Recorded live in Nashville Tennessee, the Metal Cowboy Ron Keel joins the program for a once in a lifetime event for Cobras & Fire. This one will make you smile. #ROCKNPODFrom that first Steeler album to recent releases like “South X South Dakota” and “Fight Like A Band,” Ron Keel's 35-year career in entertainment has taken him from the concrete jungles of arena rock to the dirt roads of country music. Along the way, he has sold millions of albums and toured the world as both a heavy metal screamer (KEEL, Steeler, and a brief encounter with Black Sabbath) and a southern rock/outlaw country artist (with dozens of songs in major films and TV shows). For the past two decades, the Metal Cowboy has combined both genres, establishing a style and a persona which captures the heart and personality of this self-proclaimed rock n' roll outlaw. Keel's legendary major label debut album THE RIGHT TO ROCK was produced by KISS' Gene Simmons – they went on to notch three albums on Billboard's Hot 100 as well as MTV and radio hits “The Right To Rock,” “Because The Night,” “Tears Of Fire,” “Somebody's Waiting,” and “Rock N Roll Outlaw.”Opening shows for Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Motley Crue, Dio, Y&T, Queensryche and many more established a hard work ethic that remains strong today; the 2019/2020 World Tour included the Monsters Of Rock Cruise (Belize/Cozumel), Ron's first-ever tour of Australia, the Frontiers Rock Festival in Milan, Italy, the KISS & Rock N Roll Expo in Helsinki, Finland, casinos, fairs and festivals stateside, KEELFEST (featuring Keel, Ron Keel Band and Steeler) plus major bike events like the Sturgis Rally and Hot Harley Nights.After nearly three years hosting the “Streets of Rock & Roll” rock-and-talk syndicated radio show, Keel was handpicked to join a dream team of Midwest rock radio royalty on KBAD 94.5 FM, where Ron's “Mid-Day Mayhem” show skyrocketed to the top of the Neilson ratings for that region. He's now back on the “Streets Of Rock N Roll” with weekly broadcasts on PureRockRadio.net, TotalRock.com, 97Underground, Philly Rock Radio and RockRageRadio.com.As a songwriter, Ron has dozens of TV and film credits – major movies like “Men In Black II,” “Dolphin Tale,” “The Messengers” and many more – and his songs have been featured in hit TV shows like “X-Files,” “Desperate Housewives,” “The Simpsons,” “King Of The Hill,” and the Daytona 500 broadcast. Ron Keel has worked hard to remain ahead of the curve, constantly re-inventing himself and evolving with the changes in the entertainment industry.

We've never hidden our love of Decibel magazine. We've been monthly readers/subscribers for years now. We've chatted about it endlessly and have interviewed contributors. A fave regular feature has been the Metal Muthas column, where the mother of a prominent artist is interviewed. Well...we thought we'd give it a go ourselves. Our fandom of legendary deathmongers Nuclear Death goes back decades.  Our friendship with mainperson Lori Bravo has really blossomed over the past year. Thru that we've gotten to know Lori's mom Barbara Bravo, making her  the ideal candidate for our inaugural Metal Mothers feature. "The Mumster" shares with us a little bit about herself, what Lori was like as child and, of course, her first reaction to hearing the brutality that is Nuclear Death. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we share our Record Store Day booty and make our picks for July's RSD releases. Musically, we crank new stuff from Witch Cross, Lucifer's Hammer, General Surgery and Killing Addiction. Plus some classic stuff from Nuclear Assault, Slaughter and introduce Wyoming metallers Fell Harvest in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

Unfortunately, this week Aaron was unable to join us. So with his blessing, your "Cool Uncle Snowy" set out and enlisted a suitable co host. Death Metal trailblazer (and good friend) Lori Bravo (ex-Nuclear Death) has dropped her amazing new solo album "Bare Bones". So it made for a perfect opportunity to get her back on the show again. We discuss the new album, her almost relationship with Autopsy's Chris Reifert and the impending ND Moribund reissues. Miss. Bravo was happy to share the spotlight with death noise rockers Yautja. The outfit just dropped their new record "The Lurch" via Relapse. We got drummer Tyler Coburn on the horn to give us the 411. Musically, we crank the aforementioned Yautja and Bravo records + some Nuclear Death, Autopsy, Graveripper, Debauchery, Impetigo and Mutilation Rites.   This Episode is sponsored by Trve Kvlt Coffee.

Last year we were blown away from Calif. crusties Destroyed In Seconds latest album "Divide And Devour". D.I.S. have a cool crossover sound that appeals to Metalheads and Punks alike. It took awhile but Deep Six Records came correct and released a sweet vinyl edition of said album. We were so stoked with the presentation we had to speak with vox Jon Tamala. He gave us the dis and dat on the new album plus sharing the stage with hardcore legends and putting over his bandmate's other outfits. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we discuss censorship with regards to a Texas art teacher and make a hockey bet with a veteran Canadian Metal band. Musically, we crank the new D.I.S., Flotsam And Jetsam, Phobia, Victims, Entropy, Inhuman Condition, Children Of Technology and introduce San Diego's Nightshadow in our "Indie Spotlight".

"I love it when that happens!" These were the enthusiastic words spilling out of our mouths when we found out we were going to be speaking with German thrash veterans Desaster. On the day of the release of the outfit's new album!!! "Churches Without Saints" is full lenghter #9 (!!) from these Teutonic Terrors. And while some of their fellow country brethren might get the lion share of the attention, Desaster has been making waves of their own. This is a perfect time to talk with string bender Infernal as he's been front and centre from the get-go. We chatted the new album and our mutual love of all things vinyl and Destruction. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we discuss the Ellefson firing and say R.I.P. to "Spazzy McGee".

Run! Run! 5-0! 5-0! No, "The Man" hasn't finally secured that long overdue arrest warrant. Your "Cool Uncle Snowy" has officially become "Old Man Snowy" as he hits the half century mark. So to commemorate this event we decide to forego most of our segments, pour some Lemmys and just rock out! To help celebrate we are joined by old friend and Pure Rock Radio head honcho Rich Embury. Between belts we discuss the loss of Tawny Kitaen and the rise of young punks The Linda Lindas. But we weren't totally off the clock. Joining us is axeman Stefan Castavet from Metal Blade recording artists Vulture. We discussed the wicked new record "Dealin' Death". Musically, we crank said Vulture album plus new Cirith Ungol, Solanum, Schismopathic, Minor Threat, Bitch, Witch Cross, Shit Happens and Cauldron Burial!  You don't stop listening to Metal because they got old.

Our beloved genre is fuelled by passion. Sometimes it's this passion that drives fans to do some crazy things. Case in point - "Rag'R" super fan Mitch. Banger TV YouTube series "Heavy Metal Hitchhiker" focus' on this good hearted gas attendant's race against time to return a guitar to his heroes and be given a roadie job in return. And of course, it's comedy of errors and hilarity ensues. We're always on the look out for cool interview subjects beyond the usual, so this time we sat down with the lovable Mitch, stand up comedian Mr. Garrett Jamieson. We get into the origin of the story, all that he brings to the role and the soundtrack of Mitch's life. A star is born!

Break out the heavy artillery! Legendary thrashers Artillery are back with another killer record! Appropriately entitled "X", this latest platter is the outfit's 10th (!) album. And these Dutch metallers are showing no signs of letting up. They preserved over personal adversity and Father Time himself. And sounding better than ever! We sat down with axeman/founder Micheal Stutzer and got the scoop on this momentous record. We discussed the writing process without his brother and bandmate Morten (RIP) and shared his current relationship with other Danish legends. "X" is fresh on the racks so...Run!

Another heart-pumping Meathook Metal, with the usual blistering metal! This episode of Meat-Hook Metal originally aired Live on Pure Rock Radio on April 8th, 2021.

No "Creature Feature?" No pro-blem-o! Here at the RAM offices, we're veterans of the scene. A.K.A. we're old. Having gone heavy music full time in '84, we've seen a lot stuff about our beloved genre come and go. While we look back fondly on what was, there is a number of cool stuff from today we'd love to take back to those glory daze. On the flip side, there's a number of cool stuff from yesteryear that we'd love to see as a part of today's scene. So we put on our thinking helmets and share our thought on creating a "fully armed and operational" Metal World! In our "News, Views and Tunes", we crank new tunage from Artillery, Pestilence, CroMags, Bongzilla, Morbosidad and introduce Pennsylvania's Befell in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

More and more the connection between our beloved genre and the world of professional wrestling is getting stronger and stronger. Ring entrance music, gimmicks and, most importantly, a lot of wrestler's themselves are real life Metalheads. One of the original crossovers is Nasty Savage maiman "Nasty" Ronnie.  In our youth, we started out as Nasty Savage fans. But then we really "marked" out when Mr. Ronnie took his outrageous stage antics to the squared circle in his home state of Florida. Ronnie was actually a "Bucket List' interview from the get go, and with it being Wrestlemania season, getting him on the horn was an easy match up. We discussed the early years of NS, his journey into the mat world, right up to his "Born To Ride" TV series. This being a special wrestling episode, we enlisted the talents of "Ducky" Dustin Maruca and Matt Copper from our sister show "Wrestling Night In Canada".  We discussed Ozzy going into the WWE Hall of Fame, the Misfits stint in WCW, and our picks for musicians that would make great wrasslers! If all this doesn't get us the Three Count then musically we crank some Savage, God's Hate, Hirax, Piledriver, Hallow's Eve, AntiSeen, Brody's Militia, and Eat The Turnbuckle!

Band interviews rule. They're the bread and butter of this show. There are a number of other facets of our beloved genre that don't always get their just due. We've spoken to a number of these unsung heroes before; producers, authors/writers, record company dudes. Mr. Brad Skibinsky offers up something different. He's a one man vinyl distributor behind Eye and Ear Control Records. Basically, he's his own record shop and mail-order. And an all round cool dude we've known for quite awhile from the scene. So we're stoked to present his story. We discuss the idea, the inspiration and passion behind the enterprise. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", Record Store Day(s) will be upon us soon. We we deep dive into the upcoming releases and make our own Want Lists. Musically, we crank some Blasphemy, Asagraum, Horndal, Bloody Hell, Destroyed in Seconds, Humanity Is Cancer and introduce Montreal metallers WarCall in our "Indie Spotlight".

Veteran rockers are getting the best of yesterday and today. Today's scene is full of young talent. And the old guard is still creating killer tunes. Texas metallers Helstar are a great example of the old guard giving the upstarts a run for their moolah. Helstar have a wicked new record on the racks entitled "Clad In Black". A cool comp. featuring new singles, cover tunes, and a re issue of the killer "Vampiro" album. So it's a good time to get vox/mainman James Rivers on the horn. We discussed said record, the 80s TX metal scene, and his obvious vampire obsession. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we go over Jon Schaffer's "Do Over" and those very unique Motorhead bullets. Musically, we crank new and used Helstar plus Blaspherian, Agent Steel, Motor Jesus, Bullet Belt, Steel Baring Hand, live Autopsy, new Hell's Headbanger's signees Nocturnal Departure and intro Toronto metallers Devilz By Definition in our "Indie Spotlight".

It's that time again. Generally as a rule, music awards mean two things to heavy music fans - jack and shite'! But we do seem to take notice when it comes to the categories that mean something to us. With the grammys in the can, we can now focus on the upcoming Junos, the Canadian equivalent. Specifically, the Heavy Metal Album of the Year Award. So with that in mind, we're going to forego a "Creature Feature", and delve into our thoughts and picks from this year's nominees. As well, we pay tribute to Gerri Miller, editor pf the great Metal Edge magazine. Which took us down a rabbit hole discussing our past experiences with the wonderful world of metal mags. In our "News, Views, and Tunes", we crank  tunage from Helstar, Depths Of Hatred, Caskets Open, Bikini Kill, Vile Creature, Unleash The Archers and introduce San Diego metallers Monarch in our "Indie Spotlight".  Horns Up and Stay Healthy!

From that first Steeler album to recent releases like “South X South Dakota” and “Fight Like A Band,” Ron Keel’s 35-year career in entertainment has taken him from the concrete jungles of arena rock to the dirt roads of country music. Along the way, he has sold millions of albums and toured the world as both a heavy metal screamer (KEEL, Steeler, and a brief encounter with Black Sabbath) and a southern rock/outlaw country artist (with dozens of songs in major films and TV shows). For the past two decades, the Metal Cowboy has combined both genres, establishing a style and a persona which captures the heart and personality of this self-proclaimed rock n’ roll outlaw. Keel’s legendary major label debut album THE RIGHT TO ROCK was produced by KISS’ Gene Simmons – they went on to notch three albums on Billboard’s Hot 100 as well as MTV and radio hits “The Right To Rock,” “Because The Night,” “Tears Of Fire,” “Somebody’s Waiting,” and “Rock N Roll Outlaw.” Opening shows for Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Motley Crue, Dio, Y&T, Queensryche and many more established a hard work ethic that remains strong today; the 2019/2020 World Tour included the Monsters Of Rock Cruise (Belize/Cozumel), Ron’s first-ever tour of Australia, the Frontiers Rock Festival in Milan, Italy, the KISS & Rock N Roll Expo in Helsinki, Finland, casinos, fairs and festivals stateside, KEELFEST (featuring Keel, Ron Keel Band and Steeler) plus major bike events like the Sturgis Rally and Hot Harley Nights. After nearly three years hosting the “Streets of Rock & Roll” rock-and-talk syndicated radio show, Keel was handpicked to join a dream team of Midwest rock radio royalty on KBAD 94.5 FM, where Ron’s “Mid-Day Mayhem” show skyrocketed to the top of the Neilson ratings for that region. He’s now back on the “Streets Of Rock N Roll” with weekly broadcasts on PureRockRadio.net, UncontrolledNoize.com, 97Underground, Philly Rock Radio and RockRageRadio.com. As a songwriter, Ron has dozens of TV and film credits – major movies like “Men In Black II,” “Dolphin Tale,” “The Messengers” and many more – and his songs have been featured in hit TV shows like “X-Files,” “Desperate Housewives,” “The Simpsons,” “King Of The Hill,” and the Daytona 500 broadcast. Ron Keel has worked hard to remain ahead of the curve, constantly re-inventing himself and evolving with the changes in the entertainment industry. His most recent venture is at http://patreon.com/ronkeel, where fans pay a monthly subscription fee and get all access to exclusive content and personal fan experiences.

The Metal Cell Compilation Green Hell Pt.1 (featuring my favourite belter's of 2019) is my way of ending 2019 with a solid dose of Irish heft. This year has been an incredible year for the Irish Metal Scene. The quality of the releases from all our bands has truly brought it to another level in musicianship and professionalism. The amount of bands vying for our attention is incredible, artists created some of their best work ever for album designs and t-shirt's, different genres within the scene sparked lots of interest and encouraged bands to embrace diversity. From the length and breadth of the country, bands have been showing up to play gigs, thankfully promoter's there in our main cities to facilitate this here, the U.K and Europe. I also want to acknowledge Limerick's, Zealot Cult who hit the USA to play a series of gigs as well. While I'm on about Limerick, Bad Reputation and DME Promotions combined to hire out King Johns Castle to host Amon Amarth and Behemoth, one of many highlights of the year for me, along with Rotting Christ hitting Cork for the terrific Monolith Festival, the success of the Siege of Limerick and the Invictus 20 year bash. One can only hope someone will document it in a book next year, I'd like to think the Podcast's certainly captured alot of the vibe of 2019 and I'm so happy to be able to promote the scene here and through Pure Rock Radio in Canada. In picking my compilation, I wanted to include as many bands as I could and to promote the diversity that exists in our scene. I wasn't always into Sludge, Post Metal, Doom, Black metal etc but I have kept a complete open mind going into gigs to watch these bands and have benefited enormously because of it. So having a time frame does tend to confine my selection and it makes it so difficult to leave out some bands therefore apologies if some releases didn't make the cut. Finally I'm so happy to be in the position to release this compilation to the many countries that I have listeners in, thank you all who have loved the show and for your continued support here in Ireland and further afield; shout outs to my listeners who downloaded the shows in Russia, Brazil, Australia, Israel, India, South Africa and many more who love Metal!!!

Horns up Metal Heads! On this week’s Metal Lunch Break I am joined by Country Artist Jay Ricochet. Jay is a long time Metal Head and has performed as a high energy front man for many bands over the years. Now he has found as calling as a Country singer and songwriter. His latest single, “Like Hank Knew Whiskey”, is getting a lot of attention in the US and internationally. Jay and I discuss his transition from Metal to country and how he is still Metal to his core. Listen to Jay’s new single on iTunes or CD Baby. Don’t forget to listen live to Episode 530 this Thursday 11/15/18 at 9pm eastern on Pure Rock Radio when we interview Mike Odd of Mac Sabbath.

Today Jennifer Bjorklund and Jay Campadonia were on vacation (separately) but just the same, we needed to fill out the table a little, and look who we found: 1980’s-1990’s Pure Rock Radio legend, Ted “Thrasher” Prichard. Thrash-Pie recounted his days as a heavy metal god on KNAC FM, plus he delivered the stories behind the stories, including: something you wouldn’t expect to break out at the CDC, Herman Cain says America is being ruined by idiots, and social media is burning up with World Cup fever.  Chris Martin takes us for a ride on an asteroid, introduces us to the inadvertent feminist, and updates the World Cub scores (sorry Great Britain). Plus today’s guests, Michael Sragow reviews the weekend movies, and the new Downtown Harbor opens up right up the street from our studio in Ports O’Call.
