. I think when people see like
39:57
misinformation, it just triggers their brain and they just start
40:01
assuming that we all cut because of there's a, a phenomenon in,
40:04
in journalism, which again, a lot of my brethren are not
40:08
journalists, but there's a phenomenon called sameness of
40:11
news. And that's like, on one hand, if
40:14
everybody has the same news, we all become kind of numb to it.
40:17
And on the second hand, if you don't have the same news
40:21
everybody else has, you look like, why aren't, why don't you
40:24
have this? So even when I have broken
40:26
stories, uncovered stuff. Discovered things, found out
40:31
things, been given tips that were valid.
40:34
People are like, well I didn't see it anywhere else so you must
40:38
be full of shit. Well no, because the Internet is
40:40
full of shit and Facebook is full of shit.
40:43
You know, I saw something today that like Rob Halford is going
40:47
to do a 10 part Netflix series on gay metalheads.
40:50
He's not like don't believe if it sounds too fantastical, it is
40:55
100% not real. But anyway, Arch enemy.
40:58
I'm excited to see what this turns out to be.
41:00
Keep it to keep it tuned to Ghost Cult.
41:02
We will immediately tell you what the deal is as soon as we
41:05
know. Beyond this social media teaser
41:10
Nevermore, this is a big thing we are waiting for.
41:12
I was surprised it happened so soon, but they have their debut
41:16
show in April, so they announced who the lineup was and it's 3
41:20
nondescript unknown guys. I know people were unhappy about
41:25
the announcement that didn't tell us who they were.
41:27
Tell us some stuff about them. But I have assurances from the
41:30
publicist at Rating Phoenix Music.
41:32
They will be doing a drip campaign where you learn about
41:34
each guy leading up to the show and they're going to, you know,
41:38
maybe they're going to do some new music.
41:39
They're definitely going to do this tour and get their feet wet
41:42
again. They've been rehearsing.
41:43
Ola Anglin directed the documentary, took this
41:46
photograph. I think it's kind of cool fun
41:53
times, all right, Bad Bunny and Kid Rock, whatever you want to
41:59
say, whichever halftime show you watch.
42:01
I watched the bad Bunny 1 and I thought it was amazing and
42:04
wholesome almost and you know, beautifully done and very in
42:09
depth. Go watch new rock stars
42:10
breakdown of the Super Bowl halftime show if you really want
42:14
to get an in depth understanding of of what that entire thing was
42:17
about. But we'll say the fallout from
42:21
Kid Rock's, you know, whether it's a failure or not is not for
42:24
me to say. I think it was.
42:25
But the the fallout is that his Rock the country concert tours
42:31
are now losing shows by the day. There was some discussion about
42:37
whether he lip synched or not or whether he was syncing his live
42:40
vocals to backing tracks. Sure it was not live.
42:45
Bad Bunny's performance was performed live but the audio
42:49
track was all pre recorded. So but here you know just like
42:55
bands dropping off the rock the country thing, multiple dates
42:59
being cancelled. Even at the thing he was like he
43:03
was putting on a show and like even the people that were live
43:05
in the studio which was very few because it was a televised
43:08
stream thing so it wasn't meant to have a big audience or they
43:12
should have thought about that. He cursed into the mic at the
43:15
end of it like fuck this shit. So like clearly he didn't go the
43:18
way he thought it was going to go.
43:22
But anyway, I love watching like white people with nice hair on
43:27
conservative television turn themselves inside out about how
43:31
UN American and unpatriotic bad Bunny show was when it was
43:34
absolutely American because Puerto Rico.
43:37
Puerto Ricans are Americans. Puerto Rico is in America should
43:40
be a state, especially if we tax them and we use their and abuse
43:45
their island for things. But and then dumb asses like
43:49
Jake Paul, who lives in Puerto Rico for attack filter
43:52
complained about the Super Bowl and was pretty racist on it's on
43:56
a tweet. But Jake Paul's a dumb chuckle
43:58
fuck. I'm glad he could get his pet,
43:59
his face punched in for millions of dollars.
44:01
He brings nothing else to humanity other than that.
44:06
All right, moving on though, put out their first new song in 12
44:15
years today. Added to cover it is a a Doctor
44:18
John cover which I thought was interesting.
44:19
We do know that down the last couple of years was originally
44:22
recording an album of covers and what Kurt Weinstein said is the
44:27
band could not agree on what covers to do so they recorded a
44:32
few and then scrapped the project.
44:33
Wise Blood Records is here. What's up brother?
44:35
Jackie's here, what's up? Oh my brethren.
44:41
Much appreciated everybody. So new down music, new down
44:45
album coming later this year. They have some tour dates
44:49
announced and spoiler alert down link that they are going to be
44:53
at Afterchuck. So I think we will get the
44:55
usually we get the Aftershock lineup late February, early
44:58
March. I wouldn't be surprised if they
45:00
have to put the line up out now because being you know, I don't
45:03
know if that was on purpose. They made a mistake.
45:11
Aftershock in my backyard here in the Bay Area in Sacramento.
45:14
Maybe I will go back this year also also Denzel Carian knock
45:19
loose off those guys put out a collab song today called Hide my
45:25
this week couple of days ago banger song really fun.
45:30
There's a line in it. The video's great Co directed by
45:33
Brian, the singer of the band vocalist of knock loose.
45:37
He he Co directed. It's like a shot in a skate park
45:42
and then there's a line in there with Denzel Curry goes fuck your
45:45
favorite rapper. It's like one of the most brash,
45:48
ballsy things I've ever heard in my life.
45:50
COC Gimme Gimme more song is awesome.
45:53
You know it is awesome. I was telling my partner today I
45:57
pre-ordered the Lamb of God in the COC, like instantaneously,
46:04
and I got the Gimme More single, so there were limited edition.
46:08
So I'm pumped for that on the new COC web store.
46:12
Yeah, it's great. I'm into it.
46:14
It kind of reminds me. I thought it was going to sound
46:16
more like Volume Dealer and not be so heavy because that's the
46:20
last album with Stanton Moore on drums I think.
46:23
Or he came in at that time and then they moved to Bower if I'm
46:27
not mistaken. But I actually thought it was
46:29
pretty heavy and reminded me of like, reminded me of the COC
46:33
trio which didn't have Pepper. It also reminded me of Wise
46:36
Blood, like the boogie Metal. So I'm into it.
46:40
New down, new COC. Didn't think it was going to
46:42
happen in the same week but here we are.
46:45
Also Oh yeah. So yes, Dan COC.
46:47
Denzel Curry. Here's the COC photo with
46:50
Stanton Moore and Patrick Brothers on bass.
46:54
My man from hockey on on bass. Dio Lookout Dio and Black
47:02
Sabbath AKA Heaven and Hell is getting a deluxe box set of
47:07
everything they ever released plus live concerts, including
47:09
Live in Vodkan, which was one of Rodney's last shows ever.
47:13
And I'm kind of pumped for this. Going to be expensive.
47:16
I might have to pull the trigger on it.
47:17
I'm going to see if Rhino will send it to me.
47:20
They did send me that Smashing Pumpkins box set and they like
47:23
the job I did, so we'll see if they'll send me this.
47:26
Interestingly enough, I want, I wanted the KISS box set and I
47:29
shot my shot asking for it. One of the two KISS box sets
47:32
that came out last week and they're like, we could
47:34
theoretically send it to you if you will send it back to us
47:36
after you make all your content. I was tempted, but I didn't.
47:41
It's risky. This is amazing.
47:45
This is Graham Bonnet is doing a new solo album and he has a song
47:50
with Bruce Dickinson. They shot the music video for
47:52
this in Southern California recently as Bruce Dickinson is
47:56
in the LA area making a brand new solo album, The Mandrake
47:59
Project Volume 2. Graham Bonnet new solo album
48:03
coming soon. Graham's been fighting with his
48:05
former band Alcatraz. It's adorable, you guys.
48:07
You all white guys are adorable when you fight with each other.
48:11
Evil Rob's here. What's up, brother?
48:13
Long time no talk. We should catch up soon.
48:18
So, yeah, Graham Bonnett and Bruce Dickinson.
48:19
I'm into it. Pussifer has recorded a cover
48:25
from Low as part of their ICE protests.
48:28
I don't know if they have multiple covers.
48:31
I know. Perfect Circle had done a lot of
48:33
covers at one point with the Emotive Project, but this has
48:37
not officially been released. It was in their stories, so I
48:40
don't know if it's going to get released at a later time.
48:45
Vienna Falco's here, what's up? Dawn of the Dan has passed by.
48:52
What's up? What's up?
48:53
All right, let's see, what else? What else?
48:58
Almost done with the show 10:00 on a Friday night.
49:02
Good morning Saturday to everybody else in the world.
49:06
Burton C Bell is selling some of his photography on his website
49:10
to fund his future recording and endeavors.
49:13
Some of these are very pricey but pretty interesting.
49:15
Time lapse photos and some other nature photos and things that he
49:20
has been doing. Not, you know, still waiting for
49:23
a full Burton C Bell tour, but he did open for God Forbid last
49:27
year and a show we covered in LA here.
49:32
These handsome bastards are exhumed from San Jose and the
49:37
Bay Area and they have a new album coming soon.
49:39
They have a new song coming soon.
49:40
So so I will interview the band. Voivod has a new single in a
49:44
video out this week on tour soon.
49:47
One of my favorite bands of all time, this is Ghost Bells.
49:51
Their new album Cats Couture is out now and they have just been
49:54
announced as the opener for the entire 2026 KMFDM tour.
49:59
That's exciting and OK MFDM had pushed their tour to late spring
50:03
after some illness issues, but they will be on tour with them.
50:07
If you want an absolute unhinged, weird band, Carl
50:12
Honker out of Texas, out of Dallas, TX.
50:15
I, I just talked to these guys, They are bananas.
50:18
They're basically, they call them their music Slug Metal or
50:23
Slug Core, and it is basically avant-garde grind core meant to
50:29
be listened to by slugs. I don't know what the fuck that
50:32
is about or what I just said, but I promise you I'm sober
50:36
right now. But they're not.
50:37
I actually have never done drugs.
50:39
I was correct. That was OK.
50:40
You guys on drugs. He's like, we have never done
50:42
drugs. I was like, you got to be
50:43
shitting me. You've never done drugs.
50:46
You seem, I know a lot of drug people.
50:47
You seem like people that have done a lot of drugs.
50:50
But OK, He'll trim the British. So the crossover metal core
50:56
hardcore band just dropped a new EP this week with a few new
50:59
songs. They're going on tour soon.
51:02
Super fun band. Nick Sampson of the long running
51:07
UK old school death metal band Benediction has stepped down
51:11
from the band. He's better known as the lead
51:13
guitarist that just joined Onslaught.
51:15
He's actually quite fantastic lead player.
51:18
Benediction has a series of festivals and headlight dates
51:20
coming up this spring and summer.
51:22
And they have a filling bassist for now and they will recruit a
51:26
new basis later. But Nick has moved on to just
51:29
focus on Onslaught. I know they have a new record
51:31
coming out. They have a lot of touring going
51:33
on. Good for him.
51:35
This is the project I was talking about Good Day Father,
51:38
which brings together This is kind of fucking wild, it's Brian
51:43
Futter from Catherine Wheel and Tanya Donnelly from Belly.
51:46
I do feel like this band name is probably an inside joke because
51:51
I don't like, OK, that's interesting.
51:53
Is it good day father or good day father?
51:56
There's no punctuation. It must be an inside joke, but
51:59
I'm I'm excited. I love Catherine Wheel and I
52:01
love Belly and I'm super excited for whatever indie alternative
52:05
rock album they put together themselves.
52:08
I'll be looking out for the music.
52:12
Also while she sleeps as a band, we've covered a lot.
52:14
Here it goes called metal core band.
52:18
They launched their own fan community called the Sleep
52:20
Society. Pretty killer great band.
52:22
The photograph I actually photographed them with
52:25
Architects and Bring Me the Horizon in Brooklyn way back in
52:29
the day in the pre plate times. They are taking a break from
52:32
touring to focus on a new album for probably 2027.
52:37
And they were talking about kind of the expectation to constantly
52:40
tour and quickly put out a new record.
52:42
And they just felt like they want to really hone in and, and
52:47
spend time writing on this new album.
52:49
And they're going to be off the road for a while and they want
52:53
people to know it. So I think that's fine.
52:56
You know, it's a it's a unhealthy time in the world.
53:01
Do you be healthy as you can? Also also also also Frozen Soul
53:10
put out a brand new song, a pretty grindy death metal song.
53:14
It's like a minute long, 53 seconds long.
53:16
They're going on tour soon, opening for Avatar.
53:18
A lot of Avatar kids are going to learn about Frozen Soul for
53:21
the first time. They might get punched in the
53:23
face. We probably could get a Frozen
53:25
Soul interview at some point soon.
53:27
A killer song from Frozen Soul from Texas, Buck Ice.
53:35
And then this is kind of interesting.
53:37
We told you we were talking about Cliff Burton last week,
53:40
right? This week was Cliff Burton day
53:42
on the 10th. Oh, sorry, this is Graham Nash
53:46
really quick. This is kind of a trend on
53:48
threads where older rock and and classic rock artists are doing
53:54
this like friend where they're like telling about themselves.
53:57
Here's me and it's kind of a bring awareness to sobriety and
54:01
men's health and mental health especially.
54:03
So here's Graham Nash, who I did not think he was on threads.
54:06
Maybe someone posted this for him, but 84 years old, living in
54:10
New York City, still learning how to live.
54:11
Honestly, I spent years numbing things I didn't know how to
54:14
face, carrying pain I never put into songs.
54:16
Today I'm sober, today I'm healing, still healing, still
54:20
here. I thought that was great, so I
54:22
just wanted to mention that for a second.
54:23
Dillinger says. I predict there will be a new
54:25
Oath Breaker record. They're already playing gigs, so
54:27
I think Caro will rejoin them. I don't know if they got a new
54:31
singer, but I think it's Caro, and I know she's been busy with
54:34
Aman RA, but yeah. So anyway, now.
54:45
Oh, this is fun. Turnstile.
54:47
Boy, these guys won't quit. The last few weeks Brady Ebert
54:51
of Turnstile calls out his former band for being chills and
54:57
stealing from charity and being, you know, the virtue signalers
55:00
and performative. Then he announced his new band
55:04
the Set. They dropped the new single.
55:06
And then he started shit talking his own band.
55:09
And then his band kicked him the fuck out this week.
55:12
So fuck that guy. And they also have a new single,
55:15
so don't talk shit. Here's the Cliff Burton blurb.
55:19
This week was Cliff Burton Day in Castro Valley, CA, right
55:23
across the Bay from San Francisco.
55:25
It was pretty cool. Some bands played.
55:27
It was like a round table of guests.
55:30
You can go watch that on the Gomez Grip YouTube channel.
55:34
Gomez Grip, just like it sounds. He is a Castro Valley person and
55:41
metal scene guy and he is been basically the reason there has
55:45
been Cliff Burton day. Pretty amazing.
55:49
Also, Brian Slingle is going to be a guest on the Jim Rome
55:53
podcast. Jim Rome's one of the biggest
55:55
sports podcasts. He used to be on ESPN, kind of a
55:57
Dick, but he's very knowledgeable about sports,
56:00
especially hockey. You know, the Brian is a massive
56:03
hockey fan and has one of the biggest personal collections of
56:06
hockey jerseys in the world at his house.
56:11
And again, we got the full Record Store Day list now at
56:16
recordstoreday.com. But Glacially Musical will be
56:19
breaking down the whole list, the entire list next week.
56:23
But also, I will be doing an upcoming preview of what my pull
56:26
list will be for Record Store Day, what my hopeful pull list
56:29
will be. And then I will do a post Record
56:33
Store Day share of what I have. So now it's time for New Music
56:39
Friday. We did this last week.
56:42
Let's see if we can do it again where I share a place of music.
56:47
Y'all on TikTok Might be out of luck but what can you do before
56:52
I run through the new music that came out this week.
56:54
Not that big a list but a decent list for the 13th of February.
57:00

57:05
Oh this is a band I really love. Let's see if this is on YouTube

Necroplace on Century Media Records as a comeback record for
1:00:43
Worm, but I think was retired for quite a while.
1:00:47
So with that out of the way, it's the final part of the show
1:00:51
and it's time for the mailbag. And I have kind of a mailbag
1:00:55
potpourri today. So I'm going to get rid of this
1:00:57
and just do the solo view of me. So I have a few things to show
1:01:02
you. I got contacted by this fancy
1:01:05
vape company T Vape for two of their products and I'm not going
1:01:10
to unbox them now, but I am going to do a review for the
1:01:13
website and future content about this.
1:01:16
But if you're vaping people, we're vaping people at this
1:01:19
house. The Arc GT4 by Zeus from the
1:01:25
company T vape is a plated gold plated vape that will allow you
1:01:30
to vape both herb and liquids. It sounds like pretty high tech
1:01:36
falutin stuff. I'm trying to get into more
1:01:39
product stuff. I talked about these awesome
1:01:42
NT100 headphones from Rode and my Blue Yeti Rode mics and
1:01:47
talked about all those things lately and Stream Deck and
1:01:50
things like that. So they sent us the vape and
1:01:52
they sent us this cooling diffuser which you put into the
1:01:56
vape and then draw poles from the diffuser.
1:02:01
This seems really cool technology.
1:02:03
I'm really excited to try it out.
1:02:05
I have some herb here and maybe some liquids that work, but also
1:02:11
let's do some other things and Kiki's bag of junk.
1:02:15
I have a couple of T-shirts to share with you.
1:02:18
I'm not a big Valentine's Day person but just happened to get
1:02:23
my partner a couple of gifts. Love you Melissa, we got
1:02:26
matching shirts from Unto Others with his bat.
1:02:29
Look at this awesome bat design. Really high quality shirt,
1:02:32
pretty nice price. Unto Others is working on new
1:02:36
music. I know they finally delivered
1:02:38
their Halloween to EPS this week after their debacle with the
1:02:43
vinyl provider. I also got this awesome T-shirt
1:02:48
from that weird T-shirt shop, the shitty Beetles.
1:02:51
If you know, you know. If you don't know, let me know.
1:02:55
But if you know, you know, maybe I'll give a shitty Beetles
1:02:58
related prize away. Then I got a little delivery of
1:03:03
some some more purchases, some more vinyl purchases.
1:03:11
But these are some 7 inches. So I got a 7 inch box set
1:03:15
collection from Cromax, their 2020 EP all collected as a 7
1:03:21
inch so 7 inches from a Rising Empire record.
1:03:25
It's pretty cool. This is all from these vinyls.
1:03:27
Come to us from the MVD shop that normally has B movies and
1:03:32
horror movies. Love you too babe.
1:03:35
So I got this Cromax set which is dope.
1:03:39
I really would like to interview Harley Crow Mag again.
1:03:41
Definitely go see his movie that came out last year.
1:03:46
It was pretty amazing. 2 singles from Rancid's series of singles
1:03:51
here's Devil's Dance, Clockwork Orange, Emperor's Lapdog in 100
1:03:55
years, and also Black Lung, Life Won't wait, New Dress and
1:04:00
Warsaw. I think these were like Outcome,
1:04:02
the Wolves singles that they put out.
1:04:05
And then last and not least, the Dahmer's Terror on Wheels.
1:04:08
Dahmer's have a new song coming out in a few weeks, so I'm kind
1:04:11
of excited for that. So that's kind of a Pope for me.
1:04:14
Edition of the Mail Bag this week.
1:04:18
I have a lot of stuff at home to check and I'm cutting through
1:04:21
the backlog of things to check. So that is the Mail Bag, which
1:04:26
means that's the show. Thanks so much for watching.
1:04:29
It has been a week, let me tell you.
1:04:31
But I'm grateful for all of you. I'm glad to still be here.
1:04:34
And as we say every week in the juncture of the show before we
1:04:38
take it home, it's a tough time in the world.
1:04:40
So take care of each other, take care of yourselves, and remember
1:04:44
to stay as metal as humanly possible.
1:04:46
Be like Corpse Grinder and respect the neck.
1:04:51
And that is the weekly ritual by Ghost Cult.
1:04:54
I'm going to dance a jig on the way out.
1:04:56
Follow at Ghost Cult man peace.
