On the 73rd Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom & Zeus welcome back special guest, the host of the Busted Open Radio on Sirius XM and Shout It Out Loudcast Hall Of Famer, Dave LaGreca, to review the 1981 classic ACDC album "For Those About To Rock We Salute You." ACDC was just coming off their major breakthrough album Back In Black with their classic lineup of new singer Brian Johnson, the incredible dual guitars of brothers, Angus & Malcolm Young and the underrated Cliff Williams on bass and Phil Rudd on drums. For Those About To Rock We Salute You made it to #1 on Billboard album charts and eventually went 4 X platinum. This was ACDC's first #1 album led by their title track which even has a video that was in heavy rotation on MTV. This album continued the ACDC formula of guitar rock at its best. The band was becoming legendary and this album cemented them as one of the greatest bands in all of rock history. This was Tom's pick and as usual the boys breakdown and dissect the tracks and rank the songs. They then rank the album and the album cover against the previous albums reviewed on the Album Review Crew. So tune in to find why are we discussing Billy Ocean, CM Punk and Nicole Bass oh yeah and ACDC!

Det här är berättelsen om rockbandet vars raka gitarriff är så stilbildande att det nästan inte går att inspireras av dem utan att låta som en ripoff. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. En varm vind blåser genom de höga björkarna och från dansbanan Cortina i halländska Vinberg hörs livemusik och sorl. Det är en lördagkväll i juli 1976 och utanför står raggarna lutade mot sina bilar och dricker bärs och viftar bort mygg.Framför scenen inne på området står 15-årige Ulf Ahlberg och hans polare. Alla tre lika långhåriga. De slitna jeansjackorna har de slängt över axeln. De flesta som är här ikväll har kommit hit för att dansa pardans till det populära dansbandet Jigs. Men Inte Ulf. Det är istället pausunderhållningen som lockar. Ett för honom helt okänt rockband från Australien. När dansbandet till slut går av scenen tar sig Ulf och hans gäng allra längst fram. Det här ska de se på nära håll.Fem killar, lika långhåriga som Ulf själv, stegar ut på scen. Sångaren greppar micken. Han har bar överkropp och bär väst. Leadgitarristen är klädd i full skoluniform.Sångaren åmar sig och flirtar med tjejerna i publiken. Leadgitarristen kastar sig på golvet och snurrar runt med gitarren i luften. Ljudet är öronbedövande. Ulf bara gapar. Han har varken sett och hört något liknande tidigare. Och det är då det händer. Gitarristen vänder sig om, drar ner skoluniforms-shortsen och böjer sig fram. Ulf Ahlberg befinner sig mindre än en meter från gitarristens nakna röv. – Vi ser ju direkt att de kommer att bli världsberömda.Medverkande: Anders Tengner, Thomas Johansson och Ulf Ahlberg.Programmet gjordes och programleddes av Siri Hill hösten 2025Producent Robin JonssonExekutiv producent Anna JohannessenSlutmix Fredrik NilssonP3 Musikdokumentär produceras av Tredje Statsmakten MediaEn viktig källa i programmet är P1 Specialprogram När AC/DC kom till byn (2021).Ljudklippen i programmet kommer från: Lola da Musica (2001), ABC:s Countdown (1975, 1976, 1977), Arte TV (2017), AXS TV (2024), In The Studio (2024), BBC (1980), SVT: Rapport (1984), SVT:s Svar Direkt (1984), AFN Europe (1984), 60 Minutes Australia (2010, 2020), 7 News Australia (2025) samt Youtubekontona Ben Lamanis (2016) och Live Maniacs (2025).

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, it's basically pop music.On this week's show Steve and Gaz decide to dive deep into the back catalogues of some of their collective favourite artists and pull out a couple of songs that deserve far more love; from The Smashing Pumpkins to AC/DC, via Prince, Daft Punk, Jimmy Eat World and Helmet, we give you some lost, forgotten and unloved gems.Plus there is a lost pop banger from Ja Rule, who got in on the love for Toto very early and was then bullied out of the music scene for it, chat about the mad support artists that Harry Style is bringing out with him this summer and we try and make sense of the BRIT Award's nominees... and fail.
Episode 16 of Toph's Top Five, the 2T&A spinoff sweeping the nation, focuses on group of Aussie alpha dogs which had some incredible song names -- and some actual songs that weren't so shabby either. Angus beef. Top choice cuts. TT5 is back and, this time, we've got the biggest balls of them all.
Mutt Lange: Exceptional Producer When considering artists such as AC/DC, Nickelback, Shania Twain, Foreigner, Bryan Adams, and Def Leppard, along with the Cars, do you ever think of the producers behind them? Does the term "Unique Wall of Sound Vocal Harmonies" resonate with you, or perhaps the four seemingly nonsensical words "Gunter, Gleiben, Glauchan, Globen"? Fortunately, for Kennedy, this signifies one individual: Mutt Lange, the Exceptional Producer. Tune in to Kennedy's Corner to explore Lange's career.
Face the Music: An Electric Light Orchestra Song-By-Song Podcast
After a series of lackluster albums in the second half of the 1980s AC/DC came roaring back in 1990 with The Razors Edge. It gave them a top-40 hit with "Moneytalks" and revitalized their flagging career. It was a while before the next album came out and, when it did in 1995, Ballbreaker sounded like it came from a band and singer that were worn out.

You saw them on ABC News; now meet them on this excting episode.The Reasonable Doubts is a "garage band" of Minnesota judges, created to provide creativity and to relieve stress through making music together. The group has nine members, who come together to enjoy music and foster camaraderie outside of their judicial roles. The Reasonable Doubts was formed about two years ago by Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Anne McKeig, who sent an email to judges across the state inviting them to join her in starting a band. As you will hear, the name "Reasonable Doubts" refers to the legal standard of proof required in criminal cases. The band practices nearly every weekend in St. Cloud, Minnesota, and their repertoire covers genres from country to rock and pop. They perform covers of popular songs, including tracks by Elvis Presley, AC/DC, and Beyoncé. The Reasonable Doubts has participated in various events, including their first public booking at Law Law Palooza, (Get it?) a benefit concert for legal aid, highlighting their commitment to community engagement while also showcasing their musical talents. The Reasonable Doubts band demonstrates how judges can come together to share their love for music, to support each other, and to find balance in their demanding careers. I know from my day job the stress under which judges work --- day and night. The Reasonable Doubts goes a way to relive that stress.Enjoy this episode!

Access Louisville: Heart of the City: Our next live podcast is 4 p.m. Feb. 5. Join us as we talk about development within Louisville's urban core with Lee Weyland, of Core Real Estate, Hank Hillebrand, of the Poe Cos., and Rebecca Fleischaker, of the Louisville Downtown Partnership. Details and registration here.We've unplugged our crystal ball, waited five minutes, then plugged it back in. Surely, now, we'll be able to see the future. As we have the last few years, we start another year of the Access Louisville podcast by making predictions for what we think will happen in the area over the next 12 months. We tackle a large range of topics in our predictions — construction, sports, business trends, bourbon and more. You'll have to listen in on your favorite podcast streaming app to hear all of them but here are just a few to give you a taste: Greater Louisville Inc. will change its name. It's role and collaboration with Louisville Economic Development Authority is being reconsidered, after all.We'll see 10 or more homes sold at greater than $2 million. They have been steadily climbing, including with one coming in around $7 million recently.AC/DC will headline Louder than Life this year? We're all hoping that one is true for the major music festival. A deal will be struct to move JBS Swift out of Butchertown. The neighborhood has changed and developed a lot in the last decade.We've even got a few political predictions. (A gubernatorial bid for Sen. Robert Stivers, perhaps?)Also, more bankruptcies in the bourbon industry? There have been a few in recent years after all.Keep in mind these are just predictions based on familiarity with trends and stories in the area. The predictions show is a favorite Access Louisville tradition. On this week's show we also look back at the predictions we made around this time last year to see what we got right and what we got wrong.Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. It's available on popular podcast services, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Let Us Know What You Think of the Show!Date: January 7, 2026Name of Podcast: Backstage Pass RadioS10: E1: Austin Ingerman (Gunshine) - Gunshine From Sunshine StateSHOW SUMMARY:Big riffs, big hooks, zero apologies. That's the energy we chase with guitarist and songwriter Austin Ingerman of Gunshine, a Florida-born player who balances swagger with sharp songcraft. From Daytona beginnings to LA's Musicians Institute and arena tours as a hired gun, Austin shares how those miles shaped a band built for choruses you can shout and guitars that actually feel dangerous again. We talk origin stories the honest way: how a pandemic pause pushed Austin home, how early tracks came together before a singer was even in the room, and why the search for a voice with an X factor took years. When Jordan walked in from a dueling-piano bar, the chemistry clicked fast. The result is Gunshine's “swampy” identity—Southern edge, modern punch—rooted in influences like Boston, Def Leppard, AC/DC, and a touch of early GNR. The name Gunshine nods to Florida's nickname and the band's sunburned grit, not a retro costume. Songwriting sits at the center. Austin often starts with melodies and riffs captured on voice memos, while Jordan brings a Nashville-honed lyric lens and the number system to keep structures tidy. We break down “Bayou,” which began as Jordan's country-leaning sketch and morphed into a layered modern rocker with a ramping chorus. The home-studio pipeline is real: tracks built in Austin's space, files shipped to Chris Collier for mix and master, and a sound that still hits like a room full of amps. Theory helps in the background—tension, resolution, the occasional Mixolydian wink—but the rule is feel first. Grand Rising, a 13-song album, arrives with more colors: piano textures, heavier corners, and a stealth seven-string thickening the choruses without stealing the spotlight. We dig into touring momentum after a successful run through venues like the Whisky and Sturgis, plus the realities of booking while transitioning agencies. Austin's parting wisdom is pure working-musician truth: pick one job a day, finish it well, and let the songs lead everything else. If you crave straight-ahead rock with big melodies and no filler, hit play, follow Gunshine on socials, and watch for the first single on January 23.

Roque, de 18 años, padece parálisis cerebral. Nace sin vida, con solo un 20% de masa cerebral, pero posee un coeficiente intelectual de 131 y una actitud vital envidiable. Pasa por 50 operaciones, incluyendo una muy dura con martillos y sierras en las piernas, y fallece dos veces en quirófano; la última, a los siete años, donde tiene una experiencia cercana a la muerte viendo a sus bisabuelos. Siempre se muestra orgulloso de sus cicatrices, que considera "heridas de guerra". Es un gran aficionado al rock, amigo del Pirata de Rock FM y conoce a Brian Johnson de AC/DC. Su lema es "actitud positiva siempre", un mensaje que comparte a través de sus redes sociales "Soy Rockstar", donde inspira a personas que pasan por momentos difíciles. Su abuelo Pablo, quien se jubila con su nacimiento, lo describe como una bendición y se mantiene en forma para cuidarle. Roque valora mucho a su familia, especialmente a su madre y su abuelo.

The Animal Rescue Podcast: what you always wanted to know but didn’t know who to ask
This week I talk with Monica (pen name Leokadia George), author of a 4-book children's series about Trumpet, a "miracle" Mexican gray wolf at the Wolf Conservation Center in New York. Monica shares insights into the center's breeding programs for critically endangered wolves, creative conservation partnerships with ranchers (including AC/DC-playing drones as deterrents), and how her storytelling approach—with 50% of book royalties supporting conservation—demonstrates the powerful connection between literature and real-world wildlife protection efforts. To learn more about wolf conservation you can check out @wolfconservationcenter on social media or at www.nywolf.org.

Todd Snyder joins the show for a "Rock Talk" segment that unwraps the darker side of the 90s.

You follow Demetri Papanicolau's winding path from Fidelity financial consultant to full-time booking agent and working musician, discovering how taking risks, saying yes to scary gigs, and learning from every stage moment shaped his career. You hear how singing AC/DC and Zeppelin in high school, drilling Beatles harmonies, and navigating the evolution from originals to covers built the chops he still relies on today. As you ride through stories of surprise band formations, COVID-era pivots, and the birth of Rotten Apple, you're reminded that you must Always Be Performing, even when the gig you expected turns into something entirely different. You also step inside Demetri's world at Notso Costley Productions, where booking is equal parts diplomacy, coaching, and reading the room. He breaks down what venues actually want, what musicians consistently get wrong, and how reliability wins more than draw. You learn how he balances the needs of solos, duos, trios, and full bands; why non-verbal communication and a good hang matter; how to build an EPK that gets you on a roster; and what happens when rates rise across the scene. Through it all, Demetri shows how being both booker and performer lets him guide bands and venues toward smoother nights, stronger partnerships, and gigs that keep everyone coming back. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 512 – Monday, December 15th, 2025 December 15th: National Cupcake Day Guest co-host: Demetri Papanicolau from Notso Costley Productions NAMM coming up!

The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
What happens when country headlines collide with hard radio data and a lightning-rod debate about replacement singers? We open strong with legacy-name scandals and the messy myths that follow artists, then pivot to why High Road became the most-played track and how Morgan Wallen still blankets the airwaves. From Garth Brooks saluting KISS to arena tours and heartfelt tributes, we trace the lines between genre, showmanship, and what actually moves listeners to hit replay.We get honest about a stat no one likes: only five songs by women cracked country radio's top 50 this year, and most were features. Is that bias, taste, or risk-aversion? We unpack the label incentives, production choices, and fan habits that tilt playlists toward male voices—and where the breakthroughs really happen when women lean into sharper narratives and bolder arrangements. If you're a programmer, artist, or fan who wants more balance, you'll find practical takeaways to nudge the system forward.Then we light the fuse: name a replacement singer better than the original. The board fills with ACDC's Brian Johnson, Journey's Steve Perry, Van Halen's Sammy Hagar, and Queen with Adam Lambert. We separate technical upgrades from cultural fits and show how casting can redefine a band's destiny—just as it can in country.Episode LinksScotty Simpson: https://jayfranze.com/episode3/Jim Cristaldi: https://jayfranze.com/episode27/Bob Bullock: https://jayfranze.com/episode28/Dave Jackson: https://jayfranze.com/episode53/William Lee Golden: https://jayfranze.com/episode72/Billie Jo Jones: https://jayfranze.com/episode98/Dalila Mya: https://jayfranze.com/episode102/Mark Badolato: https://jayfranze.com/episode140/Eugene Rice: https://jayfranze.com/episode170/Send us a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Contact: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Services: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Books: https://jayfranze.com/books/ Merchandise Merchandise: https://jayfranze.com/merchandise/ Support Support: https://jayfranze.com/support/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/
We roll into our 80s hard rock showdown, where we put ACDC's Back in Black, Van Halen's 1984, and Guns N' Roses' Appetite for Destruction under the brightest light we know: track-by-track comparison. Jump meets It's So Easy; Panama squares off with Nightrain; Hot for Teacher tangles with Paradise City. The fun isn't just the score—it's how those matchups rewire your nostalgia.From there, we zoom in on live recordings that changed how we hear legends: Elton John's 1970 trio storm on 17-11-70, and The Doors' final Jim Morrison concert, a difficult night for him by all accounts, that closes on the aptly chosen "The End."Minute with Jimmy unwraps the shockingly modern birth of Little Richard's Tutti Frutti—those opening syllables were a drum part first—and why 1955 still sounds like tomorrow. We close on the Jim Carroll Band's People Who Died, a song that once felt like pure punk adrenaline and now reads like a roll call of lives that shaped us. If you love rock history, live albums, and the way songs become landmarks, you'll feel right at home.Learn Something New orRemember Something OldIf you enjoyed the show, follow, rate, and share it with a friend.

And finally, I'm diving into one of my favorite passions — architecture. The buildings, the lines, the design choices that shape the world around us and inspire me every day. Let's get into it.

When you hear the term “superproducer,” names like George Martin, Quincy Jones, Max Martin, Pharrell Williams or Missy Elliott might come to mind. But … Robert “Mutt” Lange? Probably not. Yet Lange was by some measures the biggest hitmaker—the producer of more top-selling albums than any of those better-known producers. The South African studio wiz crafted the arena-rock sound of AC/DC and Def Leppard. Then, Lange transformed the Cars, Billy Ocean, Bryan Adams, and Shania Twain into fist-pumping stadium-fillers, too.
