  None. And what's up everybody?
• 0:43
  How you doing tonight? It's Kefi.
• 0:45
  It goes cold. mag.com back with another rock and metal news
• 0:49
  show, The weekly Ritual. Rock and metal news were
• 0:51
  everywhere on the web. Tried to go live like in the
• 0:55
  last hour like 5 or 6 times and the gear just would not
• 1:00
  cooperate. I'm shuttling back and forth
• 1:03
  between my apartment in San Francisco at my girlfriend's
• 1:07
  house, which you see me here all the time.
• 1:10
  And yeah, just a fucking hassle today.
• 1:13
  Just a fucking hassle. Pop open on Liquid Death.
• 1:18
  Mango Chainsaw. I have a lifetime supply of
• 1:20
  these. No, I don't, but I wish I did.
• 1:26
  Dave is here. Auntie Mosby's.
• 1:28
  What's up, brother? Excited for your new album
• 1:30
  coming soon. Live on ALL THE THINGS.
• 1:34
  The best experience for this show is as always, YouTube,
• 1:39
  Facebook, Twitch, Instagram, but I also like hanging out on the
• 1:43
  tick of the talk. So if you are there, thanks.
• 1:46
  This show will always be free. We do have a tip menu which I'll
• 1:50
  post up in a minute. Gabe, thank you for your coffee
• 1:53
  earlier. That was really sweet of you.
• 1:55
  Again, my real ones, my everydayers, you're all fam.
• 1:59
  I appreciate you. But of course, you know, we do
• 2:03
  get some advertising money, but we are not corporate backed, so,
• 2:09
  you know, we'll see if these work or not.
• 2:10
  I am unsure, but I'm glad you're here Gabe.
• 2:14
  Thanks for being here. Looks like we've got some
• 2:15
  watchers on the wall already. And what a crazy week in music,
• 2:22
  right? What an absolute crazy, batshit
• 2:25
  insane time in the world. I hope everybody is good out
• 2:28
  there. I'm trying to do my best to keep
• 2:31
  it together. I'm hungry also.
• 2:34
  So this has gone very late and my poor girlfriend is waiting
• 2:37
  for me. So without further ado, let's do
• 2:41
  the damn thing. As always, I make a little deck
• 2:43
  to help with this. Again, feel free to watch.
• 2:48
  Let's let's jam on it right into it.
• 2:52
  We always start with the announcements.
• 2:53
  There's always some sad and complicated news.
• 2:57
  A reminder, we are giving away tickets to see Echo and the
• 3:00
  Bunnymen in Los Angeles. Please don't enter unless you
• 3:03
  have a realistic shot of going to the show.
• 3:05
  But West Coasters, Californians, Nevada, Arizona, you know, New
• 3:11
  Mexico, theoretically you could make it in for the show.
• 3:15
  Or if you're in the LA area and you love Echo in the Bunning.
• 3:18
  And I'm super stoked to once again team up with Golden Voice
• 3:22
  on this. I'm really happy and appreciate
• 3:24
  that they like us as a partner. It's super cool to me.
• 3:29
  I think it's cool. I'm rather pleased.
• 3:32
  Looks like we got some people watching on the book of faces.
• 3:34
  We got some people watching on the tube of you and just thanks
• 3:39
  for being here. You could you could spend your
• 3:41
  time with anybody, but you're here with us, which is really
• 3:43
  nice. I'm appreciative.
• 3:46
  And if you are new here, check us out at ghostcodeman.com.
• 3:50
  Follow us and we will follow you back.
• 3:52
  And in addition to this, hey, Wimsey Fox is here.
• 3:56
  What's up? In addition to this giveaway,
• 3:58
  we're going to be doing some more giveaways next week for
• 4:01
  free vinyl and all kinds of stuff.
• 4:03
  So hang with us and it'll we'll make it worth your while, make
• 4:09
  you smile, because we're versatile.
• 4:11
  This is an interesting story that popped up this week.
• 4:13
  We always try to sit, share Gofundmes from our community in
• 4:18
  case people are feeling charitable and can help.
• 4:20
  I don't know if you know who Neil Jameson is of the US black
• 4:24
  metal band Krieg and Imperial and Neil and a bunch of others,
• 4:30
  but he was in Twilight, the big black metal super group, about
• 4:33
  10 years ago. Neil is also a journalist and he
• 4:36
  writes for Decibel. He writes a column as a sort of
• 4:39
  tastemaker about black metal and metal in general and the
• 4:42
  culture. And he is like Crocodile.
• 4:45
  Exactly. He has had to take full time
• 4:49
  care of his wife, who's got a recurrence of cancer, as well as
• 4:52
  their autistic toddler who needs full time supervision.
• 4:55
  So there is a GoFundMe on. I'll link it in the description
• 4:59
  when the show is over, but you can basically search GoFundMe.
• 5:03
  Jameson's one of the most recent post on our website, maybe
• 5:07
  yesterday. And yeah, Neil, I interviewed
• 5:10
  him once for Creed. Really great interview, just
• 5:13
  like you would imagine him to be.
• 5:15
  Very Creed of him very, you know, it's Creed, black metal,
• 5:22
  super smart guy, just tough, tough situation with his partner
• 5:26
  and his child. Just a reminder, man, like, you
• 5:32
  know, there's a lot of crummy actors out there in the music
• 5:35
  world who post bullshit stories everyday.
• 5:37
  And I get that it's kind of probably hard to know what is
• 5:42
  real and what is fake out there, right?
• 5:44
  And I try to keep it real as much as humanly possible.
• 5:47
  But I get that it's challenging to do what we do.
• 5:51
  So we ran this story last week about Max and Gloria Cavalleri's
• 5:54
  daughter Christina, passing away at a very young age, in her 40s.
• 5:58
  And in like, 25 years or less, she had put together, like, a
• 6:04
  very impressive career in the music business.
• 6:06
  And I know there was probably some family drama that was and
• 6:09
  was not public. And people are, like, in the
• 6:12
  comments on Facebook, just shouting out their private dirty
• 6:16
  laundry like, it's a difficult time for the family.
• 6:19
  Don't tag Gloria and Max on their personal pages and a story
• 6:24
  about this. They know she's passed it Can't.
• 6:27
  I can't imagine what it must be like to bury a child.
• 6:30
  It must be horrible. So, you know, I just can't even
• 6:34
  imagine, you know, how that even would go.
• 6:37
  So, you know, be a little more thoughtful.
• 6:40
  You don't need to come in the comments and be arguing about
• 6:43
  like whether she was family and close with them or not.
• 6:47
  Like it's just dumb. You just look like a dummy.
• 6:50
  You seem like a Dick head. I don't understand why you would
• 6:55
  do this. You know, I don't fucking
• 6:58
  understand it. But anyway, you know, act
• 7:02
  appropriately. Everything is on fire.
• 7:05
  Act appropriately. Some other losses in the world
• 7:09
  this week. Robert Duvall, 95 years old,
• 7:12
  legendary actor. Most people know him from The
• 7:14
  Godfather and Apocalypse Now. He was one of the toughest and
• 7:19
  most prolific, greatest actors of our lifetime.
• 7:22
  That was incredible. He had a tremendous and profound
• 7:26
  impact on the film industry. And you know, directors were
• 7:33
  said to have, you know, he challenged them at their craft
• 7:37
  sometimes. You know, again, I think about
• 7:39
  Dennis Hopper, some of my favorite actors of all time just
• 7:42
  worked, worked, worked. And Duvall is one of those guys.
• 7:45
  Very sad. I know he lived a full life.
• 7:48
  He certainly had a great life. Also kind of really sad to me.
• 7:53
  Maybe a much more underground actor, but you no less great in
• 7:57
  my book. Tom Noonan.
• 7:59
  Here he is as Kelso and Heat. He always had a way as a as sort
• 8:03
  of a, you know, occasionally leading man, but mostly as a
• 8:06
  character actor. And he had a way of taking over
• 8:09
  a movie with his presence. This one scene where he's give
• 8:12
  you know, he's in a wheelchair and he's giving this score to De
• 8:16
  Niro's, you know, McCauley character.
• 8:19
  He was so good. Monster squad X-Files.
• 8:23
  You know, he had countless roles where he was incredible and and
• 8:28
  I think last action hero, right, he was a bad guy.
• 8:32
  So just you know, what a what a terrible loss.
• 8:34
  I think he died after a long illness at his home, which super
• 8:39
  sucks, just sucks. Thank you, Gabe.
• 8:42
  RIP indeed. You know, here's a few more.
• 8:45
  This week, Shootaro EDA who invented Castlevania died and
• 8:51
  pretty young, actually, about my age, maybe a little younger.
• 8:56
  Very sad, 52 years old. Another passing this week,
• 9:02
  Hideki Sato. If you played Kali, Sega or
• 9:06
  Kaliko in the 80s, this was the guy who made all these Sega
• 9:09
  Vision and Sega consoles. He literally invented them.
• 9:15
  And later what would become the Dreamcast.
• 9:17
  He lived a, you know, 76 years old.
• 9:20
  Very, very sad that he passed away.
• 9:22
  Giants of our childhood are leaving us.
• 9:25
  I don't know what to do. On a better note, celebrating a
• 9:29
  birthday today is the great godfather of metal, Tony Iommi,
• 9:33
  a Black Sabbath. He's got a solo album coming out
• 9:36
  soon. Also born this week in metal,
• 9:38
  Dave Lombardo, formerly of Slayer, currently of Mr. Bungle
• 9:41
  and a bunch of other bands. Taylor Hawkins would have
• 9:45
  celebrated her birthday this week.
• 9:48
  Also celebrating a birthday this week, both Levar Burton from
• 9:51
  Reading Rainbow and Star Trek the Next Generation, as well as
• 9:55
  Geordie Laforge. They share her birthday 3000
• 9:58
  years apart. Pretty fun.
• 10:00
  That's kind of fun. And also this week in metal
• 10:03
  history, a couple of factoids, Bond.
• 10:05
  Scott died and, you know, basically died after a night of
• 10:10
  drinking. They put him in his car to sober
• 10:12
  him up and he died very, very sad.
• 10:16
  And I believe they would have hired Brian Johnson a few months
• 10:19
  later. I know that dates are argued
• 10:21
  about or whatever. And also ten years ago, that's
• 10:25
  just more than 10 years ago, 13 years ago this week, Megadeth's
• 10:29
  Gigantor, which had many additions, but I went to this
• 10:33
  one. This date is not the date that I
• 10:35
  went to, but it was Megadeth, Motörhead, Volbeat, who was kind
• 10:38
  of a brand new band 1015 years ago, and Lacuna Coil.
• 10:44
  Rob Zombie releases next week The Great Satan, which is an
• 10:50
  inarguably fantastic title. At this time in the world that
• 10:53
  Rob Zombie's album is called The Great Satan, I'm not sure how
• 10:56
  good the record's going to be. I should go do maybe a live
• 10:59
  stream review of it next week. But yeah, Gigantor, I had a lot
• 11:03
  of fun, you know, obviously photographed Motörhead 3 times,
• 11:07
  photograph from Kunukoil that time.
• 11:08
  Volbe early on have a different band kind of now band members
• 11:12
  and Megadeth, the name Megadeth was great.
• 11:14
  I think that was the Chris Broderick.
• 11:18
  Sean drove her on the drums. Megadeth with Ellefson back in
• 11:21
  the band now departed. We'll talk about Dave Ellefson a
• 11:25
  little bit later. So just a reminder if you're new
• 11:29
  here and you're feeling tipsy, Gabe, thank you already for the
• 11:32
  payment earlier. Again, super nice.
• 11:35
  You know, we you will always answer your questions free.
• 11:37
  This is your show as well as it's mine.
• 11:40
  I often say in a lot of my interviews privately to artists
• 11:43
  like, hey, this is your interview too.
• 11:45
  And you know, I want you to get something out of it.
• 11:48
  So if you got a question about any of the stories we talk
• 11:51
  about, if you got some news you want to ask about if I missed
• 11:54
  something, if there's something on your mind, drop a comment,
• 11:57
  preferably on YouTube or here on TikTok or let's see if anybody's
• 12:02

  Kofi, buy us a coffee on Kofi. There's your things.
• 12:38
  And now it's time for some features here at Ghost Cult
• 12:40
  here, I'll put myself back on the screen.
• 12:42
  Hey, it's me. We ran a brand new interview
• 12:46
  with the band Friendship Commanders.
• 12:48
  Don De Lamont did that interview.
• 12:51
  Great band, put a record out last fall on the very fine folks
• 12:54
  at Magnetic Eye Records label. You've seen us interview a lot
• 12:58
  of their bands. There's some of their bands that
• 13:00
  have broken up in the time the labels existed and I'm saddened
• 13:03
  by this. But Friendship Commanders killer
• 13:05
  new album, their album is called Bear BEAR and check out our
• 13:12
  injury interview with Buick and Joe from Nashville produced
• 13:17
  their album was produced by Kurt Balu of of Converge, who has a
• 13:21
  new album out after last week. So real fun.
• 13:23
  And then just a reminder some of our recent interviews and we
• 13:26
  have some huge ones coming up. But some of our recent
• 13:28
  interviews include Mark Menge of king ultra mega and metal
• 13:32
  allegiance. The band 84 Days, which features
• 13:36
  members of Pennywise and super producer Cameron Oops, Trigger
• 13:44
  Finger, Itchy. Also David Jay of Bauhaus.
• 13:47
  I interviewed him about his new solo project.
• 13:50
  Really fun, really great. Kind of a bucket list type
• 13:53
  interview. Was really happy to get it.
• 13:58
  Let's see, you got a few more, you know, just check us out.
• 14:00
  We also have a podcast. The show will be a podcast also
• 14:04
  my because I don't have enough to do my other podcast, the
• 14:06
  Glacial Musical podcast. We had a Chaser episode in
• 14:09
  between series. We just wrapped up our new our
• 14:11
  recent series on Dio. We're starting a new series on
• 14:15
  Megadeth next week. I've been on a huge Megadeth
• 14:17
  kick today. Listen to like 5 records and
• 14:20
  AEP. And so we did a Chaser episode
• 14:24
  for a deep dive on record store date.
• 14:27
  As a vinyl collector and aficionado, I do get some stuff
• 14:31
  sent to me. I'm hopeful that a few things
• 14:34
  from the list will get sent to me early to review and unbox and
• 14:37
  do some content around. But we really dive deep into
• 14:41
  Record Store Day. But I'm going to do an
• 14:42
  additional. You should check out the Glacial
• 14:44
  Musical podcast. But additionally, I'm going to
• 14:47
  do a separate Record Store Day solo video just on the channel
• 14:51
  for Ghost Call specifically about my picks for Record Store
• 14:56
  Day, what I'm going to buy, and Megadeth, by the way, spoiler
• 15:00
  alert, there's a Megadeth release on Record Store date you
• 15:02
  need to have if you love thrash metal.
• 15:06
  But yeah, we're going to talk all about that.
• 15:08
  I can't wait. And again, this show's a
• 15:10
  podcast. All our shows are probably, you
• 15:12
  know, again, eventually become podcasts.
• 15:14
  We have some exclusive podcast interview stuff coming next
• 15:17
  week. The great Warren Haynes
• 15:19
  interviewed by Don Dillamont. I'm so stoked for that run.
• 15:22
  You know, like if you know classic Rock, You know who
• 15:25
  Warren Haynes is. And then I just thought this was
• 15:28
  hilarious. Sudden spike in vaginal dryness
• 15:32
  attributed to RFK and Kid Rock. The the, the least manly thing I
• 15:37
  can ever fucking think of is these two guys working out in a
• 15:40
  sauna. What in the actual fuck is going
• 15:42
  on with this country? Holy shit.
• 15:45
  Anyway, and now it's time for the news rundown and let's talk
• 15:51
  about some metal festivals. Metal festival time.
• 15:56
  Let's go. The Revenant is 10 years old
• 16:00
  this year, by the way. I am getting old.
• 16:02
  All right, Bourbon and Beyond was announced today.
• 16:03
  We've covered it a couple of times.
• 16:05
  Not exactly metal, but rock. Foo Fighters, Mumford and Sons,
• 16:08
  Chris Stapleton, great singer Dave Matthews Band, not a big
• 16:11
  fan. Queens of the Stone Age, Kacey
• 16:13
  Musgraves, The Red Clay Strays, Hootie and the Blowfish and a
• 16:19
  bunch of other artists. Usually a good time.
• 16:22
  It's the week after Louder Than Life most weeks, so it's two
• 16:28
  weeks in a row at the Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville.
• 16:31
  It's food, it's whiskey, it's beer.
• 16:34
  It's usually a great time. We have covered it before a
• 16:36
  couple times, so that's another Danny Wimmer festival.
• 16:39
  We're getting announcements about Louder Than Life, we're
• 16:41
  getting some leaks about Rockville, and I do believe the
• 16:44
  Aftershock lineup is coming completely on March the 3rd,
• 16:51
  although Down already leaked that they're playing it.
• 16:54
  So kind of fun. All right, Warp Tour continues
• 16:57
  to add new bands. We'll do the full Warp Tour
• 17:00
  rundown for all the dates once they're announced.
• 17:03
  Maybe we'll do a little live stream highlighting some
• 17:06
  festivals this spring, Washington DC in June, Long
• 17:10
  Beach, CA in July, Montreal in August, Mexico City, Mexico in
• 17:16
  September, and Orlando, FL in November.
• 17:20
  Hopefully we'll get to cover that.
• 17:21
  Mojave Experience is coming up in exactly 1 month in Joshua
• 17:25
  Tree, CA Earthless, Dead Meadow and a bunch of other bands.
• 17:28
  That's going to be great. Friday night at Mojave Gold and
• 17:32
  Saturday all day at Joshua Tree Park.
• 17:35
  Bandshell Super sick. We'll be doing more content and
• 17:38
  interviews and stuff with those bands and and the founder soon.
• 17:41
  Milwaukee Metal Fest is coming up soon.
• 17:44
  I might finally get to see Macabre.
• 17:46
  Every time I'm supposed to see them, either something comes up
• 17:49
  and I can't go where they cancel.
• 17:51
  I've never seen them. They're one of my favorite death
• 17:53
  metal bands of all time. And you know, they're a little
• 17:56
  old school death medley. They're not as technical as some
• 17:59
  other bands, but one of my absolute favorite, most charming
• 18:04
  and brilliant bands and I've never seen them and they are on
• 18:06
  this show. So among all the awesome bands
• 18:08
  on this bill, I would be almost most excited to see them.
• 18:13
  So fingers crossed for me that I get to do this.
• 18:16
  Also again, coming up in the summer, this is moved around
• 18:22
  between summer and fall. Might go in Orlando, dude, you
• 18:25
  might Body count pumping face to face are doing Camp
• 18:29
  Pennsylvania. This is the full line up now.
• 18:32
  We've interviewed about half this line up in the past.
• 18:34
  We might go cover it. We shall see.
• 18:37
  Also all Points E, an outbreak festival which is a london-based
• 18:42
  festival of punk and metal is being headlined by Deftones.
• 18:46
  Very exciting stuff where Deftones continue to have a
• 18:49
  stellar banger couple of years. We also know they're Co
• 18:52
  headlining Sick New World which we are covering in Vegas
• 18:55
  officially as well as hopefully Texas in the fall.
• 18:59
  This looks dope. Grand Paris sludge festival,
• 19:04
  Coven, You know how much of big fans of Coven we are here and
• 19:07
  Truck Fighters are your headliners with a few bunch of
• 19:10
  other bands. Hopefully more bands to be
• 19:12
  announced soon. I believe this is taking place
• 19:15
  in May 23rd and 24th of May in Europe.
• 19:19
  I don't know if you're a big Wilco fan, but Wilco and Jeff
• 19:23
  Tweedy have their own festival at Mass Moco, which is kind of a
• 19:26
  museum compound in in Western Massachusetts.
• 19:32
  And we've covered that once a long time ago.
• 19:34
  So they've announced their big, it's usually singer songwriters,
• 19:37
  indie folk, Americana, really interesting stuff.
• 19:42
  Billy Bragg, Wilco, Jeff Tweedy, solo, Hannah Cohen, Joe
• 19:48
  Firestone, you know, Gang of 4, whatever passes for Gang of Four
• 19:55
  kind of fun, looks really fun. Vodkan Metal Battle, which is
• 20:01
  the battle of the bands across the world to play at Vodkan.
• 20:06
  We are media partners of this festival.
• 20:08
  They're every major city in America and all through Europe.
• 20:11
  They just announced some of the rounds.
• 20:13
  New York is taking place March 13th and 14th for the
• 20:17
  preliminaries and then there's sort of a semi finals and a
• 20:20
  finals and then all the bands go up against each other.
• 20:23
  They pick one city and all the bands converge and battle it out
• 20:26
  to get a slot at Vodkan. Cruise to the Edge.
• 20:31
  I usually put cruises in with festivals because it's kind of a
• 20:33
  festival on the water. If you're a nerd and a dork like
• 20:36
  I am and you love progressive rock, Cruise to the Edge 2026
• 20:41
  features Marillion and Steve Hackett.
• 20:43
  Steve Hackett, formerly of Genesis, Big Big Train, Eddie
• 20:48
  Jobson, Symphony X, Adrian Blue, Hawkin, a whole bunch of bands.
• 20:55
  So this looks really like a lot of fun.
• 20:59
  Also, this looks really cool. Dark Lord Day May 16th in
• 21:03
  Munster, IN. I don't know what would bring me
• 21:05
  to Munster IN, but maybe these bands.
• 21:08
  Napalm Death, Midnight Dead Guy, Cramped Sermon and more bands to
• 21:12
  be announced at 3. Floyd's Brewing one of the best
• 21:15
  metal breweries in the world and they're celebrating 10 years
• 21:18
  this year and love those guys. Really good beer.
• 21:21
  I had their beer at Decibel Metal and Beer Festival, so it
• 21:23
  was fantastic. All right, that's all the
• 21:26
  festivals. Let's do some concert news.
• 21:28
  Just a kind of shout out to my local scene.
• 21:32
  The Castro Theatre in the Castro neighborhood of San Francisco is
• 21:36
  an iconic art Deco theatre that has been a movie house for over
• 21:41
  100 years. They celebrated their hundred
• 21:43
  year. They reopened briefly.
• 21:45
  I saw Goblin there plays Suspiria live.
• 21:48
  They had some movies and then they closed down for further
• 21:51
  renovations. And one of the big outlets here
• 21:55
  that promotes concerts, they have Live Nation that has their
• 21:58
  hands and everything. And they have, you know, AEG or
• 22:01
  Access AXS if you buy tickets through them.
• 22:03
  Those are your two biggest things.
• 22:05
  But regionally, Golden Voice and APE are two other ones.
• 22:08
  We mentioned the contest giveaway with Golden Voice.
• 22:11
  Another Planet Entertainment took over the Castro and I think
• 22:15
  they were in the remodel. There was like a vehement
• 22:18
  pushback by the neighbors to like, hey, this needs to
• 22:21
  continue to exist as a movie house.
• 22:23
  So some of the negotiation is that 50 days of the year will
• 22:27
  still show movies, especially indie and queer films and and
• 22:32
  your alphabet folks, because that's the neighborhood.
• 22:34
  Have you ever seen movie milk or the Harvey Milk documentary?
• 22:37
  That's his neighborhood that he represented and is the iconic,
• 22:42
  you know, get, you know, gay neighborhood of I mean, all San
• 22:44
  Francisco is basically an alphabet town.
• 22:47
  But the Castro's wonderful, lovely, great, safe, amazing.
• 22:52
  And so the theater reopened. They have a long residency, a
• 22:55
  month long residency by Sam Smith, maybe not ghost called
• 22:59
  fair, but he's a wonderful singer.
• 23:01
  And then they've been showing the frame line Queer Film
• 23:05
  Festival has been taking over the theater for some off days.
• 23:08
  So I'm just really happy that this theater is back.
• 23:10
  I do hope they have some some more concerts and I hope they
• 23:13
  still have underground movies. It'd be really great to see some
• 23:16
  more stuff there. Ghost continues and we'll be
• 23:20
  wrapping up their Skeletor this weekend in Sacramento tomorrow
• 23:24
  night and LA on Saturday. I will be in Sacramento tomorrow
• 23:27
  night with my girlfriend Melissa to see the show.
• 23:30
  I'll give you a full report later.
• 23:32
  Chad Gray of Mudvane has announced some additional songs.
• 23:36
  Chad Gray playing 30 Years of Madness, playing the songs from
• 23:39
  Mudvane and Hell yeah, the more successful this solo thing is,
• 23:44
  the least the lesser chance there is that Mudvayne will come
• 23:47
  back. Yes.
• 23:50
  Did 9 Inch Nails score queer on? Is that HBO or Netflix?
• 23:54
  Gabe? I think they did.
• 23:57
  Was that that's what's his face? James Blonde.
• 24:01
  James Bond. There is the actor there, Daniel
• 24:06
  Craig. I sell is a concert happening
• 24:11
  this weekend stand with Minnesota benefits show in
• 24:13
  Chicago, Scott Lucas of local age, Deanna Bellows AKA Sincere
• 24:19
  Engineer, Josh Carter, Stubby Panda and Pat Gilroy.
• 24:23
  All proceeds will go to Minnesota relief efforts.
• 24:27
  And I love Scott Lewis of local age.
• 24:30
  She's like a very prominent Twitter person.
• 24:34
  LD50 brother. Yeah, I never got to see the
• 24:36
  Mudvane reunion so I'm really bummed.
• 24:39
  Hopefully it comes back, but I'm not so sure.
• 24:42
  But yeah, Scott Lucas was like, Yep, if you don't like it, fuck
• 24:44
  off. I thought that was wonderful.
• 24:45
  Then Norwood Fisher, the original and Co founding basis
• 24:51
  to Fishbone, is not with the band in their current line up.
• 24:53
  You know, we talked the last few years about Fishbone having kind
• 24:56
  of a separation between Dirty Walter Kibbe and some of their
• 24:59
  original members and Fisher. Fisher is off the band right
• 25:02
  now. Fishbone continues to put out
• 25:05
  new music. They got a new album coming out
• 25:06
  again. So Fisher is doing a Hawaii
• 25:10
  residency with all his different bands that represent different
• 25:14
  parts of his career. So I, you know, if I lived on
• 25:17
  the big islands, I would go. But super fun artwork.
• 25:20
  Kind of looks like a Hokusai, right?
• 25:23
  Tidal wave of Norwood with his one dread and his beard.
• 25:27
  You know the guy in the you've seen me with my Fishbone shirt.
• 25:30
  He invented the claw technique, the slap claw.
• 25:33
  He invented it. I know we were just talking
• 25:34
  about mud vein and the Berber Ding, Berber Ding of everything,
• 25:37
  but you know, Norwood is my man. He is so good, so great, so
• 25:42
  inspirational. Seen him twice.
• 25:44
  Yeah, I love Fishbone. We saw them in 2024 at the No
• 25:51
  Values Festival, which I wish would come back but doesn't seem
• 25:53
  like it will. Dead Pony is a band out of the
• 25:56
  UK rock metal core band. They have a new summer tour.
• 26:01
  They've announced their new album is coming out soon.
• 26:03
  COC has announced dates. They have their brand new double
• 26:07
  album coming out and we will be talking a little bit more about
• 26:11
  COC later in the show, but they have announced UK and European
• 26:16
  dates for later this year. So very exciting stuff for COC,
• 26:19
  one of my favorite bands. This is kind of fun.
• 26:21
  It's the third anniversary of the Punk Rock Museum, which I
• 26:25
  went to in its founding year. Spike and the Gimme Gimmes or
• 26:29
  the All Star cover band of punks.
• 26:32
  Kate Clover, who's kind of like a sincere engineer type artist.
• 26:35
  X Com, which is the band that features Revel Ian, the son of
• 26:40
  Scott Ian and Pearl Eday on drums and a bunch of other
• 26:44
  bands. All dayer in the parking lot to
• 26:46
  celebrate the 3rd anniversary of the Punk Rock Museum.
• 26:50
  I know Rollins is opening a punk rock museum in Nashville.
• 26:54
  Something will have to get me to go to Nashville.
• 26:57
  I wouldn't mind doing like 2 days in Nashville and the punk
• 26:59
  museum. I don't need to be there that
• 27:02
  much. Ricky Rackman, I was talking
• 27:05
  about this last week. He continues his solo 1 foot in
• 27:08
  the gutter. You know, spoken word show
• 27:11
  that's like his one man show talking about his life in music,
• 27:14
  The cat house, Headbangers ball, NASCAR, all the things.
• 27:17
  He rides from city to city on his motorcycle with his partner
• 27:20
  Leah Vendetta. And so Kannapolis, NC this
• 27:26
  weekend, maybe Monday. Sorry.
• 27:28
  So this is ahead of next week case.
• 27:30
  You could go Harrison, OH, West Dundee, IL Milliwaukee, the good
• 27:35
  land. Algonquin for the good land.
• 27:37
  Mahomet, IL. It's in Chicago, Green Bay,
• 27:40
  Bloomington and Wyandotte, MI Good Terms is a rock band.
• 27:46
  Hell, hell to the hell. Yeah.
• 27:48
  Brother Highway to the hell yeah.
• 27:50
  What a weird name. Good Terms has a huge amount of
• 27:53
  tornades coming up. Check them out if you like some
• 27:54
  punk rock. A Mon Clock is kicking off soon.
• 27:57
  Stay tuned for my new interview with Brendan Small.
• 28:00
  Yes, another interview with Brendan Small.
• 28:02
  That guy loves us. We love him.
• 28:04
  I know we've interviewed Death Clock, like more than any other
• 28:06
  band lately, but yeah. Monomark and Death Clock with
• 28:10
  support from Castle Rat coming up this spring.
• 28:14
  Also, the homies in Casket robbery are celebrating 10 years
• 28:18
  of endless of. I can't read what that says
• 28:24
  because I cannot read it, but casket robbery celebrating A and
• 28:27
  their anniversary kicking off in Lincoln, NE soon in March.
• 28:32
  There's VI PS and stuff there. Some of the coolest, nicest
• 28:35
  people ever. We've interviewed them a lot.
• 28:37
  We did a giveaway with them. We've premiered their videos in
• 28:40
  the past. I worked with them also in the
• 28:42
  music business way back in the day.
• 28:45
  I love this. Just because I cannot read this
• 28:47
  poster Butcher and Booking Presents, Gutting North America
• 28:50
  to War to the Vile Embowelment or something, and a bunch of
• 28:56
  other bands. I cannot read 500CC.
• 28:59
  Please help yourselves make clear things.
• 29:02
  Spine Shank Speaking of my 1990s new metal and 2000s new metal
• 29:07
  fascinations, Fine Shank is going on tour and they are
• 29:10
  playing the entire Height of Callousness album which is 25
• 29:14
  years old this year. Holy shit, great band.
• 29:17
  I was a big fan of Strictly Diesel and the Height of
• 29:20
  Callousness. Sebastian Bach once again
• 29:23
  interview coming up soon. He is going on tour, The Party
• 29:27
  Never Ends tour, playing all of his, you know, all of his hits.
• 29:32
  So that's kind of cool. Once again, tip menu reminder
• 29:35
  skeleton, which I haven't heard anything about them in a while.
• 29:39
  I would love for them to make a comeback, but I think like the
• 29:41
  brothers are on the outs and I just don't see that being a
• 29:43
  band. They had kind of a new line up
• 29:46
  with Adam from Wolf Hammer. I don't know if you remember
• 29:48
  that new album was extremely black and heavy.
• 29:51
  I think I gave it a nine and I give very few nines and almost
• 29:54
  no 10s in my whole career as a journalist, but as a big
• 29:58
  skeleton witch fan, man, a shirt and album artwork by John from
• 30:02
  Baroness. Such a killer band.
• 30:04
  Such a killer band. I miss them.
• 30:07
  All right, just a reminder, I don't have any of the products
• 30:09
  with me, but if you want to rock your beard and your hair care
• 30:13

  break under glass. I know we had some website
• 30:49
  problems this week but wasn't Craig Caruso's fault.
• 30:52
  Craig Caruso of Caruso apps, I honestly would not go into
• 30:55
  business without having him and having my back, because it's
• 30:58
  just too crazy to be out there without any help and again this
• 31:01
  except for y'all on TikTok. This is coming to you from the
• 31:04
  magic of stream your rubber band man what's up, what's up, what's
• 31:07
  up good to see you good to see you.
• 31:09
  Thanks for being here and I appreciate you.
• 31:14
  All righty, the best experience for this once again, YouTube,
• 31:17
  Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitch.
• 31:24
  Well, listen, we'll follow you back.
• 31:28
  That's all the things. All right, I'll shrink this down
• 31:31
  a little bit. Let's do the news, the rest of
• 31:34
  the news, the big story. Will they or won't they?
• 31:38
  Arch Enemy announced Lauren Hart, formerly of Once Human, as
• 31:42
  their brand new vocalist put out a kick ass song to The Last
• 31:45
  Breath. Which is kind of funny because
• 31:47
  one of my bands had a song called Last Breath.
• 31:50
  She's an incredible singer, great person.
• 31:53
  I don't know if this clarifies that why Elisa left or not.
• 31:58
  It doesn't really. No questions have been answered.
• 32:00
  I know she started to give some some press about why maybe she's
• 32:04
  out of the band like it, you know, whatever and how it was
• 32:07
  handled, but we just don't know. I mean, Lauren is a very similar
• 32:12
  singer to Elisa. Elisa maybe has, you know, a
• 32:16
  more apparatic voice and Lauren is clearly a lot, you know, like
• 32:20
  equally heavy on the grounds, maybe even a step back toward
• 32:23
  Angela. Several people were like could
• 32:27
  not believe the voice that came out of her.
• 32:29
  Of course people are going to try to sexualize the photos of
• 32:31
  her. They did the same thing with
• 32:32
  Elisa, who does not like that either.
• 32:34
  Angela is the reason Angela retired is because Revolver put
• 32:38
  her in the hottest chicks in metal thing and you know, she
• 32:41
  was really angry about that. She wants to be respected on her
• 32:45
  own merits as a singer and just could not, could not get there,
• 32:49
  but I'm excited. New chapter for Arch Enemy.
• 32:52
  They did announce some tour dates, which I did not mention
• 32:54
  in tour dates, but they have some tour dates in Europe, I
• 32:57
  think a tour date in China, and very excited.
• 33:00
  Like if they're going to take a step back, it's the 25th.
• 33:02
  Like I said, it was the 25th anniversary of Wages Sin this
• 33:05
  year. Maybe they will do that album
• 33:09
  like as a stand alone full album playthrough.
• 33:12
  I think. I know it's kind of trendy or
• 33:13
  whatever, but I think it would be great.
• 33:16
  I don't think they can go on and not do some of the material.
• 33:19
  At least it was in the band for 11 years and four albums and I
• 33:21
  can just ignore that stuff. I will tell you some people
• 33:24
  called me out and we're like, you know, you got it wrong.
• 33:27
  You maybe you should do a thing about it.
• 33:28
  And I was like everybody got it wrong.
• 33:31
  I would say Angela gave us a lot of reason to hope that, you
• 33:34
  know, like you can't fault me as a metal fan for hoping that she
• 33:37
  would return to music. And I will say over the last
• 33:39
  couple of years, she's done 3 or 4 features where she sang.
• 33:43
  She posted a lot of vocal warm ups and stuff on Instagram.
• 33:46
  When she was growling, they tagged her in the post and I was
• 33:52
  like, mate, why? They've never tagged her in a
• 33:53
  post in all these years. They've barely ever.
• 33:56
  They've never tagged her since she's been out of the band now
• 33:58
  they tagged her in a post. So, you know, if we all got
• 34:01
  carried away in the music world and thought maybe she's coming
• 34:03
  back or coming back for a reunion tour, like a hits tour,
• 34:07
  you know, you can't fault me. We all wanted that.
• 34:10
  I, I don't, you know, like I do. I feel bad.
• 34:12
  Do I feel bad? It's part of the game.
• 34:14
  She needs to learn or it's just an excuse.
• 34:16
  You talking about Angela or? I think they did it on purpose.
• 34:19
  I think they tagged her knowing we would all get hype and then
• 34:23
  they had obviously planned. Lauren has been shot a music
• 34:26
  video and recorded a new song. We didn't hear anything about
• 34:29
  the band since their last tour ended last summer.
• 34:32
  So I think they knew what they were doing.
• 34:33
  I'm not mad about it. I'm just I'm just making a point
• 34:36
  that they they did this, you know, they did this.
• 34:41
  They they did this on purpose. There's no question.
• 34:46
  Evil Rob, what's up? What's up?
• 34:47
  Good to see you. It's been a long time in Derek
• 34:49
  Youngs. Ma, what's up?
• 34:50
  What's up? So, yeah, just good luck to
• 34:53
  Lauren. Good luck to arch enemy.
• 34:56
  And again, I think they they all gave us false hope.
• 34:59
  But I'm not mad at them And I don't think people should be mad
• 35:02
  at us fans and journalists because, like, what else am I
• 35:06
  supposed to conclude from that? We had no inkling about who they
• 35:11
  were going to name. Somebody dropped a comment on
• 35:13
  you on our YouTube. That was like, oh, I recognize
• 35:15
  her fingers from the fingerless gloves and her picking up the
• 35:17
  microphone off the floor. Even some of the language in the
• 35:20
  in the teaser post is part of the game.
• 35:22
  Hottest singer. I know.
• 35:23
  She hates that shit, though. She absolutely hated being
• 35:26
  called hot or whatever. You know, she wants to be tough
• 35:29
  and strong and powerful and, you know, not liked because she's
• 35:33
  attractive. But what are you going to do?
• 35:36
  This is really great. So Fat Tuesday was this week in
• 35:39
  February. Mardi Gras is underway in New
• 35:41
  Orleans. It was Fat Tuesday, and
• 35:43
  literally the city was overrun by a group of people dressed as
• 35:48
  Ozzy in black wigs and the little John Lennon sunglasses.
• 35:51
  And this just, like, warms my blackened little heart.
• 35:55
  And this is just so fun and great.
• 35:59
  Think taking LSD got to handle your trip?
• 36:01
  Indeed bro, indeed. But I'm so happy BBC reported on
• 36:04
  this. This photo is from their video
• 36:06
  clip of it. A whole bunch of Aussies took
• 36:09
  over New Orleans. That is drunk Aussies.
• 36:11
  I can't think of a better thing. You know, I know there's a
• 36:15
  petition on to get like an airport renamed for him and
• 36:18
  Aussie day. I really would rather his
• 36:21
  birthday be the Aussie day than his death day.
• 36:24
  Again, I I not to divulge too much here, but I was in therapy
• 36:29
  earlier today and I was talking about my relationship.
• 36:33
  Thanks, Eagle. Rob, I got a beard product from
• 36:35
  Fable beard. If you're down, you know, DM me
• 36:38
  bro. We haven't talked in a long
• 36:40
  time. And I miss you and, and I know
• 36:42
  you're, you know, it's not easy out there.
• 36:43
  I know you might be struggling, but I care about you and you
• 36:46
  know, it's all love, bro. But I wanted to say I was
• 36:49
  talking to my therapist earlier today and I was talking about my
• 36:53
  relationship to people passing away, whether it's heroes or
• 36:55
  family members. And really the most important
• 36:58
  thing, and I learned this from a little bit of religiosity that I
• 37:01
  got driven into me, is that I want to remember people, how
• 37:06
  they lived and honor them when they pass and not make the
• 37:10
  passing of them the the worst part of it, it's bad, it's hard.
• 37:15
  There's there's a rule book, they say there's no rule book
• 37:17
  for dealing with that. There is, you know, it's The
• 37:20
  Five Stages of Grief by Elizabeth Kubler, Ross Meyers
• 37:24
  and Thrace did a whole album about it last year that I love.
• 37:27
  Now he has his revenge. Exactly.
• 37:28
  But you know, I want to remember people, how they lived and that
• 37:32
  they lived and that I was lucky to live in the same time.
• 37:35
  So I lived in the time of David Lynch and Ozzie and Kubrick and
• 37:39
  Poe. Maybe not in his lifetime, but
• 37:41
  you know what I'm saying? I got to experience these things
• 37:44
  that are really meaningful and Kevin Smith even like things
• 37:47
  that are very powerful. And it's far Star Wars and Star
• 37:50
  Trek and everything. Speaking of Star Trek, I did not
• 37:54
  have this on my fucking bucket list for 2026.
• 37:58
  William Shatner has made a metal album with 35 Rock and Metal All
• 38:03
  Stars. What the fuck?
• 38:06
  I know Christopher Lee had a series of metal albums,
• 38:08
  including a metal Christmas album is a huge metal head, and
• 38:12
  he loved Black Sabbath and Priest and stuff like that.
• 38:15
  And Iron Maiden. And Shatner is now putting
• 38:18
  together a metal record with him on vocals.
• 38:21
  There was a picture of him that his daughter took a hymn with
• 38:23
  like a guitar. He looked like the most
• 38:25
  uncomfortable guitar pose I've ever seen ever.
• 38:29
  But like, you know, Shatner had music records in the 70s.
• 38:31
  And I did put like Star Trek in in some of the posts because
• 38:35
  like people don't know who he is by his name, but they obviously
• 38:37
  know his face and his voice. And obviously Star Trek, TJ
• 38:41
  Hooker, Boston Legal, priceline.com.
• 38:45
  Like I can't wait to hear. I hope it's originals, but I
• 38:49
  also hope it's covers. Henry Rollins, Richie Blackmore,
• 38:54
  Zack Wylde, the role on this record.
• 38:55
  A few more people have been announced.
• 38:57
  Cleopatra Records, who has ministry and a bunch of other
• 38:59
  things are homie Steve Zing's bands are on that album.
• 39:05
  But I just can't wait to hear like, you know him in the studio
• 39:10
  with, like, his buddy Rollins, who's a personal friend of his.
• 39:13
  Henry, please get on the mic. And Rocket.
• 39:17
  I love this photo of him. It's like, let's open up this
• 39:19
  Starfleet bass. Yeah, seriously, That's a legit
• 39:23
  story. William Shatner, metal album,
• 39:25
  2026. I didn't, I could not make this
• 39:28
  shit up. But I'm here for all of it.
• 39:31
  And I, and yes, I love Star Trek almost equally to Star Wars.
• 39:35
  I like Star Wars as well. They know me more.
• 39:36
  But I watched so much Star Trek in my life.
• 39:39
  And Battlestar Galactica, the OG and the new one and Space 1999
• 39:43
  and everything else. Red Dwarf Real.
• 39:46
  Geez, no Red Dwarf. Youngblood.
• 39:48
  Youngblood is having like quite the last year of his life.
• 39:52
  I'll pass. Youngblood, who is currently
• 39:55
  about to launch a tour in Europe to support his album Idols that
• 39:59
  came out last year, is dropping a surprise EP tomorrow, Idols 2,
• 40:04
  with six new songs. So I think we're going to get
• 40:07
  like a single in a video, and then that's to promote the tour.
• 40:09
  We'll be probably bringing in the news that overnight.
• 40:12
  But what an interesting time did the collab EP with Aerosmith did
• 40:16
  not like it. Obviously his Grammy win for his
• 40:20
  cover of changes with Nuno Betancourt and Frank Bello and
• 40:23
  two from Sleep Token. Pretty amazing.
• 40:26
  I heard like my first ever someone doing sleep Token at
• 40:28
  karaoke this week and pretty Oh Jorge from my band is here on on
• 40:36
  the Gram. What up, brother?
• 40:37
  I already talked about Lauren as the new singer of Arch Enemy,
• 40:41
  but I was super cool to see you the other night.
• 40:42
  Thank you for those ear buds. I'm going to use them tomorrow
• 40:45
  at Ghost. So yeah.
• 40:47
  Young blood man, Young blood. New EP, big concert tour.
• 40:51
  More stuff coming probably. I know that people seem to not
• 40:54
  like him or finding faults with him.
• 40:59
  I don't know that he's an industry plant.
• 41:01
  I hear that word thrown around so much I don't think it has
• 41:03
  much meaning anymore. But like he sincerely loves rock
• 41:06
  and heavy metal. Ozzy sincerely did love and
• 41:08
  appreciate him. And I think we got to like just
• 41:11
  give him a little bit of a, you know, give him a chance to grow
• 41:15
  into just came out. I saw him years ago and
• 41:18
  Aftershock here in Sacramento nearby near me and he was on
• 41:22
  like a small stage with nobody watching him.
• 41:23
  And like, 4 years later, here he is rocking the ship.
• 41:26
  David Bowie needs to rest in peace.
• 41:28
  I hear you, man. There's two David Bowie records
• 41:30
  coming out for Record Store Day. I'm very excited.
• 41:33
  You're tired of Bowie? Bowie Divers.
• 41:35
  I hear you, bro. A lot of people aping the shit,
• 41:37
  but, like, you know, Bowie covers, Yeah.
• 41:40
  You know, people are going to, you know, just cover their
• 41:44
  heroes forever. All right, moving on.
• 41:48
  This was hella interesting. Failure has a brand new album
• 41:51
  coming out. We knew the last couple years I
• 41:53
  had an interview with Ken of Failure.
• 41:55
  That documentary Every Time You Lose Your Mind is out now with
• 41:58
  Disney Plus and Hulu. Interestingly enough, some of
• 42:01
  the people who were in that documentary are on their new
• 42:04
  album, clearly recorded while they were in the studio.
• 42:06
  So there's a team up song with Hayley Williams, who's a
• 42:09
  paramour, who's a huge fan. Maybe Maynard shows up on this
• 42:14
  album on a track because he loves them and has covered them.
• 42:18
  So super interesting. And a Failure is kind of the
• 42:20
  band that, you know, like should have been Tool big.
• 42:23
  They didn't get that big but because of drugs and things.
• 42:26
  But like Failure is one of my favorite bands.
• 42:28
  So I was super stoked for a new Failure album.
• 42:31
  This was fun. This is like the Brady Bunch
• 42:33
  thing. It looks like Tomahawk is
• 42:35
  reuniting Mike Patton's Tomahawk.
• 42:37
  We see Trevor Dunn and and Patton.
• 42:42
  Patton's been busy. He's been on tour with Mr.
• 42:44
  Bungle. He opened up for Avenged
• 42:46
  Sevenfold in South America. I wonder what he thought of
• 42:48
  them. Probably not much Tomahawk, you
• 42:53
  know, along with phantoms. So these projects that live in
• 42:55
  the minds of people. They had to run and then they
• 42:57
  broke up and like maybe it's time to come back.
• 42:59
  So Tomahawk apparently booking a tour every band but Faith No
• 43:03
  More of Patton is doing so sad. I read that Roddy Bottom book,
• 43:08
  really broke my heart. Yeah, insane and crazy life.
• 43:11
  Exodus is a new song out. They released the title track of
• 43:14
  their upcoming new album Goliath on Napalm Records.
• 43:18
  Really a surprising song. Very heavy and slow.
• 43:21
  Kind of reminded me again of those Rob Dukes Atrocity
• 43:25
  Exhibition A&B albums. Very groove heavy like a slow
• 43:30
  Metallica or Pantera groove machine head even.
• 43:34
  You know Exodus is an originator of thrash.
• 43:38
  If I make. It big, I'm never covering.
• 43:40
  A dead artist. Mark my words.
• 43:41
  I got you, bro. I got you.
• 43:43
  So yeah, Exit is certainly much better than the first song that
• 43:46
  was released. But I really feel like that
• 43:48
  song's like a an intro song. An intro song, yeah.
• 43:51
  Mark my words. I understand what you meant.
• 43:53
  Gabe, 3111. Is an intro song.
• 43:58
  To me it's like half a song, but this Goliath song's a nasty bit
• 44:01
  of work, man. Good for them.
• 44:03
  I'm I'm looking forward to more. Speaking of Tool at Maynard
• 44:06
  Tool, in an interview with Danny Carey, Tool is working on a new
• 44:11
  album. At least they've been writing
• 44:12
  it, and the hope is they're going to have a new album out
• 44:15
  before the end of 2027. And then Danny was like, we
• 44:18
  really like to do the sphere. We've been talking about it, and
• 44:21
  nothing is set in stone, but we'd like to do it.
• 44:23
  When an artist says we'd like to do it, that means discussions
• 44:26
  are being had. Can you imagine Tool doing the
• 44:29
  sphere? I'm already psyched about seeing
• 44:31
  Metallica there. But like, imagine Tool doing
• 44:34
  this fear it's going to be so sick.
• 44:36
  I'm here for it. This photo is worth blowing up
• 44:39
  for a second. This is Tool shot by Isabel.
• 44:43
  Oh, I lost one of my lights because I've been on trying to
• 44:45
  do this show for two hours. Almost done.
• 44:47
  Anyway, Isabel's category shot this thing.
• 44:50
  Look at this fantastic show. One of the rare shots of sort of
• 44:53
  the entire almost the whole band and Maynard kind of hiding in
• 44:56
  the back there, which is dope. All right, let's see.
• 45:01
  This is kind of wild. I don't know if anybody here
• 45:03
  beside me is watching the TV show Industry, but it is
• 45:07
  delicious and evil. It is so fun.
• 45:10
  Judy Collins, Both Sides Now was featured at the end of the
• 45:15
  pivotal episode 6 of the series. There's two more.
• 45:21
  I think there's two more or seven.
• 45:23
  There's two more left, I think. Judy Collins, both sides now,
• 45:27
  was also featured in Mad Men. It's usually used in commercials
• 45:31
  and it was originally written by Joni Mitchell, but it's the
• 45:33
  first song ever Judy Collins recorded.
• 45:35
  Because in the 60s, especially in the 70s, if somebody had a
• 45:39
  hit and you wanted to get a hit too, you put out a cover of
• 45:41
  somebody's hit. I love the original OG Electra
• 45:45
  Records logo and label from the vinyl single.
• 45:49
  Super fun. Let me know if you're watching
• 45:51
  Industry. What a deliciously crazy show.
• 45:55
  Fucking crazy. I love that.
• 45:57
  Show similar to succession Black queen.
• 46:02
  Andrew's not here. We've been talking about this a
• 46:04
  lot. Andrew is not here.
• 46:07
  Dillinger compound reign of Zeus wet up long time no see.
• 46:12
  PJRP is here. So black Queen.
• 46:17
  Is the band from. Steven Alexander, former guitar
• 46:20
  tech of Nine Inch Nails as well as Greg Pucciato of formerly of
• 46:25
  Dillinger's Scape plan and Better Lovers.
• 46:27
  I know there's been some drama online and some stuff coming out
• 46:31
  about Greg. It's not exactly cancelled but
• 46:35
  there's some some weird shit going on.
• 46:38
  And the Black Queen is doing a 10 year anniversary tour for
• 46:43
  Infinite Games. I'm a big fan, I'm so excited.
• 46:46
  Hopefully going to be some more new music later in the year.
• 46:49
  Love the Black Queen. Primus is doing a comic book.
• 46:54
  Graphic novel with Z2 comics for Frizzle Fry.
• 46:58
  Very exciting stuff. Big Primus fan.
• 47:00
  If you know, you know. Primus sucks.
• 47:02
  They don't, but they do. That's their catch phrase.
• 47:07
  Propane is back, one of the New York hardcore.
• 47:09
  Metal juggernauts, just a lot of feels for me in the 90s right
• 47:14
  now. Propane signed the Napalm
• 47:15
  Records announced a new record, Drop the Brutal in a single.
• 47:19
  These guys look like a bunch of like this is the poster for
• 47:21
  Divorced Dads. That's this band.
• 47:23
  If Divorced Dads could be a band, it would be this band.
• 47:26
  But I do love them. This one kind of hurts.
• 47:29
  Meadow Church is a band I grew up listening to.
• 47:32
  Thrash metal, heavy metal, great band.
• 47:34
  They've had the misfortune of having two singers pass away and
• 47:37
  my homie Mark Lopes of Ross, the Boss Band and Let Us Pray was
• 47:41
  singing for them for a couple years, did an album with them
• 47:44
  and then they never toured and they just kind of announced a
• 47:48
  new album and a new band with a new singer who is not my homie.
• 47:52
  So he was kind of blindsided. He didn't find out till they
• 47:56
  made the announcement. I know David Ellison joined the
• 47:58
  band, which is dope, but not too happy with this.
• 48:01
  But I heard the first single. New singer's good, you know,
• 48:04
  just kind of, you know, bad breaks.
• 48:07
  Bad news you. Know My Dying Bride News I know
• 48:10
  Aaron is not coming back to the band.
• 48:12
  That's devastating to me. But they're going to keep going
• 48:15
  with Miko from Swallow the Sun, I guess.
• 48:18
  And Aaron is booking gigs where he's doing My Dying Bride music.
• 48:21
  So now we have 2 My Dying Brides.
• 48:23
  Wonderful. That's what we needed.
• 48:26
  Yay, yay and Hooray. Let's see also also Necro
• 48:35
  Gobble. Con has a new single out and a
• 48:37
  new EP coming out. Melvin.
• 48:41
  'S and napalm. Death not to be outdone.
• 48:43
  Hey Harold, what's up? Thanks for being here on TikTok.
• 48:47
  Not being outdone by their last EP together that sold out
• 48:51
  immediately last year I was so mad.
• 48:55
  They are now doing a full length Savage Imperial album.
• 48:57
  They've done 2 Savage Imperial tours.
• 48:59
  I suspect they'll be a third later this year.
• 49:02
  Melvin's. I knew they were going to drop
• 49:03
  something this year. Really cool.
• 49:05
  Terrible shame, but my dime bride.
• 49:07
  Absolutely bro Harold on TikTok. Tell us what kind of metal and.
• 49:11
  Music you like, if any. And Aaron, Yeah Aaron absolutely
• 49:15
  bro. Also also Sun Don't Shine,
• 49:18
  Probably the album I am most excited for this entire year.
• 49:22
  New song from Sun Don't Shine. Full length album coming out
• 49:25
  soon from our homies at Corpse Paint Records.
• 49:28
  No doubt we will get another interview with Kurt or Weinstein
• 49:33
  or Johnny Kelly or Kenny Hickey. Also also one of my.
• 49:39
  Heroes from the 80s Martha Quinn is celebrating 40 years in radio
• 49:44
  this week W one O 3.7 FM in California.
• 49:50
  So super stoked for her. Everybody from the 80s had a
• 49:53
  crush on Martha Quinn in the early 90s she was the little
• 49:56
  hippie chick sister you wish you could get involved with.
• 50:00
  Omar Corny, the co-owner of Ghost Cult here at Fashion Week
• 50:03
  where he was working tech and Miss Universe, you know her from
• 50:09
  a couple of months ago where she her talent portion of the Miss
• 50:12
  Universe contest was her death metal singing and people like
• 50:18
  what? And she won.
• 50:19
  So she actually appeared at Fashion Week and Omar pulled her
• 50:21
  aside and was like, hey, let's get a photo.
• 50:23
  I have a Met, I have a metal website.
• 50:25
  So maybe you'll be seeing an interview coming soon from
• 50:29
  there, from her and him. That'd be kind of fun.
• 50:32
  So yeah, I just want everybody to see that awesome photo.
• 50:35

• 55:16
  Coc has launched a new website and a web store to promote their
• 55:20
  new album and I got their brand new single.
• 55:24
  It's kind of weird that down and COC put out a single, a brand
• 55:27
  new single on the same day. But corrosion conformity Give me
• 55:29
  some more Moore like Stanton more and the cover of I love
• 55:34
  living in the city by fear, which is one of my favorite punk
• 55:37
  rock bands ever. So first of all, I got this
• 55:41
  koozie run COC, the king of the run like instead of the king of
• 55:47
  rock. And then there's like some rap
• 55:49
  written on the back that it's too dark in here to read now.
• 55:52
