The classic album "Stay Hungry" from the legendary Twisted Sister is one of Metaldom's most celebrated efforts. The singles spoke to us. Some songs creeped us out. Most importantly, it scared the hell out of the non-believers that needed the fright. It also turns 40 this year! So we gave it the deep dive treatment in our continuing '84 Anniversary albums. We go over how we discovered this platter, the effect and influence on the biz it had and do a track by track dissection. Enjoy, SMFers!   In our "News, Views and Tunes",  it's Canada Day! So Aaron gave Snowy some trivia about Canada (Can you believe the animal was not a Moose?!?). Musically, it's all Canadian artists feat. Sacrifice, Razor, Thor, Kick Axe, Nocturnal Departure, Assault, Buchoffuckinggoofs, Varga, Malhavoc, Overthrow, Society's Grudge, Yer Mum and Chocolate Bunnies from Hell.     Horns Up!

The Messes Des Morts in Montreal is a Black Metal festival going on for a dozen years now. The attraction to the fest is the organizers ability to attract artists from across the pond that rarely makes appearances on North American stages. We had planned to be there for this year's instalment. Unfortunately, life had different plans. Fortunately, our good friend and co host of our sister podcast "Wrestling Night In Canada" Mr. "Ducky" Dustin Maruca made the trip. We picked his brain all about the fest. Namely the line up and highlights. And he shares a few cool stories making us wish we were there. As well, we have a quick chat about Black Metal in general.  Musically, we crank some new and used from Blasphemy, Warlord, Kick Axe, Rigor Mortis, Urghal and Dodheimsgard! Horns Up!!

Ideal Para Llevarte O Regalar Productos Del Podcats De Ivoox. (Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Keel es una banda de heavy metal formada en Los Ángeles en 1983. La banda nació de la idea de Ronnie Keel, quien dejó the Steeler project, una banda donde el conocido guitarrista Yngwie Malmsteen también tocó por un período. Ron Keel originalmente llamó la atención del público a principios de la década de 1980 cuando fundó Steeler, un grupo que incluía a un joven Yngwie Malmsteen en sus primeros días. Después de lanzar un álbum homónimo con el grupo en 1983, Ron decidió romper la formación para crear un nuevo proyecto, que se llamará "Keel" , arrastrando a lo largo del baterista Bobby Marks, que ya había sido parte de una de las últimas líneas de su banda anterior. La primera formación de Keel fue en Boston, y consistió en guitarristas Marc Ferrari y David Michael-Phillips, Kenny Chaisson en el bajo, y el baterista Bobby Marks (Ex Steeler y Londres). David Michael-Phillips (nombre real David Henzerling) vino de la banda The Schoolboys, que más tarde se abrió camino bajo el nombre Icon después de su partida. Mientras que Kenny Chaisson era el hermano del bajista de Steeler y Badlands Greg Chaisson. En este período inicial el grupo grabó las dos primeras demos de las canciones "Lay Down the Law" y "Speed Demon" . Esta primera encarnación de The Keels representó un solo espectáculo en el Perkin''s Palace (El Teatro Raymond) en Pasadena en abril de ese año, frente a 1.500 personas. Entre bastidores durante ese evento también estuvieron presentes Tony Iommi y Geezer Butler de Black Sabbath, Lita Ford y Carmine Appice. Appice notó a Michael-Phillips y lo reclutó mientras buscaba nuevos músicos para su nuevo proyecto que se llamaría King Kobra. Después de solo un mes de vida, Ron Keel decidió disolver la banda ya que fue invitado por el productor Spencer Proffer a una audición para Black Sabbath. En realidad, Ron Keel había grabado canciones, originalmente compuestas por la banda canadiense Kick Axe, para pasar a la evaluación de Sabbath. Fue el productor Spencer Proffer (que también dirigió Kick Axe y Sabbath) quien invitó a Ron a cantar estas canciones, pero los veteranos de Birmingham no estaban satisfechos con su actuación. Keel nunca tuvo la oportunidad de audicionar o grabar material con la banda Británica, y más tarde admitió que no fue reclutado ya que la banda quería que Ozzy Osbourne volviera a la voz. Sin embargo, el papel de cantante fue finalmente asignado a David Donato, que duró unos meses, luego reemplazado por Ray Gillen. Ron Keel, amargado, decidió reanudar el proyecto de Keel, reensamblando la antigua alineación, mientras que Michael-Phillips, que se había unido a King Kobra mientras tanto, fue reemplazado por Bryan Jay. Después de encontrar una formación estable, lograron asegurar un acuerdo con el sello Shrapnel Records, con el que lanzaron su debut Lay Down the Law en el mismo 1984. El álbum atrajo la atención del conocido bajista/cantante de Kiss Gene Simmons, quien se convirtió en su mentor, y los llevó a concluir un contrato con una filial de A& M, Gold Mountain Records. Después de esto, el baterista Bobby Marks dejó la banda, y para reemplazarlo temporalmente sucedió a varios bateristas; primero Fred Coury (que un año más tarde se unió a Londres, y luego Cenicienta); luego Barry Brandt de Angel, Y finalmente Steve Riley, ex Steppenwolf, y en el futuro miembro de W. A. S. P. y L. A. Guns. Riley comenzó a grabar el segundo álbum, pero dejó la banda poco después para unirse a W. A. S. P. siendo reemplazado en las quillas por Dwain Miller. Con esta formación, que permaneció sin cambios durante unos cuatro años, Keel lanzó el álbum The Right to Rock, lanzado el 26 de marzo de 1985, que se estableció como uno de sus discos más exitosos. Fue producido por Gene Simmons, quien también compuso algunas de las pistas del álbum. De este álbum se extrajo la pista titular de la cual se rodó un videoclip transmitido du MTV que obtuvo un éxito decente. El sencillo permitió al grupo ganar el título de "Mejor Banda nueva" del periódico Metal Edge music en 1986. El álbum también contenía la famosa versión de los Rolling Stones "let''s Spend The Night Together" , y la pista "Speed Demon" , ya contenida en el debut, también fue revivida. Después de ser asegurados a MCA Records a través de Simmons, lanzaron el tercer álbum The Final Frontier el 30 de abril de 1986, producido de nuevo por el bajista de Kiss y en el que Ferrari también comenzó a contribuir a las composiciones. Con este trabajo, el grupo se trasladó gradualmente a avenidas más comerciales, introduciendo canciones más asimilables y varias baladas de poder. De hecho, incluía la conocida canción Because the Night, una reinterpretación de Patti Smith escrita con Bruce Springsteen. El disco también contó con invitados especiales como Joan Jett (ex-The Runaways), Gregg Giuffria (Angel Giuffria, House of Lords), Jaime St.James (Black ''N Blue), Mitch Perry (ex-Steeler, M. S. G. Y Heaven) y Michael Des Barres (Silverhead). La banda tocó junto a Dio en Gran Bretaña y Krokus en los Estados Unidos. En el mismo año lanzaron solo en Japón el EP / recopilatorio Tears of Fire para celebrar el éxito de la gira en el país asiático. En 1987 participaron en la banda sonora de la película dudes (en italiano Dudes: Diciotenni Arrabbiati) dirigida por Penelope Spheeris, con la canción "Rock N'' Roll Outlaw" (cover de The Rose Tattoo) producida por Kevin Beamish, de la que también se rodó un videoclip. W. A. S. P. , Megadeth y Steve Vai también formarán parte de la banda sonora de la película. El epónimo Keel (1987), fue probablemente el álbum que logró obtener el mayor éxito dado el cambio de sonidos aún más suave y comercial. Interrumpieron la colaboración con Gene Simmons, que será reemplazado por el conocido Michael Wagener, con quien la banda pretendía aligerar aún más los sonidos, siguiendo la vena melódica del heavy metal con atmósferas AOR. El sencillo fue "somebody''s Waiting" . También en este álbum incluyó la participación de Jaime St.James como corista. El álbum contó con una canción escrita en colaboración con el bajista de Dio Jimmy Bain titulada "Calm Before the Storm" . La canción no realizada en el álbum, "Proud to be Loud" , escrita por Marc Ferrari, fue más tarde incluida en el álbum Power Metal de Pantera, que Ferrari ayudó a producir en 1988. Tras el lanzamiento del álbum homónimo, Keels fue invitado a abrir el primer show de Mötley Crüe''s Girls Girls tour y logró ganar el importante papel de grupo de apoyo a Bon Jovi con motivo de la gira del galardonado Slippery When Wet, sin embargo fracasaron en su intento de ganarse a nuevas audiencias. Después de esta serie de fechas, Ferrari y Jay decepcionados por la falta de éxito, dejaron la banda en 1988 y fueron reemplazados respectivamente por Scott Warren y Tony Palamucci. Marc Ferrari mientras tanto formó la banda "Ferrari" , pero pronto el cantante del grupo, Oni Logan lo abandonó para unirse a The Lynch Mob, un grupo fundado por el ex guitarrista de Dokken George Lynch. Debido a problemas legales con el fabricante de automóviles italiano del mismo nombre, el nombre de la banda fue cambiado a cold Sweat. Firmaron con MCA Records para lanzar el álbum Break Out en 1990. Al año siguiente, tras la disolución de este proyecto, Ferrari fundó Medicine Wheel. Keels se puso a trabajar en la liberación de un quinto álbum, y decidió grabar material jugado en dos fechas agotadas en vivo en el Roxy Theatre en Hollywood. El álbum Larger than Live (1989), fue compuesto en parte de material nuevo y en parte de las actuaciones en vivo grabadas en 1987. El álbum cuenta con las reinterpretaciones "Rock And Roll Outlaw" de Rose Tattoo y "Fool for a Pretty Face" de Humble Pie. Jaime St. James y Kevin DuBrow, cantantes de Black '' N Blue y Quiet Riot respectivamente, participaron como voces adicionales en la reinterpretación de Humble Pie. El nuevo tecladista Scott Warren dejó la banda poco después de la grabación del álbum, reemplazado por Jesse Bradman, ya miembro de The Night Ranger, pero también de las bandas de Eddie Money y Aldo Nova. Después de que se hiciera el video musical final de "Dreams Are Not Enough" , Ron decidió disolver el grupo en 1989. Tony Palmucci se unió a Baton Rouge en 1991 y lanzó el álbum Lights Out on The Playground. Scott Warren se unirá a las órdenes, luego a los berlineses y más tarde a Dio. Ron Keel en 1989 participó en un proyecto compuesto enteramente por chicas, llamado "Fair Game" . El grupo nació de las cenizas de otra banda llamada No Game, y estaba compuesto por las guitarristas Tina Listo y Eve Marie, la baterista Stephanie Leigh y la bajista Janna James. Aunque estuvieron activos en el circuito en vivo, Fair Game nunca lanzó ningún material. Listo, bajo su nombre real Tina Wood, se unió a Phantom Blue en 1996. La hermana del baterista de Mötley Crüe, Tommy Lee, Athena Bass, reemplazó a Leigh detrás de la batería antes de que la banda anunciara su disolución en 1992. En 2000, surgió una colección de material grabado por la banda para Metal Mayhem Records, llamado Beauty & The Beast. Kenny Chaisson participó como corista en el álbum debut de Tuff What Comes Around Goes Around en 1991. Después de esto, Ron Keel dejó el heavy metal por un período, mudándose a Nashville y grabando un álbum country como "Ronnie Lee Keel" , titulado "Western Country" . Después de esto, tocó por un período en 1997 en la banda japonesa Saber Tiger. En julio de 1998, Keel se reunió en Phoenix con Ron Keel, Bryan Jay, Marc Ferrari, Kenny Chaisson y Dwain Miller para crear una colección de canciones raras e inéditas, incluyendo "Reason To Rock" , una canción de 1987 que nunca había sido terminada. El álbum, titulado Keel VI: Back in Action, fue lanzado en 1998 por D-Rock Records. El álbum también contenía temas antiguos como "United Nations" , "Lay Down the Law" y "Speed Demon" , así como la reinterpretación de Argent "Hold Your Head Up" . El álbum también contiene la canción "Proud to be Loud" , escrita por Ferrari y originalmente destinada a ser parte del álbum homónimo de Keel (1987). Esto fue descartado y Ferrari, en ese momento colaborador de Pantera, les asignó la canción que fue incluida en su álbum Power Metal (1988). Su canción "Speed Demon" se puede escuchar por unos momentos en la película Men in Black II (2002), y aparecerá en la compilación U. S. metal Vol. IV. El ex guitarrista Tony Palmucci se unió a la banda en solitario del líder de Twisted Sister, Dee Snider, con quien lanzó el álbum Never Let The Bastards Wear you Down en 2000. En 2007, The Ultimate Ron Keel Collection fue lanzado con material de Keel, pistas no realizadas de otros proyectos de Ron Keel como Lust, Saber Tiger y Steeler, y una pista en solitario inédita, "Long time Coming" . Keel anunció oficialmente una nueva reunión en noviembre de 2008, compuesta por Ron Keel, Marc Ferrari, Bryan Jay, Dwain Miller y el nuevo bajista Geno Arce, quien ya era miembro de Iron Horse con Ron Keel. Más tarde firmaron un acuerdo con Chavis Records. El quinteto debutó en vivo en el Club Vodka en Hollywood el 31 de enero de 2009 con el apoyo de DC4. El 29 de enero de 2010, Streets of Rock ''N'' Roll fue lanzado por el sello italiano Frontiers Records. El álbum, producido por Pat Regan (Rainbow, Deep Purple, Mr. Big, Warrants), cuenta con la participación de algunos invitados como Jaime St.James de Black ''N Blue, quien ya había participado como vocalista de respaldo en los tres álbumes anteriores, y Paul Shortino, ex vocalista de Rough Cutt.

So kick back as they provide you a list of almost 50 bands and artists they have not really talked about. Some of them include Kick Axe, Loudness, Blackfoot, Helloween and more. This week the boys bring you two songs by the awesome German band Wolfpakk. Both Michael Voss and Mark Sweeney return with their 5th album, coming out on January 24th. The boys are proud to play two songs off that new album.

It’s time to meet Kick Axe… one of Chris Jericho’s favorite heavy metal bands! Founding bassist Vic Langen along with drummer Brian Gillstrom and guitarist Ray Harvey talk about the band’s early days gigging in their hometown of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, how they broke into the metal scene in the 80s, and why they all but disappeared just as their careers were taking off in the States. They share stories about being signed by Spencer Proffer of Pasha Records, recording in Hollywood, hanging out on the Sunset Strip in the 80s, opening for Judas Priest, the Scorpions, and Whitesnake, and touring with Quiet Riot. You’ll hear about the making of the “Vices” and “Welcome to the Club” albums, and what happened when they opened for Metallica. Plus, they recount what finally brought them together again, why singer George Criston didn’t join them again, and how they found new singer Daniel Nargang.

"GO DUNK". It's time for another episode of the Canadian Geeks Chatting Metal Podcast! This week this hosts sit down for a chat with very special guest, Darrell "Dunk", "Dwarf", "Darnell", "the Rock n Roll Pirate" Millar. When Darrell is not pounding drums with the KiLLeR DWaRfS or singing vocals with Automan, you might just find him tapping away at a keyboard. It seems he has now added "Author" to his impressive resume. His first book "Guardian of a Time Keeper" is now available. Not exactly a typical Rock n Roll biography, it seems that our Rock n Roll Pirate has had more than his fair share of "near death experiences". Guardian of a Time Keeper is a collection of these near misses in graphic detail. All told with the all too familiar Dwarf sense of humour. Darrell has survived multiple near drownings, horrific automobile accidents, fires, natural disasters, terrible falls and being interviewed by the Canadian Geeks! The Meister and Wallygator dive into the book but also take some time discuss the Dwarfs, Automan, his connection to Steppenwolf, Laidlaw, Kick Axe and parenting in today's world. Most importantly the CGCM Podcast is given an exclusive. Listen in as Darrell tells the abbreviated but very entertaining story of how he ended up with the nickname "DUNK"! It's an hour of stories, lots of laughs and some fantastic music including the brand new Automan track, "Street Urchin"

This week on album Vs. album we put King Kobras "Ready To Strike" against Rough Cutt's Same Titled debut. Ready to Strike features the songs "Hunger" which was written by the members from Kick Axe. It was also featured in the original Transformers movie. At this time in the band King Kobra had vocalist Mark Free who would later become Marci Free and also drummer Carmine Apice. Rough Cutt's debut was produced by Judas Priest producer Tom Allom. Also features a song called "Take Her" which was Co-Written by DIO. The songs "Dreamin' Again" and "Black Widow" were co-written by Wendy Dio, Ronnie's wife. There is also a cover song "Piece of My Heart" which was originally performed by Erma Franklin, though Janis Joplin made it famous, and many people mistakenly believe Janis Joplin was the original performer of the song.

Episode Description: Sonny and Steven answer listener questions. They cram a bunch of great music into this already laugh filled episode while trying to answer some great questions about rock n roll and the meaning of life. OK, I made that last part up and besides they aren't qualified to answer life questions, they're idiots. What’s The Story: You asked and we answered. Sonny and I open our lives up to the listeners and answer a boatload of questions ranging from Sonny’s love for Alias and his hatred of Rush to why I can’t figure out the answer to a question in which the Podcast is named after. After 96 episodes, we figure why not turn over the questioning to some of our listeners and let them ask away. We did our best to answer most of the questions but some of the questions were, well how can I put this? Dumb!

Tired of the state of your radio station? Are they playing the same 20 songs over and over again? Tired of hearing the same two or three Zeppelin tunes, the same two AC/DC songs? Hell, if you all you ever listen to is terrestrial radio, it would appear that the Rolling Stones ever recorded five songs in 50 years. So forget about your transistor radio and hop on Da-Plane, this is Fantast Island Radio. A musical paradise that plays hits and deep cuts and accepts the new! During part two the boys discuss the KISS End Of The Road Tour, meet and greets and the dreaded "CRS" syndrome that afflict men over 40. They kick off the music with a pair of D.I.T.D.'s. Wallygator selects Hal Spark's Zero 1 band and the track "Panic Attack" while the Meister spins some Danko Jones with the song "Play The Blues"From there they hop the plane to Fantasy Island where the beer is cold, the sun is hot and the radio sounds a little like this...Six double shots of loud Canadian Rock carries you through the rest of the show. The first tune of each double shot is an old classic track from back in the day, followed by something a little more current from the same artist. This week's double-shots feature music from FIST, Brighton Rock, Kick Axe, Sven Gali, Von Grove and finishing off with Canada's Queen of Scream Darby Mills!

After meeting their Royal employer the adventurers leave the town of Uthkan seeking the crystal heart of an Elder thing. With a Royal now joining their party will they be able to work together to retrieve the heart from Landons Hollow?

You ready to get niche? C'mon, let's get niche! Join our hosts Sebastian and John on a jaunt down memory lane as they dish on the soundtrack for the 1986 film, Transformers: The Movie. Just to be clear, this episode doesn't cover the movie in which these songs appear. No, our brave hosts dedicate roughly an hour of their lives (and yours) to discuss the soaring synthesizer score by Vince DiCola, killer jams from some Kick Axe bands, the wonder and majesty of Stan Bush, and the greatest songwriter of this (or any other) generation, one "Weird Al" Yankovic. Strap in, friends, as we transform and roll on Here's Why It's Great!   #hwigtfsoundtrack

The Transformers: The Movie is a 6 million dollar animated film that came out in 1986, co-produced and directed by Nelson Shin, who also produced the original The Transformers television series on which the film was based. The origins of that cartoon series was a line of toys produced by Hasbro, based on designs which originated in Japan, toys that were vehicles which transformed into robots. The film spawned an amazing hard rock soundtrack which is the focus of today’s episode. On this episode you will hear conversations BJ had with Stan Bush, who wrote and sang the first single from the soundtrack, "The Touch," Vince Dicola, who wrote the song "Dare," also sung by Stan Bush (Vince also wrote the score for the film), and members from the three bands featured on the soundtrack: Jerry Best, bassist from Lion, who recorded a heavy metal version of The Transformers theme, Ernie Petrangelo, guitarist and songwriter from Rhode island metal band NRG, responsible for the killer track "Instruments of Destruction," and Larry Gillstrom, guitarist from Canadian heavy metal band Kick Axe, who were credited as Spectre General for the soundtrack, they contributed two songs, "Nothing’s Gonna Stand In Our Way" and "Hunger." This episode is a deep dive into one of the funnest movie soundtracks of the eighties. It's more than meets the ear!

In Episode #4 of the CGCM Podcast, the Canadian Hosers go "Around the World in 80 Episodes" starting at home in Canada. Tracks featured from Canadian bands like Annihilator, Kobra and the Lotus, Striker, Kick Axe and more alongside lots of drunken silliness.....and even discussion of preparing Kraft Dinner. Each time this recurring regular segment appears, the boys will focus on music from a different country for each of the 80 Episodes.

It's the Second Annual Summer Movie Preview with Team Tiger Awesome, but the question remains, do ANY of this Summer's most anticipated, potential blockbusters ACTUALLY get reviewed? Odds are 50-50 that you'll hear anything useful about "The Mummy," "Spiderman," "Wonder Woman," "Alien Covenant," "Baywatch," "The War Of The Planet Of The Apes" or "Guardians Of The Galaxy Volume 2." But what you WILL hear is plenty of useless trivia about Kick Axe, Tom Cruise, Brendan Frasier, Margot Kidder, and the true nature of Peter Parker. There are also a couple of crazy stories involving Mickey Rourke, Mundy and The Rock, and celebrity golf with Josh Duhamel.
