Podcasts about Megadeth

The summer of concerts continues as Jay brings another group of friends to see live music. This time it was Iron Maiden and Megadeth at a soccer stadium in New Jersey. Bobby meets Jay at his majestic home and cannot get over the opulent way in which he lives. At the show they saw old fans getting medical help, acceptable porta potties, and plenty of wheelchairs. | Black Lou flies first class for once in his life and the guys reminisce about their virgin flights getting the king's treatment in the air. *To hear the full show to go www.siriusxm.com/bonfire to learn more!

David Ellefson has announced the December leg of his Bass Warrior European tour, and he'll be playing Megadeth's Countdown To Extinction in its entirety across twelve dates from December 3 to 19 — five days after Dave Mustaine's memoir excerpt claimed Ellefson's time in the band was finished regardless of the 2021 scandal. Ellefson has previously said of his 2010 return as a salaried player: "In order to have a friendship, I had to give up some ownership." Also on this episode: MNRK Music Group have acquired the complete recorded catalogue of Black Label Society — eleven studio albums plus live releases, compilations, EPs and Zakk Wylde's solo material including Unblackened — with Wylde remaining actively involved in how the music is presented. And Abbath have cancelled all remaining 2026 shows, a month after a Finland festival set was scrapped during the opening song. Loaded Radio is hard rock and heavy metal news, interviews and radio.

Rolling Stone has published an excerpt from Dave Mustaine's memoir In My Darkest Hour in which he writes that David Ellefson's time in Megadeth "was likely near" its end even before the 2021 leaked-video scandal that got him fired — reflecting on their 2004 lawsuit, Ellefson's 2010 return as a salaried player rather than a creative partner, and a friendship he says was built on shared addiction. For the record: the person Ellefson was involved with was nineteen, the grooming allegations made online were false, and Ellefson reported the unauthorised distribution of the footage to police himself. Also on this episode: Suicide Silence announce their new album Graceless for November 20 via Century Media, produced by Austin Coupe and mixed by Hunter Young, arriving mid-way through a twenty-eight-date North American tour with Emmure, AngelMaker and Synestia — with founding guitarist Chris Garza back in the band. And the estate of the late Brent Hinds has filed a lawsuit against Mastodon in Fulton County, alleging his ownership stake in the band was never properly bought out, that an $80,000 cheque came with no accounting behind it, and that his likeness was used on the artwork and promotion for Marrow Deep after his death.

Two monstrous metal/rock musicians are on Talkin' Rock. Wolf Hoffman is up first. The new Accept tribute album is out now. Teutonic Titans 1976-2026 has 50 guest artists covering 19 classic Accept songs. We talk about the process of starting this project, the massive rockers on it, whether any former members were a part of the album, and more. What's in Accept's future? Does he see an end to the legendary band? These questions and more will be answered. Davud Ellefson is next. The bassist is now part of Metal Church, a band he's loved for years and is happy to be a part of. David says his focus has been on the band and not so much on other ventures as he's done in the past. We discuss his favorite Megadeth album, whether he'll stick around to see his former band play when they share the stage at Louder Than Life next week, and much more. David's been a friend for years, and I'm glad to see him loving what he's doing on and off the stage.

The countdown is on for one hell of a live metal assault! On this week's episode of The Heavy Metal Hangover, Rex and Duff compare notes on their upcoming, separate road trips to catch the mighty Iron Maiden live. We break down the legendary triple-threat bill featuring Iron Maiden, Megadeth, and Anthrax—sharing our unfiltered thoughts on where each band is at today, the deep cuts and anthems we are dying to hear from the stage, and what has us most excited for this massive run. Then, the mood shifts as we tackle the shocking reality surrounding Ghost. With Tobias Forge explicitly stating he has no immediate ideas for the future and zero concrete plans for a return, the clergy's indefinite halt hits differently than a typical off-cycle break. We dissect the creative exhaustion that comes with steering modern metal's biggest theatrical machine, the possibility that we've seen the final curtain call, and why this delivers an urgent, sobering reminder to every fan out there: see your favorite bands while you still can. Whether it's creative burnout, lineup splits, or the simple passage of time, tomorrow is never guaranteed in live music. Grab a cold one, tune in, and join the conversation!

Aussie metalheads, strap yourselves in because the tour of the century is officially locked, loaded, and headed down under this November! If you haven't already heard the earth-shattering news, the absolute icons of heavy metal, Iron Maiden, are bringing their monumental Run For Your Lives 50th Anniversary World Tour to Australian shores. And because the metal gods clearly smile upon us, they aren't coming alone. They are bringing none other than thrash metal royalty Megadeth along for the ride.Let's be honest for a second: this isn't just another standard gig line-up. This is a massive, history-making double bill that we quite frankly didn't see coming. We've got Maiden hitting outdoor stadiums in Melbourne and Sydney for the first time in their legendary 50-year history, alongside massive arena stops in Adelaide and Brisbane. They're promising a killer, once-in-a-lifetime setlist pulled entirely from their groundbreaking first nine studio albums. That means everything from the raw power of the self-titled debut right through to the epic majesty of Fear of the Dark.But a massive stadium show needs a special guest capable of burning the stage to the ground first, and who better than Dave Mustaine and his crew of thrash pioneers? Megadeth recently celebrated a massive milestone with their latest studio release hitting the number one spot right here in Australia. Fresh off the back of their blistering run at Knotfest a few years ago, the band is proving they still have plenty left in the tank. With rumors swirling that this epic global run might be a final world tour epilogue for the thrash titans, the anticipation is hitting an absolute fever pitch.Here at HEAVY, we live and breathe this stuff. So, when the opportunity came up to have a sit-down chat with the mastermind himself, Dave Mustaine, to talk about this impending Australian takeover, you better believe I jumped at the chance. Dave is a man who never pulls his punches, and he was in fine form talking about what it means to share a stage with Maiden, how much he loves the relentless energy of Aussie crowds, and what fans can expect when Megadeth unleashes absolute chaos on these massive stadium stages.So, before you scramble to secure those last-minute tickets, grab a cold beer, turn the volume up to eleven, and check out our exclusive chat with the one and only Dave Mustaine. Australia, get ready to run to the hills, because the countdown is officially on!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Tuesday, August 18, 2026. Dave Mustaine reveals at least two songs left over from Megadeth's final album — "Bloodlust" and "Farewell My Love," plus a possible third he isn't sure he invented — and explains why chemo brain makes his own memory unreliable, and why he may never release them. Ozzfest confirms its first edition since 2018 will take place at Villa Park in Birmingham, the ground where Ozzy Osbourne played his final show 17 days before his death.

Earnest ‘EJ' Christian and music journalist/friend Edward Banchs celebrates the 35 year anniversary of the biggest selling album in heavy metal history, Metallica's self titled LP affectionately known as the ‘The Black Album'.The guys open the show highlighting some of the impressive stats and figures proving the success and the impact of the album.From there EJ and Eddie break down 10 major talking points such as: The Bob Rock EffectDeath of Thrash, Birth of Arena RockThe Vulnerability of "Nothing Else Matters""Enter Sandman" and the Evolution of the RiffJason Newsted's Bass Finally Gets HeardThe Perfect Timing of August 1991The Visual Rebrand: The Anti-80s VisualsThe "Sellout" Myth vs. RealityPlaying to 1.6 Million People in Moscow (1991)The Deep Cuts: Do They Hold Up?Finally the guys power rank all 12 tracks from least to favorite. 

Jon and I go deep into 1985, the year of hair metal, thrash metal, black metal, Live Aid and Rock In Rio.1985 was the year of Misplaced Childhood and Mötley. Maiden and Megadeth. Jon in school short.

Continuing our I Love the 90s series, we move on to 1992, when Batman Returns and Wayne's World ruled the multiplex and Bill Clinton got saxy on The Arsenio Hall Show. Don and Dude drop the needle on one gritty, G funk hip hop album and one crushing heavy metal release that show the evolution of both genres, connecting both records to a world of the Dream Team dominating the Olympics, Mortal Kombat draining quarters at the arcade and Johnny Carson signing off from The Tonight Show.The AlbumsDr. Dre – The Chronic (1992)After leaving Ruthless Records and co-founding Death Row Records with Suge Knight, Dr. Dre used his solo debut to introduce G-funk, building slow, heavy grooves from Parliament-Funkadelic samples, live keyboards and Moog synthesizer lines. The album opens with the mission-statement intro "The Chronic," moves through the diss track "Fuck wit Dre Day," the cruising anthem "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" that introduced Snoop Doggy Dogg, and the Grammy winning "Let Me Ride," before closing on the hidden bonus cut "Bitches Ain't Shit." Shaped by the tension of the 1992 Los Angeles riots and Dre's split from Ruthless, The Chronic plays as a genre defining record that launched Snoop's stardom and set the template for West Coast hip hop.Megadeth – Countdown to Extinction (1992)Formed by Dave Mustaine after leaving Metallica, Megadeth used its fifth album, produced by Max Norman and released July 14, 1992 on Capitol Records, to trade pure thrash speed for tighter song structures and broader themes of war, addiction and environmental destruction. The record opens with the aggressive "Skin o' My Teeth," moves through the signature single "Symphony of Destruction," the internally conflicted "Sweating Bullets," and the farm crisis ballad "Foreclosure of a Dream," before closing on the ambitious, thrash leaning "Ashes in Your Mouth." Recorded in Los Angeles the same week as the Rodney King riots, Countdown to Extinction hit No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and became Megadeth's commercial breakthrough, proving technical metal could thrive alongside grunge.Diggin AlbumsFinn Wolfhard – Fire From The Hip (2026):The Stranger Things actor's second solo album, co-written and co-produced with Clay Frankel, Cadien Lake James and Colin Croom, pairs bright, hook filled indie rock guitars with introspective songwriting about growing up and changing relationships.Jeffrey Gaines – Jeffrey Gaines (1992):The Harrisburg singer songwriter's self-titled debut, produced by David Kershenbaum, introduced his soulful blend of acoustic driven rock, heartfelt ballads and expressive vocals on standout tracks like "Hero in Me" and "Headmasters of Mine."Echo & the Bunnymen – Apples for Isaac (2026):The Liverpool post punk band's first collection of new songs since 2014's Meteorites, produced by Ian McCulloch, features drumming from Blondie's Clem Burke on ten of its eleven tracks, recorded before his death in 2025.Billy Strings – So Much for Goodbyes (2026):The flatpicking bluegrass guitarist's new album, produced alongside T Bone Burnett in their first collaboration together, is dedicated to his late mother Debra Apostol, whose own artwork appears on the cover.Follow & Support Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support the podcast by subscribing, rating, reviewing and sharing it with another music obsessive who still loves hearing whole albums front to back."Are you crying?

After a week of exasperating and confusing news we discuss the unconfirmed firing of Sid Wilson by Slipknot and Merauder's absolutely bizarre crashout, as well as big live announcements from Wacken, Megadeth, Mick Gordon, and the potential dungeon synth takeover of hardcore.Releases:Electric Callboy - TanzneidJohn Carpenter - CathedralCancer Bats - Give Me DirtCitizen - Halcyon BluesJamie Lenman - PukeCeremony - Tell Me Your DreamPublic Opinion - The Curse of Public OpinionNegative Frame - Break the IceWealthy Women - ChildrenHulder - VerbolgenDymna Lotva - VyrajHorrifier - Revelations of Gore

Four days on, and Slipknot still haven't said a word about Sid Wilson. Scott Penfold breaks down where the story actually stands: the single anonymous TMZ source it all rests on, Jim Root telling fans to stop and think — and the song he chose to play underneath it — Mick Thomson's wife Stacy openly mocking the rumour mill, Sid's only post being a merch ad, and the Los Angeles studio doorstep where he was asked point blank and said nothing. Plus Sharon Osbourne confirms a film of Back To The Beginning arrives this year featuring every band who played, and Ozzfest returns in 2027 at Villa Park in Birmingham — which quietly inverts what Ozzfest has been for thirty years. And Megadeth announce Breakout: Hibernation Of The Nations, a 24-date European arena farewell opening March 9, 2027 in Belfast and closing April 13 in Lisbon, with Black Label Society and Testament on the entire run. Off the back of the first number one album of their career — on the seventeenth and final record. Full write-ups on all three at LoadedRadio.com.

This week, a continuation of our series called “In The Shadow Of…”, where we compare bands to a well-established mainstream act. This is not about copycats, but about artists that have similar vibes, share a sonic soundscape, or whose songwriting and playing styles are sympatico. This is another band near and dear to both of you humble hosts. A band that sits atop the pedestal of all things “heavy”. A band that defined metal in the 80s and 90s while becoming somewhat polarizing in more recent years; the iconic METALLICA! Join us as we discover other bands who were influenced and inspired by this hella great band. 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 is not a statement about bands trying to copy one another, but more that they have a shared sound and vision. It's been said that there is no originality left in rock n' roll and also been stated that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. As always, we hope we turn you onto something new! Songs this week include: Trivium – “Unrepentant” from The Crusade (2006) Bloodstain – “Black Swan” from I Am Death - EP(2024) Thrasherwolf – “Shameless Loser” from Inside The Sickened Mind (2024) Evile – “Head Of The Demon” from Skull (2013) Machine Head – “Slanderous” from The Blackening (2007) Tantara – “Human Mutation” from Based On Evil (2012) ThrashWall – “War Outside The Wall” from ThrashWall(2020) Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/ https://bonelesspodcasting.com/shows/in-obscuria https://www.facebook.com/InObscuria https://twitter.com/inobscuria https://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/ Buy cool stuff with our logo on it: InObscuria Store Check 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/

“How many people do you think go into a bar and say: ‘I'd like an Everclear on the rocks, please…'?”   Looking back, 1997 seems utterly surreal…   To put things in perspective, 1997 marked the debut of South Park on Comedy Central, the release of Radiohead's breakthrough, third album, OK Computer, the beginning of the final season of Seinfeld, and (of course) the arrival of Metallica's conclusion to The Loads with Reload.   Perhaps one of the most surreal (and tragic) parts of 1997 was the time a bunch of children in a band called Hanson went viral with a song called MMMBop while a lesser known, criminally underrated, and FAR SUPERIOR band (with an extremely similar sounding name, consisting of former members of Helmet & Quicksand) called Handsome released their one (and only) album, Handsome, earlier that same year.     Sometimes life is just too weird and utterly unfair…   It's time to discover the power of “a better magical piece of paper” that is not a college degree and understand that whenever someone uses the term ‘dating' that “we know exactly what they're talking about”.    Find out who “stayed metal the whole time”, who was “chuggin' the D”, and who wasn't going to metal shows “unless it was Metallica” when you JOIN US as we go back in time almost 30 years with THE CLASS OF 1997.

In case you missed it, the Megadeth show at the Southside Oktoberfest grounds tomorrow night is moving down the street a bit & is now happening inside the La Crosse Center. Find all the info here. Obviously, the threat of rain with some possible lightning and heavy winds can seriously affect any outdoor event, so moving the show to the Center makes a ton of sense. Also in the news this morning, a nationwide recall on eyedrops, accusations by multiple women against Jared Leto, the Mayor of St. Paul is being investigated, Dr. Fauci pleads the fifth, Afroman is suing, and a ban on Roomba vacuums. In sports, the Brewers got shellacked by the Giants last night, an update on yesterday's training camp injuries, the latest on Mia Bieniemy, and Ahman Green announces that he's got Parkinson's. Talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight, and discussed Ben Affleck's big win on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" last night. If you're looking for something cool to do this coming Halloween, you might want to go to Universal Studios. Three women in a car flew off an overpass and ended up landing upside-down & trapped in the vehicle until a bunch of strangers came to their rescue. And a young lifeguard is a hero after saving a young boy from drowning. It's Hypothetical Thursday and with Jean in Boston, I asked you the question this morning: "If the Purge was real, would you participate or lock down with your family/friends/neighbors?" Office Cora also joined me just after 8am to talk about what she's up to in the 715 this weekend…and her hypothetical question for me was: " " Elsewhere in sports, Macklin Celebrini signs a massive contract, Plaxico Burress compares his time in prison to playing with the Jets, and a professional golfer ends up in the wrong country after looking for some Korean BBQ. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a woman who Googled "Does God Forgive Murderers" before actually killing someone, Fireball's new sneakers, the robot that was supposed to help teachers at a school in NY isn't happening afterall, a man accuses his partner of cheating on him with a very specific sex toySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This heat is the WORST! I guess you could say it's going to cool off tomorrow with a high of just 87°, but I'm done with Summer. Let's get those crispy nights & chilly mornings going already. Jean's on vacation this week in Boston with her family, but I've got plenty of stuff to do this week with a big show on Friday at the Oktoberfest grounds…and a major concert announcement tomorrow morning. Speaking of this Friday's Megadeth & Obituary show at the Festgrounds, we talked to the legendary Dave Mustaine on Friday and ran that interview this morning. In the news today, a deadly shooting at a food festival in Seattle, a recall on a fabric dresser sold at Walmart, a deadly attack on a Pride celebration in Berlin, the latest on the shooting in Madison last week, and an update on the bio-hacker dude. The Brew Crew got a stellar start from the Miz yesterday and crushed the Rockies, Todd Gilliland may have won the $1 million in-season NASCAR tournament…but Corey Heim won the race yesterday, Tony Romo got popped for DUI over the weekend, and Lebron is heading to Philly to join the 76ers. Talked about what's on TV & streaming today/tonight…and recapped some of the highlights from this past weekend's Comic-Con in San Diego. Punch the Monkey just celebrated his first birthday and appears to be doing much better…and a dog that went missing over the 4th of July has been found & returned to his owners. A recent survey asked Americans if "flirting" with an A.I. program counts as cheating on your significant other…and about 1/4 of people think it does. Elsewhere in sports, the baseball HOF got some new inductees this weekend, Jacoby Brissett gets a nice contract extension, the 49ers head coach was involved in a pretty serious accident recently, John Tortarella is looking to coach again, and the NFLPA is investigating the Panthers after a player got seriously injured on the very first day of training camp!

On today's episode of The Metal Breakdown Daily, host Scott Penfold unpacks a massive weekend of rock and heavy metal news, starting with a patriotic firestorm surrounding the Red Rocker himself. Sammy Hagar is aggressively defending his involvement in the "Freedom 250" 4th of July celebration in Washington, D.C.. After severe thunderstorms completely washed out the musical portion of the event, fans flooded social media with outrage over Hagar's connection to an event featuring President Donald Trump. Hagar fired back, insisting the show was entirely non-political, and shared the handwritten unity speech he was practicing to deliver right before launching into Van Halen's "Right Now". Plus, we look at the historic "Back To The Beginning" photography exhibition that just launched in Birmingham. Celebrating the one-year anniversary of Black Sabbath's final homecoming set, the massive display features legendary shots of the band alongside Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Slayer, and Pantera, following Ozzy Osbourne's passing in July 2025. Finally, Megadeth mastermind Dave Mustaine drops cryptic breadcrumbs about an "out of this world" July announcement. Mustaine opens up about his upcoming Peace Sails Megacruise, the brutal lasting side effects of his throat cancer treatment, his new memoir In My Darkest Hour, and his ultimate goal to play a final farewell concert in actual outer space.

On today's episode of The Metal Breakdown Daily, host Scott Penfold breaks down a massive day of rock history, last-minute festival chaos, and a poignant heavy metal tribute. We start with the highly anticipated announcement of 'The Masters Of Reality', a massive 500-page officially backed Black Sabbath book arriving this October through Rufus Publishing. Overseen by legendary rock photographer Ross Halfin, the project chronicles the band's iconic Ozzy Osbourne-fronted eras up to their historic 'Back To The Beginning' farewell concert. Halfin reveals that production began two years ago with the full blessing and signed participation of the late heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne before his sudden passing in 2025. Plus, absolute chaos erupted in Lisbon, Portugal, over the weekend after Megadeth was forced to pull the plug on their headlining appearance at the EvilLive festival due to catastrophic "technical issues." We look at eyewitness accounts of frantic road crews running through the crowd with flashlights, leading to a near-riot as furious fans chanted for refunds and pelted the stage with projectiles. Finally, we head to Atlanta, Georgia, where a brand-new street memorial has been officially unveiled at the intersection of Memorial Drive and Boulevard SE. Erected at the site of late Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds' tragic 2025 motorcycle crash, the moving tribute serves a dual purpose as a critical road safety warning urging drivers to look twice for motorcyclists.

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.

We all gotta start somewhere. For underground Metal bands in the 80s, the Metal Forces magazine “Demolition” section was a great place to start. It exposed artists demo tapes to their readers and got them going in the tape trading dept. And a number of then unknown artists appearing would go onto become known. Namely legends like Slayer and Megadeth. But that's just the tip of the Metalberg. This week... The post Radioactive Metal 882: DEMOlition appeared first on Shining Wizards Network.
