• 18:33
  the music you heard? so far in the show today.
• 18:36
  We started out with anthrax that was anthrax
• 18:39
  covering sex pistols that was god save the queen
• 18:41
  followed by a live anthrax track that was metal
• 18:45
  thrashing mad from the armed and dangerous 12
• 18:49
  inch ep with some early anthrax there uh what's
• 18:53
  that from 1985 it looks like mega force records
• 18:56
  after that we played some dio some ronnie james
• 18:59
  dio rest in peace from the holy diver lp we played
• 19:03
  Rainbow in the Dark. Did you know that Ronnie
• 19:07
  James Dio is credited with creating the metal
• 19:11
  horns, the hand signal? He was the first to do
• 19:14
  that, apparently. After Dio, we played some Rat.
• 19:17
  That was from 1983, from their first vinyl release.
• 19:21
  It's a 12 inch EP. We played Sweet Cheater. And
• 19:25
  we finished off that last segment of music with
• 19:29
  Wasp. And that was... school days from their
• 19:33
  first 12 -inch EP. Do you know what WASP stands
• 19:36
  for? W -A -S -P. Apparently it stands for We
• 19:40
  Are Sexual Perverts. So anyway, in the spirit
• 19:45
  of decadence of the metal from the 80s, that
• 19:47
  is just perfect. Okay, anyway, moving on. We
• 19:51
  got more metal for you. We got some punk coming
• 19:52
  up later in the show. Lots and lots of punk,
• 19:55
  non -major label punk. All of the music we play
• 19:58
  is from 1977 to 1997. I'm the dude. The show
• 20:02
  is Listen Loud. Tell your friends. Everyone out
• 32:09
  there love 80s metal as much as I do. I hope
• 32:11

  Tales. Legendary, legendary full length. That's

• 33:12
  we played some Bolt Thrower for you from their
• 33:14
  first full length. In battle, there is no law.
• 33:18
  I think I'm done with metal for the day and let's
• 33:20

  D .I. at the Cactus Club in San Jose many, many
• 34:18
  years ago in the mid early 90s. And at the time
• 34:21
  I was working for for a zine. a scene called
• 34:24
  DIY or Go Die. And so we got to interview Casey
• 34:27
  at the bar there at the Cactus. Anyway, good
• 34:30
  memories. The Cactus Club, of course, known for
• 34:33
  having many, many legendary bands come through,
• 34:35
  also known for having the worst bathroom in the
• 34:38
  Bay Area. And if you've been there, you know

  LP. great story I have of seeing fear live at
• 46:23
  the truckadero in San Francisco in 95 and Someone
• 46:27
  spit on Lee Ving and he wasn't having it. So
• 46:29
  he walked off stage a riot broke out and Just
• 46:33
  another reason that I fell in love with punk
• 46:35
  rock, but also got to interview Lee Ving and
• 46:40
  at the end of the interview Because I was working
• 46:43
  for a zine. I actually mentioned that earlier
• 46:44
  in the show DIY or go die At the end of the interview,
• 46:48
  he gave us a bumper sticker that said, I'm a
• 46:50
  close personal friend of Lee Ving. He was not
• 46:53
  a nice guy, just so you know. But anyway, still
• 46:55
  touring, and big fan of the guy. Awesome. All
• 46:59
  right, we got a few more tunes for you. Some
• 47:01
  more punk from vinyl. This next tune goes out
