Podcasts about Judas Priest

The movie Heavy Metal Parking Lot turns 40 this year — and feels weirdly contemporary. The basic setup is this: A couple of guys showed up at the parking lot of a Judas Priest show outside DC and just let cameras run as the tailgaters go wild. The difference: The cringe behavior didn't wind up on social media, but instead became part of an underground art film that slowly became a cult classic. The filmmakers Jeff Krulik and John Heyn are here to tell the story of the metal show and what happened next.  Want some more DC news?

Featuring Corey and Mark from And The Podcast Will RockThere's a guy in Tennessee who thought Canadian music was just Rush. He was wrong. This is the episode that fixed that.Sean, Todd, and Corey from And The Podcast Will Rock spent 12 hours on prep work — between them — to put together the ultimate Canadian music education for Mark, Corey's American co-host on the Van Halen podcast And The Podcast Will Rock. The playlist covers four corners of Canadian music — classic, newer, rock, and metal — and Mark's reactions are everything you'd hope for.Along the way there's a debate about what makes something a bar song, whether Kim Mitchell is the Canadian David Lee Roth or the Canadian Huey Lewis, why Canadian bands are apparently mandated to have singers with impossibly high upper registers, the difference between a Spinal Tap bassist and a Triumph bassist (it is not as much as you'd think), why Nickelback's problem is their fans and not their music, what happens when you buy beer in Canada versus Tennessee, and whether the Headstones doing Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald at 4 minutes 46 seconds is better than Gordon Lightfoot doing it at 17 minutes.It is.Welcome to Canada, Mark. You're one of us now.This episode features:Triumph — the power trio from Ontario who were massive in Texas for reasons nobody has fully explainedDevin Townsend — whose Addicted album is the one you need to sit down before pressing play, and whose connection to Steve Vai most people have forgottenMax Webster — Kim Mitchell before he went solo, Battle Scar with Geddy Lee, Alex and Neil playing along, and Mark immediately recognizing Rush before being told who it wasKim Mitchell — Go For Soda, Rock and Roll Duty, Easy to Tame, and the video that features what looks exactly like BugamoKiller Dwarfs — the band that gave Mark Iron Maiden and early Judas Priest vibes and apparently played to a certain someone's tape deck back in the Moncton daysThe Northern Pikes — the Saskatchewan bar song that Corey picked specifically for the day Mark comes to visitThe Odds — Heterosexual Man, featuring Kids in the Hall in the video, a Corner Gas connection nobody knew, and everybody ending up in dragThe Headstones — Tweeter and the Monkey Man, a Traveling Wilburys cover, the beer CD promotion story, and a casting session for the movie version of the songThe Tragically Hip — Ahead by a Century, the SNL appearance, the Dan Aykroyd introduction, why they're Canada's Bruce Springsteen, and why Dave Matthews is a poor man's Tragically HipGuests:Corey — Fine Wine Corey — And The Podcast Will RockMark — Craft Beer Mark — And The Podcast Will RockLinktree: https://linktr.ee/seangeekpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/seangeekpodcastWe are a part of the Boneless Podcast Network: https://bonelesspodcasting.com/ Merch:Tee Public: https://www.teepublic.com/seangeekpodcastRed Bubble: https://www.redbubble.com/people/seangeekpodcast/shop@seangeekpodcast on Twitter, Instagram and FacebookMentioned in this episode:New Merch AdAn ad that incorporates Red Bubble and Tee Public

Reedición de Black Sabbath y aniversario de Judas Priest; anticipo de Gloryhammer, Napalm Death en vivo y mucho más…

S9E28 went out live from the TSORR Myoli Beach studio on 16 July 2026.  This is one of those shows where time just flew, and I could have played for another three hours. For the first time in ages, we didn't do an Immortals feature. There was just so much in Rock and Metal Time Machine that I couldn't spare the seven minutes that the Immortals take. Diabolical Challenge was interesting. We continued with our theme of final albums. This week, the albums took a tragic turn. Bowie and Freddie Mercury were passing away. Jim Morrison died tragically, as did Kurt Cobain; all four of these albums were magnificent ends to an era. For the next few weeks in The Diabolical Challenge, we'll look at final albums made by legendary bands, and we kicked it off this week with: Nirvana - In Utero David Bowie - BlackstarQueen - InnuendoThe Doors - L.A.

This week Baxie talks with Paul Rappaport—the former Vice President of Rock Promotion for Columbia Records! For 33 years Paul built an amazing track record of single handedly getting some of the most legendary recording artists in history on the radio, into the charts, and selling records by the millions. Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Bill Joel, Aerosmith, Journey, Santana, Judas Priest, Alice in Chains, Psychedelic Furs, and countless others owe a great deal of their success to Paul's work at Columbia. The man is a true record industry legend. Paul has just released what is perhaps the single most accurate account of the wild relationship between radio and the record industry in the 1970's, 80's, and early 90's ever written in his new book “Gliders Over Hollywood: Airships, Airplay, and the Art of Rock Promotion”. As someone who lived through those days, I can tell you with 100% confidence that it EXACTLY how things used to be! If you listen to one episode of BAXIES MUSICAL PODCAST this year…listen to this one too! Just amazing! Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and on the Rock102 app! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee.

9E28 went out live from the TSORR Myoli Beach studio on 9 July 2026.  It's quite a diverse show, something here for everybody. One of those shows where I just had too much music and not enough time. Rock and Metal Time Machine had far too many interesting things happening for me to squeeze into an hour. For the next few weeks in The Diabolical Challenge, we'll look at final albums made by legendary bands, and we kicked it off this week with: Black Sabbath - 13Van Halen - Different Kind of TruthRush - Clockwork AngelsMotörhead - Bad MagicTwo-thirds of the way through the show I heard of the sad passing of Annette McClellan, who was a drummer for No Friends Of Harry. Many listeners to the show will know the band and will have seen them live. We paid our respects to Annette, who was an amazing drummer, and listened to  'A Long Way Home'.  RIP Annette, thank you for the music.   On a personal note, I closed the show with a tribute to Anita Sayer-Hickson, who passed away on 3 July.

1976 was supposed to belong to disco, soft rock, and singer‑songwriters. Yet in the shadows of “Disco Lady,” “A Fifth of Beethoven,” and “Silly Love Songs,” guitar bands were quietly rebuilding what hard rock and metal could be. Boston's basement‑crafted debut exploded onto Epic Records, Thin Lizzy dropped Jailbreak and Johnny the Fox in the same year, and Judas Priest, Scorpions, Rainbow, and Rush started sketching out the next decade of heavy music.In this roundtable, we go deep into the albums of 1976 that still matter for 70s and 80s metal and hard rock. We talk Kiss' double‑punch of Destroyer and Rock and Roll Over, the strange transitional energy of Zeppelin's Presence and Sabbath's Technical Ecstasy, and the way Ramones, Sex Pistols, and Blondie cracked open a punk and new wave future while classic rock giants were already burning out.If you love Boston, Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest, Aerosmith, or any corner where 70s hard rock collides with early punk and European deep cuts, this episode is for you.Highlights:• 02:30: Billboard's 1976 snapshot vs the albums we care about• 12:10: The accidental birth of Johnny the Fox• 24:10: Kiss in hi‑gloss and raw form, in one year• 29:20: Gasolin' and Solid Ground, Scandinavian heaviness in 1976Subscribe to Dig Me Out at digmeoutpodcast.com | Join the community at dmounion.com This is a public episode.

On this episode, Marc talks Barry Walters, author of "Mighty Real: A History of LGBTQ Music, 1969-2000," published in May of 2026. It's a fascinating version of music history focused on LGBTQ musicians and audiences, with chapters centered on specific artistsm from the Velvet Underground through David Bowie up to Judas Priest, Diana Ross, Prince, Depeche Mode, and so many more. Walters delves into each with the eye of a seasoned rock critic and the skill of a journalist, telling their stories and measuring their impact on LBGTQ culture and society as a whole. As he writes, "Straight critics have been telling us how to hear our music for ages, so I'm simply offering a queer alternative—based on forty years of professional research and two prior decades of fandom, with insights gleaned not only from when these records were new and we experienced them in the moment but also from retrospection and insider information."We hope you enjoy Marc's conversation with Barry Walters!

On daytime MTV, Bon Jovi was becoming the biggest pop-rock act on the planet. Poison was setting the blueprint for everything pop culture now calls hair metal. At the same time, Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth: were building massive and devoted audiences. These two worlds shared MTV, shared tour bills, and shared fans who were being asked to pick a side. That tension is what makes 1986 unlike any other year in metal history.The Glam Explosion That Broke Daytime MTVHere's what happened between 1984 and 1986: metal expanded beyond just being scary.After Quiet Riot became the first hard rock band to score a number-one album in 1984, the genre broke into mainstream consciousness. Then the PMRC Senate hearings of 1985 gave the music a problem: it needed to stop being threatening. By 1986, the solution was in the videos. Make them colorful. Make them fun. Start somewhere relatable: a bedroom, a garage, a studio. Then escalate into an idealized fantasy of concert performance. Replace leather and skulls with neon and teased hair. What had been relegated to late-night Headbangers Ball slots now fit the 3 PM MTV daypart. The music and the medium found each other.Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet is the commercial monument to that shift. Released August 18, 1986, it rolled out singles for nearly a full year after release: “You Give Love a Bad Name” in July, “Livin' on a Prayer” in October, “Wanted Dead or Alive” the following March, “Never Say Goodbye” in June of 1987. Each one was bigger than the last. The year before, Bon Jovi had been opening for Billy Squier. The key differentiator from their earlier work: the arrival of Desmond Child as co-writer on the two biggest singles, bringing professional hit-making infrastructure to what was already a committed band.Poison's Look What the Cat Dragged In was doing the same thing with less money. Their starting address was Enigma Records, home to They Might Be Giants, The Cramps, Dead Milkmen, and Devo. An underground punk label, not a hair metal machine. Capitol entered the picture later, which explains why “Cry Tough” barely moved and “Talk Dirty to Me” became an MTV staple. Poison didn't just succeed with this blueprint; they franchised it.Van Halen's 5150 added keyboards and landed the best Sammy Hagar-era album in the process. David Lee Roth's Eat ‘Em and Smile amplified the campy fun of his Van Halen years into a career highlight. Cinderella's Night Songs made the sharpest glam debut of the year: darker and more concise than anything they'd produce later, before the bluesy detours took over. Jon Bon Jovi helped them record it. That's how fast the food chain was moving in 1986.The Thrash Revolution Running in ParallelHere's the thing about thrash in 1986: it wasn't hidden. Headbangers Ball existed. The magazines covered it. Metallica opened for Ozzy on the Ultimate Sin arena tour. But in the daytime MTV ecosystem, thrash was not the default. If you wanted it, you had to find itMaster of Puppets is eight songs long, 54 minutes, and sounded like nothing on daytime MTV or rock radio. It is heavy and precise and expansive in equal measure: a record where the title track alone runs over eight minutes and earns every second. It was Metallica's third album, the last one with Cliff Burton, and it was recorded without a single thought given to MTV rotation or radio airplay. No videos. No singles. Just the record, and the word that spread through tape trading, zines, college radio metal shows, and the underground networks that thrash metal relied on before the internet existed.What makes 1986 extraordinary is that Metallica wasn't alone. Slayer's Reign in Blood came out the same year: 29 minutes of something faster and more extreme than Master of Puppets, an album that even people who don't follow Slayer know by reputation. Megadeth's Peace Sells... But Who's Buying? completed what might be the single most concentrated year of output from the Big Four of thrash metal: three of the four bands releasing arguably their best records in a twelve-month span. Anthrax didn't have an album in 1986. If they had, it would have been a clean sweep.From the German side of the Atlantic, Kreator's Pleasure to Kill was happening simultaneously: the Teutonic thrash scene developing its own parallel lineage that would eventually be recognized as a pioneer of death and black metal. These weren't crossover acts. They weren't on MTV. But they were building the foundation that would outlast nearly everything in the charts.The thrash revolution of 1986 wasn't a secret, but it was a deliberate choice. Headbangers Ball ran late. Daytime belonged to Poison and Bon Jovi. You could be into both, but at school you were expected to pick a jersey. Admitting you preferred Master of Puppets over Slippery When Wet was a statement, and not everyone in 1986 was ready to make it out loud.Legacy Bands: Update or Resist?Every established metal act in 1986 faced the same question: how much do you change?Judas Priest's Turbo is the case study in what too much looks like. Their tenth album added synthesizer guitars and chased the MTV aesthetic in ways that have remained controversial ever since. Some decent songs are buried in there, but Turbo is the canonical example of a decade-spanning band trying on a new identity because the culture demanded it, and not quite threading the needle.Ozzy Osbourne's The Ultimate Sin represents a different calculation. The image got teased and colorful. The videos fit the 3 PM slot. But the album had Jake E. Lee playing with a flashy intensity that gave it a musical spine the presentation didn't undercut. Ozzy reportedly hated it. Others call it his best solo record: a bridge between his 1970s legacy and the glam-era present that actually holds together. When Metallica opened for Ozzy on the Ultimate Sin arena tour, the lineup said everything about where the genre stood. The scariest band in the underground, opening for a legacy act who'd made himself MTV-friendly. The irony runs deep.Black Sabbath's Seventh Star was never supposed to be a Black Sabbath album. Tony Iommi assembled it as a solo project with Glenn Hughes on vocals, Eric Singer on drums, and Dave Spitz on bass. The label insisted the Sabbath name go on it. The video for “No Stranger to Love” is keyboard-driven and barely resembles Sabbath because, structurally, it isn't. What it is, divorced from its title and backstory, is a genuinely interesting record with a remarkable cast. It has been submitted to multiple DMO polls. It has not yet won. It keeps getting submitted.Iron Maiden's Somewhere in Time added keyboards lightly and reads today as the last album before the tinkering accelerated. Europe's The Final Countdown produced one of the most inescapable songs of the decade and an album none of us heard past the singles. The legacy-band class of 1986 is full of acts choosing between integrity and relevance. The ones who chose wrong are instructive.The Deep Cuts That Shaped Everything (and Nobody Witnessed)Here's the version of 1986 that doesn't show up on year-end lists.In June of that year, a Swedish doom metal band called Candlemass released their debut album, Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, on a label called Black Dragon Records. It did not sell. It did not chart. It was not played on the radio or shown on MTV. It was, by most measurable standards, invisible. What it was doing, quietly and without witnesses, was inventing doom metal as a genre. Every band that has worked in that sonic territory for the past forty years carries a Candlemass debt, whether they know it or not.Guns N' Roses' Live ?!@ Like a Suicide is a different kind of deep cut: a 1986 self-released EP on GN'R's own Uzi Suicide label, predating Appetite for Destruction by a full year. Some people had it. They read about the band in Hit Parader and Circus, bought the cassette, and wrote the band's name on their textbook covers. Then they came home from college and the cassette was gone, lost in a couch cushion somewhere, probably worth a lot of money now. That cassette is a small but perfect metaphor for 1986: the thing you knew about first, the object you can no longer find.The Transformers: The Movie soundtrack connects 1986 to something else entirely: the year metal started showing up in animated children's films, delivered by Stan Bush, Lion, and members of Kick Axe performing as Spectre General. For kids who saw the movie it was a first exposure to the genre. Our Picks, Three Different ArgumentsEvery roundtable eventually comes down to someone having to choose.Poison's Look What the Cat Dragged In. The blueprint for hair metal as a cultural phenomenon. The DIY machine that started on a punk indie label and franchised itself across the next four years. It is not the deepest record of 1986. But it is the one that most completely captures what the year felt like at 3 PM on a Tuesday when MTV was on. That counts for something.Metallica's Master of Puppets is the credibility anchor. The last Cliff Burton record. The document of everything Metallica was before the first video and the commercial pivot. Every move they have made since gets measured against this one, and most of them come up short. The underground case, closed.Ozzy Osbourne's The Ultimate Sin is the legacy act threading the needle correctly, or at least fascinatingly. Jake E. Lee at full power. Ozzy navigating from his 1970s origin into 1986 accessibility in a way that doesn't fully betray either. An album Ozzy reportedly hated. A pick none of us saw coming.That's 1986.Episode Highlights* 0:00: Intro. Why we went back to 1986: the year we were all buying cassettes and picking sides.* 1:52: The Transformers: The Movie soundtrack as a metal gateway. Stan Bush, Lion, and a very upsetting death for 11-year-olds.* 4:07: Cassette-buying memories. Where we each were, financially and musically, in 1986.* 8:08: The PMRC timeline and how hair metal broke onto daytime MTV in 1986, colorful videos replacing darker imagery.* 11:36: Judas Priest's Turbo as the prime example of a legacy band adding keyboards and chasing the MTV moment.* 14:08: 1986 as the greatest single year in thrash metal history. Master of Puppets, Reign in Blood, and Peace Sells all released within months of each other.* 15:02: Walking into Richfield Coliseum for the last 30 seconds of Metallica opening for Ozzy, and genuinely not caring at the time.* 16:04: Listening to Master of Puppets in secret on the school bus while claiming to listen to Bon Jovi or Night Ranger.* 17:28: Why Cinderella's Night Songs holds up: darker and tighter than later work, no big ballad epics, Jon Bon Jovi's behind-the-scenes role.* 20:03: Bon Jovi's rocket-ship year. The full single timeline from You Give Love a Bad Name through Never Say Goodbye, and Desmond Child's co-writing role.* 22:49: Seeing Poison open for Quiet Riot at the Cleveland Agora reopening. Studying the Look What the Cat Dragged In album cover beforehand. Expecting at least one woman in the band.* 25:22: Poison's DIY punk ethic and their unlikely starting home on Enigma Records alongside They Might Be Giants and The Minutemen.* 27:56: Candlemass's Epicus Doomicus Metallicus: doom metal's invisible ground zero, released June 1986, heard by almost nobody.* 30:07: The Guns N' Roses Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide EP story. Buying it before anyone knew who they were, writing GN'R on textbooks, and losing the cassette after college.* 32:11: Queensryche's Rage for Order as a musicians' landmark, more influential among players than general audiences.* 34:43: Black Sabbath's Seventh Star. The Tony Iommi solo album the label forced into being a Sabbath record, and the DMO poll it keeps losing.* 37:44: Vinnie Vincent Invasion: Poison taken to its extreme. Pink guitars, pop DNA at maximum volume, and a singer switcheroo from Robert Fleischman to Mark Slaughter.* 45:08: Buying King Diamond's Fatal Portrait out of sheer fear, based only on a magazine photo with no MTV and no internet.* 52:30: AC/DC's Who Made Who: three new songs, six repackaged tracks, Maximum Overdrive tie-in, and the question of whether it needed to be a full album.* 56:13: The connections bands bucket. Hurricane, London, M.A.R.S., White Tiger, Rough Cutt, Black ‘N Blue: albums bought for who was in them, not what was on them.* 1:03:36: Rough Cutt's “Take a Chance” as an all-time genre standout hiding inside a mediocre album.* 1:07:29: We each name the one album that defines 1986. Three picks, no overlap.* 1:21:07: Chip's poll plug for CJSS's Praise the Loud. Cincinnati power metal. David T. Chastain. Still waiting for its DMO moment.* 1:24:07: Outro.

Aired the weekend of 6/19/26

¡Hola a todos los amantes del vinilo! Hoy vamos a hablar de “Long Live to Rock'n' Roll”, el tercer disco de estudio de Rainbow, aunque en realidad es su cuarto álbum. Antes de este, sacaron el directo “On Stage”, que si aún no lo habéis escuchado, ¡corre que se acaba el mundo! Rainbow, para los que no los conozcáis, fue una banda fundamental en la historia del rock. Muchas de las bandas de la New Wave of British Heavy Metal, como Iron Maiden, Diamond Head, Saxon o Judas Priest, se inspiraron en ellos. Podríamos decir que Rainbow es como un puente entre Deep Purple y Led Zeppelin con el NWBHM. Y ahora, ¡vamos a por este “Long Live Rock'n'Roll”! Grabado en 1977 en un castillo convertido en estudio en Francia y publicado en 1978 bajo el sello Polydor, este disco llevó a Rainbow al Top 10 británico, convirtiéndose en uno de los discos clave del heavy metal de finales de los 70. Aunque creemos que Rainbow no necesita muchas presentaciones entre vosotros, antes de empezar con el podcast, os hacemos un resumen rapidito de su historia desde sus inicios hasta la grabación de este disco que os traemos hoy. Rainbow nació en 1975, cuando Ritchie Blackmore decidió dejar Deep Purple en pleno éxito. Buscaba algo diferente: alejarse del sonido más clásico de la banda y explorar una música más personal, más cercana a la fantasía y a sus influencias clásicas. Para ello, se rodeó de los músicos de Elf, entre ellos un cantante prácticamente desconocido en ese momento: Ronnie James Dio. Blackmore no descubrió a Elf por casualidad… los tuvo delante durante meses, como teloneros de Deep Purple. Cada noche veía a Ronnie James Dio subir al escenario… y poco a poco se dio cuenta de que ahí había algo especial. Algo que no encajaba en Deep Purple… pero sí en lo que él tenía en mente. Escucha este episodio donde contamos cómo tuvimos la ocasión de verlos en Barcelona. No olvidéis suscribiros a nuestra web vinilosbarbarella.com para no perderos ninguna novedad. ¡Salud y Vinilos!

Eric Newman and Kate Wolf speak to journalist and music critic Barry Walters about Mighty Real: A History of LGBTQ Music 1969-2000. Spanning three decades of pop, disco, rock, funk, folk, and much more, Mighty Real looks at the power of popular music to challenge sexual norms and gender categories in ways both coded and overt. Covering headliners such as David Bowie, The Velvet Underground, Motown, Nirvana and Judas Priest, to more obscure players like Lavender Country and the lesbian label, Olivia Records, Walters shows how queerness is encoded in the very DNA of some of our most beloved songs and albums. Mighty Real also testifies to how music both reflects the reality of gay culture and, subversively, brings it into the mainstream.

WAMU speaks with documentary filmmaker Jeff Krulik about the 40th anniversary of his documentary "Heavy Metal Parking Lot" - which focuses on Judas Priest fans outside a concert at the Capitol Centre in 1986.

Este episodio de El Sonido: Cancioneros fue grabado en la Ciudad de México, en los camarines del festival Vive Latino, para hablar con una de las figuras más importantes de la música popular latinoamericana y del pop y rock en español: el colombiano Juanes. Lo que más nos sorprendió durante esta conversación fue descubrir cuán obsesivo melómano es realmente. El compositor y guitarrista nos confesó su profundo fanatismo por las sesiones Live on KEXP y nos contó que pasa horas descubriendo nuevos artistas y escenas de distintos rincones del mundo a través de nuestra comunidad. Para su cancionero, Juanes reflexiona sobre las músicas que construyeron su identidad artística: desde Metallica, Sepultura y Judas Priest hasta leyendas del rock latinoamericano como Soda Stereo, Café Tacuba y Charly García, pasando por el vallenato de Carlos Vives y los tangos de Carlos Gardel. A lo largo del episodio, Juanes también revela que actualmente está trabajando en un nuevo proyecto de metal paralelo a su carrera solista y que el proyecto ya se encuentra bastante avanzado. Puedes ver el video podcast en el canal de YouTube KEXP Podcasts, con subtítulos en inglés y español.

What surprised us the most during this conversation was discovering just how obsessive of a music fan he really is. The songwriter and guitarist confessed his deep love for Live on KEXP sessions and told us he spends hours discovering new artists and scenes from around the world through our community. For his cancionero, Juanes reflects on the music that shaped his artistic identity: from Metallica, Sepultura, and Judas Priest to Latin American rock legends like Soda Stereo, Café Tacuba, and Charly García, as well as the vallenato of Carlos Vives and the tangos of Carlos Gardel. Throughout the episode, Juanes also reveals that he is currently working on a new metal project alongside his solo career — and that the project is already well underway.

Armored Saint guitarist Jeff Duncan pulls into the Krazy Train and Jasmin St. Claire is ready — because when one of heavy metal's most enduring bands drops a ninth studio album, you don't phone in the conversation. Emotion Factory Reset is out and Duncan breaks it all down — the writing process, the concept behind the new videos "Close To The Bone" and "Hit A Moonshot" including the real-life fighters who inspired it, and what it means for a band that has been together this long to still be making music that hits this hard. He gets into Armored Saint's legendary relationship with Metal Blade Records and founder Brian Slagel, why a brotherhood built in the early 80s Los Angeles metal scene is still standing when almost everything else from that era has fallen apart, and what playing the Rainbow Bar & Grill's 54th anniversary show felt like for a man who grew up on Black Sabbath, Kiss, Van Halen, and Judas Priest.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brendon Small sits with Jamey Jasta to talk touring with Baby Metal, learning from seasoned tour vets, what's next for him and more!

This week we dive into one of rock's most hysterical and revealing cultural flashpoints: the Satanic Panic. From Robert Johnson crossroads mythology and Screamin' Jay Hawkins to Black Sabbath, KISS, Iron Maiden, Ozzy, Slayer, and beyond, we trace how devil imagery, shock rock, media fearmongering, church protests, and moral crusades helped turn hard rock and metal into public enemy number one. We get into the Peters Brothers and the anti-rock movement, KISS concert protests, the PMRC hearing, the Filthy Fifteen, Richard Ramirez and AC/DC, the Judas Priest backmasking trial, Norwegian black metal church burnings, and the later scapegoating of Marilyn Manson after Columbine. We also follow the thread into more modern acts like Ghost, The Pretty Reckless, and Twin Temple, showing how Satanic imagery evolved from public scandal into branding, theater, provocation, and pop culture tradition. If you've ever wondered how rock music became the target of preachers, parents, politicians, and nightly news panic, this is the episode for you. What are your memories of Satanic Panic and what impact do you think it had? Let us know in the comments.  We hope you enjoy Episode 666 - Satanic Panic.
