Episode 5: Work It OutThis week, your Regarding…Slang hosts Wolfie, Scotzo, podcasting overlord Corey, and Chaz welcome back Van Halen expert David "Loud Dave" Criblez from the Dave and Dave Unclained podcast, as they tackle Def Leppard's second single from Slang: "Work It Out."It's straight into why this Vivian Campbell-penned track might be Def Leppard's most commercial underrated gem—or at least the one song that proves Joe Elliott doesn't need to hit the stratosphere to sound great.The song itself? Written entirely by Vivian Campbell, it sits perfectly in Joe's lower register and strips away the signature Mutt Lange production sheen for something that feels like you're watching the band rehearse. It's got industrial touches without going full Nine Inch Nails, a 40-second instrumental section that lets the music breathe, and lyrics about actually working through relationship problems instead of just rocking out or walking the effin dog or taking out the trash...This episode features:

When Capitol Records' Next Quiet Riot Vanished Into Thin AirEver wonder what happens when a dream team of rock royalty assembles to create the perfect 80s metal album—only to watch it disappear during the mastering process? Icon's Night of the Crime is the Phoenix-born tragedy that sits at the very top of the “could have, should have been huge” list, featuring Eddie Kramer behind the boards, Ron Nevison on the mix, and Bob Halligan Jr. crafting radio-ready hooks that Kerrang! Magazine would later rank as the third greatest AOR album of all time.In this deep dive, the Dig Me Out crew unpacks one of metal's most fascinating “what if” stories—a Capitol Records release that had everything: sophisticated songwriting with clever half-time dynamics, dual guitar harmonies that rivaled the best AOR bands, and a powerhouse vocalist in Stephen Clifford who could hit impossible octaves while maintaining that essential metal grit. But just as the album was ready for its 1985 MTV conquest, Clifford walked away during mastering, taking Icon's shot at stardom with him and leaving behind a perfectly crafted 40-minute mystery.If you're fascinated by the intersection of professional songcraft and metal authenticity—think Def Leppard's Pyromania meets Journey's sophistication with the edge of early Quiet Riot—this episode reveals why geography, timing, and band chemistry matter as much as talent in the unforgiving world of 80s rock radio.Episode Highlights:0:00 – Tournament Results – How Icon beat Ozzy in a listener poll tie-breaker9:53 – The Eddie Kramer Factor – Why Jimi Hendrix's producer took on a Phoenix metal band12:17 – The Vanishing Singer – Stephen Clifford's mysterious exit during mastering18:05 – Sophisticated Metal Dynamics – Breaking down Icon's clever use of half-time and strategic pauses25:33 – AOR Meets Metal – How Icon straddled the line between commercial appeal and hard rock edge29:10 – Bob Halligan Jr.‘s Hooks – The song doctor's six co-writes that should have been hits38:00 – Perfect Timing Gone Wrong – Why 1985 was Icon's window between Pyromania and Hysteria52:00 – Phoenix Geography Problem – How being 400 miles from the Sunset Strip hurt Icon's chances1:00:34 – Final Ratings – Two “Worthy Albums” and one “Better EP” verdict on this lost classicReady to discover your next obsession in overlooked 80s metal perfection?

For the week ending August 27, 1983, the Billboard Hot 100 was loaded with some of the most iconic songs of the decade. At the top, The Police were wrapping up their legendary run with “Every Breath You Take” before yielding to a new wave of contenders. Hot on their heels, Eurythmics' synth-driven “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” was climbing fast, while Michael Sembello's “Maniac” was burning up the charts thanks to the Flashdance craze. The rest of the Top 10 offered a mix of pure 80s variety: Donna Summer's “She Works Hard for the Money”, Men at Work's “It's a Mistake”, and Taco's quirky “Puttin' on the Ritz” stood alongside classic rock staples like Stevie Nicks' “Stand Back” and Billy Joel's “Tell Her About It.” Further down the list, radio was buzzing with Lionel Richie, Culture Club, Duran Duran, Def Leppard, and Journey—all proving that pop, rock, R&B, and new wave were all thriving together. On this week's podcast, Rob and Dave will dive into the chart and each pick a personal favorite. The fun twist is in their contrasting styles: Dave leans into the big anthems and timeless pop moments, while Rob often digs a little deeper, spotlighting tracks that might not have hit No. 1 but still capture the spirit of the era. Together, they'll break down what makes these songs stand out—whether it's the infectious hooks, the MTV-ready videos, or the way the tracks still hold up decades later. By the end, listeners will get not only a countdown snapshot of late-summer '83, but also two very different perspectives on which hits truly defined that moment.

Episode 4: All I Want Is EverythingThis week, your Regarding…Slang hosts Wolfie, Scotzo, podcasting overlord Corey, and Chaz are joined by Michael Pastore as they tackle one of Def Leppard's saddest turns into balladry: “All I Want Is Everything.”Before the song even spins, the guys detour through RushFest Toronto stories, bot-spam in the DMs, and a full-on Chazgasm about why Joe Elliott should get more credit as a lyricist. From there, things go off the rails: Corey calls the track “U2-like” and “Tom Petty-esque,” which is basically the podcasting equivalent of pushing Kevin Brown off a cliff in a straight-jacket. Somewhere out there, Kevin's ears are bleeding while Chaz argues this is a dirge, Wolfie swears it's hopeful, and Michael Pastore just wants to call it a breakup song.The song itself? A stripped-back, unusually sad moment in the Slang experiment, or even the entire Def Leppard catalog, with Joe saying it's about “birth, death, and divorce” while Rick Savage once claimed it was about a man dying of AIDS. Whatever the truth, there's no sugar or sparkle—just regret, grief, and one of Leppard's rawest ever recordings.This episode features:

BT and Sal engaged in a fiery debate about which feat is more difficult: pitching in the MLB with one hand like Jim Abbott or drumming for a legendary rock band with one arm like Def Leppard's Rick Allen. The discussion, sparked by a caller who is a drummer himself, highlighted the incredible coordination required for both tasks. While Sal initially leaned toward Abbott's pitching as the more difficult challenge, the conversation delved into the intricacies of drumming, with its simultaneous demands on all four limbs, making a strong case for Allen's rhythmic genius. The segment was a captivating mix of sports, music, and the remarkable human ability to overcome adversity.

Here are the most popular responses: "House of Cards" . . . "One of the best shows ever for the first few seasons, and then ended in the most disappointing fashion ever." (They did have to deal with writing Kevin Spacey out of the show, due to his legal issues.)"Grey's Anatomy" . . . "It's a great show, but it's just so repetitive: Same medical conditions, same plots, same everything." "Shameless" . . . "It was 10/10 for several seasons, but got harder to watch the longer it went on.""American Horror Story" . . . "Each season gets worse than the one before.""The Walking Dead" . . . "It overstayed its welcome to the point that it inadvertently erased itself from the mainstream consciousness." It sounds like almost EVERYONE finally bailed at the same time. (When Glenn died.)"That '70s Show" . . . "By the final season, it was almost unwatchable.""Game of Thrones" . . . "Went from peak cinema, to some rushed [B.S.] ending." "Prison Break" . . . "They probably should've just ended it once they escaped the first time.""Yellowstone" . . . "I'm currently half through Season Five, and it feels like watching endless streams of country music videos. So far, the NINE episodes I've watched should've been one, or two at best."Lost" . . .

It all started with a "Photograph." Def Leppard's first smash hit kicked off their path to the top and had fans wondering who the song was about, thanks to its music video featuring a Marilyn Monroe lookalike.

What's up, dudes? In memory of Ozzy, Duane Bailey from Tinsel Tunes and Matt Wheeler from Resurrection Metal Radio join me to talk 1988 Headbangers Christmas! Yes, it's Christmas Eve on MTV's Headbangers Ball, and Ozzy Osbourne and Zakk Wylde are hosting the festivities.We're introduced to a slew of ‘80s metal bands, but kicking off the festivities is Ozzy himself with “Crazy Babies!” Poison, Judas Priest, Winger, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, and Guns N' Roses follow. Ozzy and Zakk have a great time introducing the videos. In fact, they even dress up in Santa hats. Ozzy even wears an odd mask  and a pirate hook. Next up are videos from KISS, Hurricane, Alice Cooper, RATT, Aerosmith, and Cinderella. Ozzy suddenly appears in a picturesque Christmas fireside, but now inexplicably has on caveman feet and a club. Subsequently, videos from Lita Ford, Anthrax, Bad News (with the only Christmas song), Def Leppard, and Iron Maiden air. Finally, Hear N' Aid sang “Stars” and Headbangers Christmas concluded! Go get ‘em, boys!AC/DC singing “That's The Way I Wanna Rock 'N' Roll?” Yep. Yngwie Malmsteen performing “You Don't Remember, I'll Never Forget?” Uh huh. Sam Kinison? Sam Kinison?!?! Only if he's wailing on “Wild Thing!” So grab your axe, turn it up to 11, and rock out to this headbanging episode!Tinsel TunesFB: @tinseltunesIG: @tinseltunespodcastTwitter: @TinselTunesPodTownshend LightsGive us a buzz!

This week on The Struts Life, I sit down with Jed Elliott for a whirlwind of tour tales and hard-won wisdom from opening for rock royalty—The Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, Def Leppard, Queens of the Stone Age, and more. Jed relives that pinch-me leap from pub gigs to 80,000 screaming fans, a back-of-the-house “enjoy the ride, boys” from Roger Daltrey, backstage mayhem with Dave and Taylor at MSG, and a goosebump moment when Brandon Flowers praised “Could've Been Me.” We get real about what younger bands should never do on a big stage (leave early, keep it classy backstage), why a great camp matters, and the dream double bill The Struts still crave—Queen with Adam Lambert. Plus, a little fan fun: follow @thestruts and @thestrutshq on Instagram and tag your show story for a chance at a tee.

Episode 3: SlangThis week, your Regarding… Slang hosts Wolfie, Scotzo, podcasting overlord Corey, and Chaz are joined by Middle-Earth's own, podcaster Kevin Brown — a man who openly loathes Joe Elliott's voice — as they take on the funky, polarizing, and utterly un-Leppard title track: “Slang.”But before we get to the track, there's a winding path through podcasting mission statements, Chaz's questionable decision-making as a Def Leppard evangelist, Kevin's blunt assessments of Joe's pipes, and the age-old question: What the hell is wrong with Chaz for trying to sell a hater on one of if not the weirdest song this band ever released?The song itself? It's got Rick Allen on a full acoustic kit for the first time since his accident, guitars that pop and snap instead of roar, and lyrics that may or may not be about phone sex. The band thought it was a bold lead single. The fans? Well…This episode features:

From Sheffield steel to Hysteria-fueled superstardom, we're ranking the very best tracks from one of rock's most explosive hit machines. Will “Photograph” outshine “Love Bites”?

Spoiler: someone thinks “Sugar” is overrated. Let the debates begin!

In a fiery segment from episode #1025 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards unleashes a passionate rant on music, sparked by a viral Coldplay concert scandal involving a cheating CEO. Clay slams Coldplay as "fake smart people music," comparing it to Tool's "nerd metal" and calling both wildly overrated. He and Shaun Yurtkuran, from their Uncensored livestream, dive into a lively debate, trashing bands like U2, Dave Matthews Band, Widespread Panic, and Pearl Jam for their "jam band" excess, while praising "real" acts like Creed, Limp Bizkit, Pantera, Metallica (the greatest metal band ever), Nickelback, Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, and Poison. Clay marvels at Oasis's comeback, noting their fans' Woodstock ‘99-level energy despite their mellow sound, and laughs at Limp Bizkit's audacious album title Chocolate Starfish and Hot Dog Flavored Water, untouchable in today's woke climate. Listeners chime in via the Guns & Gear text line, naming overrated acts like Metallica, Morgan Wallen, and Travis Scott, while Clay defends Def Leppard's consistency and blasts modern rap. This high-energy music debate is a nostalgic, unfiltered romp through rock, metal, and culture.

What happens when Poison's fire-brand drummer trades stadium pyrotechnics for scrappy club gigs, hand-picks BulletBoys shredder Mick Sweda, and dares to mash up Duran Duran with T. Rex? Meet Rikki Rockett's Rocket Mafia—the “anti-cover-band” cover band that's rewriting the rules of '80s metal nostalgia while plotting its own originals.Rikki Rockett—fresh off the Stadium Tour and revved up by motorcycle charity gigs—drops in to reveal how Rocket Mafia started as a one-off set for the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride and snowballed into a high-octane passion project.- Origin story: from Taylor Hawkins' Chevy Metal fill-in to a permanent lineup with vocalist Brandon Gibbs and bassist Brian B.- Set-list philosophy: ditch “War Pigs” for Billy Squier's “Everybody Wants You” and a bang-up “Hungry Like the Wolf/Bang a Gong” mash-up.- Inside the drummer's mind: the magic (and headaches) of fly-in dates, building an erector-set drum kit nightly, and why ghost notes were banned on early Poison records.- Family, books & the paranormal: taxi-dad life, upcoming memoir Ghost Notes, and chasing spirits between tour runs.- The great “original-lineup” debate: Rockett's candid take on legacy bands, Foreigner's rotating cast, and keeping Poison intact.If you crave the swagger of Motley Crüe but dig the left-field song choices of Chevy Metal—or if you've ever argued over whether replacement players can capture a band's soul—this conversation hits your sweet spot. Think glam-metal bravado meets garage-band curiosity; fans of Def Leppard, Cheap Trick, or even Duran Duran will feel right at home.⏰ Episode Highlights0:00 – Theme riff & Welcome – How Dig Me Out keeps '80s metal alive, plus Patreon shout-outs5:12 – The SmartLess-style guest tease – Chip nearly pulls off a Ricky Rockett surprise11:45 – Interview starts – Late-start school runs and why soundchecks are secret weapons22:10 – From charity gig to Rocket Mafia – The birth of an “anti-cover” philosophy28:55 – Mick Sweda joins – Tone over whammy bars and the art of serving the song34:08 – Taxi-dad confessions – Balancing teenage schedules with tour life36:28 – “Ghost Notes” preview – Banned drum licks, paranormal rabbit holes, true-crime obsessions39:54 – Legendary tour manager Bob Dates – Tour-bus rescues & backstage chaos42:10 – Poison in-store brawl flashback – Chasing hecklers through record shops53:30 – Outro jam – How Rocket Mafia plans to weaponize deep-cut Poison tracksLoved the peek behind the spandex curtain?Subscribe now on your favorite pod-player so you never miss an episode.Dig deeper into every season of alternative & hard-rock history at digmeoutpodcast.com.Rate, review, and share—because the riff revolution needs you.

Today, we're diving into the unrelenting collapse of hair metal empire. A music scene that crashed harder than Vince Neil's drunk driving accident killed Razzle Dingley.   Sure, bands like Def Leppard, Motley Crue, and Poison are still out on the road, playing for nostalgic crowds of people who yearn to hear those power chords. But for every one of those groups that are still selling merch and playing gigs, there are several who were wiped off the board in the early 90s by Seattle's flannel fury.  Grunge was a raw, authentic sound and anti-establishment ethos that rejected hair metal's polished production, spandex, and power ballads. But we still love that music about girls and having a good time. It's as America as any other movement in music In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we're looking at the bands who didn't survive the hair metal meltdown. Groups like Winger, Cinderella, Kix, Warrant, and Vixen that all went to shit faster than a teased up hairdo in a rainstorm.   Episode Playlist Check out our episode playlist ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
