Podcasts about Sunset Strip

Formed in Los Angeles' lengendary Sunset Strip in 1985, Guns N' Roses quickly rose from the gritty club scene to become one of the biggest acts in rock music - achieving massive commercial success and becoming a top live draw in under three years. Along the way, their meteoric rise was matched by no shortage of controversy, internal conflict, and headline-making moments.  In the book "Guns N' Roses at 40", acclaimed rock historian and author Martin Popoff explores 40 priotal moments that shaped the band's legacy - from their formation and  breakout success to major tours, iconic releases, creative partnerships, internal struggles, and everthing in between.  We were thrilled to be speaking with Martin Popoff about his new book. With over 100 titles to his name on topics ragning from hard rock and heavy metal to classic rock and vinyl collection, Martin's work includes Rush" The Illustrated History, Led Zeppelin: Song By Song, Pink Floyd: Album by Album, Bowie at 75, AC/DC at 50, KISS at 50 and more. He also contributed to the award-winning docuemtaries Rush: Beyond the LIghted Stage and ZZ Top: That Little Ol' Band From Texas.   

“If they're not fat, they're soft…” Think back to The Sunset Strip and the emerging metal scene of the early 80's, full of sleaze, shred, and riffs, long before the emergence of the “serious glam” and “serious thrash” of the mid to late 80's. METAL HEALTH and OUT OF THE CELLAR, released in 1983 and 1984, by QUIET RIOT and RATT (respectively) both preceded the hair metal movement of the late 80's and ironically (to a great extent) helped to define it.    While both METAL HEALTH and OUT OF THE CELLAR were “more metal than we thought”, each album has its share of pros and cons, with some tracks drowning in 80's nostalgia that sound a bit dated by today's standards, and others possessing a far more timeless heavy metal quality that still holds up and sounds awesome even today.    It's time to “purse the lips up a little bit” and grab the attention of those who smell like “Aqua Net and Marlboros” that are wearing the “bustiers and leopard skin spandex” who just want to “use the bathroom”.   Discover the shared traits which “vegans and wizards” have in common, find out why squirrels are “deadass” the dumbest creatures on earth and why some birds are “a little bit touched”, go ahead and submit your early enrollment for “Juilliard Speech School” and get ready to do some “edging” to try and replicate “the weird feeling” you had when you were 10 when you JOIN US for the SUNSET STRIP EDITION  of our HEAD-TO-HEAD DEATHMATCH featuring 2 of the greatest debut albums in the history of early 80's metal, METAL HEALTH by QUIET RIOT and OUT OF THE CELLAR by RATT.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can't be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast Show Notes: (00:01): “He became a recluse…” / “Have you ever seen a fat vegan…ever?” / “If they're not fat, they're soft.” / ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised *** / “I was influenced to do that…squigglies and boobs…”/ #downstairssquiggly / ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST!!!*** / #thisepisodesbeeroftheepisode / “I am worried…I'm worried, dude…”/ #NewHaze #MasonAleWorks #ZombieWars #ninepointfiveABV / “Lime green…shag…on the walls, on the floor…that's new corporate condo carpet…this is NOT #daydrinking…”    (05:25): “I feel terrible…” / #RussellsReflections / “It was a squirrel…I went out of my way…”/ #deadass / “Every squirrel looks EXACTLY the same…”/ #squirreldrones / “If the earth is flat, why can't we see #Everest?” / “It's like we're standing on a great big deck…”/ #overlymuch / “Without women, we wouldn't have…”/ “But also…”/ “Not to one up your story…I didn't do it on purpose, but it came from nowhere…”/ “Here's a weird ghost question…did I tell you guys about the time I heard 1 bird chirping at 1 a.m.?” / #touched #specialneedsbird / #JuilliardSpeechSchool    (14:14): PATREON SHOUT OUT!!!

On this album, we discuss one of the greatest one hit wonders of Christian rock history, Rage of Angels.

EPYSODE 41: "In The Beginning". Guest: Genesis bassist "Foxy" Fred Rivera. This week on The Vinyl Relics Podcast, we dive into one of the great overlooked curiosities of late-‘60s American rock: "In the Beginning" by the Los Angeles-based Genesis — not the British prog giants, but a raw, garage-psych outfit that burned bright and fast in 1968. With its blend of fuzzed-out guitars, moody organ lines, and Sunset Strip attitude, this epysode uncovers why this album has become a cult favorite among psych-rock collectors and crate diggers alike. Even better — we're joined by  guest Fred “Foxy” Rivera, the original bassist of the band, who shares exclusive firsthand stories from inside the L.A. scene, the band's short-lived journey, and what really went down behind the recording of their one and only album. Tune in, turn on & drop by and rediscover the other Genesis — before Genesis was Genesis. I hope you dig "In The Beginning" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X here --> @VinylRelicsPod Email me here --> ⁠farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com⁠ ===LINKS=== You need to check out Fred Rivera's book "Raw Man".

The Glam Album That's Actually Power Pop Gold: Enuff Z'Nuff's Dazzling 1989 DebutYou've seen the neon. You've heard the name. But have you listened? Enuff Z'Nuff's self-titled 1989 debut is a glittering paradox: glam on the outside, power pop on the inside. Packed with lush harmonies, Beatlesque melodies, and MTV-ready swagger, it was a record caught between worlds—and in this episode, we unpack every hook, story, and squealing solo.We dig into why this record, released in the chaos of late-'80s rock, still feels so timeless. From the genre-defying sound to the band's rollercoaster history, we explore what makes Enuff Z'Nuff an underdog classic that not only beat Iron Maiden in a fan vote, but continues to inspire debate decades later.If you're into Cheap Trick, Jellyfish, The Posies, or even early Oasis, this one's for you. It's glam with heart. Pop with punch. And a whole lot of sequins.

In this packed episode of Exclusively Van Halen, we dive deep into a pivotal moment in Van Halen history — the day Eddie Van Halen nearly left the band to join Kiss. Gene Simmons claims it happened on the same day Eddie played him a demo of “Jump,” a song that shocked the Kiss co-founders with its lack of guitar. “So you're going to add guitars?” Gene asked. “No, that's it,” Eddie replied — marking a bold shift in his musical direction in 1983. We trace the history of Gene Simmons' involvement with Van Halen, from the band's early days at Gazzarri's on the Sunset Strip to the now-famous Zero demo he produced. We also discuss the internal friction between Eddie and David Lee Roth that led Eddie to consider jumping ship and joining Kiss — a move Gene ultimately talked him out of. Then, we shift gears to honor the legacy of Rick Derringer, the American rock icon who passed away recently. Known for “Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo,” Derringer played a surprising role in the Van Halen story. We talk about the early days when Van Halen covered Derringer's songs live, and we revisit the unforgettable moment when Rick Derringer and Eddie Van Halen jammed together at NAMM, a rare and electrifying meeting of guitar heroes. It's an episode full of deep cuts, rock history, and behind-the-scenes stories that link Van Halen, Kiss, and Rick Derringer in unexpected and unforgettable ways. I showed off some of my Van Halen striped guitars talked about each one a little bit.  And thank you to Bay Area Rich we unboxed a mystery “canned good item”.

Send us a textEpisode 200Before the top hat, before the roaring solos that defined a generation, and long before the stadiums full of screaming fans, there was just a kid named Saul.Born to a mixed-race couple in the UK — a free-spirited Black American artist mother and a white English album cover designer father — Saul Hudson's early years were anything but typical. He spent his earliest days in the quiet English town of Stoke-on-Trent, a far cry from the wild energy of the Sunset Strip that would later become his playground.At just six years old, Saul was pulled from the rainy streets of England and dropped into the vibrant chaos of Los Angeles, a city that would shape him, challenge him, and ultimately crown him as one of rock's greatest icons.This is the story of those early years — the influences, the chaos, the creativity — and how a quiet kid with a wild imagination became the legend we now know simply as Slash.Support the showInsta@justpassingthroughpodcastContact:justpassingthroughpodcast@gmail.com

Let Us Know What You Think of the Show!Date: April 30, 2025Name of podcast: Backstage Pass RadioS8: E5: Lorraine Lewis - (Femme Fatale / Vixen) - Sunset Strip SurvivorSHOW SUMMARY:From jumping out of classroom windows in Albuquerque to commanding stages worldwide, Lorraine Lewis embodies the fearless spirit of rock 'n' roll in its purest form. In this candid, high-energy conversation, the former Femme Fatale and Vixen vocalist pulls back the curtain on her remarkable musical journey that began with Linda Ronstadt covers in local bands and led to the glitz and mayhem of the Sunset Strip during hair metal's heyday.  With disarming honesty, Lorraine recounts how she assembled Femme Fatale through sheer force of will, sharing both the exhilaration of being signed to MCA Records and the frustrations of never quite reaching the platinum-selling status she envisioned. Her reflections on why some bands exploded while others stalled reveal the complex interplay of talent, timing, and industry support that defined the era.  The conversation takes unexpected turns as Lorraine discusses her recent collaboration with Foreigner's Lou Graham (a dream thirty years in the making), her successful career as a television casting director, and her latest venture into OnlyFans, which she approaches with the same unapologetic authenticity that's defined her entire career. At 66, she dismisses conventional limitations, declaring, "The older I get, the more fearless I am."  What emerges is the portrait of an artist who has weathered industry upheavals without losing her passion or perspective. Lorraine's infectious laugh punctuates stories of rock star encounters and personal reinventions, offering wisdom on survival and self-reinvention in an industry notorious for chewing people up. "I've had the most fascinating life/career ever," she reflects, with the conviction of someone who's still writing exciting new chapters.  Subscribe to hear more unfiltered conversations with the personalities who've shaped rock history, and follow Lorraine's current projects at LorraineLewisRocks across all platforms.Sponsor Link:WWW.ECOTRIC.COMWWW.SIGNAD.COMWWW.RUNWAYAUDIO.COMBackstage Pass Radio Social Media Handles:Facebook - @backstagepassradiopodcast @randyhulseymusicInstagram - @Backstagepassradio @randyhulseymusicTwitter - @backstagepassPC @rhulseymusicWebsite - backstagepassradio.com and randyhulsey.comArtist(s) Web PageLorraine Lewis - FacebookCall to actionWe ask our listeners to like, share, and subscribe to the show and the artist's social media pages.

Everybody's feelin' groovy, because this week we're traveling way back to 1970 with bassist/vocalist Ron Flynt and guitarist/vocalist Steve Allen from legendary power poppers 20/20! Aside from remembering the staggering number of great records released during our year of focus, we celebrate the release of 20/20's new album Back to California, their first LP in over 25 years, out now on Spyderpop / Big Stir Records. Whether you're a newcomer to the band or an ardent fan of their classics like "Yellow Pills", "Cheri", "Remember The Lightning", and "Nuclear Boy", prepare to fall in love with the hooks n' harmonies of the new record, which hearkens back to their roots but maintains a fresh and modern sound. Plus, Steve and Ron talk about feeling the magic again, reminisce about the early days of the band, the recording of their signature track (1979's "Yellow Pills"), hanging out in Phil Spector's mansion, dancing with Linda Blair, rubbing shoulders with Hollywood stars at Sunset Strip haunts...and did O3L turn into the High Times podcast?!? Finally, we give the guys their belated induction into the Power Pop Hall of Fame...which we're in no way authorized to do, but they weren't aware they were already in it! Great stories, lots of laughs, and amazing music...turns out hindsight really is 20/20! Thanks to Rex Broome and Christina Bulbenko from Big Stir Records for the introduction.

In which The Curmudgeons travel back to sleazy, sweaty streets of Los Angeles to celebrate the music emanating from the City of Angeles. On one end, you had the burgeoning glam metal scene, a parade of excess and depravity in leather, chains and spandex--and some glorious, decadent riffage. On the other end, you had the DIY punk underground, led by hardcore punk stalwarts Black Flag and their SST label. You also had quirkier bands like The Minutemen and X lurking beneath the surface.

This week on America's Podcast, we're diving into six albums that split fanbases like a badly mixed record. Love them or loathe them, these albums had fans either throwing their fists in the air or throwing their CDs out the window. First up, Queensrÿche – Hear In the Now Frontier—where prog-metal legends decided to strip things down, leaving fans wondering if they'd just wandered into the wrong album. Then, Mötley Crüe – Theater of Pain—the moment the Crüe traded in their sleazy Sunset Strip grit for glam and a whole lot of hairspray. Next, we take a ride with Judas Priest – Turbo—the album that asked, “What if metal... but synths?” and left fans turbocharged or turbo-disappointed. Then, we dive into Def Leppard – Hysteria—a glossy, arena-rock juggernaut that made some fans ecstatic and others cry “where's the riffs?!”we dive headfirst into the unexpected turn that was Kiss's The Elder. Fans were like, “What just happened?” It was a sharp left turn—from arena anthems to concept album theatrics. Buckle up, because this ride gets weird. Finally, we close with Metallica – The Black Album—the moment Metallica went from thrash titans to global rock gods, sparking endless debates about “selling out” vs. evolution. Joining us for the ride are Joseph Staub and Tim Wirasnik, ready to break down these divisive records and maybe stir up a little more controversy. Tracks Of The Week: Mooger – “I Disappear” by Metallica Joseph – “Roses On White Lace” by Alice Cooper Jerry – “Tie Your Mother Down” by Queen Tim – “Until You Suffer Some (Fire And Ice)” by Poison Marc – “When I'm Gone (Live)” by Dirty Honey Until next week, don't let music divide you. Like what you like, dislike what you like—but we can all get along, right? #AlbumWars #QueensrycheQuandary #GlamOrSham #TurbochargedOrTurboflop #HysteriaOrHeresy #BlackAlbumDebates #LetsAllGetAlong

In the latest episode of None But The Brave, co-hosts Hal Schwartz and Flynn McLean are joined by Paul Rappaport, author of the new book Gliders Over Hollywood. The book details his long career as a Columbia Records promotions executive, during which time he worked with artists like The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen. Paul tells Hal and Flynn the wild story about how the broadcast of Springsteen's show at The Roxy on July 7, 1978 came together. The resulting recording would become one of the most famous bootlegs in rock & roll history and it was finally officially released in 2018.

Clint Lanier and Dave McArthur discuss the 1982 comedy album Live on the Sunset Strip while drinking Rum and Pepsi.

Over the past four episodes in this series, the Night Owl team has been immersed in a chilling investigation of the Sunset Strip Comedy Club, located on Austin's legendary 6th Street. From eerie disembodied voices and shadow figures to a haunting presence in the back stairwell, the team has uncovered a disturbing pattern of paranormal activity tied to the building's long and mysterious past. Early on, they uncovered the tragic story of John Waller Stephens Jr., whose alleged suicide by self-administered Lysol ingestion was thought to haunt the club, but the investigation has since revealed far more than they could have expected.In Parts 2 and 3, psychic mediums Jeffery and Kate the Brave helped validate staff experiences, while introducing new and unexpected spirits. Jeffery even identified a spirit named "Hank" who had no connection to the original story of John's death. And Kate brought to light that the negative energy in the building might not be tied to John at all—but to something darker lurking in the shadows. Then, in Part 4, a game-changing revelation completely shook their understanding of John's death.Nicole Riccardo, a trusted member of the paranormal community, revealed that she had investigated the speakeasy below the Sunset Strip, Eden, years earlier. Through extensive research, she uncovered startling contradictions in the narrative surrounding John Waller Stephens Jr.'s death. Newspaper articles described his death as the result of a car accident—no mention of Lysol or suicide. Even more puzzling was the strange police report showing that, after the accident, John was driven across town, past his house and two hospitals, directly to his workplace at Wilson Furniture Company—now the very building they had been investigating. This discovery raised more questions than ever about the true circumstances of his death.Now, armed with new evidence and insights, including the help of Nicole and the team of psychics, the Night Owl team returns to the Sunset Strip Comedy Club determined to uncover the truth. Will the investigation reveal what truly happened to John Waller Stephens Jr., and what dark forces are still at play in this historic building? Join them as they continue their journey to solve this mystery and confront whatever spirits may be haunting the Sunset Strip Comedy Club in Austin, Texas. Photo by Meg BlohmEPISODE SPONSORS:LUMENHead to http://lumen.me/nightowl for 20% off your purchase.BETTERHELPThe Night Owl is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Michael Rivers, son of rock n' roll icon Johnny “Secret Agent Man” Rivers. Retired and in great health at age 82, Johnny Rivers has lived many lives as one of the groundbreaking musicians in the LA music scene since the early sixties. From session man to Sunset Strip headliner to #1 recording artist to the Monterey Pop Festival, record label owner and publishing mogul and beyond, Johnny Rivers has met and worked with everybody. From Alan Freed to Elvis Presley, from Roger Miller to PF Sloan, from Rickey Nelson to John Phillips, Johnny Rivers knew everyone. Michael was kind enough to join us as a guest today to give us a first-hand look into his father as both a dad and a celebrity. From having a charge account at the flagship Sunset Strip Tower Records to falling asleep in a booth at the ultra-exclusive On The Rox club above the famed Roxy nightclub on the Strip, Michael went with his dad everywhere. From recording sessions on Hollywood Blvd. to dinners at the Strip's most iconic vegetarian restaurant The Source, Michael was taken everywhere with his divorced dad, even places kids couldn't usually go. Not many of us remember the smell of the AMPEX tape machine at United Western Recorders in Hollywood like it was yesterday, but Michael can. We discuss how Johnny Rivers biggest hit, the theme song to the aforementioned “Secret Agent Man” came about to what it was like touring with his dad as first a tour manager and then a drummer in the 80s on Summer break. We also hear about how Johnny was a prudent businessman who bought property in Beverly Hills and Big Sur in the 1960s which he still owns to this day. If Gazzari's on the Sunset Strip, The Whisky A Go-Go and an unmade sequel to Easy Rider are up your alley, hang on, this episode is just around the corner. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast and everyone has a story.  

Chaz & AJ talked with Stephen Pearcy of RATT about their rise to fame on the Sunset Strip in 1979, and how he became friends with Eddie Van Halen. After the interview Chaz & AJ shared audio of their first call, which failed to connect to the right Stephen. Photo courtesy: Mohegan Sun 

Seven arrests in twelve years and more than a couple sleepless nights inside a London prison. This reads like the description of a stereotypical Sunset Strip metalhead, not that of pop prince George Michael. George's criminal transgressions include a bust for a “lewd act” in a public place, a crack addiction, numerous car crashes. George Michael was on a collision course with an early death, but he died of a broken heart. Along the way he made great music. Here's his story. Which early MTV icon is your favorite? Why?

There's so much to cover in our interview, including how he started along the Sunset Strip, appearing with comics such as Billy Crystal and Leno, performing with Sammy Davis Jr., and so much more. We're so honored to have Tom join our show and share his many experiences about life and career. Please join us and invite your friends, too.

Guns' brand-new album Leopard Skin, Tracii takes us on a journey through his incredible career. We dive into the new record, its bluesy, sleazy rock ‘n' roll feel, and why Tracii sees it as a fresh chapter for the band. He also shares stories from the early days—playing alongside Slash, forming Guns N' Roses with Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin, and what really went down in those wild 80s rock days. We also talk about the evolution of L.A. Guns, why he still loves making music, and how he keeps things fresh after all these years. Plus, Tracii gives us the inside scoop on the making of Leopard Skin, the upcoming tour, and his all-time favourite L.A. Guns song.

In the first three parts of this investigation, the Night Owl team uncovered unsettling paranormal activity at the Sunset Strip Comedy Club, particularly around the back stairwell of the building. Staff have long attributed the ominous energy in this area to the mysterious suicide of John Waller Stephens Jr. Reports of shadowy figures and an overwhelming sense of dread have made this spot a hotspot for eerie encounters. But during their last investigation, working with psychic mediums Jeffery and Kate the Brave, they made an intriguing discovery: the shadowy presence both mediums saw appeared to be a completely separate energy from John's spirit, and it was likely the source of the darker activity reported. In this episode, the investigation will continue with Jeffery and Kate, reflecting on what has been uncovered so far, and Stephen will reveal a fascinating new breakthrough that sheds more light on the mystery of John Waller Stephens Jr. and his tragic death.Photo by Meg BlohmEPISODE SPONSORS:AG1New AG1 subscribers: Go to drinkAG1.com/nightowl for a FREE $76 gift when you sign up.

In this thought-provoking episode, Scott Smith tackles the age-old question of whether you're meant to be in the spotlight or play a different role. Through personal stories and insights from his own journey and his son's musical aspirations, Scott explores the internal conflict many face between wanting to be "the star" and finding their true calling. Drawing from his experience as an "introverted extrovert," Scott challenges listeners to examine their authentic desires versus societal expectations. He shares how he discovered that being a hybrid – someone who can lead from both the front and behind the scenes – ultimately led to greater fulfillment and success. Featured Story: Scott shares a compelling personal narrative about his son's journey to become a rock star, including a pivotal moment at the Whiskey a Go Go on Sunset Strip. This story serves as a launching point to discuss the importance of understanding whether you truly want to be in the spotlight or if your talents might be better suited to a different role. Key Takeaways: Being in the spotlight isn't necessary for success or fulfillment Your natural inclinations might differ from your perceived aspirations It's possible to be a hybrid – someone who can lead from both front and backstage Success often comes from aligning your role with your authentic desires Pushing yourself into an ill-fitting role can lead to unnecessary frustration Understanding your true motivations is crucial for career satisfaction Memorable Quotes: "I'm very comfortable being out in front with zero need to be in front."  "The absolute truth of being a real rock star is you spend your whole entire life on a tour bus."  "I'm happier when I'm kind of producing the show a little bit, but I've got behind the scenes." Scott's Three-Step Approach: Honestly assess whether you genuinely want to be in the spotlight or if you're pursuing it based on others' expectations Identify your true motivations and what actually drives your satisfaction Align your actions with your authentic desires, whether that means stepping into the spotlight or finding your perfect supporting role Connect With Scott: Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Brian, Blake, and Richard are joined by a very special guest this week for Episode 551 of the Chasing Tone Podcast -  Tracii Guns tells us about his favorite pedals, plugins, and pajamas!   Please be aware this episode contains infrequent swearing and drug references - not suitable for minors! This week the guys are pretty stoked to have one of Brian's all-time guitar heroes on the show. Tracii Guns is a legendary LA based guitarist, super talented player, and happens to be the founding member of a couple of huge bands you may have heard of. He also has a vast amount of stories and anecdotes to recount...and they are seriously funny. Brian drills straight into the culture of the Sunset Strip scene of the 1980s as the guys take a "behind the scenes" peek into the LA rock scene of that era. Tracii talks about some of the legendary bands he played alongside when LA Guns first made it, including Mötley Crüe, Skid Row, WASP, and a whole bunch more. Richard looks at the differences between the English and the US Music scene of that period and Tracii has some great insights and a mutual love of some classic British bands.Blake asks about the early days of Grunge and how that changed the direction of rock and Tracii gives us a candid and hilarious take on how that played out and what it meant for the musicians of the time. Tracii then tells us how Brian helped him through an existential rig crisis and you might be surprised by the fixes they came up with.http://www.lagunsmusic.com/ The Nigels, The Rock Sock, Kid Creole, Steve Vai, Rockman stories...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!We are on Patreon now too!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/chasingtonepodcast)Awesome Course, Merch and DIY mods:https://www.guitarpedalcourse.com/https://www.wamplerdiy.com/Find us at:https://www.wamplerpedals.com/https://www.instagram.com/WamplerPedals/https://www.facebook.com/groups/wamplerfanpage/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVrg4Wl3vjIxonABn6RfWwContact us at: podcast@wamplerpedals.comSupport the show

This week, we're joined by Leah Haslage, host of the Bridechilla podcast, to dive into the cultural and musical legacy of Buffalo Springfield's timeless classic, “For What It's Worth.” Though often linked with the Vietnam War, the song's origins trace back to the Sunset Strip curfew riots—a protest of a very different kind. With Neil Young and Stephen Stills at the helm, Buffalo Springfield laid the groundwork for an entire generation of folk rock. Together, we'll explore how this iconic protest anthem transcended its original context, the ways pop culture—like Forrest Gump—has revitalized its relevance, and how music's commercialization affects its impact. Let's hit rewind on the 60s and uncover what made this track thunder. One Hit Thunder is brought to you by DistroKid, the ultimate partner for taking your music to the next level.

1975, Led Zeppelin were at the height of their rock god power. They'd made 5 albums that sold off the charts, especially in the US where they enjoyed the fruits of their labors on the Sunset Strip. They were a top touring act that could fill arenas and stadiums with four of the best individual musicians in any band. They founded Swan Song Records to not only handle their own records but even signed acts like Bad Company and Detective to the label. So after some time off they headed back to Headley Grange where they'd recorded for Led Zeppelin III & IV in early 1974 to lay down some tracks. The results were among the heaviest, funkiest, longest, most epic and groovy songs in the Zeppelin catalog. But because they made more than 1 LP's worth of material, they decided to dust off a few tunes from previous sessions, rework them and fit them all into what would be Zeppelin's only double album, Physical Graffiti. The first album to ship platinum in the US, it would eventually go 16x platinum (but only 2x platinum in the UK). Hitting #1 on both sides of the Atlantic, it's too epic for just one episode. So we've divided into LP/CD one on this episode and UAWIL 219 will go in depth on LP/CD 2. The first disc of Physical Graffiti is an extraordinary album on its own. From the riff & groove of Custard Pie, maybe the best opening track on an LZ album, to the epic and otherworldly Kashmir the boys flex and stretch like they hadn't before. Jimmy Page is at his best laying down killer slide on In My Time Of Dying, riffing out on The Rover and leading the boys in jams on Trampled Under Foot. John Paul Jones is killer on the bass and the clavinet which give different textures to the tunes. John Bonham is at his thunderous best while his mate Robert Plant still had the range and emotion that made him a legend. Going track x track and watching some old Zeppelin footage from Earls Court 1975 and Knebworth 1979 reminds us that we missed one of the greatest bands to walk the Earth and they should be celebrated.

In this episode, the team returns to the Sunset Strip Comedy Club, located in the heart of Austin's vibrant 6th Street, to continue their investigation into the strange and unsettling occurrences plaguing this historic building. After hearing chilling stories from both staff and patrons, and diving into the investigation back in September, they're back now to uncover what might be haunting this space—and what truths are still lurking in the shadows.In Part I, staff and patrons shared eerie experiences — voices calling their names, dimmer switches flickering on their own, and strange energy around the back office and stairwell. One employee even described shadowy figures rushing at him when he opened the café alone one morning. These unsettling accounts left the team with more questions than answers.In Part II, the team, including psychic medium Jeffery, investigated the building. He validated some of the staff's experiences, like the disembodied voices and names being called. But he also introduced a new spirit named "Hank," even though no one had reported this energy before. To their surprise, Jeffery didn't pick up on the heavy, oppressive energy around the back stairwell, nor did any of the mystery of J. Waller Stephens Jr.'s rumored suicide by Lysol ingestion come to light.With these lingering questions still haunting them, the team is diving back in, determined to get to the bottom of what's truly hiding within the walls of Sunset Strip Comedy Club. But this time, they're bringing an additional psychic medium — Kate the Brave.EPISODE SPONSORSBETTERHELPThe Night Owl is sponsored by BetterHelp.

In this episode, the Night Owl team returns to the Sunset Strip Comedy Club, nestled in the heart of Austin's iconic 6th Street, to continue their investigation into the unsettling paranormal activity at this historic building. Last time, the team uncovered chilling reports from staff and locals—disembodied voices calling their names, shadowy figures rushing them, mysterious foul odors that appear and disappear for no reason throughout the back of the building,  and most commonly reported, an ominous presence felt in the back stairwell that may be tied to a mysterious death in the buildings past. But the mystery deepens today, as Stephen is joined by team members Alexis, Franklyn, and psychic medium Jeffery, who will dive in and explore the dark corners of this club with him. They'll attempt to find rational explanations for some of the strange reports, but as they dig in, Jeffery begins to make eerie connections to the reports and uncover new possible spirits lurking in the venue's shadows. Utilizing cutting-edge techniques like the Estes Method and Ganzfeld Experiments, the team will venture into uncharted territory. And just when they think they've hit a dead end, a surprising witness from Missouri steps forward with a shocking validation that could change everything.Is the Sunset Strip Comedy Club truly haunted? Join the team as they dive deeper into the mystery, unraveling the past and confronting whatever spirits might still haunt this historic building. Photo by Beau HarrisEPISODE SPONSORSAG1Go to drinkAG1.com/nightowl to to start your holiday season off on a healthier note.
