We share funny stories and fond memories relating to albums by Talking Heads, Dire Straits, Tears for Fears, Heart, the Hooters, Run-D.M.C., Megadeth, Marillion, the Smiths, and even Hoodoo Guru and Pseudo Echo (remember them??), plus many others. As always, we have a Spotify playlist to accompany this episode that you can access HERE. What's your favorite album released in the first half of 1985?

This conversation began as a discussion about the Back To The Beginning concert. David and I recorded it on Monday afternoon, while he was doing some stuff in London. With the passing of Ozzy on Tuesday, I shelved it until now. David was kind enough to call in and talk about the Prince of Darkness on my show Tuesday, so I incorporated it into today's conversation. David talks about the big concert, comparing it to Live Aid, as far as feel and vibe. He told me about the best parts for him and his chance to play on the big stage. We also talked about Megadeth, and where he thinks the band peaked out and was hitting on all cylinders. It's been a crazy week, I hope you enjoy this chat! Meltdown

I think I'm finally all better! (Maybe? I don't know. At least my cough is gone! For now!) (Nervous laughter) No one plays “lovably sleazy” like Paul Giamatti. Exciting things coming up (I didn't know how else to articulate this segment) Unfortunately for you, I found out today was the 30 year anniversary of seeing Korn for the first time. “Mecca of bodybuilding?” More like WRECK-A of bodybuilding. A prolific, Los Angeles-gallavanting Saturday, and I went to see Superman so you don't have to. (This shouldve been a two-parter, I'm sorry. Save it for a long drive? Or if you want to get your wife to leave you.)

Anthrax is considered to be part of the Big 4 of Thrash, along with Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer. Their classic lineup which was on Among The Living, consisted of drummer extraordinaire, Charlie Benante, who amazingly wrote most of their guitar riffs, rhythm guitarist Scott Ian who wrote most of their lyrics bassist Frank Bello, who was Charlie's nephew, lead guitarist Dan Spitz and lead singer Joey Belladonna. The band was looking to get to the next level and enlisted legendary producer Eddie Kramer to get their 3rd album just right. The album made it to Number 62 on the Billboard Charts and went gold. Among The Living was a breakthrough for the band and is considered their best album by many. The album featured many classic Anthrax songs like, I Am The Law, Indians, Caught In A Mosh and more.

I reconnect with Alix Michaels, tracing her journey from Winnipeg's radio scene in the early 90s to her adventures across the US and back home again. We reminisce about the Winnipeg Radio Reunion, the unique energy of the city's broadcast community, and the memorable personalities who shaped our careers. Alix shares candid stories about breaking into radio, working overnight shifts in the early 90's at 92 CITI-FM, and the unpredictable calls that came with the job—including a surreal encounter with Dave Mustaine from Megadeth. We discuss her leap into American radio markets, the challenges of TV hosting, and the evolving landscape of voiceover work, especially with the rise of AI. Our conversation also explores Winnipeg's quirks, from its ever-changing radio dial to its vibrant, sometimes strange local culture. The listener survey can be found here.

Sean Baligian returns for a rare back-to-back night on Off The Air — and he's fired up. From a full-throated “Scherzer!” rant à la Wrath of Khan to a hilarious retelling of a drunken NBA Draft night with David Stern and Dave Mustaine, this episode delivers vintage Sean energy.He dives deep into Jack Flaherty's maddening refusal to throw strikes, weighs in on the Tigers' trade deadline outlook, and unpacks how the NBA and NHL Drafts have lost their magic for the average fan. Plus: Dan Campbell gets dissected via PFF's head coach rankings, and Sean makes the case for expectations beyond nine-win mediocrity.And yes, there's barbecue. Lomas Brown calls it “swine,” and you'll never look at ribs the same way again.
On today's episode I interview Steve LIPS Kudlow. He's the singer and guitarist for the highly influential metal band Anvil. They arguably invented the speed/thrash genre and their landmark 1982 album "Metal on Metal" inspired many notable heavy metal groups including Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax and Metallica who would go on to release their debut albums over the next few years.The band's 2008 documentary "Anvil!

In this episode of The David Ellefson Show, comedian and metalhead Jim Florentine joins David to share wild stories from his youth growing up in New Jersey near Johnny Z and the legendary Megaforce Records. Jim recalls unforgettable moments like taking Dave Mustaine and Metallica to the mall in the early days, and doing stand-up comedy between sets on the 2010 Megadeth and Slayer tour. He talks about blending metal and humor, including one gig where he got fined for cussing—because the venue was attached to a zoo!

Alright, imagine it's June 1984...The nights are full of questionable weekend decisions, music cranking out of the backs of cars, and probably forgotten mornings. We dive into the glorious chaos of '80s rock with the relisten of these gems. We're tackling Megadeth's Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good! (said in Dave's voice) Then there's Mötley Crüe's Theatre of Pain. And finally, the slick and utterly captivating Ratt's Invasion of Your Privacy. We will determine if these iconic albums still hold up, or if they're just a relic of a time when MTV played music videos and "rock star" was a viable career path for anyone with a guitar and a questionable liver.

The Riffs, the Ruin, and the Rise of ThrashWhat do you get when two broke metalheads with a single bass and guitar channel their chaos into one of thrash metal's most iconic records? In 1986, Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? marked Megadeth's leap from Combat Records obscurity to Capitol-backed cult status. This episode of Dig Me Out unpacks how a band teetering on collapse crafted a cornerstone of ‘80s metal.We dig into the album's razor-sharp riffs, jazz-influenced drumming, and Dave Mustaine's snarky lyrical persona. From iconic MTV News basslines to heroin-fueled studio disappearances, this conversation covers the weird, wild, and weirdly disciplined story behind Peace Sells.

Nunca hubieras imaginado ir a una cafetería a tomarte un Chai Latte o un simple Espresso Macchiato (per favore) y que acabaras saliendo escaldado por un dueño que, en caso de ponerle una nota regulera en las reseñas de google o tripadvisor se acordara de tu madre difunta, te llamara delincuente por tu color de piel o simplemente te llamara borracha por llevar una camiseta de Megadeth.... En Los Danko abordamos el tema de los comercios de hosteleria que encajan digamos, MUY MAL, el que los clientes no salgan satisfechos con la experiencia... Vivir para ver. Además, aprovechando episodios anteriores de Los Danko, veremos si nuestros oyentes están en el #teampelos y prefieren dinero por encima de la calidad de vida, o más bien están en el #teamsam y el tiempo libre supera cualquier montón de billetes sobre la mesa. Habrán anécdotas y comentarios de nuestros dankistas que os dejarán con la boca abierta. Y para boca abierta, la tremenda historia que nos cuenta El Pelos de Ripollet al inicio de programa, una picada de un insecto indeterminado que lleva a nuestro héroe al borde de la amputación de un miembro, junto con la extraña y (sensual?) forma de tratar la infección por parte de una sanitaria del cono sur... Todo esto y mucho más en un maravilloso e irreverente episodio de Los Danko, el podcast de humor más longevo de habla hispana.

On Sunday we continued along inour Micah series, looking at 4:1-8. Here in this section, the prophet tells of a day when the nations will gather together and there will be true peace in the land. We believe this day started with the arrival of Jesus and will find its completion upon his return.I mentioned that this was the inspiration for many songs, including artists as diverse as Michael Jackson and the heavy metal band Megadeth! -Sermon from 6/15/2025
This week we celebrate bands that can re-imagine their songs with acoustic instruments and still rock! We are pulling the plug… and gasping for air… guitars! Electric artists have been playing acoustically since the beginning of recorded music. Most songwriters start the process with an acoustic instrument and capturing the sound of a song on just wire and wood has a vulnerable, human feel to it. What's this InObscuria thing? We're a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This week we discuss the FORGOTTEN. Mtv started a series in 1989 called “unplugged”, and almost every mainstream relevant act started producing acoustic albums or versions of their songs. This week we listen to some artist that you may have never considered as having acoustic interpretations of their songs.Songs this week include:The Gems – “Like A Phoenix (Acoustic Version)” from Phoenix (2024)Cicadstone – “Burn Your Name (Acoustic)” from Future Echoes (Acoustic EP) (2024)Dokken – “In My Dreams” from One Live Night (1996) Rise Against – “Swing Life Away” from Punk Goes Acoustic (2003)Twelve Foot Ninja – “Kingdom (Acoustic)” from Mutant Dreams And Face Transplants: An Acoustic Experience (2024)Joey Eppard – “Dregs” from Joey Eppard Live In Concert (2013)Megadeth – “Symphony Of Destruction (Acoustic Live)” from Unplugged In Boston (Live 2001) (2001)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://x.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it: InObscuria StoreCheck out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/
Our 40th Anniversary Album Spotlight Series continues. This time we tapped one of the most important albums in 80s underground thrash. The amazing Megadeth debut “Killing Is My Business…And Business Is Good” introduced mainman Dave Mustaine's new project to a both curious and eager audience. Little did the underground know what a behemoth Dave and the (interchangeable) Boyz would become. Along with their contemporaries in the “Big 4”. So this... The post Radioactive Metal 837: Everybody's Business appeared first on Shining Wizards Network.
This week we present a major announcement from the Night Demon camp about forthcoming activities to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the legendary full-length debut album, Curse of the Damned. There will be concerts, special merchandise, and even an action figure of axe-wielding Eugene, the black-clad mascot from the album cover. But the centerpiece of the Curse at 10 celebration is the September 2025 release of the 'Ultimate Edition' box set of the album. In this episode, Jarvis and host Nesbit provide an overview of all the content in the box set, which is now available for pre-order. Future episodes will dive into this content in extensive detail, so tune in this week for a bird's eye view of what's to come.pre-order box set - http://www.cursedamn.com Listen at nightdemon.net/podcast or anywhere you listen to podcasts!

Dave Mustaine is the co-founder, frontman, primary songwriter, and sole consistent member of the thrash metal band Megadeth. A pioneer of the American thrash metal movement, Mustaine formed Megadeth in 1983 after his departure from Metallica, where he served as lead guitarist and co-songwriter. With Megadeth, he has released sixteen studio albums, sold over 50 million records worldwide, earned six platinum certifications, and won a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 2017 for the title track of Dystopia. Known for his intricate guitar work, snarling vocal style, and lyrics exploring war, politics, and personal struggles, Mustaine remains a towering figure in heavy metal. Despite overcoming challenges like substance abuse, a 2002 arm injury, and throat cancer in 2019, he continues to tour and create music, with Megadeth's latest album, The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!, released in 2022. He is working on his 17th album. Mustaine is also expanding his family's wine venture, House of Mustaine, and mentors emerging artists.
