Middle-Aged Metal-Heads

This week we met with prolific author, Martin Popoff, to discuss his latest tome "Hallowed By Their Name -- The Unofficial IRON MAIDEN Bible" and it is awesome. Come get some

it was 1982 and Mettalllliccccca was making that early break. Along with some bands you may have never even heard of. Wacky.

Any band with enough records has a few juicy morsels if you can just get them out. . .

Those songs you love all in one place. K-Tel's Hard and Not Heavy. The greatest hits of Metalheads everywhere to listen in their basements when nobody else is around. Sshhhhhhh!Your secret is safe with us. Middle Aged Metal Heads

You remember 1995? Neither do we.

I want to play a game. You are surrounded by music from the mid to late 80s. Choose your weapon. The clock is ticking

It's that time of year where we go head-to-head to head. Special guest Matt Troy gives us the odds breakdown. Go birds

Oh NO! Tears are falling! really. It was 40 years ago and where were you, young man?

Bottle that sound. Bring it back. But make it better. DONE. DONE. DONE.

when you're this old, there's no quit in you.

TRIGGER WARNING! heyo folks the world has become super political but we're old enough to remember when metalheads didn't support politicians or authority figures. We're going back and pushing forward. Let's get back to being the real deal.

Hotter than H. E. Double Hockey-sticks?! That's pretty hot. I mean HAWTTTT and what's possibly hotter than that? DUnno. Special Week in Metal to appease the masses. We poured our hearts, soul, blood, and sermon into this one. Dig in.

When you think of candy, ghouls, and goblins. . . I'm sure the first thing that springs to mind is FASTWAY featuring Fast Eddie Clarke and somehow Pete Way. Right? Maybe not. Ozzy? Gene? Skippy? There we go. Skippy. Well, skip on over and give us a listen. Hail Satan.

We managed to convince Courtney Cox, guitarist for Burning Witches, to visit the pod and talk a bit about the new record and tour as well as some other experiences. Super cool!

Like a warm bowl of soup on a Sunday morning. A hot coffee in the afternoon. A kitten cuddled on your lap. Joey telling his tales of yore. Comfort, people. We need comfort. Is that so shocking?

Oh babbbbbyyyyyyy we loooooooove our listeners and their questions. So much, Imma sing a song about it

I mean, who has ever heard this record before? A lotta people apparently. Is it good? Bad? Ugly? ALL THREE?!

Our friends Against Evil are back to talk about their new record which KICKS ASSSSSSSS. Come hear all about it, get a few sneak peeks and see what the lads have on the horizon!

It's been 40 years and they are still at it and going strong! Who knew? Lots of people apparently. Michael Sweet sits in the chair and answers our questions about the anniversary tour and more! Get your tickets and check out that new record while you're at it! YELLOW AND BLACK ATTACK!

We've dipped our toes in the shower wad of hair metal a bit much lately so we figured we'd go a little harder in the paint. With everyone's favorite bemasked singing spectacle, King Diamond and Mercyful Fate. Let's GO.

Who wouldn't want to meet the dashing, cool, and handsome singer of one of the 80's greatest bands? C'mon it's MIKE TRAMP. Still cooking. Still playing. STILL HAWT so hide your girls hide your wives

Don't you miss those Friday evenings with the kids? Gathered around on the shag carpet drinking soda and having chips while we pick our pieces and gather for a night of fun and festivities with our favorite people? It was awful. Pretty sneaky sis. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mametalcast/message

Middle-aged metal-heads are people who grew up listening to heavy metal music and still enjoy it in their middle age. They are often nostalgic about the bands, albums, concerts, and experiences they had in their youth, and they share their passion with other metal fans of their generation. Some of them also create podcasts, blogs, or social media groups to discuss and celebrate all things metal. For example, you can listen to the Middle-Aged Metal-Heads podcast, or join their Facebook group, where they talk about their favorite metal bands, songs, videos, and memories. They are proud of being part of the greatest generation of metal fans. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mametalcast/message
