  What's up everybody? It's your boy Kefi.

  I am back once again. Oh man, it has been a week.
• 0:47
  Everybody, it has been a week, but I'm back with another weekly
• 0:50
  ritual. Rocky metal News Live show
• 0:53
  everywhere, all over the web, Facebook, Twitch, YouTube,

  Instagram. I'm hanging out on TikTok
• 0:59
  getting ready for the holiday weekend.
• 1:01
  Hobo Wizard Band is here. What's up?
• 1:03
  Hobo Wizard Band. Big fan.
• 1:07
  Am I convicted? Melon.
• 1:09
  Liquid Death. We're going to do the damn
• 1:13
  thing. We're going to talk all about
• 1:15
  the drama. So much drama in the LBC this
• 1:19
  week in rock and metal. Rubber Band Man is back.
• 1:24
  What's up, What's up, what's up? We're going to do this quick and
• 1:27
  dirty, kind of an abridged version of the show for an
• 1:31
  abridged week of work and everything else.

  And Punish is here. This is your show too.

• 1:51
  I'll drop the tip menu in a little bit.
• 1:54
  And yeah, what a crazy week it has been.
• 1:57
  We're going to talk about all the things, the big Cradle Of
• 2:01
  Filth news that just dropped March enemy vitriol, Jesus
• 2:06
  cheese and rice. OMG, what a week it has been.
• 2:10
  Just could not have a quiet week going into the holiday.
• 2:12
  Had to be insanity. If this was a typical Wednesday,
• 2:19
  I might have jumped on and just did a live stream about the
• 2:22
  crazy cradle of filled stuff. But just, you know, this is the
• 2:26
  schedule I'm keeping this week. As I've been telling you all,
• 2:30
  last live stream of the week. Let's do this.
• 2:32
  And again, thanks for being here.
• 2:34
  For those watching, we always start with the announcements and
• 2:38
  there's no easy way around. This has been a hard week for me
• 2:41
  for a variety of reasons. We're also giving away tickets
• 2:46
  to see, God Forbid in Brooklyn. But I lost a good friend this
• 2:49
  week, Jerry John Nickel. We used to shoot concerts
• 2:52
  together back 10 years ago when I lived in Boston.
• 2:55
  I just a wonderful guy, young guy.
• 2:57
  I don't have all the details of his passing.
• 3:01
  Loved around the world, one of the most talented concert
• 3:04
  photographers. If you definitely have been
• 3:05
  following metal and metal core and deathcore the last 1520
• 3:10
  years or seen some of his photography from around the
• 3:14
  world, you should consider yourself fortunate.
• 3:16
  And if you ever met him in person, you would love this guy.
• 3:19
  I'm just so sad that he's gone. He was a a big community guy in
• 3:26
  the ski and snowboard community. He used to teach a Big Bear and
• 3:31
  it's just brutal. It's just brutal.
• 3:33
  We just keep losing people. Some other losses this week,
• 3:39
  Viola Ford Fletcher, you may not know that name.
• 3:42
  She was the oldest and last surviving member of the Tulsa
• 3:46
  Race Massacre. If you don't know what that is,
• 3:48
  when Black Wall Street was bombed by racists in the 1920s,
• 3:54
  not that long ago, 100 years ago.
• 3:56
  Most people are not taught this in school.
• 3:58
  She was the oldest survivor of that massacre.
• 4:01
  She she just passed away this week at 111.
• 4:05
  Her grandson broke the news. She's got a book out there.
• 4:08
  I really need to go pick up. And I would like to read
• 4:11
  because, you know, we're doing the repeat history if we don't
• 4:14
  remember it. Oh, also, also Jimmy Cliff.
• 4:19
  I know arguably I know people you know.
• 4:22
  Bob Marley and The Wailers and a few others are synonymous with
• 4:25
  reggae, but Jimmy Cliff was really the first Jamaican artist
• 4:29
  to promote reggae music around the world.
• 4:32
  He influenced both Bob Marley as well as all the ska 2 tone and
• 4:37
  ska punk of both Britain in the 70s and punk in Europe and
• 4:44
  America to follow. Incredible guy.
• 4:49
  The Harder They Come is the movie about him.
• 4:51
  You should go see it, it still holds up.
• 4:53
  I saw him a few years back, just a tough one.
• 4:57
  He was 81. I didn't really run through the
• 5:01
  birthdays this week, but I would have celebrated a birthday this
• 5:05
  week. It was Mark Lanigan.
• 5:07
  You probably know him from Scream, Screaming Trees, Mad
• 5:10
  Season and Queens of the Stone Age.
• 5:11
  But Mark has had a humongous impact on me and and arguably
• 5:17
  say I would not have my if not for Mark, I might not have my
• 5:22
  current love of my life, Melissa.
• 5:25
  So lucky for me, we bonded over Mark and yeah, it sucked.
• 5:31
  I was really hoping at the Hall of Fame the Soundgarden guys
• 5:34
  would have shouted out Screaming Trees.
• 5:35
  They were close at one point. I think it's the Connor guys
• 5:39
  that the Connor brothers that people did not like.
• 5:41
  But you know, I still love the band.
• 5:51
  Anyway, yeah, so tips, if you guys are feeling tipsy, we are
• 5:55
  grateful. Here's our tip menu.
• 6:00
  The best way to tip us if you want to jump on YouTube and give

• 6:43
  Link in the bio link in the description link in the link
• 6:45
  tree. Black Friday.
• 6:47
  I know commercialism kind of sucks, but you know, let's face
• 6:51
  it, if we you're a music fan, chances are you're a collector
• 6:55
  of things, items, stuff. And honestly, I know it's been a
• 7:02
  tough year, so surely I'm not trying to hawk anything.
• 7:06
  But if you're buying gifts for people, if you celebrate the
• 7:10
  holidays. Hey, Gabe is here.
• 7:12
  Hi, Gabe. Auntie Mosby's.
• 7:13
  What up, Sir? Just talking about our
• 7:16
  announcements. You just started the show a few
• 7:18
  minutes ago. It's Black Friday this Friday.
• 7:21
  You know, your every band, every label, every store related to
• 7:25
  music or metal music or rock music culture has a sale.
• 7:28
  I've organized everything for you.
• 7:29
  It's one of the pin posts at our website now.
• 7:32
  You can check it out. Some of those things are
• 7:35
  affiliate links that kick back to us.
• 7:36
  That would be cool. But mostly in general, we're
• 7:39
  just trying to support bands and small businesses.
• 7:42
  And if you find it all gross and if you're vegan and you don't
• 7:44
  eat Turkey and you don't care about Thanksgiving because it's
• 7:47
  linked to terrible American history, I respect that's cool.
• 7:51
  Take a few days and reflect and take care of yourself and think
• 7:54
  about the year. That's what I like to do.
• 7:56
  I still, I like the idea of gratitude at the end of the year
• 8:00
  and whether it's this holiday or not, I just like thinking about
• 8:03
  what I have versus what I don't have.
• 8:05
  I'm trying to find the joy every day.
• 8:07
  Some of this is me finding the joy right here with all the all.
• 8:12
  That's what I do. That's what I respect.
• 8:14
  Yo man, Zoltar. Man loves Mark amusement.
• 8:17
  PDX, What's up? What's up?
• 8:19
  Zoltar? Great to see you again.
• 8:20
  It's been a minute. Thanks for everybody who's here
• 8:23
  and watching. I know it's a weird time.
• 8:25
  We'll get back to the regular schedule next week.
• 8:27
  Also, this Friday is Record store day.
• 8:30
  Black Friday. I did a huge breakdown and an
• 8:33
  unboxing of video of albums that I was sent early.
• 8:38
  Some were pretty cool, some are fun.
• 8:40
  Whether you like these bands or not, it's really cool to work
• 8:43
  with labels like Craft Recordings, who does a great job
• 8:46
  on reissues and stuff. Vicious 006 is here, or 006.
• 8:52
  So yeah, we did a Black Friday breakdown, I unboxed some vinyl,
• 8:55
  and then I did what basically amounts to my pull list in order
• 8:58
  of priority for me and perhaps of interest to you.
• 9:02
  So you should check that out. Rock, metal and punk and a few
• 9:06
  other things like soundtracks and stuff.
• 9:09
  Also. Also, if you caught our live
• 9:11
  streams, every Monday the last eight weeks we have been hanging
• 9:14
  out and talking about the Mojave Experience Festival, coming this
• 9:19
  March for the first time ever to Joshua Tree, March 20th and
• 9:24
  21st. I'm really excited.
• 9:27
  I've been really happy to be part of this.
• 9:28
  I'm going to this festival. I'm going to have a baller.
• 9:32
  Also, new interviews on the channel this week include my
• 9:36
  interview with Billy Grazia, Day of Biohazard Brooklyn and the
• 9:39
  House. This is the guy I've been
• 9:41
  following since I'm 15 years old.
• 9:43
  He's just a few years older than me.
• 9:45
  I love Biohazard. New album Divided We Fall is out
• 9:47
  now. It is a banger.
• 9:49
  One of the best albums of the year in terms of hardcore,
• 9:51
  thrash, whatever crossover and just a really great interview
• 9:56
  where he talked about recording with Matt Hyde.
• 9:58
  Matt Hyde is done like Parkway Drive and Slayer records.
• 10:01
  So and you know, all the guys in bio has to know how to make a
• 10:04
  record and produce records for other people.
• 10:06
  So it's interesting to me that they went to another producer
• 10:12
  and and so much more to talk about that one.
• 10:14
  Also today, perhaps a lesser known artist, but one you should
• 10:18
  know about. Grid Failure is the multi genre
• 10:22
  avant-garde extreme metal project of our friend Dave
• 10:26
  Brenner. It has a who's who of guests on
• 10:29
  it. We had a hell of a good time
• 10:31
  talking about this. We talked about maybe making
• 10:33
  some music someday when I get back to New York.
• 10:37
  Kurt Paul Shotgun. I didn't know Biohazard was
• 10:39
  still putting out stuff. They have Kurt.
• 10:41
  They have reunited with their classic lineup Evan Seinfeld,
• 10:45
  Danny Schuler, Bobby the Skull Hamble and Billy Bio Billy
• 10:50
  Grazia Day. They are back.
• 10:51
  The new album is out now, Divided We Fall.
• 10:54
  It's out on Black to Black Records, which is a new imprint
• 10:58
  under the Frontiers SRL label from Europe.
• 11:01
  Megadet's new album is coming out on that label.
• 11:03
  They put out some brand new bands also, but they started off
• 11:06
  with Biohazard and Mega. Pretty killer.
• 11:08
  Great album. I'm fucking totally here for it.
• 11:12
  We're do we we're going to talk about our album of the year
• 11:14
  stuff soon. It goes called an absolutely
• 11:16
  Biohazard's new record is factoring into my list, but Grid
• 11:19
  failure. Really cool experimental extreme
• 11:22
  metal. Check that out on the channel as
• 11:25
  well. Great interview with Dave.
• 11:26
  We also nerded out about final and you can see a whole stack of
• 11:29
  records behind me that I'm trying to file on my desk.
• 11:32
  Cogs and fix up. Other recent interviews Ghost
• 11:35
  Cult has had includes Soul Fly, Testament, Paradise Lost, and so
• 11:40
  many more and many more to come. We've got an interview next week
• 11:42
  with Trivium. Yo, Trivium's new EP is out.
• 11:45
  We'll talk about that next week, but it's super stoked to get
• 11:48
  that love back from Trivium and also Trivium, a former album of
• 11:53
  the year winner for Ghost Cult a couple of years ago.
• 11:55
  Also, because I don't have enough to do I Am the Coach, the
• 11:58
  Glacial Musical podcast, beer, metal and swearing vinyl nerding
• 12:02
  about hockey and other things. We just finished the series on
• 12:05
  Alice In Chains. We did a whole vinyl unboxing of
• 12:07
  the new David Gilmour from Pink Floyd live box set.
• 12:11
  Now we're starting a new series on Queens, right?
• 12:13
  Go check us out. Ghost Cult has like 6200
• 12:17
  followers on YouTube glacially musical as I conference.

• 12:32
  That sound exciting, right? I'm telling you I'm I'm trying
• 12:35
  man. We're trying to do all the
• 12:37
  things. It's kind of exasperating and
• 12:39
  exhausting. All right, that's all the
• 12:43
  features and the announcements. Now it's time for the news
• 12:46
  rundown. Let's talk about it.
• 12:50
  We usually start with metal festivals and that's where we're
• 12:52
  going to begin. Again.
• 12:55
  I'm hoping metal meeting is coming up soon.
• 12:57
  Here, I'll begin. This will take my face off for a
• 12:59
  minute on everything but TikTok. Einhoven metal meeting hypocrisy
• 13:04
  Trypticon Gorgorov terrorizer with a special set possessed
• 13:09
  Batushka. Whichever Batushka.
• 13:11
  This is the official 1 Tribulation Sinister and many
• 13:16
  more. We are definitely covering this
• 13:17
  in Eindhoven in the Netherlands where it goes cold started.
• 13:22
  Hey Kurt, I'm glad it popped up in your feeds man.
• 13:25
  And feel free to give us a follow.
• 13:27
  We'll follow you back Captures Wolf is here.
• 13:30
  You know, we try to go and support everybody who supports
• 13:33
  us. Other things going on in the
• 13:35
  festivals. We cover Bloodstock open air
• 13:37
  every year. This year was headlined by
• 13:39
  Machine Head, Trivium and Gojira.
• 13:41
  They're doing for the first time I think ever, a winter festival
• 13:45
  like A1 Dayer in England. We are also covering this Candle
• 13:50
  mask Venom Ink, Hell Ripper, one of the best bands of this year
• 13:53
  with a new album out Raised by Owls, Torture, Demon King,
• 13:56
  Kraken, Red Method, Thum, Hellbearer and a meet and greet
• 14:01
  Q&A. So basically mid afternoon tea
• 14:05
  time for you Brits and Europeans.
• 14:08
  And then yeah, Candle mass and Venomink and Hell Ripper one O
• 14:12
  123 at the end of the festival. And we're going to bring you
• 14:15
  coverage of that. I'm super stoked for our guy
• 14:17
  Bill Maudsley in the UK for coming out to cover this.
• 14:21
  And we're going to be covering more shows in Europe next year,
• 14:23
  more concerts, more festivals. We're growing our team there and
• 14:26
  I'm really excited about it. Also announced this week, Vans
• 14:30
  Warped Tour just ended a couple of weeks ago our last weekend.
• 14:35
  Now we've got the full announcement for 2026,
• 14:37
  Washington, Long Beach and Orlando again, but now adding
• 14:41
  Montreal, QC and Mexico City. I'm I was pretty excited that
• 14:47
  that Warp Tour came back. I had gone to a few Warp tours
• 14:50
  and I was the old guy at Warp Tour like 10-15 years ago.
• 14:54
  It's not quite the same as it used to be, but I thought they
• 14:57
  did a really nice job promoting it, putting it out, doing all
• 15:00
  the things. Perhaps next year we will get to
• 15:02
  cover one. This year the dates did not line
• 15:04
  up. We could have covered.
• 15:06
  We were trying to cover at least one of them and the dates didn't
• 15:09
  line up. So we'll see next year where I'm
• 15:11
  at, probably not Mexico City, probably not Quebec, but maybe
• 15:16
  one of the main ones. Also coming up soon, Decibels
• 15:20
  Metal and Beer Fest Denver. And this happens every year,
• 15:23
  twice a year. Sometimes they do LA.
• 15:25
  It's not last year they did. They did LA like 2 years ago.
• 15:30
  Acid Bath once again on the Triumphant comeback tour.
• 15:34
  Blood Incantation, I hate God. Chatpile, Dead guy, The Red
• 15:38
  Chord playing all of clients. Holy cow.
• 15:41
  Primitive man. Panopticon, One of my favorite
• 15:43
  black metal bands of all time. Conan.
• 15:46
  This is this is just incredible. If I didn't have other shit
• 15:48
  going on I might go out to this, but I can't.
• 15:51
  Also announced for next summer and we may be covering this Art
• 15:55
  Tangent festival for the first time ever.
• 15:57
  Will have Primus as a headliner as well as Chelsea Wolf and Cult
• 16:01
  of Luna and Julie Christmas doing Mariner 10 year
• 16:05
  anniversary set. I saw one of the rare Mariner
• 16:08
  sets 10 years ago and I saw there one show in New York.
• 16:13
  It was phenomenal. I have tried to interview Julie
• 16:15
  Christmas, she's typically very fresh shy, but this arctangent
• 16:19
  festival looks fucking unbelievable.
• 16:21
  Igor Napalm Death, see Purdivator High On Fire, Agent
• 16:25
  Fresco, Conjurer, obsessed, Oath breaker coming back and
• 16:28
  reunited. One of the final shows ever from
• 16:31
  Small Bard amplifier Joe Quail goes called favorite psychonaut.
• 16:36
  Great new album by them. So many more darker steerling
• 16:40
  clamp. How so many great bands?
• 16:44
  Warped Tour in Jersey. Yeah.
• 16:45
  I mean, that would make sense. I think, you know, they were
• 16:47
  testing the waters this year with the first three.
• 16:49
  Ronnie Talk is here. Bleak.
• 16:52
  His music is here. Sermon of Flies is here.
• 16:54
  Good to see you again, Flintlock Alex.
• 16:59
  Oath Breakers back, dude, we saw them way back in the day in New
• 17:04
  York City, and I got to interview Caro like on in like
• 17:09
  the West Village just hanging or East Village hanging out with
• 17:11
  her on the street. Just person on the street.
• 17:14
  Interview with Caro. She's incredible.
• 17:16
  You know she does a lot of stuff with Amanra, a lot of backing
• 17:20
  vocals basically on their albums.
• 17:22
  So I'm really excited. I hope this means I'll break her
• 17:24
  new album. New headline tour.

• 17:48
  Oh my God. Dead guy.
• 17:50
  Also, Jesus, I need to go to this.
• 17:53
  I love Kylisa. Maybe a Kylisa series on the
• 17:57
  Glacial Musical podcast at some point.
• 17:59
  I know they're not that big, they're still kind of a cult
• 18:01
  band, but I would like to do it. OK, what else?
• 18:07
  Aftershock Festival is probably going to announce their lineup
• 18:09
  right after New Year's or their first headliners in December.
• 18:13
  Here's their early bird sales. Just because it's Black Friday,
• 18:15

  party, I am confirmed to be going.
• 19:26
  We'll be covering this. I hope to interview Todd from
• 19:30
  Ripple Music, the founder, very soon.
• 19:34
  One of my favorite bands of all time, Fireball Ministry is the
• 19:37
  headliner of this party with Zedd and Black Wharf.
• 19:40
  I am stoked. Not to mention I can walk home
• 19:43
  from the show. I can't wait.
• 19:46
  I can't wait. Also, I got scared about this
• 19:50
  Rod and Christ. This thing popped up from
• 19:51
  Maryland Death Fest, Rod and Christ 1989 to 1995.
• 19:54
  I was like, what? Oh, what's going on with Rod and
• 19:57
  Christ? They just played a bunch of
• 19:58
  anniversary shows. No, they're doing a special set
• 20:00
  at Maryland Death Fest next spring, next summer or whatever.
• 20:04
  Labor Day weekend, Memorial Day weekend.
• 20:07
  Sorry, Rod and Christ only songs from 89 to 95.
• 20:11
  OK. Please don't scare me like that,
• 20:13
  man. Nero is legendary as fuck.
• 20:15
  Cool. Good to know.
• 20:16
  Rod and Christ killer band. We did.
• 20:18
  We've reviewed them. We've covered them all over the
• 20:20
  world. And we covered their big Grease
• 20:23
  Greek shows later Greek black metal band.
• 20:25
  Super anti Christian, extremely blasphemous if you're into that
• 20:31
  shit. So, yeah, all right, Marilyn
• 20:36
  Defes looking forward to that. I might very well make it out to
• 20:38
  that Inferno festival. We told you those presale
• 20:41
  tickets are on sale now. Mayhem, the aside and slave, no
• 20:43
  man's child, the Covenant, Canon fever, Tormentor, Samayal, the
• 20:47
  hounds of hell. When one falls, another shall
• 20:50
  rise. If you know your cowboy movie
• 20:54
  and comic books, Primordial incantation and many more
• 20:59
  awesome Milwaukee Metal fest had moved to June.
• 21:02
  We told you that last week. Now we have the first headliner
• 21:05
  is acid bath and oh, I know you did them Gabe Acid bath and now
• 21:11
  Iron Reagan is coming back. I think this is you know,
• 21:13
  municipal waste may be going on a hiatus, but iron Reagan is
• 21:16
  making a comeback and they will appear at Milwaukee Metal fest.
• 21:21
  Bryce and Lamp wants to know Epiphone SG or Yamaha Pacifica.
• 21:25
  You know what Bryson, I've always been an SG shaped person
• 21:29
  and my dream guitar, if I was to get another guitar at some point
• 21:33
  would be a like a maroon SGIE, Godfather Iommi and Peppercinen
• 21:41
  of Corrosion, Conformity and down.
• 21:44
  So yeah, Pacifica, you know, good guitars though.
• 21:46
  No, I'm not mad at them. Again, thanks for watching these
• 21:51
  things. I appreciate everybody.
• 21:52
  Feel free to subscribe to us if you you're new here.
• 21:56
  All right, that's all the festival news.
• 21:58
  Now let's do the concerts once again.
• 22:00
  God forbid we are giving away tickets to this three shows to
• 22:03
  end the year for a massive comeback year for the band.
• 22:06
  God forbid darkest hour, bleeding through Nora and we are
• 22:10
  giving away tickets to the Brooklyn one.
• 22:12
  This flyer that looks like a Public Enemy album cover was
• 22:15
  done by my partner and co-owner Omar Cordy.
• 22:19
  What should be my first guitar. I'm waiting.
• 22:21
  I'm wanting a couple different styles SRV slash time back.
• 22:24
  Well, I'll tell you what Bryson I got to go with Tom Morello was
• 22:28
  like you know what get a beater to do your first guitar.
• 22:31
  Don't you know, yes, it's awesome to have a great piece of
• 22:34
  gear. And when I was a young little
• 22:36
  shaver and trying to learn to play music and going to music
• 22:39
  school and killing my hands playing bass I didn't have, I
• 22:44
  had some pretty good gear to start out with.
• 22:45
  But as I got better gear, I also feel like I made better music.
• 22:49
  I was more motivated, I was more into it.
• 22:51
  But honestly, you just need a basic ass beater guitar.
• 22:56
  Think about the style of music you want to make or play.
• 23:00
  If you're still figuring that out, cool.
• 23:02
  You know, certain types of body types and pick up alignments and
• 23:07
  types of guitars lend themselves to things like metal or Blues a
• 23:11
  little bit differently. If you're going to be doing a
• 23:13
  lot of soloing, maybe you want to, you know, think about how
• 23:16
  the guitar feels on your body. That's the number one thing.
• 23:18
  Go to like a Guitar Center and try out a bunch of guitars and
• 23:21
  wear them, you know, and see how they feel and see how they fit
• 23:25
  you. Is that cool?
• 23:26
  I hope that's cool. Pepe is here.
• 23:31
  HSS. Probably not a bad 1A bad one.
• 23:33
  Mark Badgers back. What's up, Mark?
• 23:35
  Good to see you again. All right.
• 23:37
  More, More. More.
• 23:39
  Hell yeah. And maybe we've got some other
• 23:42
  guitar players in the comments who can.
• 23:45
  Yeah. Kurt says if it don't feel
• 23:46
  right, it won't sound right. Thank you, Kurt.
• 23:48
  Call shotgun. I agree.
• 23:50
  Anybody else who has some guitar advice for our new friend here,
• 23:53
  Phil Bryson, feel free to tell him Amana Marth.
• 23:57
  This is probably going to be one of the first biggest killer
• 24:00
  tours of the new year. Amana Marth with special guests
• 24:03
  Orbit Culture and Soil Work. Fucking crazy that Soil Work is
• 24:07
  under Orbit Culture, but that tells you how big a band and how
• 24:10
  much of vibe Orbit Culture has going into 2026.
• 24:14
  This is a European Tour. I wouldn't be surprised that
• 24:17
  this tour also comes to the States.
• 24:19
  They have similar management and, you know, put the Swedes
• 24:24
  all together and see what they come up with.
• 24:25
  You know what I'm saying? Bella Kiss Music, thank you so
• 24:30
  much for following us. I appreciate it.
• 24:33
  That is a great tour, right? Like a we covered a Modern Marth
• 24:35
  and Pantera this year in the States.
• 24:37
  So I feel like a Modern Marth is a bigger band in Europe.
• 24:41
  I do feel like they kind of peaked a little bit and they,
• 24:44
  you know, would be interested to see when they finally get around
• 24:47
  to new music, what that looks like for them.
• 24:50
  But you know, let's see what they do, you know, we'll see
• 24:55
  what they do with new music. I I feel like they peaked a
• 24:58
  little while ago, but I have enjoyed the last few amount of
• 25:01
  Martha albums and I always enjoy them live.
• 25:03
  Orbit culture is great. Soil Work is one of my favorite
• 25:05
  bands ever. OK Sepultura continues to
• 25:10
  announce their farewell dates for 2026 and they have announced
• 25:14
  their final European date ever. I believe it's an exclusive show
• 25:17
  in Dublin. Sepultura, Biohazard,
• 25:20
  Malevolent, Sacred Reich by one of my favorites as well.
• 25:24
  And Crypto. What a great show that's going
• 25:27
  to be next summer. I know Sepultura is popping up
• 25:30
  on festivals and we will probably see some farewell US
• 25:33
  shows again as well. I know it's like Megan that
• 25:37
  said, oh, you know, we're, we might play three or five more
• 25:40
  years. That's not quite a farewell
• 25:42
  tour. But anyway, Guns and Roses, as I
• 25:46
  have been talking about and and anticipating for a long time,
• 25:49
  Guns and Roses has finally announced 2026 world tour dates.
• 25:54
  They had not booked the USA. Now they are.
• 25:57
  They're not coming to Northern California near me.
• 25:59
  They are playing the Rose Bowl for the first time in 20 years
• 26:03
  in LA, so that's a big deal. It was a big drone light display
• 26:07
  yesterday announcing the tour. They're playing all over Europe.
• 26:10
  No openers announced yet, but they did just do all of Europe
• 26:13
  with Public Enemy so that would be sick.
• 26:16
  Definitely Rubber band man says please.
• 26:18
  Definitely feel feel out guitars at Guitar Center and then buy a
• 26:21
  used one to play practice on. I agree.
• 26:23
  Save your duckets for the guitar.
• 26:25
  You really the Wayne's World? Oh, she must be mine.
• 26:28
  You know, pre pre CBS sale to Japan file down the nut and you
• 26:34
  know, like, yeah, wait, wait to get the the best, best guitar
• 26:39
  you can afford or money can buy and and learn on a beater.
• 26:42
  I am a firm believer in him and he man's beast.
• 26:46
  They need to write new songs. Axel can't scream.
• 26:48
  Well, you know what I understand he doesn't have the power and
• 26:51
  especially the back to the beginning game show that Axel
• 26:54
  doesn't have the strength he used to have.
• 26:55
  But I've seen G&R twice in the last 10 years and once in the
• 26:59
  last four years. And I will tell you he can hit
• 27:02
  all the notes. You know, maybe they set the bar
• 27:05
  a little too high. I'm my main thing is so Guns and
• 27:07
  Roses also supposed to drop 2 new songs next week.
• 27:11
  And I'm going to tell you that I'm curious if they're actually
• 27:15
  brand new songs that they've been talking about.
• 27:17
  They did. Or are these two more rework
• 27:20
  demos we've heard already? Because G&R, you know, like
• 27:23
  it's, I want new music now. So it'd be fun to see what they
• 27:26
  come up with, you know. But anyway, we'll talk more
• 27:29
  about that next weekend. Megadeth has announced more
• 27:32
  dates, Canada, South America, Europe, America again.
• 27:39
  Love this Photoshop by former Ghost call photographer Rich
• 27:41
  Price Goodwill. That's a good advice.
• 27:44
  Rubber band man shop at goodwill.com sometimes has great
• 27:47
  guitars from very little money and sometimes you will just get
• 27:50
  a lucky deal at a good local guitar shop and you want to shop
• 27:53
  small. As I said, I know we promoted
• 27:56
  Black Friday and Record Store Day Black Friday already, but
• 27:59
  like, please try to shop small if you can.
• 28:03
  Deftones have added even more dates in Europe to their tour.
• 28:06
  I'm pretty excited about this again.
• 28:08
  Looking forward to seeing Deftones again.
• 28:09
  Private music out now wherever you buy and stream music.
• 28:13
  I love this record. One of my top records of the
• 28:16
  year. Queen of the Unicorns is also
• 28:18
  here for Nina Garcia's here. Pani Love is here.
• 28:22
  I appreciate all of you. This has been a really fun show.
• 28:25
  I'm really glad you guys are killing it in the comments.
• 28:28
  Coroner has announced their first US tour in Forever
• 28:32
  Dissonance Over the West. Special guest haven.
• 28:34
  One of my favorite bands, Dean Vendetta is a great cheap guitar
• 28:38
  to start with. Solid body, smooth neck and good
• 28:41
  action. I'm still trying to interview
• 28:44
  Dean from Dean Guitars now that he's trying to get the copyright
• 28:48
  back for the dime bag model. But good good one Kurt.
• 28:52
  Great advice. White Pony is in my top maybe 10
• 28:58
  albums ever. I love that shit so much.
• 29:02
  I did Minerva at karaoke on Monday for the first time ever.
• 29:05
  That was a lot of fun. Again, here's Amanda Marth,
• 29:09
  Mötley Crüe, Mötley Crüe, Tesla and Extreme.
• 29:13
  I know Extreme just dropped a new music video that had been
• 29:15
  dying. They all went and played at,
• 29:18
  like, their high school baseball fields for a music video.
• 29:22
  And the one where Gary Sharon is is in Malden, Mass, right
• 29:26
  outside of Boston proper. It's like you know, within the
• 29:28
  city limits and April kind of rocks is here.
• 29:31
  What's up? And so yeah, extreme new music
• 29:34
  video out Tesla. I've been hearing things that
• 29:36
  Jeff Can't Sing that well anymore and we already know
• 29:39
  Mötley Crüe is all on tape. If you never seen Mötley Crüe
• 29:42
  and you want to sing home speed home with like 10,000 drunk ass
• 29:45
  people and Vince is terrible. Go If you have seen them, you
• 29:49
  don't need to see them ever again.
• 29:51
  I don't need to ever see them again.
• 29:53
  Ed what up brother? My brother from another mother,
• 29:57
  Ed Molina. White Pony is one of my favorite
• 29:59
  albums. I know, bro, we've had many.
• 30:01
  We had like a drunken rouse giving conversation about this.
• 30:05
  I think with you, me and Hiram were hitting the coquito too
• 30:08
  hard. Or I know I was because I can't,
• 30:10
  not with that shit. And I don't drink rum on the
• 30:14
  regular. I when I was drinking I was beer
• 30:16
  and whiskey primarily with some vodka in my younger days.
• 30:20
  But holy shit, I missed that Christmas coquito.
• 30:23
  Man, I need to get blast out West.
• 30:26
  It's hard, all right. Power Man 5012 Stones, that's
• 30:31
  the band who is the guy singer on Evanescence is Bring Me to
• 30:34
  Life and Makes my Blood Dance have booked AUS tour for this
• 30:38
  spring, kicking off in Fresno in late April and going all through
• 30:43
  the country and back again to Hollywood.
• 30:47
  Power Man 5000 still a thing in 2026.
• 30:49
  Wild. I saw them when they were kind
• 30:51
  of like a hippie rap group. Hippie rap rock group.
• 30:55
  Skull bashers back. What's up pal?
• 30:58
  Power Man 5000 Iron Maiden again continues to add some more dates
• 31:03
  to the Run For Your Life World Tour.
• 31:05
  We're getting a little bit of Anthrax on this tour and
• 31:07
  Megadeth as the main opener. Should be good for Megadeth to
• 31:10
  get the opening slot for Maiden Ice 9 Kills.
• 31:16
  We told you about this last week.
• 31:17
  They're doing their Silver Scream Con and yeah, when
• 31:20
  generations collide. Exactly.
• 31:22
  Silver Scream Con is coming to the UK next week as well as this
• 31:26
  brief Ice 9 Kills arena tour. This is their biggest tour ever
• 31:31
  with Creeper and the Devil Wears Prada.
• 31:33
  Art from Tara Fire will apparently be at the shows also.
• 31:36
  Kind of wild. We'll see if we can cover this.
• 31:39
  I don't know, kind of a stretch. Pistols featuring Frank Carter.
• 31:43
  You know, they were supposed to tour the US this week this year,
• 31:46
  and then Steve Jones broke his hand so they rebooked a handful
• 31:50
  of dates in Europe. 50 years of punk and play, all of Never Mind
• 31:54
  the Bollocks. Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glenn
• 31:56
  Matlock featuring my Helmie and yours, Frank Carter from Frank
• 32:00
  Carter in The Rattlesnakes, now on hiatus.
• 32:02
  We have one of their at last interviews with them.
• 32:04
  I love that band. But yeah, The Stranglers, The
• 32:06
  Undertones and Panic Shack opening.
• 32:09
  So like really, really pulling out the old school proto punk
• 32:13
  and punk rock bands from the UK. And I believe we'll get an
• 32:16
  announcement of U.S. tour dates at some point for next fall.
• 32:20
  Maybe they will play Riot Fest. That would be that's what they
• 32:23
  were supposed to do. We were talking about this last
• 32:26
  week. Health Fest and Overcome Fest,
• 32:27
  Present Path and Resistance, Moral Law, Fading Signal 1 by 1
• 32:31
  and End of a Rope for your punchy punchy hardcore.
• 32:33
  If you want to get donkey punched in the fucking throat in
• 32:36
  the pit, that's your show. St.
• 32:39
  Brutality tour with shatter realm and death before dishonor.
• 32:41
  Big old school Death before dishonor fan right here.
• 32:45
  Small Bard. I think these dates are just
• 32:48
  ending now, or just ended. They have a handful of dates
• 32:51
  next year and then they are wrapping it up.
• 32:53
  They do have a brand new song out.
• 32:55
  Midnight has announced the Satanic Royalty 15th Anniversary
• 32:59
  Latin America tour and this is going to take place next spring.
• 33:02
  Pretty exciting for Midnight. I just saw them.
• 33:04
  Great band. Machine Head has backtracked.
• 33:08
  They were doing these big package chores this last year
• 33:11
  and a half and they finally relented and started headlining
• 33:14
  festivals. And they have announced an
• 33:17
  evening with Machine Head coming back for Europe next year and
• 33:22
  probably America. So we'll see.
• 33:23
  Who the no opening band, just three hours of Machine Head.
• 33:26
  If you're a big Machine Head fan, this is for you.
• 33:29
  This is a killer Photoshop by our own.
• 33:32
  Thanks, my homie. Do we cover CK Fest in LA?
• 33:35
  We should. We haven't yet.
• 33:37
  Kurt, if you're from the LA area, DM me and let me know the
• 33:40
  details. I think we were talking about it
• 33:42
  last year. And then, you know, it's like
• 33:44
  kind of top. My team from LA is kind of
• 33:46
  spread out. There's only like actual LA area
• 33:48
  people, just a couple of them and then the rest of them are
• 33:50
  kind of regional. But we're trying to get more
• 33:53
  shows covered. We're trying once again with the
• 33:56
  more than halfway point of the show.
• 33:58
  Please tip us when possible, We appreciate it.
• 34:02
  Hey let me just talk about Fable beard company for a second.
• 34:04
  If you want to have a dope beard like me, you want to get hooked
• 34:08
  up from Fable Beard company. They also have a fem brand
• 34:11
  called Fable Beauty if that's what you're into or you know
• 34:14
  someone who deserves a gift. High quality, all natural
• 34:16
  products. I have very mixed blotchy skin.
• 34:20
  I'm very allergic to shit. Certain deodorants and soaps
• 34:23
  make me break out and give me a reaction.
• 34:26
  Fable Beard has been flawless and they have an unscented
• 34:30
  variety. The barkeep all their their
• 34:34
  sense and they have characters they're all based on like D&D
• 34:38
  characters. So the barkeep, the Bard, the
• 34:40
  wizard, the hunter, the trapper. It's insane.
• 34:45
  I love it so much and I'm all into it.
• 34:48
  QB bread dip this year, what's up?
• 34:51
  Also another affiliate partner of ours is Lamb Goat.
• 34:54
  When you see ads on our website, that's from the Lamb Goat media
• 34:56
  network. Lamb Goat has a bunch of other
• 34:58
  metal websites in their team. They're kind of the meaner ghost
• 35:00
  cult. I'm sure you know who they are.
• 35:02

• 35:05

  We have the newsletter. I try to put out every Friday or

  Saturday. Do all the things, do all the
• 35:24
  things. We tried, man, we tried.
• 35:26
  All right, last licks. Let's get to the rest of the
• 35:28
  show. Now it's time for all the drama.
• 35:30
  Are you ready? Gird your loins.
• 35:32
  Kurt's from Texas, but I can definitely get you in touch with
• 35:34
  some people running it. Absolutely.
• 35:35
  Please do DM me. Kurt and I will check this when
• 35:38
  I'm off the air. Cradle Of Filth This shit just
• 35:48
  hit right before I went live. Five former members of Cradle Of
• 35:52
  Filth are suing Danny Filth and the band and their management,
• 35:57
  Oracle Management. I will preface this by saying I
• 36:00
  just found this out right before we went live.
• 36:03
  I managed to get this old photo of them.
• 36:05
  You can see Zoe and a shock in the photo in the middle and just
• 36:13
  what a fucking mess. First off, I have had nothing
• 36:16
  but good interactions with Danny.
• 36:18
  We've got a long time mutual aberration society with Danny
• 36:22
  and Oracle management, which is Dez Fafara and his wife
• 36:25
  Anastasia. I have nothing, but I've had
• 36:28
  nothing but respect for them and good relations and good contact
• 36:31
  with them. I've interviewed Danny, I've
• 36:33
  interviewed Dez, I've met Anastasia and Dez together
• 36:37
  talking about management stuff. Absolute, you know, never had a
• 36:40
  problem, but this is all there. You know, this is like basically
• 36:43
  the short version of it. Oh, thanks so much for the man,
• 36:46
  man, I appreciate you. The short version is the former
• 36:49
  members of the band, which also includes Lindsay Schoolcraft for
• 36:52
  Friend of Goes Cult. She has joined the lawsuit of
• 36:55
  these other former members claiming their own royalties,
• 36:59
  reporting royalties and dues not paid for their likeness on
• 37:05
  merch, merch designs and merch with their likenesses.
• 37:09
  And also Lindsay did graphic arts for the band for a long
• 37:12
  time and she didn't get paid for any of that.
• 37:15
  So I don't know who's right or wrong.
• 37:17
  I'm going to deep dive more into this.
• 37:19
  Maybe I'll come back from the holiday and do a live stream on
• 37:22
  it. But also, holy shit.
• 37:25
  And lawsuits usually take some time to source, you know, suss
• 37:28
  themselves out. So we'll see what happens.
• 37:30
  I'm sure as of right this moment, I haven't seen a
• 37:32
  response from Danny or Des. I'm sure we will.
• 37:38
  Concert crap is here. What's up?
• 37:39
  Concert crap. Great to see you.
• 37:40
  Speaking of drama, Arch enemy, we know that Elisa White glues
• 37:44
  quit arch enemy or was, you know, left arch enemy this
• 37:48
  weekend. Very strange timing with the
• 37:50
  announcement on Sunday of all things.
• 37:54
  And then immediately she dropped the song, which is OK, it's
• 37:58
  pretty good. She's apparently been working on
• 38:00
  a solo album. If you haven't been following
• 38:03
  Arch Enemy, Elisa took over 12 years ago from Angela Gousseau
• 38:07
  who took over Whatever many years ago from Johan Leva.
• 38:12
  I know that some old school Arch Enemy fans that love death metal
• 38:15
  one Johan to come back. He has already said he is not
• 38:17
  coming back. I highly doubt Angela would be
• 38:20
  coming back except for maybe a one off or a brief anniversary
• 38:25
  tour. I know Arch Enemy has a lot of
• 38:27
  anniversaries coming up of their biggest albums but also I just
• 38:30
  don't see Angela coming back. She's young enough, she's fit
• 38:33
  enough, I'm sure she could step right back in.
• 38:36
  Also, Michael and Chris Almont's father just passed away and they
• 38:41
  apparently took it very badly and and very hard.
• 38:44
  And so it's very possible they're going on a hiatus as a
• 38:48
  band anyway. And she just wanted to kind of
• 38:50
  get out there and get back to work.
• 38:52
  And she had this solo record she was working on.
• 38:55
  And no, probably no update about Arch Enemy for the time being in
• 39:01
  the near future. Just letting you know.
• 39:03
  But good luck to Elisa. Good luck to Arch Enemy.
• 39:06
  The part of ways 12 years. She certainly, I know that
• 39:09
  people didn't necessarily embrace her, but she certainly
• 39:11
  helped them get, you know, further along in their career.
• 39:14
  I think they also have like like Amanamar, they think Arch Enemy
• 39:17
  kind of peaked and I don't know what else they can do besides
• 39:21
  play the hits and make more of the same.
• 39:23
  But that's just me. They are one of the most
• 39:26
  talented bands ever in melodic death metal.
• 39:30
  Also also here's the drama for Vitriol.
• 39:33
  So here's here's the story. Here's the story.
• 39:39
  Vitriol has had a problem in the past where members long time Co
• 39:45
  founding members quit, personality issues, other
• 39:51
  things, life on the road, Vitriol young killer, death
• 39:55
  metal band. We've covered them, we've
• 39:57
  interviewed them. Their main person and front
• 40:00
  person, Kyle Rasmussen was on tour with new hired members of
• 40:05
  the band to complete pouring responsibilities.
• 40:08
  They have been to Europe this year.
• 40:09
  They had AUS tour not too long ago where we covered them and
• 40:15
  apparently they were all kind of partying a lot.
• 40:18
  This is their own account. They were partying a lot.
• 40:20
  A lot of nose candy, you know, Book of Sugar, Olivia marching
• 40:24
  powder. Do you want to build a snowman?
• 40:27
  All these things Deadpool references and there was a lot
• 40:31
  of verbal abuse and back and forth between the band and the
• 40:34
  hired guys and the singer. His partner who is not American
• 40:39
  who's in the US on a visa visiting and their dog were left
• 40:44
  at abandoned at a gas station in Vermont because he kept berating
• 40:48
  them and they just jetted and left him.
• 40:51
  Holy shit. Then he gave his side of the
• 40:53
  story where he's like you know, I've never talked about these
• 40:56
  issues before. I definitely am accountable for
• 40:59
  some of the problem. But he gave a 40 minute video
• 41:02
  going bit by bit about what happened.
• 41:05
  The remaining guys who quit vitriol are going to start a new
• 41:09
  band together which is hella interesting.
• 41:12
  I hope Kyle gets his stuff sorted.
• 41:14
  I know it's really hard right now to tour.
• 41:17
  Maria Cesar Romero is here, Necrotic Core Beast is here,
• 41:20
  Gomez 5O2, Hamza Khan, what a whole hot mess this has been.
• 41:25
  I don't know if you've been following this but holy shit
• 41:28
  this has been a fucking mess. But anyway, Vitriol tour
• 41:32
  canceled and Kyle Rasmussen has to get new members at the very
• 41:37
  least. Or, you know, maybe at this
• 41:39
  point, give up the band and start a new band with new people
• 41:42
  that you can relate to and work with.
• 41:45
  I am not always my best self. I am working on my emotional
• 41:48
  quotient and my levels of, you know, what's appropriate and
• 41:52
  what's not. As a manager and a business
• 41:54
  person and friend and a lover and a boyfriend and a future
• 41:58
  son-in-law and all these things that I want to be better.
• 42:00
  I want to be my best self. Getting abandoned in Vermont in
• 42:03
  the middle of winter sucks. I don't know if you've ever been
• 42:06
  to Vermont. It's creepy, scary.
• 42:08
  You think all the horror movies come from Maine and
• 42:10
  Massachusetts. Vermont terrifies me.
• 42:13
  It's too quiet. It's too fucking and eerie and
• 42:16
  quiet. Love it.
• 42:17
  Beautiful great people, Ben and Jerry's Dartmouth.
• 42:21
  But anyway, fuck. Just again.
• 42:24
  Some more further news after Soundgarden got into the Rock
• 42:26
  and Roll Hall of Fame. Soundgarden has mostly completed
• 42:30
  the final album with Chris Cornell.
• 42:32
  I do believe we're going to hear about this in the first half of
• 42:34
  2026 for a rewra, for a release. Who knows again if they would
• 42:39
  reunite to perform some of that music live or do a tribute
• 42:43
  concert, another tribute concert.
• 42:45
  The last one was pretty great. I like the performances of the
• 42:50
  Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But again, kind of difficult to
• 42:53
  see if they would come back or not without Chris.
• 42:55
  Kind of hard again, Slipknot. The The conversation was
• 43:00
  happening last week that Slipknot sold their catalog for
• 43:04
  $120 million. And the chatter among the fans
• 43:07
  is who actually gets paid and who doesn't.
• 43:10
  And I engaged in some of that chatter and gave my opinion.
• 43:14
  Since 2003, Slipknot Inc has been owned by Clown Corey and
• 43:17
  Corey Brennan of 5B Management, and everybody else in the band
• 43:21
  has been a hired gun with a salary, a salaried employee of
• 43:24
  Slipknot Inc. Now, if you were in the main
• 43:27
  writing groups of those albums, the debut, the second album,
• 43:31
  which was really the Slipknot we got to know best, Iowa when Jim
• 43:37
  Root wrote a lot of stuff, Volume 3, you know, the 4th
• 43:41
  record, 5 the Grey chapter. If you wrote songs on those, you
• 43:45
  should theoretically get paid out for royalties, but I don't
• 43:49
  know if that gets you the rights to that album.
• 43:55
  So I don't know the rights to that big payout.
• 43:57
  I just don't know, you know, I just don't know.
• 44:00
  OK, moving along, moving along. Dogma continues.
• 44:06
  This is fucking the insanity of Dogma after the Australian tour
• 44:10
  was cancelled because the tour promoter wanted the original
• 44:13
  Dogma, not the replacement Dogma, the scab Dogma.
• 44:16
  And no offense to anybody that's in the band now, they are trying
• 44:20
  to figure out what their shit is going forward with that band
• 44:22
  looks like. But the fan community might be
• 44:27
  worse than the band situation. Like I gotta be honest.
• 44:30
  Like, OK, I understand that people have like built their.
• 44:32
  Don't build your own personality.
• 44:33
  Listen. Like, look, I'm a rock and metal
• 44:35
  person. I have had a whole career in
• 44:37
  music where I played in bands for 20 years.
• 44:39
  And I started a new band again this year on New Year's Day a
• 44:42
  year ago. And it's going kind of slow, but
• 44:45
  like, don't make your whole personality a band.
• 44:48
  If you love Ghosts, that's fucking awesome.
• 44:50
  But they're not everything. If you love thrash metal, be a
• 44:53
  thrash metal kid. But they're not the whole world,
• 44:56
  you know what I'm saying? So Dogma, like their fans are
• 44:59
  like, we want the band, you know, they're kicking out people
• 45:02
  in their groups and Reddits and public forums where people are
• 45:06
  just speaking out in support of whatever is going on with them.
• 45:08
  And people are like, no, you're not a fan, you're a hater.
• 45:11
  Well, you know, I'm a hater of a band that's supposed to be about
• 45:15
  female empowerment in these possessed zombie nuns, and
• 45:19
  they're being dominated and dictated to by some dude that
• 45:23
  doesn't make the music. So I want the band I was
• 45:26
  promised, not the band that I was shown, you know what I'm
• 45:29
  saying? Converted Drop the new song,
• 45:32
  announced a new album. Very excited and hyped for this
• 45:35
  again. Lamb of God, I love this.
• 45:37
  Photo by Wendy Brick, Photography from Rye Fest last
• 45:39
  year. New Lamb of God single and
• 45:43
  video. Parasocial Christ.
• 45:44
  This is their second new song in a row.
• 45:47
  Hopefully going to get an announcement of a new Lamb of
• 45:50
  God album. You know that they have a whole
• 45:52
  year of touring coming up so I would hope a new album is on the
• 45:55
  horizon. That would be great.
• 45:57
  Chloe Miller is here. Solemati R is here.
• 45:59
  What's up, what's up, what's up? Thanks for being here again.
• 46:02
  Feel free to like and subscribe if you're new here.
• 46:05
  We are trying to grow the this brand year over year.
• 46:08
  We are in year 13. I've been a music journalist for
• 46:11
  20. Oh my God, bro.
• 46:13
  So fire. We have another photo.
• 46:14
  It's like, actually the stage is on fire.
• 46:17
  It's pretty fucking red. All right.
• 46:21
  Anthrax has announced the completion of mixing of their
• 46:24
  new long-awaited album. I roll, I roll, I roll.
• 46:27
  I love Anthrax are one of my favorite bands.
• 46:29
  Look at the hat. They're the backpacks on my
• 46:31
  vest. I'm from the Bronx, NY where two
• 46:33
  of the guys are from Frankie and Charlie.
• 46:36
  They made a joke about Dave Grohl being their new singer.
• 46:39
  Let's not keep making singer jokes in 2025 when you already
• 46:43
  fucked it up with John Bush and Joey is back by the grace of
• 46:47
  Satan. Let's not fucking offend the
• 46:49
  guy, you know what I'm saying? But I'm excited for new Anthrax
• 46:52
  and I really want a headline tour.
• 46:53
  I know they're doing the Maiden dates, but I really need an
• 46:56
  Anthrax headline tour. Please and thanks.
• 46:59
  New Rob Zombie song is out now. People were a gag and aghast in
• 47:04
  our comments on social media about how bad the song is or how
• 47:08
  much Rob Zombie sucks. Bring back White Zombie, which
• 47:10
  he will never do under any circumstance.
• 47:13
  So you can already do the White Zombie material by himself.
• 47:15
  He doesn't want to work with anyone else.
• 47:18
  What's your opinion of the new White Zombie?
• 47:20
  Or are you not excited for new White Rob Zombie?
• 47:22
  You know, he does do very consistent albums.
• 47:24
  They're not very memorable, but he's great live.
• 47:27
  And you know, if you wait around long enough, you will hear
• 47:30
  Supercharger, Heaven and Thunderkiss 65 and more human
• 47:33
  than human. So again, Mark, rest in power.
• 47:39
  I would love some more Mark Lanigan love in the world.
• 47:42
  I think I will eventually do it on the record with Mark
• 47:45
  Lanigan's music with Don de Lamont of Talking to Talk with
• 47:49
  Don and Hernandez is here. Hilary Fikes has passed by.
• 47:52
  What up? What up?
• 47:55
  What else? What else?
• 47:56
  Liquid death. We homies are repping Liquid
• 47:58
  death. I hate to be a shill, but they
• 48:02
  just came out with energy drinks in these fun flavors.
• 48:06
  Maybe we'll try some on cameras. No, I know, Gabe, you love rock,
• 48:10
  but have you heard the new music?
• 48:12
  And did you have an opinion on it?
• 48:14
  You know, he doesn't have to try that hard to make the music he's
• 48:17
  happy making. You know, maybe he's happy
• 48:19
  making that stuff. I don't know, I don't know if
• 48:23
  you've been following the Nick Menza channel on YouTube, but
• 48:25
  Nick has been uploading fun videos.
• 48:29
  You know, Dave Ellison has been working with Nick's family to
• 48:32
  get that documentary out and you know, is that he uploaded a
• 48:41
  really cool. He got the stems from the
• 48:43
  original Wake Up Dead fracking on bass and Nick had done a drum
• 48:50
  cover with the bass. And obviously Nick has gone a
• 48:53
  long time. That's the way many years ago.
• 48:56
  But I'm really excited about this.
• 48:57
  I hope this is the year where we get this documentary finally,
• 49:00
  because I need it. I need it badly.
• 49:05
  All righty homie has got a Crave case from White Castle.
• 49:10
  I'm jealous, my Lord. One of the best doom metal bands
• 49:13
  in the world have completed the recording of their next album,
• 49:17
  and I expect an announcement about this.
• 49:19
  Hopefully in the first quarter of 26, you're going to start
• 49:22
  hearing about new albums, new albums, new albums.
• 49:24
  Speaking of new music Tool, a new interview with Justin
• 49:28
  Chancellor today has confirmed that Tool has been writing off
• 49:31
  and on for years for the next Tool released to follow Fiat
• 49:35
  Oculum, which is now 6 years old, 6 1/2 years old almost.
• 49:39
  But you know, Tool has been very busy keeping touring a lot more
• 49:43
  than they used to before the pandemic.
• 49:45
  So Tool, A Perfect Circle on tour next year, plus the Fur on
• 49:49
  tour with a new album next year. So hopefully some Tool.
• 49:52
  Again, shorter than longer wait to get new Tool music.
• 49:56
  I know I'm waiting anxiously for it.
• 50:01
  Kirk Hammett's guitar that he played at back at the beginning
• 50:05
  with Metallica just sold for a humongous amount of money for
• 50:08
  charity. There's a lot of charity
• 50:10
  auctions have been going on right now.
• 50:11
  I know they sold John Bonham's clothing from the song Remains
• 50:15
  the Same movie at auction for like $100,000 or something.
• 50:19
  His velvet suit and white frilly shirt.
• 50:21
  I love when stuff gets sold for charity.
• 50:24
  I'm into charity. Giving Tuesday coming up this
• 50:26
  Tuesday. OK, I tried this last week and
• 50:30
  it did not work. I'm going to try it again.
• 50:36
  We're going to talk about the new music coming out.
• 50:38
  This is kind of one of the last big weeks.
• 50:40
  We're going to do 2 more weeks in December of new music
• 50:43
  releases and then we're going to take a break until January,
• 50:46
  maybe even mid January, which is what we did last year.
• 50:49
  But here's the new stuff coming out and I'm going to just play a
• 50:53
  little bit of some of it. I've been trying every week to
• 50:57
  try to get this and let's see if I can get it to go Hold on a
• 51:00

• 51:02

  Let's play some Blood Outsnord Ethereal Horizons on Debe Morty

  mailbag, one of my peers. If you've ever seen some of my
• 56:05
  round table videos on YouTube or podcast, Metal Mark, Mark's
• 56:10
  metal minute on TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, he actually wrote a
• 56:14
  book on productivity for your professional and personal life
• 56:18

• 56:22
  your day. Mark is wonderful.

• 56:31
  minutes. Sorry, buddy.

  So you know, Mark wrote this book.
• 56:35
  I'm going to do an interview with him about it.
• 56:36
  Don did an interview with Mark about this book.
• 56:38
  Don can comment how much he likes the book.
