D&D Classic Rock and Roll Chat

The Alice Cooper album simply titled "Road" was released in 2023. It was initiated as an album to highlight the sound of Alice Cooper's current Touring Band. Cut live in studio with no overdubs, the result is another enjoyable entry in the extensive Alice Cooper Catalog. We also, touch base on another podcast with an episode featuring an Alice Cooper experience, that is also worth the listen. #ddclassicrock #podcast #rockon #alicecooper #roadSpotify Playlist Link:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2HgP1PVFlx3q7Auv9ONIbB?si=TiXlhcakSguYvLCd3Hf78A

Billy Idol is back with his first new full-length album in over a decade. The result is an album that serves up enough classic Billy Idol sound, while not taking too many new risks, with a few of Billy's musical buddies contributing on a few of the tracks. #ddclassicrock #podcast #rockon #billyidol #dreamintoitSpotify Playlist Link: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1zgJ06xlYMajGiUls9b3zO?si=a7hFXRfIQ4qsreQef2cT4A

Slash brings in some rock and blues musician friends to make a blues rock covers album.

The Van Halen...Van Hagar Years, for many years were shelved after "The Breakup Number Two" between Sammy Hagar and the Van Halen Brothers. However, in 2023 The Van Hagar Albums finally...FINALLY received the re-master treatment in "The Collection II". The result is a mostly satisfying box set, especially for the album "5150". While Sammy and Eddie reconciled a bit before Eddie Van Halen's passing in 2020, you get the feeling this re-release could've been better if they had collaborated on this release together...at the very least they would've stopped some...well...dumb creative decisions that came with the release. Overall, still a great re-release...IT'S 5150 TIME!!! #ddclassicrock #podcast #vanhalen #vanhagar #redrocker #eddievanhalen #thecollectionII #redrocker - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1YgtUHBiRYuoeqfdfxwcVz?si=50bqMfCCT06LeKwXna-58Q

We are back!!! With a new episode format forced upon us, that we had to adapt and evolve to, we finally crossed that finish line to be back with you with new DDCR!!! This time The Dude gives his take as he dives into U2's "Songs of Surrender". A reimagined album by U2 featuring a good portion of their biggest hits. #SONGSOFSURRENDER #U2 #U2SONGSOFSURRENDER #ddclassicrock #podcast - SPOTIFY PODCAST EPISODE PLAYLIST: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5u797VcdtdzZ380Tp8uVXB?si=LXqtLWjkTBaDpkaKgrzz7w

The Dude Dives into another 6-Pack of Vaulted Pleasures. Hoping I can figure out where the time went since the last dive with Zep, Bryan Adams and friends have love on the mind, No Doubt says enough talking, so lets simmer up to this latest six with Traffic, and many more!!! #ddclassicrock #podcast #rockandroll #rockon --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ddclassicrock/message

EVH and Van Halen was an influence in both our upbringings. So after we heard about Eddie leaving us far too soon, we decided to reflect and discuss the guitarist for the ages. #eddievanhalen #evh #vanhalen #vanhagar #ddclassicrock

The Eagles are missing one of their captains whom was lost all too soon in Glenn Frey, but in the current line-up from 2017 on, his son Deacon has been filling in for his father. This album shows that Deacon can stand on his own talents while he performs the classic song "Take It Easy". Speaking of easy, it's easy to see why Don Henley brought in Vince Gill to be part of the current line-up with his vocals on "Take It To The Limit", and co-lead guitar Steuart Smith hits all the notes on the band's biggest hits. Take the ride with the current line-up at The Forum for what it is and Take It To The Limit....One More Time. #ddclassicrock #THEEAGLES #DONHENLEY #JOEWALSH #VINCEGILL #DEACONFREY #THEEAGLESATTHEFORUM

We have been teased about the Wildflowers Expanded Edition...B-Sides...Rough Cuts, whatever you wish to call it for years from the late great Tom Petty. This week we got another taste of what should be a full release later this year with an acoustic version of one of Tom Petty's all time great solo songs. Not a bad treat this Independence Week and Independence Day! Oh and yes...I have a clip of it loaded that plays immediately following my podcast for those eager to hear part of the cut...if you happen to be listening on Anchor's Host Site! #tompetty #wildflowers #ddclassicrock

The Dude Dives back into the Kelly Hansen and Lou Gramm discussion as the lead singers for the band "Foreigner" over the years. Yes there was a third sprinkled in for a short time, but these two have dominated the lead singer role of the line-up. My follow-up is that Foreigner created the perfect transition to the relevancy of it's past and future. #foreigner #lougramm #kellyhansen #mickjones #ddclassicrock #foreignerband

Bruce Springsteen is a music icon, but as he says in his pages of the memoir “Writing about yourself is a funny business…But in a project like this, the writer has made one promise, to show the reader his mind. In these pages, I’ve tried to do this". Well The Dog gets to dig into this funny business of Bruce Springsteen in this memoir and give his thoughts as well as sneaking in his recollection of the time he got to meet The Boss himself. The memoir covers everything from of course the music through family, but The Dog covers what may be absent as well. #brucespringsteen #theboss #borntorun #ddclassicrock 

The Dude and The Dog dive into a review of the Eddie Money EP "Brand New Day", released less than a year after his passing. A solid EP, but will we ever see the other tracks that were originally previewed to be part of a supposed full length final album??? Plus we share our concert going experience to one of The Money Man's last touring stops. Give the release 4 out of 5 stars, for what was able to be released on the EP. #eddiemoney #brandnewday #ddclassicrock #themoneyman

Pearl Jam come out with a new album seven years in the making. The Dude & The Dog discuss our thoughts on the new tracks and where they fit in along the Pearl Jam timeline of sound. Not an old school album, but a solid album. We give it a 3 to 3.5 stars out of 5 stars. #pearljam #ddclassicrock #gigaton (Forgive any social distancing audio technical hiccups)

The Dude invites the wifey back for a podcast more than a year after her first run. We dive into a playlist of songs that were on the brain during the current stay at home orders. Be Safe! #ddclassicrock #elo #electriclightorchestra #philcollins #pinkfloyd #toddrundgren #theproclaimers #simpleminds #georgethorogood #brucespringsteen #foofighters #vanhalen #redrocker #sammyhagar #anchorpodcasts #anchor.fm The List 1.

The Dude Dives into ten random songs that struck a chord during these days of social distancing, since we've likely all had more time to crank up some tunes lately. The power of music is always a wonderful distraction! Rock On! #pearljam #allmanbrothersband #rollingstones #bbking #U2 #ThePoliceBand #sammyhagar #redrocker #pinkfloyd #stevemillerband #fleetwoodmac #reospeedwagon #ddclassicrock The List 1.

This Dive seem appropriate given that Genesis recently announced a reunion tour with the Collins, Banks, and Rutherford lineup and we just finished a top ten on their ex lead-man Peter Gabriel. They had fun in their hey day and I dive in to my top ten of this era of Genesis. #genesis #mikerutherford #tonybanks #philcollins #genesisband #ddclassicrock My Genesis Top 10 List 1. Land of Confusion 2. Invisible Touch 3. I Can't Dance 4. Turn It On Again 5. Just a Job To Do 6. Misunderstanding 7. That's All 8. Paperlate 9. Throwing it All Away 10. Home By The Sea

The Dude is diving into a Top 5 for St. Paddy's Day and we've got some songs about drinking and dancing, while taking into account the current state of the world right now with the Corona Virus Epidemic. Promise no Carona Beer jokes in this podcast, but I might have been safe with a Guinness one. #ddclassicrock #motleycrue #aerosmith #doobiebrothers #alicecooper #acdc Segment Playlist: 1. Doobie Brothers - Listen To The Music 2. AC/DC - Have a Drink on Me 3. Alice Cooper - School's Out 4. Motley Crue - Home Sweet Home 5. Aerosmith - Baby Please Don't Go (Cover)

What might be the final entry in the HLN catalog (although we hope not), what's delivered is an enjoyable ride with the variety we've come to expect from Huey and The Band. Coming in at about 26 minutes and seven tracks (that the band were able to lay down before Huey Lewis's Meniere's Disease progressed to the point where he couldn't perform or record any longer), it offers everything from Rhythm & Blues, Pop Rock, Classic Rock, Oldies, and even some Country/Folk sound. Enjoy the ride and keep it on the repeat play loop!!! "I'm playing with my friends Until the music ends..." The Dude's Score is 4.5 out of 5 Stars!!! Album Picks (The Whole Freakin' Thing!!! , but if I have to pluck a few) 1.While We're Young 2. Her Love Is Killin' Me 3. I Am There For You 4. Remind Me Why I Love You Again #ddclassicrock #hueylewis #hueylewisandthenews #weatheralbum

Do you enjoy Peter Gabriel's Progressive Rock? What is your go to song of his? Well here is my Top 10 List of Peter Gabriel Songs. #petergabriel #ddclassicrock #gabriel #sledgehammer #dantebichette My PG Top 10 List 1. Sledgehammer 2. Solsbury Hill 3 In Your Eyes 4. Red Rain 5 Shock The Monkey 6. Steam 7. Digging In The Dirt 8. That Voice Again 9. I Don't Remember 10. Come Talk To Me

A good Who entry, but not a great Who Entry. The album is solid for about two-thirds of its course before it fades a tad. Still a decent entry for The Who discography and not a bad one for what is likely the last entry officially tagged as a Who album. #ddclassicrock #thewho #who Album Picks 1. All This Music Must Fade 2. Ball and Chain 3. I Don't Wanna Get Wise 4. Street Song

Great new album from Jeff Lynne's ELO!!! A lot more variety than his previous entry and some tracks that cling on to you right away! As one of the tracks lyrics state "C'mon Baby Time to Rock N' Roll"!!! #ddclassicrock #jefflynne #ELO #jefflynneselo #fromoutofnowhere Album Picks (The Whole Freakin' Thing!!! , but if I have to pluck a few) 1. From Out of Nowhere 2. One More Time 3. Sci-Fi Woman 4. Time of Our Life

John Fogerty brings a easy flowing and easy listening live album on this release at one of the greatest concert venues in the world!!! The arrangements are great and it's such a joy to listen to, it's almost unbelievable the experience is over when the album comes to an end. Don't understand in the least why the album got knocked a tad online, other than maybe the people reviewing wish they could have as many recorded live experiences as Fogerty. #johnfogerty #ddclassicrock #50yeartripliveatredrocks Album Picks (The Whole Freakin' Thing!!! , but if I have to pluck a few) 1. Suzie Q 2. Born on the Bayou 3. Bad Moon Rising 4. The Old Man Down The Road

Another Segment of the "Deep Dude" portion of our podcast. This time its a Top 10 list of best songs by The Eagles, tying in as a tribute to my father-in-law whom we recently lost. I'm sure The Dude's list may look different from yours and my father-in-law's, as his favorite Eagles song does crack my Top 10, but is not Number One on this list. (Note: Music Playlist via post podcast available only certain host sites.) #theeagles #eagles #ddclassicrock Segment Playlist: 1. Take It Easy 2. Hotel California 3. One Of These Nights 4. Life In The Fast Lane 5. Lyin' Eyes 6. Those Shoes 7. The Long Run 8. Peaceful Easy Feeling 9. Get Over It 10. Take It To The Limit

Another Segment of the "Deep Dude" portion of our podcast. This time The Dude takes his trip down memory lane of his wedding day and reception as we approach the anniversary seven years later…why am I itching, HA! Because of course The Dude had Classic Rock as part of the day!

This is the summer album of 2019 to crank as you're chilling by a fire-pit, cruising on a sunny day, grilling, or popping a few cold ones on a patio somewhere!!! What a great rock album and concept album on top of it! After listening to this, while the Red Rocker says this is probably his last...you have to hope he's got one more left in him!!! Sammy and The Circle make one hell of a solid line up of a band!!! #sammyhagar #thecircle #sammyhagarandthecircle #redrocker #spacebetween #ddclassicrock Album Picks (The Whole Freakin' Thing!!!) 1. Devil Came to Philly 2. Full Circle Jam (Chump Change) 3. Can't Hang 4. Wide Open Space 5. Free Man 6. Bottom Line 7. No Worries 8. Trust Fund Baby 9. Affirmation 10. Hey Hey (Without Greed)

A solid album with a lot of great guest stars and brings more of the post Eagles Felder rock sound that you expected on his last release Road To Forever in 2012. His voice can be hit or miss for some people, but he can still crank out an album worth the listen in his early 70's. #donfelder #ddclassicrock #americanrocknroll Album Picks (Not in order of preference). 1. American Rock "n" Roll 2. Charmed 3. Hearts On Fire 4. Rock You 5. Limelight

In this special segment of Deep Dude...Some songs that remind me of my and what ended up being our family's short haired pointer Champ for nearly 14 years. Now some of these songs may spark memories based on the meaning of the song, or maybe its just a lyric, a rhythm, a beat, or just the title. Whatever the reason, they stir up some great memories of a dog that was one of a kind and born to rebel! #champ #ddclassicrock #tompetty #tompettyandtheheartbreakers #bobseger #bobsegerandthesilverbulletband #theeagles #queen #reospeedwagon #aerosmith #judaspriest #acdc #pinkfloyd Segment Playlist: 1.

AC/DC - Hells Bells

We all have our favorite rock cover songs by artists. Some covers are great, some covers should never be attempted, and in some cases the original rock song should never be approached for a cover recording in the first place. D&D discuss some of our favorite and not so favorite covers. Sometimes artists can take an original song by another artist and OWN IT, or they can THRASH IT!!! #beatles #aerosmith #jimihendrix #bobdylan #aarows #joanjett #poison #grandfunkrailroad #thinlizzy #everclear #hueylewis #ddclassicrock Episode Playlist: 1.

In this segment of Deep Dude we quickly explore and confirm if Foreigner's Feels Like The First Time is about making love or falling in love. Either way, this is a great classic rock song that works so well in a variety of mixes and through the lineup changes over the years. #foreigner #ddclassicrock #kellyhansen #lougramm #mickjones Segment Playlist: Foreigner 1.

The latest Deep Dude segment, discussing how after Lou Gramm's departure from the band, that Foreigner was basically dead. Until Kelly Hansen arrived, owned the history of Foreigner, and has the band rockin' with Mick Jones to this day.

The Dude discussing the relevance of the Huey Lewis and the News hit "The Power of Love" to this day, how it resonates with him, and how it brings reminders to all of what's important in life. Ok, and there's some "Back to the Future" facts mixed in, since the song will always be tied to the classic movie. Hope everybody finds the happiness in their lives...feel the power of love!!!

The Dude's Random Thoughts about the evolution of the band Styx and how Dennis DeYoung had to leave to allow the band to rock on!

We all have to get hooked at some point in our lives to the music that drives and inspires us through our lives.
