Barry and Abigail discuss Rockin' From the Grave and sample Pumpkin Shandy from Penn Brewery in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (in collaboration with Soergel Orchards in Wexford, Pennsylvania), Jack from Urban Artifact in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Mind Over Matter from Magnify Brewing Company in Fairfield, New Jersey.We have gone zero episodes without mentioning the White Album or Abigail's personal White Album, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Both Black Magic Woman and a cover of The Devil Went Down to Georgia by Steve Ouimette appear on GHIII: LoR, but Abigail was mistaken about (Don't Fear) The Reaper's inclusion; in fact, Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll is the Blue Öyster Cult representation on GHIII: LoR, and (Don't Fear) The Reaper is actually on Rock Band, which Abigail has played, but the Hummels have never owned.Listen to our exploration of The Munsters Theme's many different iterations in last year's Halloween episode, New Belgium Halloween (New Wave Halloween & New Belgium Brewing)! Today, we also listened to the version with lyrics and briefly discussed Far Out Munsters, the episode where the Munsters rent their home to a Beatles-inspired rock group.Edgar Winter's justification of naming his song Frankenstein because of its “monster-like, lumbering beat” reminded Abigail of Flight of the Cosmic Hippo by Béla Fleck and the Flecktones.Watch the music video for Addams Groove by MC Hammer.Barry educated Abigail about the famous “More Cowbell” sketch from SNL, which centers around the studio recording of (Don't Fear) The Reaper!In looking deeper into the fun fact from Carlo's Corner about salt killing yeast, we stumbled upon this article on the history and science of Goses written by the brewmaster of Anderson Valley Brewing Company in Boonville, California, a brewery known for their Goses. Per the article, some Goses from the early 20th century had between 130 and 280 ppm of salt. Anderson Valley typically adds about 800 ppm of salt - but only after fermentation. It is thought that as little as 100-150 ppm of salt can cause osmotic stress to the yeast and therefore decrease fermentation rates, but the salt concentration required to completely inhibit fermentation or cause death for the yeast are much higher than humans would tolerate as palatable in a beverage.Santana's Black Magic Woman is a mash-up cover of Black Magic Woman by Fleetwood Mac and Gypsy Queen by Gábor Szabó. Abigail would much rather listen to Smooth (feat. Rob Thomas).While Abigail believes Johnny clearly won the fiddle battle in The Devil Went Down to Georgia, John Oliver strongly disagrees. Watch the boss battle against the devil from GHIII: LoR.We previously discussed the word “pompatous” (found in Clap For the Wolfman by The Guess Who) during our discussion of Steve Miller Band's The Joker in our episode Cans (k.d.lang and Cigar City Brewing).Read more about Paracelsus and the absolutely nauseatingly eye-rollingly annoying reason he took the name Paracelsus.Barry made Abigail play a little bit of Grandmaster Dee's Haunted Scratch, the original B-side to Freaks Come Out at Night by Whodini.Twilight Zone by Golden Earring was inspired by The Bourne Identity novel, and you may be able to tell this from the music video. The other song from two-hit wonder Golden Earring you may have heard of would be Radar Love.(Ghost) Riders in the Sky is a cover originally written and performed by Stan Jones. Prior to The Outlaws' version, Johnny Cash's version was the most well-known.Up next… Brothers in Arms by Dire StraitsJingles are by our friend Pete Coe.Visit Anosmia Awareness for more information on Barry's condition.Follow Barry or Abigail on Untappd to see what we're drinking when we're not on mic!Leave us a rating or a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | YouTube | Substack | Website | Email us | Virtual Jukebox | Beer Media Group

Sie waren die berühmt-berüchtigte Rockband der 70er Jahre, sie waren sehr laut, skandalumwittert, und sie sorgten für Umsatzrekorde. Mit Hymnen wie „Whole lotta love“ und „Stairway to heaven” haben Led Zeppelin ihren Platz im Rock-Olymp sicher, und ihre Alben sind Meisterwerke, die immer noch exzellent klingen: Im Studio wurde experimentiert und nach Sounds gesucht, die neuartig und ungewöhnlich waren. Besonders Jimmy Page verstand es, die damalige Studiotechnik bis zum Äußersten auszureizen.Led Zeppelin waren auf allen Positionen bestens besetzt, mit virtuosen Musikern, die alle ihren speziellen Ansatz verfolgten: Robert Plants Sirenenstimme, John Bonhams kraftvoll-dynamisches Schlagzeug, Jimmy Page mit all seinen Gitarrensounds und der eher stille John Paul Jones, der am Bass und an den Keyboards für besondere Momente sorgte.Diese Soundschrauber-Folge beschäftigt sich mit wichtigen Songs ihrer kurzen Karriere und fördert erstaunliche Sounds zutage, die vielleicht auch Zeppelin-Kennern so nicht bekannt waren!

Dieses Mal geht's hinter die Kulissen der Weltenwanderer-Tour von SALTATIO MORTIS – und zwar dorthin, wo sonst kaum jemand hinkommt. Moderator Jean spricht mit den Menschen, die Tag für Tag dafür sorgen, dass die Shows überhaupt stattfinden können: Rigging, Bühnenbau, Licht, Ton – all die helfenden Hände, die im Verborgenen dafür sorgen, dass auf der Bühne alles glänzt und kracht.
This is the greatest and best podcast in the world: Plattnerei.Eure Wonderboys Pint und Kain sind gekommen, um eure Socken zu rocken! Aber nicht mit Musik, sondern mit einer Musik-Besprechung, so gewaltig, dass sie dem Teufel ein Horn abbrechen könnte.Es geht um “The Pick of Destiny”, das zweite Album der vielleicht größten Rockband aller Zeiten: Tenacious D. Schnallt euch an, wenn wir nicht nur ein meisterhaftes Rockalbum besprechen, sondern auch den Soundtrack zu einem ziemlich unterschätzten Film! Wir haben die Powerslides und Cock-Pushups gemeistert, sind mit Wölfen gerannt, haben den K2 bestiegen und sogar einen fahrenden Zug angehalten und sind durch Raum und Zeit gereist, um euch die neue, fette 84. Episode abzuliefern.Also einschalten!

This week on The Super Retro Podcast, we built the perfect late-'80s and early-'90s Saturday morning, from picking our favorite cereals and cartoons to debating the best wrestling icons, action figures, and outdoor activities that defined our childhood weekends. We also dove into who really deserves the title of best band of the 1980s, spotlighted the legendary 1989 Topps Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trading cards, and reminisced about the excitement of the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes, back when hearing the doorbell meant life-changing money might be waiting on the porch. We talked about Jim Carrey eyeing the role of George Jetson in a potential live-action Jetsons movie, celebrated Nintendo turning 40, and debuted two brand-new segments: Keepin' It Retro, our new interview feature sponsored by Arcade1Up, and Will's Walkbuster Movie Club, where we break down nostalgic flicks that defined the VHS era. We also discussed Mobb Deep's new album, Infinite, opened some epic Mailbags, had fire Discord Drops, reviewed last week's Reels, and closed out with a killer Fit Check. Wall-to-wall nostalgia, don't miss this one!⸻Today's episode was brought to you by Salty Water. Hydrate Your Inner Warrior!

"Ice Queen" ist mehr als nur der erste große Hit von Within Temptation – der Song markiert den Beginn einer neuen Ära des Symphonic Metal. Rückblickend sagen die Bandmitglieder dankbar, Ice Queen war der Startschuss für unsere lange Karriere. Über 20 Jahre nach seiner Entstehung hat der Titel nichts von seiner Faszination verloren: Jedes Jahr zur Winterzeit erlebt „Ice Queen“ ein kleines Revival, wenn Fans ihn als ihre inoffizielle Rock-Weihnachtshymne feiern. Die Bedeutung des Songs hat sich über die Jahre vielleicht sogar vertieft: Angesichts aktueller Diskussionen um Klimawandel wirken die Zeilen über die zerstörerische Wut der Natur heute fast prophetisch.

It's another week in real life for the gang — or at least for most of us. Devon's down sick, so it's a two-man show featuring Steven and Ben navigating the bizarre crossroads of tech, food, and VR golf.
In der heutigen Episode hat Moderator Jean die Kollegen von Schandmaul zu Gast. Sänger Thomas, Neu-Sänger Marco (alias Till Herence) und Schlagzeuger Stefan erzählen von den heftigen Herausforderungen der letzten Zeit, sprechen über Neuanfänge und darüber, dass man einfach nicht aufgeben darf. Eine super spannende und überaus inspirierende Folge! Außerdem liefert unser Chefhistoriker Falk mal wieder ein Bravourstück in Sachen Tavernenspiel ab, bei dem es gleichzeitig was zu Lernen und zu Lachen gibt. Viel Spaß beim Hören!
Show Notes On this week's podcast, Dan and Kris tackle the letter Z for this month's entry in the Alphabet Soup-er Series. It was Dan's pick, and he went with the classic text adventure Zork. Does this legendary title stand the test of time? The guys have some differing opinions. Then, in Week Old News, Electronic Arts goes even further to the dark side, AI is freaking everywhere, Rock Band 4 is finally shutting down, and apparently people still care about what Michael Pachter has to say? Finally in the checkpoint, Dan and Kris had very little time to actually play video games, but Kris decided to make cake pops for his daughter's birthday! How did they come out? What exactly is Mega Man Victory? Let's find out! Enjoy!

The inevitable has occurred for Xbox gamers, as now the "Best Deal in Gaming" Xbox Game Pass Ultimate skyrockets up in price by 50% to $30 a month in the United States, and even more in other regions. PC Game Pass went up to $16.50 as well. The question now is, is it still worth it? Well, the rush to cancel Game Pass was big enough to crash the cancellation page. Is this the sign of the end? Or is it once again a lot of grandstanding to wind up returning? Sean and Marc discuss their thoughts on the situation, and could Call of Duty be the biggest reason for this change? The dooming did not end there as another rumor quickly began to spread that Microsoft would be introducing a free ad tier of Xbox Cloud and even be done with hardware entirely, which Microsoft actually came out and refuted. Will Xbox actually have a console in 2027/2028? Or are we just waiting for more bad news down the line? Plus, aside from all of the Xbox stuff, the PS5 Dualsense may get a replaceable battery, Rock Band 4 is delisted from digital storefronts, the Golden Joystick Awards made some interesting nominee choices, and a whole lot more on this edition of Video Games 2 the MAX!You can also watch this episode in video form on the W2M Network Youtube Channel, please give us a like, comment on the episode, and give the channel a subscribe and follow as well: https://youtube.com/live/SpPJoxWZKeYListen as a podcast and give us a review on these platforms...

Download Episode 1082 – Oh we’ve got a fun one this week as we’ve got Garth Noyce of Triple Eh? joining the show to chat Lumo 2, and a LOT more.The show kicks off with Bri Galgano and Aki on hand as we welcome Gareth Noyce from Triple Eh? back to the show for his second visit. First visit was for Lumo 1 back on Episode 199. And we’re all still doing this. We chat about the game’s history, changes compared to the first title, discussions about sales between platforms, and those ducks. Hot damn do we talk about those friggin ducks… Jacob Garner shows up somewhere in there.After a while, we shift the talk to news of the week including the horrible news that EA sold out to Kooshner and The Saudis that was somehow eclipsed by Microsoft’s WORSE news of upping the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate by 50% from $19.99 to a whopping $29.99 a MONTH. We discuss the move, the “additions” to the tier including Fortnite crew junk none of us actually want, and our fears about Microsoft and the Xbox brand in general. Did we mention Gareth was a long time Xbox employee? He has opinions! Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs is getting delisted in November, Rock Band 4 is getting delisted like tomorrow, and four Puzzle Quest games are already delisted. But hey!

In this episode, the boys talk about Acai's YARG showcase on Ludwig's Fast 52 event, the impending delisting of Rock Band 4, and the Daft Punk Experience in Fortnite.
The final encore has arrived for Rock Band 4. This episode dives deep into why the beloved rhythm game is being delisted, exploring the messy world of music licensing, the challenges of preserving games tied to third-party content, and what this means for the future of interactive music. We look back at the cultural legacy of Rock Band, why its disappearance hits harder than most game delistings, and what lessons the industry should take from this moment. If you've ever strummed a plastic guitar with friends or dreamed of being a rock star in your living room, this episode is for you.

In deze episode hebben Jelle, JJ en Koos het onder andere over de even verrassende als forse prijsverhoging van Xbox Game Pass, de komst van Battlefield 6 en het getrol van EA richting Activision en de schrijver van de The Witcher 4-boeken die niet alles aan de gelijknamige games tot vindt. Deze topics en meer ga je zien en horen in de Einde van de Week Live van vrijdag 3 oktober 2025.Prijzen Xbox Game Pass rijzen de pan uitWat bezielt Xbox om de prijzen van Game Pass opeens te verdubbelen? Dat vroeg iedereen, en dus ook wij, zich af toen het nieuws woensdag bekend werd gemaakt. En waarom gaat Square Enix sleutelen aan de gameplay van Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Part III. Deze vragen worden beantwoord in deze video.Check de brute kracht van de Titan 18 HX Dragon Edition gaming laptopDeze week zet MSI hun absolute paradepaardje in de spotlights: de Titan 18 HX Dragon edition.

Welkom bij een nieuwe episode van Gamekings Daily. In deze vodcast nemen twee presentatoren de laatste ontwikkelingen binnen de wereld van videogames met je door. Met daarbij steevast een gekruide mening, want we maken entertainment. Vandaag schuift Boris aan bij JJ om te praten over een reeks aan onderwerpen. Zo bespreken ze samen het gerucht dat er een nieuwe Lord of the Rings-game komt die moet concurreren met Hogwarts Legacy. Gaat zoiets werken? Ze discussiëren ook over de verbazing bij financiële analisten de uitkoop van EA. Ze vinden de prijs die de drie investeringsfondsen betalen veel te hoog. Die prijs is allesbehalve marktconform. Waarom is dat? Dit en enkele andere onderwerpen kun je zien en horen in de Gamekings Daily van woensdag 1 oktober 2025.Lukt het om een Lord of the Rings-versie van Hogwarts Legacy te produceren?Andere topics die aan bod komen zijn de aankondiging dat Team Bloober bezig is met de remake van Silent Hill 1. Terwijl we de remake van deel 2 toch echt pas net achter de rug hebben. Ze praten over de sluiting van een van de studio's van Avalanche. Plus er wordt gesproken over het percentage van het aantal verkochte games per console en een bizarre actie van een fan van de Grand Theft Auto-franchise.Scoor kaarten voor concert The Architects in Ziggo DomeVolgende week dinsdag (7 oktober) kun je goed de moshpit in bij een optreden van de Britse metalcore band The Architects.

In der heutigen Episode hat Moderator Jean unsere Podcastkollegen von "Amplify your life" zu Gast. Jana Solveig & Uwe Lerch sprechen über ihr Buch “Amplify your life” und darüber, wie es ist, wenn man immer wieder feststellt, dass man in manchen Lebenssituationen scheinbar nicht funktioniert oder auch einfach nicht zu passen scheint. Was kann einem dabei helfen, wenn man hochsensibel ist oder den eigenen Platz im Leben nicht findet? Was passiert mit uns, wenn wir uns über andere Menschen aufregen, sei es im Beruf oder auch privat? Und wie können uns alltägliche Entscheidungen und ganz konkrete Dinge helfen, mit diesen Herausforderungen klarzukommen? All das und noch viel mehr erfahren wir in der heutigen Podcastfolge. Jana Solveig ist Mentaltrainerin, zertifizierter Business Coach und lebt Rock'n'Roll. Sie denkt klar, fühlt tief und bringt eine Energie auf die Bühne, die nicht laut sein muss, um Wirkung zu zeigen. Uwe Lerch ist unter anderem als Musik-TV-Moderator und Podcast-Produzent bekannt. Davor war er viele Jahre für die Kuschel-Rock-Serie verantwortlich. Der leidenschaftliche Schallplatten-Sammler hält sich durch tägliche Rockstar-Routinen fit und teilt gerne seine Erfahrungen darüber. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

Samen discussiëren ze over het bericht dat EA binnenkort wel eens opgekocht kan gaan worden door investeerders uit de VS en Saudi-Arabië. Hoe waarschijnlijk is dit verhaal wat de Wall Street Journal bracht en wat zouden de gevolgen kunnen zijn? Daarnaast kijken ze terug op het Pokémon event van afgelopen weekend in Amsterdam.

Is het uitbrengen van twee Black Ops-games in twee jaar tijd namelijk niet wat veel van het goede?

This “Behind the Music” is an 8-part retrospective of the biggest rhythm game franchise to ever hit the States (and the reason so many of us still have plastic guitars stashed in our hall closets). Featuring opening acts Harmonix and Red Octane, and headliner trio that gave us Guitar Hero Arcade - Activision, Konami, and Raw Thrills What is the musical instrument-based peripheral you never got but always wanted in a Guitar Hero or Rock Band game? Could we see a reunion tour of Geriatric Drive-by in our lifetimes? Why is Rob fed up with FedEx? How are fan-created games like Clone Hero and YARG keeping the home rock star experience alive? In lieu of answering listener questions we just go into a long rant about the Nintendo Direct. Well, some of us do.

Mike TrampTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Mike Tramp. After making a nationwide name for himself in his home country of Denmark, with a band called Mabel, Mike set sail for the musical shores of America. Early in the 1980s, Mike Tramp formed the rock band White Lion. Selling millions of records across the country, White Lion charted top 10 hits like "Wait", and "When the Children Cry". Over the years, band members have come and gone on their way to five albums between 1985 & 2008; but one thing never changed... their fearless leader Mike Tramp has always put the music first. In this episode, Mike and I chat about his getting into the music business as a teen in Denmark, and what that was like with his band Mabel. Then we talk about why he felt the need to come to New York to start the rock band White Lion. Naturally we discuss this band's success, and specifically my favorite of their songs "When the Children Cry". We dive into the meaning behind the lyrics, and I give my own interpretation of its meaning at the time to a pre-teen me. Mike graciously lets me play that track, and then we move onto his newest project. In 2023, 2024, & 2025, Mike has released the albums: "Songs of White Lion", "Songs of White Lion Vol II", & "Songs of White Lion Vol III", respectively. He explains why he felt the need to do this and even lets me play one of the new tracks from this third installment. Along the way, we discuss some of Mike's early influences like: Thin Lizzy, Ronnie James Dio, Freddy Mercury, and more. Mike Tramp is everything you hope an 80s rock front man would be. Great guy, open and honest, and generous with his time and talent. Follow Mike on all the socials, find him playing live all over the world, and check out his 16 solo records as well as the newest "Songs of White Lion" installment.

Adam: You may have heard me talking here a couple of weeks ago about the Quarrelmen Beatles miniseries I'm doing. It's my birthday so I'm birthing it everywhere you get your podcasts plus I'm putting the first episode here too to tempt you into subscribing. You're not gonna be able to resist after hearing this episode that we did at none other than Abbey Road Studios when my band Stones n Roses was on tour there back in 2021. I told the other We Will Rank You hosts I'd have all the Beatles albums ranked within a year. Four years later, I've only recorded about half of them but here they come! You're not going to see any more episodes here until the one where all four OG hosts ranked- Well I'm not telling you which one. You'll have to wait and see and if you want to hear Jim and I rank an album in Liverpool, you'll just have to figure out how to spell Quarrelmen and go subscribe, won't you? WON'T you? We're on Facebook, Instagram and Threads too so do the thing. Breaking up the band to start a solo career? Nah but, for now, here's the Fab Four…. THE QUARRELMEN PODCAST #1Please Please Me ranked at Abbey RoadWhat's your most loved and least favorite song on the first Beatles album?! One, two, three, FAH! The Quarrelmen Beatles podcast miniseries kicks off with England's own Richard Merrett (Airhead/the Wilsons) and his young sons Frank and George Merrett ranking Please Please Me in the most famous studio in the world. Recorded back in 2021 at the end of the last Stones n' Roses UK tour, the California band recorded a version of "Revolution 9" with 1960s microphones used by "the boys" and Beatles Anthology, Rock Band and Love engineer Chris Bolster with Joe Wyatt (now Giles Martin's assistant). After a quick photoshoot of the band walking across THE street, singer Adam Gimbel welcomed the Merretts into the cozy Gatehouse studio to record the very first episode of the Quarrelmen. He had no idea it would be four busy, crazy years before the world would hear it. The kids are now senior citizens. The results are, quite simply, the most endearing Beatles podcast episode ever immortalized at Abbey Road....or anywhere else. Decades of fandom and childlike wonder collide with memories and a ranking of least and most favorites on the 1963 classic debut.

Meet Michael J. Wistock: The Executive by Day, Rockstar by NightWhat does it take to thrive in two drastically different worlds—corporate boardrooms and rock stages—while still managing to keep your feet on the ground (and your heart full)? My guest, Michael J. Wistock, is the definition of a modern renaissance man who proves that passion and professionalism don't have to live in separate lanes.By title, Michael holds a high-powered position in the corporate world as Senior Vice President of Global Sales in the telecom space. His work takes him around the globe, navigating strategic partnerships, closing multimillion-dollar deals, and leading teams in high-stakes environments. But what truly sets Michael apart is that once the blazer comes off, the mic comes on.That's right—Michael is also the frontman and creative heartbeat behind The Sunset Riot, a rock band that blends gritty soul, explosive guitar riffs, and raw emotion into a sound that stays with you long after the lights go down. Whether it's writing lyrics in hotel rooms between meetings or flying straight from a client dinner to a soundcheck, Michael juggles it all with a rare kind of grace and grit.And just when you think his plate couldn't get any fuller—he recently stepped into another lifelong role: husband. Michael is newly married to the beautiful Red, his partner, muse, and biggest supporter. Her influence is woven into much of his music and decision-making, offering him both grounding and inspiration in equal measure.It's not just about balance for Michael—it's about integration. He doesn't compartmentalize his life; he blends it. Each role fuels the other. His corporate mindset brings structure and drive to the band, while the creative spark from music adds color and emotional depth to his business strategies.In our conversation, we dive into how Michael manages the constant travel, the secret to switching gears between boardrooms and backstage, and how love, music, and leadership all play into his ever-evolving journey. Trust me—you don't want to miss this one.

On this episode of the BobbyCast, Bobby sits down with brothers Matt and Scott Thomas from the band Parmalee. Bobby kicks things off by asking the guys where the name Parmalee comes from and why they were being pushed as a rock band in the early years. Plus, after maxing out all their credit cards, the guys told the story of asking their mom for $11K, her taking out a 2nd mortgage on her house, and how she saved their career. They also talked about living in an RV in a parking lot, and a famous metal band they would get confused with.
