Frank Hannon of Tesla is up first. The band is about to hop out on tour with Extreme and Motley. As a matter of fact, they're sandwiched right between both bands. A little bit of heavy lifting to be sure. He told me they've never really had the chance to meet or tour with the Extreme guys. We discussed the debut album, which turns 40 this December. They recorded it in upstate New York. He also told me why the band covered the song "Little Suzi", which some people probably don't know that it's a cover song. We also talked about his horses and the upcoming covers record called Homage. Yes, they are covering a Bob Seger song. That's just for starters with Frank....Jesse James Dupree is up next. The Jackyl frontman talks about the upcoming festivities at Sturgis for the motorcycle rally. Lots of bands playing and lots of riding to be had. Sammy Hagar, Rob Zombie, and, of course, Jackyl playing the Full Throttle Saloon. Oh, there is a Detroit favorite playing that Friday as well!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, I don't bother with segments and end up just ranting about Sammy Hagar, the government, my new laptop, and recording music. Why weren't there segments? Laziness. Why were those the topics? Shut up. Enjoy! Blog: http://emptychecking.blogspot.com Bandcamp: http://derekbrink.bandcamp.com email: db@derekbrink.com

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness gathers famous names who swear the paranormal found them, a Puerto Rican legend that ties dead Chupacabras to a crashed UFO, a Honduran town where fish fall from the sky, and a Wisconsin candy store with a listener's uneasy childhood dream folded in.It opens with celebrities who came away convinced. Carrie Fisher described lights and electronics switching on and off in her Beverly Hills home after her friend R. Gregory Stevens died there; Matthew McConaughey named the blue-dressed spirit he confronted in his house Madame Blu; and a young Keanu Reeves watched an empty jacket drift through a doorway in his New York apartment, the reality of it confirmed only by his nanny's face. Patrick Stewart saw a man in a beige coat vanish in the wings of the Theatre Royal Haymarket during Waiting for Godot, later matched to the ghost of 19th-century actor-manager Baldwin Buckstone, who died in 1879. Peter Jackson woke to a woman with a screaming face at the foot of his bed near London's St. James Theatre, a ghost his wife had seen two years earlier. Miley Cyrus fled a London flat over a boy she kept seeing on the bathroom sink; Ariana Grande photographed what she called textbook demon faces at Kansas's Stull Cemetery and found the file measured 666 megabytes; and David Bowie spent much of the 1970s certain a coven of witches wanted his semen, lighting black candles and hiring white magician Walli Elmlark to exorcise his swimming pool. John Lennon, by Uri Geller's account, described bug-like beings outside his apartment and an alien metal egg left in his hands, while Sammy Hagar claimed aliens plugged his sleeping brain into a machine and uploaded numerical code in 1967. Shorter accounts follow from Megan Mullally, Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Chloe Sevigny at the Lizzie Borden house, NASCAR's Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Lucy Hale, Laura Linney at Broadway's Belasco Theater, Claudia Schiffer, Emma Stone, Selena Gomez, Alyson Hannigan, Demi Lovato, Jenna Bush-Hager in the White House, and Megan Fox.From there the episode travels to Puerto Rico, where writer Nick Redfern chases the claim that the shuttered Roosevelt Roads Naval Station once held the bodies of dead Chupacabras the way Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is rumored to hold dead aliens. On visits between 2004 and 2015, Redfern and monster-hunter Jon Downes collect accounts of a 1957 UFO crash in the hills of Canovanas, sealed off by the military for roughly three weeks, and a second reported crash in the El Yunque rain forest in February 1984 — both said to have left dead Chupacabras in the wreckage, though the creature angle only attached itself to the older case after the Chupacabra panic began in 1995.Next comes Yoro, Honduras, and the Lluvia de Peces, the Rain of Fish that residents trace to Father Jose Manuel Subirana, a Spanish missionary who prayed three days and nights over the region's hunger in the 1850s or '60s. Once or twice a year after a heavy May or June storm, live sardine-like fish cover the streets of a town more than 100 miles from the ocean, and a National Geographic team in the 1970s found the stranded fish were completely blind, hypothesizing underground rivers forced above ground by flooding rather than the waterspouts others propose. The town of roughly 93,000 celebrates with a festival, a parade, and a Miss Fish Rain crowned to ride a float dressed as a mermaid, and locals refuse to sell the catch, sharing it instead as a blessing.The episode closes with Weirdo family member Laura, who worked summers at a haunted candy store in a Wisconsin tourist town, a converted house where a ceramic jar once flew across a room at a coworker. That coworker, a Canadian tribeswoman from a family with the 'sight,' listened to Laura describe a dream that returned every Christmas Eve until she was six or seven — a black, pulsing void of indistinct voices that rose to screams and a pressure closing on her chest, replaced in its final occurrence by an overhead view of a storage yard before it stopped for good. When Laura finished, the coworker told her it was a good thing she never listened to the voices, and suggested Laura had unconsciously sealed off her own ability to sense the spiritual after something that was not benevolent kept trying to reach her.
Trump just declared the Iran peace deal is over and said he's done dealing with “sick people.” Iran attacked commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting President Trump to order U.S. airstrikes on over 80 Iranian targets. This comes after a preliminary peace deal signed in June that aimed to reopen shipping lanes and address Iran's nuclear program. But Iran violated it by pushing for control and fees over the vital waterway. At the NATO summit in Ankara, Trump didn't hold back, calling the Iranians scum, vicious, violent people, liars, cheats, and sick people. He made it clear he thinks it's over and doesn't want to waste any more time negotiating with them. Pat also covered: Pat Gray talks to Mitch McConnell for 6 hours over the phone??? Bigfoot corpse found — now headed to New York display. Mamdani tells Platner to drop out after assault allegation. Ken Paxton and mistress spotted in London over July 4th. Walmart slashed prices on hundreds of items including ground beef, and Trump is taking credit. Do you think Trump is right to walk away from any further deals with Iran?

If you've ever wondered how one conversation can bounce from Taylor Swift wedding conspiracies to Paul Stanley's unbelievably awkward stage banter before somehow landing on PlayStation drama and David Lee Roth singing in Spanish... congratulations. You've found your people.Today's comedy podcast starts with Rafe unveiling a brand-new game, Swifty or Shifty, to determine who actually knows what's real—and what's internet nonsense—about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding saga. The crew immediately dives back into the ongoing bet over whether the wedding at Madison Square Garden actually counts, because no Rizz Show argument is ever allowed to end peacefully.Then the internet delivers one of the funniest clips imaginable: Paul Stanley honoring the victims of the Manchester bombing... before instantly asking the crowd, "How many girls here like to get licked?" as KISS launches into Lick It Up. The gang completely loses it trying to imagine a worse song transition.From there it's full-speed chaos.The crew debates Collider's list of the greatest video games ever made, argues whether GoldenEye, Grand Theft Auto, Halo, Pac-Man, and Doom got robbed, and discusses Sony's plan to move future PlayStation releases to digital-only media. Does anyone actually own their games anymore? Is everything becoming another subscription? The paranoia is real.In Crap on Celebrities:• Green Day releases new music.• Taylor Swift wedding documentary rumors get shut down.• Sammy Hagar reunites with Jason Bonham.• David Lee Roth's legendary (and very questionable) Spanish-language album gets a birthday.• Jeopardy! is hiring clue writers for up to $178,000.• Ali G returns.• Harold & Kumar 4 is officially happening.• Britney Spears' biopic finds its writer.• The Rock keeps chasing dramatic movie roles.• The gang reminisces about movies filmed in St. Louis.Plus birthdays, Nepo Baby jokes, video game nostalgia, rock history, movie trivia, celebrity gossip, and the kind of sarcastic conversations that somehow make perfect sense after about three cups of coffee.Whether you're here for celebrity chaos, weird news, pop culture arguments, or just listening to friends derail every topic imaginable, this comedy podcast delivers another completely ridiculous morning with The Rizzuto Show.If you laughed, argued with your speakers, or immediately looked up that Paul Stanley clip... mission accomplished.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show weekdays on 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio | St. Louis, MissouriSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Happy Hump Day! There are celebrity weddings... there are relationship disasters... and then there are mornings where The Rizzuto Show somehow manages to cram both into one completely ridiculous daily comedy show.Happy Hump Day! The gang turns an ordinary Wednesday into two-and-a-half hours of relationship debates, questionable life choices, bizarre internet conspiracies, celebrity chaos, weird news, and enough sarcastic commentary to make your therapist schedule a follow-up appointment.Rizz kicks things off by preparing for wisdom tooth surgery while the crew campaigns to revive one of the show's most legendary Radiothon traditions. Naturally, that conversation immediately spirals into fundraising, public roasting, and debating exactly how much money it would take to humiliate someone for a good cause.Technology doesn't fare much better. Rizz accidentally ignores his wife thanks to his Meta smart glasses, proving that answering a phone call during a romantic walk is a surprisingly effective way to lose Husband of the Year honors. That launches a conversation about wearable tech, modern relationships, and whether our gadgets are helping us stay connected—or just creating brand-new ways to get into trouble.Relationship Court officially returns with listener dilemmas involving blended families, difficult exes, parenting, teenage ultimatums, postpartum anxiety, expensive concert tickets, and whether friends are actually obligated to sacrifice their own plans when someone else's night takes an emotional turn. As always, everyone has an opinion, nobody agrees, and somebody inevitably gets roasted.Of course, no morning would be complete without one of the internet's greatest relationship debates. A woman considers ending her relationship because her boyfriend's obsession with potato chips has completely taken over his life. Three bags a day. Crumbs everywhere. Finger dust. Hidden snack stashes. McDonald's instead of local cuisine while traveling overseas. Somehow this turns into one of the funniest—and weirdly most divisive—conversations of the day.Meanwhile, Rafe unveils a brand-new game, Swifty or Shifty, challenging everyone to separate real Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding stories from completely fabricated internet nonsense. Before long, the crew is debating celebrity wedding conspiracies, impossible reception menus, sports legends, billionaire wedding budgets, and whether chicken nuggets topped with caviar should ever exist. Confidence is mandatory. Accuracy is optional.The celebrity chaos keeps rolling as the gang reacts to one of the most unintentionally hilarious concert moments ever, when Paul Stanley delivers an emotional tribute before immediately launching into one of KISS's most awkward song transitions imaginable. From there, the conversation bounces into Green Day's latest music, Sammy Hagar reuniting with Jason Bonham, David Lee Roth's unforgettable Spanish-language album, Harold & Kumar 4, Britney Spears' upcoming biopic, Ali G's return, Jeopardy! hiring clue writers, and The Rock's continued quest to prove he's a dramatic actor.Then it's time for a healthy dose of gaming nostalgia. The crew debates Collider's greatest video games of all time, argues over GoldenEye, Grand Theft Auto, Halo, Pac-Man, Doom, and whether today's players will ever truly own their games again as PlayStation continues moving toward a digital-only future.As if things couldn't get stranger, a Missouri man gets arrested while proudly wearing the promotional T-shirt from the very bail bonds company that had recently gotten him out of jail. That unbelievable mugshot sparks one of the day's most unexpectedly fascinating conversations as the crew dives into how bail bonds, bounty hunters, collateral, and the legal system actually work—complete with Rafe's unforgettable Current River stories and a reminder that showing up for court is generally considered a good idea.Along the way you'll hear conversations about smart glasses, travel compatibility, embarrassing eating habits, floating Missouri rivers, celebrity gossip, rock history, video game nostalgia, weird news, family dynamics, movie trivia, pop culture, listener dilemmas, and plenty of classic Rizz Show tangents where nobody remembers how the conversation started—but everyone is glad it happened anyway.Whether you're here for ridiculous listener stories, celebrity gossip, bizarre internet theories, hilarious fails, or just listening to friends derail every topic imaginable, this daily comedy show delivers exactly the unpredictable chaos you've come to expect from The Rizzuto Show.Thanks for hanging out with us. If today's episode taught us anything, it's that relationships are complicated, potato chips are apparently controversial, celebrity wedding conspiracies have officially gone too far, and maybe don't wear your bail bonds T-shirt for your next mugshot.If you laughed, argued with your speakers, immediately Googled Paul Stanley's awkward stage banter, or started questioning your own snack habits, mission accomplished.Be sure to subscribe and never miss another episode of your favorite daily comedy show.A Marketing Boon For Bail Bonds Business‘Snake the Bigfoot Hunter' claims he unearthed scientific proof of Sasquatch — and DNA shows it's part humanHazelwood snack bar factory to close, lay off hundreds of employeesFollow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Pat and Scott talk about Sonny Hostin, Sammy Hagar's #250 Independence Performance and the new George Washington movie.
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.

Hour 1 of The Marc Cox Morning Show opens with Marc's own Lake of the Ozarks adventure — a monster bass and a terrifying 70 mph storm — before diving into the FIFA/Team USA soccer controversy and a full-throated defense of President Trump against the left's reflexive outrage. Marc and Kim tear through the collapsing Graham Plattner scandal in Maine, The View's unhinged American flag comments, and the absurd backlash against Sammy Hagar for honoring America's 250th birthday. Kim on a Whim tackles the end of DOGE and Missouri's own fight over Amendment 5, with an assist from Riley Gaines calling out California's crime stat games. Marc closes the hour making the conservative case for personal responsibility on the water and at the ballot box, urging listeners not to fall for scare tactics on eliminating the state income tax. Buckle up — Hour 2 brings Scott Rosenblum, Mark Walters, and John Lamping.

Somehow we've already reached the point where the conversation spirals from Steven Spielberg's new alien movie into whether Lear's digestive system could accidentally start an interplanetary war.Just another totally normal morning.The gang kicks things off with a packed weekend preview, including Lear's big Pageant event, Moon's soccer watch party in Illinois, and the upcoming Night at the Rizzlies. Then things take a sharp left turn into the great extraterrestrial debate after discussion of Spielberg's latest sci-fi blockbuster sparks a surprisingly deep conversation about intelligent life beyond Earth.Do aliens exist? Are they already here? Is Earth basically the North Sentinel Island of the galaxy? Could heaven secretly be a spaceship? These are apparently the questions that happen when you give a radio show access to microphones before coffee fully kicks in.The crew dives into theories ranging from religion and simulation concepts to alien overlords, government coverups, and whether any of us would voluntarily board a mysterious spacecraft in the middle of nowhere. Some members of the show are ready to leave Earth immediately. Others have follow-up questions about bathrooms.There's also a healthy amount of celebrity and entertainment chaos. Learn breaks down the new Sublime album featuring Jakob Nowell, Fleetwood Mac's upgraded greatest-hits collection, Motley Crue's theatrical return, Sammy Hagar's upcoming tour, and Larry David's newest HBO project. Along the way, the gang somehow turns a discussion about classic rock into a deep dive on band members dating each other, divorcing each other, and then somehow continuing to make hit records together.The movie conversation keeps rolling with discussions about Spielberg's return to alien storytelling, the highest-rated films of the last 25 years, Christopher Nolan's domination of IMDb rankings, and why Whiplash remains one of the most stressful movies ever made.It's the kind of daily comedy show episode that starts with local events and ends with humanity questioning its place in the universe.If you enjoy pop culture commentary, weird news, celebrity gossip, classic rock debates, science-fiction rabbit holes, and a daily comedy show that never stays on topic for more than three minutes, Episode 200 delivers exactly the kind of beautiful disaster you'd expect from The Rizzuto Show.Thanks for making this daily comedy show part of your day.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

From backyard parties to rock superstardom!
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.

Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge kick off the show with an update on Mark's recovery from bicep surgery, along with stories from the weekend that included golf, the Bourbon Festival, and a Sammy Hagar concert. The discussion turns to the Trump-Iran ceasefire and oil agreement, examining whether the deal brings stability to the Middle East or provides Iran with additional leverage while tensions remain high across the region. The hosts cover the arrest of a suspect accused of molesting children at the Shaw Park Aquatic Center in Clayton, prompting concerns about safety at public pools and whether additional victims could come forward. They also discuss MoDOT's Manchester Road speed study, major road closures, bridge restrictions, and the growing impact of infrastructure issues on St. Louis commuters. In this week's "Kim on a Whim," Kim explores the controversy surrounding three San Francisco Giants pitchers who wore Pride Night caps featuring handwritten Bible verses from Genesis. The conversation expands into religious expression in professional sports, claims of selective enforcement by leagues and teams, Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway's response to MLB, and broader questions about faith, inclusion, free expression, and who gets to define the meaning of cultural symbols like the rainbow.

Somehow we've already reached the point where the conversation spirals from Steven Spielberg's new alien movie into whether Lear's digestive system could accidentally start an interplanetary war.Just another totally normal morning.The gang kicks things off with a packed weekend preview, including Lear's big Pageant event, Moon's soccer watch party in Illinois, and the upcoming Night at the Rizzlies. Then things take a sharp left turn into the great extraterrestrial debate after discussion of Spielberg's latest sci-fi blockbuster sparks a surprisingly deep conversation about intelligent life beyond Earth.Do aliens exist? Are they already here? Is Earth basically the North Sentinel Island of the galaxy? Could heaven secretly be a spaceship? These are apparently the questions that happen when you give a radio show access to microphones before coffee fully kicks in.The crew dives into theories ranging from religion and simulation concepts to alien overlords, government coverups, and whether any of us would voluntarily board a mysterious spacecraft in the middle of nowhere. Some members of the show are ready to leave Earth immediately. Others have follow-up questions about bathrooms.There's also a healthy amount of celebrity and entertainment chaos. Learn breaks down the new Sublime album featuring Jakob Nowell, Fleetwood Mac's upgraded greatest-hits collection, Motley Crue's theatrical return, Sammy Hagar's upcoming tour, and Larry David's newest HBO project. Along the way, the gang somehow turns a discussion about classic rock into a deep dive on band members dating each other, divorcing each other, and then somehow continuing to make hit records together.The movie conversation keeps rolling with discussions about Spielberg's return to alien storytelling, the highest-rated films of the last 25 years, Christopher Nolan's domination of IMDb rankings, and why Whiplash remains one of the most stressful movies ever made.Plus:The Blues' Stanley Cup anniversary memoriesO.J.

Sammy Hagar has made a bold claim: Eddie Van Halen didn't just change guitar playing—he saved guitar players. On a recent interview, Hagar praised Eddie as a "music god," comparing his genius to Beethoven and crediting him with revolutionizing not only guitar, but modern rock music itself. According to Sammy, without Eddie's innovations—tapping, whammy bar techniques, groundbreaking songwriting, and keyboard work—guitarists may have been left behind in a world dominated by electronic music and technology. Hagar also reflects on how working with Eddie Van Halen made him a better singer, songwriter, and musician. From classics like Love Walks In and Black and Blue to later-era masterpieces from Balance, Sammy argues that some of Eddie's most advanced and underrated work came during the Van Halen years they shared together. Did Eddie Van Halen save guitar players? Was his later work even more impressive than the early classics?

On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen on Johnny Beane TV, we dive into some major praise for Van Halen from one of the world's biggest podcasts! During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe Rogan and investor, mathematician, and physicist Eric Weinstein discussed the impact of Van Halen and the legacy of Eddie Van Halen. Rogan called Van Halen with David Lee Roth "literally a perfect band," saying they were one of the greatest rock bands of all time and a defining part of his high school years. Rogan also argued that Eddie Van Halen never received the mainstream credit he deserved for completely changing the guitar world. The conversation touched on the band's evolution into the Sammy Hagar era, with Rogan noting that while the band became even more popular, it was a different sound from the original Van Halen that revolutionized rock music. Did Eddie Van Halen get the recognition he deserved? Was the original Van Halen the perfect rock band? Join us as we break down Rogan and Eric Weinstein's comments and discuss the lasting impact of the world's most influential guitarist! #VanHalen #EddieVanHalen #JoeRogan #ExclusivelyVanHalen #EricWeinstein
We started First Concert Memories, the monthly series from The Ugly American Werewolf in London Rock Podcast, we wanted to capture the passion of rock fans who were turned on (usually at a young age) by the power of a great live rock show. That passion comes from childhood and teenage fandom of bands that hit you in just the right spot in your heart, mind and time of your life. For our generation, that was Van Halen. The genius of Eddie Van Halen's guitar against the raw vocals of David Lee Roth catapulted the boys into superstardom as they were loved by hard rockers, guitar heads, MTV, adoring females, and record company execs. That's why we can do our 3rd FCM on Van Halen because they were that big and they changed their sets so much over the years (not to mention lineups) that there are lots of entry points depending on your age. Tim Durling of Tim's Vinyl Confessions is just a bit younger than Action Jackson and The Wolf so while our heroes first show was the For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge Tour, Tim first so the fellas on the Balance Tour in 1995. Van Halen were Tim's favorite band but because the band never toured Atlantic Canada where he grew up, there were few opportunities to catch them live. Once he was old enough to drive across the border with his buddies, he finally caught Eddie, Alex, Mike & Sammy in Maine in August of 1995. Tim knows Van Halen and at the time they were still his favorite band. He's even written a book on Sammy Hagar , Red on Black, so seeing his heroes was a dream come true. There were some disappointments with the opening band and the setlist was very heavy on Sammy era. But we never forget our first Van Halen concert and Tim is a rock n roll veteran who knows the real deal when he sees it.

Whisp Turlington and Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock are back in the Rock & Roll RV, where Sammy Hagar still refuses to explain the one true way to rock, Mayor Lee Roth is cutting multiple ribbons on Hog Street, and Big Truck is preparing to hawkcast from the Val Verde Municipal Dump VIP Preview Night. Plus, the kids of Val Verde are being forced to learn Squeeze lyrics before multiplication, which is how you build a better future.This week, comedian and longtime Daily Show writer Matt Koff pulls into Val Verde to promote his special Cat Man, discuss his upcoming shows at Dingbats, and reveal that he grew up in Greg Lake inside a submarine where he was homeschooled under crushing water pressure. Naturally, this leads to duck boats, funnel cakes, dead therapists, Geoff Foxworthy confusion, Punisher cat theories, and the annual Greg Lake sacrifice to the Beast.Also on this week's broadcast:Whisp attends Mayor Lee Roth's second ribbon cutting on Hog Street and waits four hours to find the real ribbon.Val Verde News covers a storm drain duckling, a boardwalk curfew, a confidence-shaken funnel cake stand, and the growing menace of Big Duckling.Hawk Rock News checks in on Pet Sounds, the Eagles' Long Goodbye Act 3, Mike Love's hat, and the rising savings power of the Food Gulch loyalty card.Watch Cat Man here: https://veeps.com/mattkoff/c2a88ddf-64f8-4195-bb57-2c8b4e47cc27Subscribe to 108.9 The Hawk wherever you get podcasts.

In this episode, the Bo-Hosts celebrate the 38th Anniversary of Van Halen's multi-platinum sophomore album, OU812. Released on May 24, 1988, OU812 (pronounced "Oh You Ate One Too") debuted at #1 on the US Billboard 200 chart and was the Sammy Hagar-fronted band's second consecutive studio album to hit the top spot. The classic, but equally controversial album (due to it's lack of low-end Michael Anthony), spawned four Top-40 singles, including the smash hit "When It's Love". But after 38 years, the Bo-hosts revisit the album's overlooked cookers, such as "AFU", "Source of Infection" and "Black and Blue", to discuss why they should be re-appraised, their VH rankings and their sonic-siblings!So crack open a Sammy libation of choice, set the DeLorean's controls for the sun-drenched days of 1988 and join the Bo-Hosts for an episode so big it needed to be split in half!

EPISODE #125 - One of the most important people in making Van Halen a successful band was engineer/producer Donn Landee. He served as an engineer on the first six VH albums with David Lee Roth and as an engineer/producer on “5150” and “OU812” during the Sammy Hagar years. Landee was also responsible for building Eddie Van Halen's home studio, 5150. The impact he had on Van Halen was immeasurable. Additionally, he worked alongside producer Ted Templeman on other famous acts like the Doobie Brothers, Little Feat, Nicolette Larson and many others. In tribute, the Daves do a deep dive interview with author Greg Renoff who had conducted several interviews with Landee for his books ("Van Halen Rising" and "Ted Templeman: A Platinum Producer's Life in Music") and an extensive story for Tape Op magazine. A fun Van Halen News segment and colorful mailbag session completes this May episode.Download the podcast for free on Spreaker, iHeartRadio, Spotify, Google podcasts, Amazon Music, Podvine or iTunes.

Kick-off those worn-out shoes, let your hair down and pour yourself some lite roast, because the Bo-Hosts welcome you to: Sammy Sunday Mornings! The "BONUS OTIS" mini-episodes are bite-sized and focus on the mellower side of the RedRocker's catalog!In this episode, the Bo-Hosts prove again that Sammy Hagar writes solid lyrics! More proof you ask? Well, how many other artists write songs with lyrics that are just as relevant- if not more so- five decades after the song's release?! It's almost like Sammy borrowed Marty's Delorean to write the eerily prophetic "Crack in the World" off 1976's Musical Chairs. This song's incredibly spot-on lyrics warn about the coming social/political/financial polarity and that specifically "in 2025" there will be a "great divide". CRAZY RIGHT!? How did Sammy nail this insights like these 50 years ago?! Hold up, it's not Sammy's only prophetic song, but it could be his "prog-rock-iest" lyrical prediction for sure!Is this Sammy in "full Floyd" mode? Well, let us know as we slowed down the outro by 10%...so put your feet up and join the Bo-Hosts for another lazy, hazy, Sammy Sunday!All songs available for purchase on iTunes! We bought it- so should you!Be sure to check out our Sammy Sunday Mornings playlist on Spotify!"What is understood...NEED be discussed"Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085582159917Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebogusotisshow/?hl=enX:https://x.com/BogusOtisShowYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@TheBogusOtisShowTik Tok:https://www.tiktok.com/@thebogusotisshowConnect with the Bo-Hosts:bogusotisshow@gmail.com
This week the people demanded it, and we complied! Therefore, we give you “Grave Mistake: ZEBRA Shoulda Been Huge!!!”. This is our celebration of an amazing power trio from New Orleans / Long Island that has been largely forgotten in the pantheon of rock n' roll. They also happen to be very musically proficient, with a bona fide guitar god in the band that rarely gets the praise he deserves! This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. This is a band that Captain Content casually mentioned a few weeks ago and our socials lit up like a Christmas tree. While their first album went gold in the US, they have been largely forgotten in the hard rock world today. We think they should be remembered as titans of rock alongside the likes of RUSH and TRIUMPH! Songs this week include: Zebra - “Tell Me What You Want” from Zebra (1983) Zebra - “As I Said Before” from Zebra (1983) Zebra - “No Tellin' Lies” from No Tellin' Lies (1984) Zebra - “Drive Me Crazy” from No Tellin' Lies (1984) Zebra - “Better Not Call” from 3.V (1986) Zebra - “Wait Until The Summer's Gone” from Zebra Live (1990) Zebra - “K.K. Is Hiding” from IV (2003) Zebra - “Walk With You” from Live At City Winery (Boston, MA 10/11/25) (2025) Zebra - “Who's Behind The Door” from Zebra Live (1990) Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!
