We discuss the challenges of narrowing down the selections to a reasonable number, define “what” constitutes a “Deep Cut”, & what kind of Tracks are “off limits”. Also, we share the amazing stories on our personal experiences listening to the music, the road trips to see Rush in concert all over Canada & the US, & the emotional reaction that certain songs trigger, much of which ties back to our age at the time & where we were all at in life. 50 years of Rush music & hundreds of Songs to select from, but only 20 make our “Setlist”!

On this week's episode we welcome back our old friends Modern-day melodic/theatrical rockers Wicked to the show. The band have their second CD set for a March 2024 release and this fall have started rolling out singles from the disc. November 2023 had the first single "Lost in The Dark", and now they are back with the latest single/video – which turns out to be its title track, 'Sunburn.' https://chipsterpr.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bdb1a8377ea3eeb263b993237&id=9a1ebc7c10&e=4a523428da Additionally, Wicked will be taking part in a livestream interactive release show dubbed "The Rock N Roll Circus Show" on December 8, 2023 at 8pm, which will be the kickoff of the series of this rock n' roll variety show. The live streamed show will focus on the "Sunburn" single, but also featuring performances, behind the scenes footage, live interactions with the band, giveaways, and more, via this link: https://youtube.com/@WICKEDROCKNROLL?si=mVBzRSnoNyqD8NOb The band (singer/guitarist Chad Michael, guitarist Scotty V, bassist Danny, and drummer Gunnar) describes "Sunburn" as "A punchy, punishing rocker, with sharpened punk edges and lyrical prowess that could have easily been played at an aggressive Michael Monroe show on the Lower East Side, or on MTV in the 90s by a band like Third Eye Blind. The second single off the upcoming sophomore album 'Sunburn' gives the vibe of that saying, 'too much of a good thing,' and is accompanied by footage from our cross-country escape to California. We drove 38 hours straight in the band van from coast to coast, facing all the surprises old Route 66 had to offer – from storms to vehicle breakdowns and all the new faces we got to meet. From Cali beaches to the Joshua Tree desert, we brought our rock n' roll party and burnt the candle at both ends. It was a perfect way to live out the metaphorical meaning of 'Sunburn' is a song about excess and its repercussions. Don't miss what happens to the band in our music video after we invite these rock n' roll ladies to our desert getaway!" In 2023 it's born with one purpose and that's to fly the flag of that unapologetic Rock N Roll lifestyle and be your next summer anthem!"

On this episode we're joined by Northern California based amateur Photographer, Steve Roney & book Author Scott Davis. Steve & Scott, lifelong friends, are promoting an amazing book titled PICTURES ALIVE: ROCK SHOWS OF THE 80s & BEYOND. The elaborate collection of amazing photos & stories contained in the book taken from concerts in the Bay area during the hey-day of Rock & Metal during the 1980s, is not your typical paint by numbers book, but instead is presented from the perspective & viewpoint of a music fan & enthusiastic concert goer. Steve & Scott were just like the rest of us, Heavy Metal junkies who loved to see their favorite bands, however Steve was THAT guy who snuck his camera into the show & decades later has unearthed these never seen before photos from bands like Van Halen, Kiss, Dio, Def Leppard, Judas Priest, AC/DC, Ozzy, Scorpions, Motley Crue and many others. But what makes his collection unique is that the photos are not professional, but still pretty damn good! Heck, who didn't at some point try to sneak in a camera or cassette recorder to a concert! But beyond the pictures are the recaps and stories from the shows, the ticket stubs & concert ads, setlists, the interfaces with the bands themselves & the comradery with his best friends. Ask yourself this: Did you ever catch a guitar pick from Eddie Van Halen or take a joy ride on the hood of Steve Vai's car or witness Nikki Sixx autograph someone's t*ts? Well, Steve did!

On this episode of Rock & Roll Detention, Metal Mayhem ROC Hosts Metal Walt, Ian O'Rourke & Vinyl Vince McDowell take a thorough look into some of the major Heavy Metal bands that replaced their original Singers during the 1990s: Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motley Crue & Anthrax. We discuss the changing industry & Metal scene in the 90s, what prompted each of these bands to change their original Singer & how & why the new Singers were recruited. In ddition, we examine what impact the changes had on the band, including if the band's sound changed, what it did to the reputation of the band, & the effect it had on stage & in the live setting. Also, we take a big look into the new music that made at that time, dissecting many of the albums & songs & we have an honest throwdown as to if the new material was better or worse than the prior catalog. In the end, we conclude on the sustainability & longevity on each of the Singers & who fared the best & why, both then & now. And of course, we settle on what ultimately happened, in the end, for each band to eventually decide to go back to the original Singers: Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson, Vince Neil & Joey Belladonna.
