(To be read in a dramatic voice) No one would have believed... ... that a tale so vast- of death, alien destruction, heat rays, Phil Lynott, and the Moody Blues- could be told through orchestral prog rock, synths, and frying pans. Yet today, Frizz and Bob pop open Quest's End Paladin Whiskey & Ardbeg Uigedal Scotch to bring you PART ONE of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds- a British sci-fi marvel that, for decades, has been misunderstood and mostly unseen by the American eye. In this first chapter, we set the stage: The backstory. The architects of the sound. The players of this curious sonic war. The chances of you missing this are a million to one, they said. Yet, here you are. Next week... the invasion begins.

Jailbreak es el sexto álbum de estudio de la banda irlandesa de hard rock Thin Lizzy, publicado el 26 de marzo de 1976. Es el álbum más vendido de la banda en todo el mundo y está considerado como su mejor trabajo. Jailbreak incluye el mayor éxito del grupo, "The Boys Are Back in Town", y el sencillo homónimo, dos de los mayores éxitos en la discografía de la banda.Originalmente, Thin Lizzy quería publicar como primer sencillo "Running Back", mucho más comercial y orientada hacia el pop,[2]​ lo que da cuenta de la producción más accesible que presenta este disco con respecto a sus anteriores.

Interview by Kris PetersThe world lost a true legend earlier this year, when vocalist/guitarist John Sykes - Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, Tygers Of Pan Tang - lost his battle with cancer. While his legacy endures thanks to the music he created, the world has still lost a musical innovator and pioneer with a gift for writing timeless music.Around eight years ago, Sykes entered into a contract with then-fledgling music label Golden Robot Records, agreeing to terms for a new album to be released through the company. But over the ensuing few years and as life and circumstances got in the way, all that was honoured by Sykes in that contract was four songs, written by him with a view to completing a full album down the track, that have until now remained locked away from the world in their original demo state.Since Sykes' passing, the label has gone to the vault and dusted off the cobwebs and had them professionally remixed and remastered by Aussie legendary producer Paul Gommersall (Paul Weller, George Michael, GNR).Paying respect to the music and legacy of John Sykes, Golden Robot decided to allow the music world at least six months to grieve the loss of Sykes before announcing their intentions to release the four songs - the first new music from Sykes in a quarter of a century - as a four-track EP.It was a decision taken with much respect to the situation, the man, and his music, but ultimately one which Golden Robot Records believes serves the best interests of fans and enables them to release material which was to form the nucleus of a full body of work.Golden Robot Global Entertainment's Mark Alexander-Erber sat down with HEAVY to talk us through the release and the history behind four tracks, which could well be the final recording the world hears from a man who has shaped so much of its history."John was introduced to me during the formative days of Golden Robot Records' journey in Los Angeles," Mark explained. "The label officially launched around 2015, and by 2017 we had entered into an agreement with John for a full-length studio album. The original contract was straightforward — John was to deliver a minimum of ten tracks for a complete album.""As per the terms of the agreement, we made an initial payment to John, and everything was progressing well. John preferred to work at his own creative pace, which we respected. The understanding was that upon delivery of additional material, a second tranche of payment would be made. However, as time went on, it became clear that what we had originally paid for and what was ultimately being delivered were two very different things.""That said, we approached the situation the way we always have at Golden Robot — through open communication and a commitment to the relationship. Like many bands we worked with in those early years, it was never just about rigid contractual enforcement; it was about navigating challenges together in good faith.""In the end, what we received were four absolutely outstanding demos — powerful, compelling tracks that truly reflect John's immense talent and artistic voice. While it wasn't the full album we initially set out to produce, those recordings have tremendous value, and we're proud to be the ones bringing them to the world."In the full interview, Mark provided detailed insights into his professional relationship with John Sykes, which commenced in 2017. He acknowledged that while not all contractual obligations were fulfilled to the letter, all parties involved reached mutual compromises in good faith. Mark expressed sincere appreciation for their personal and professional relationship, noting the importance of approaching sensitive matters with discretion and respect.The discussion also included specifics regarding the forthcoming 4-track EP, which will feature two previously unreleased songs along with remastered versions of two existing tracks. Mark confirmed that the estate of the late artist will receive the royalties as stipulated under the terms of the agreement.He conveyed confidence in the artistic and technical quality of the recordings, stating that the work pays a respectful and authentic tribute to John's legacy. The release strategy includes the rollout of two singles ahead of the EP, with the first single scheduled for release in late June through Golden Robot Records on a global basis.We discussed Mark's personal relationship with John and the decision to delay releasing the songs after John's death, and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Cue up the Thin Lizzy for this Friday episode as "The Boys" return to the SGS feed. With Andy still overseas, Brendan is joined by Joseph LaMagna and PJ Clark for an insane Friday episode full of conspiracies, horse takes, gorilla hypotheticals, and Golf Advice. After a bit of Kentucky Derby chatter, initial takeaways from the CJ Cup Byron Nelson are shared and Joseph proposes a new "Cam Champ Rule" for PGA Tour venues. The three then preview this week's LIV Korea event and discuss the current state of Jon Rahm, David Puig, and Richard Bland, among others. In news, departments within the PGA Tour are shifting a bit and tournament weeks are now "event weeks" for these local communities. Before Golf Advice, "The Boys" get Brendan's thoughts on the latest 100 men vs. one gorilla hypothetical and wonder which pro golfers would be the biggest assets in this kind of fight. Golf Advice has a Champs Tour legend involved and more hole-in-one discourse. To wrap things up, Brendan chats with Joel Beall about his new book, Playing Dirty, which you can buy here.

Ingen midtvejskrise at spore i heavy metal-året 1975, hvor vi i år fejrer 50 års jubilæum for hovedværker fra både Alice Cooper, Led Zeppelin og Black Sabbath. Vi kommer selvfølgelig omkring disse i dette podcastafsnit, men også andre virile 50-års jubilanter som Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, Queen, Aerosmith, The Sweet og Thin Lizzy. Og så er der den spøjse danske heavy-vinkel anno 1975: Røde Mor. Ja, sgu'! Som altid er studievært Jens "Jam" Rasmussen i engageret selskab med de tungt rockende eksperter Steffen Jungersen og Michael Stützer Hansen. Nedslagspunkter: - Alice Cooper går solo, optræder i København og sætter kursen for King Diamonds senere sceneoptræden. - I 1975 hedder King Diamond endnu blot Kim Bendix Petersen. Her gør han sig som rytmeguitarist i bandet Brainstorm, som bl.a. spiller Deep Purple covernumre. - Den ikoniske ex-Purple guitarist Richie Blackmore debuterer med sit nye band Rainbow, der har den magiske metalrock-sanger Ronnie James Dio i front. - Deep Purple rekrutterer ny guitarist i den unge amerikaner Tommy Bolin, der har godt greb om spaden, men kun en kort epoke i bandet. - Lemmy skriver og indspiller sit sidste nummer inden han forlader Hawkwind. Nummeret hedder... "Motorhead". - Det rocker på forskellig vis i Amerika: fra ZZ Top over KISS til Blue Öyster Cult. - Michael fortæller om raketguitaristen Ace Frehley, Steffen om en særlig guitarstemning i Blue Öyster Cult-balladen "Then Came The Last Days of May". - Queen indspiller "A Night at the Opera" og hæver baren op i himmelstørrelse med uforlignelige "Bohemian Rhapsody". - Rush og Thin Lizzy er fortsat produktive og på vej fremad. - Det danske venstrefløjs kunstnerkollektiv Røde Mor laver rødglødende heavy rock, og en satire over betonforstadens ulykkelige skæbner. - En epokegørende aften i netop betonforstaden: studieværten befinder sig vis á vis selveste glamidolerne The Sweet lige inden de forvandler sig til sorte metalrockere. - The Scorpions giver den som tysksproget Sweet-coverband, og laver deres eget tredje album... på engelsk. - Power balladen slår igennem hos Aerosmith, Nazareth, Alice Cooper og på hitlisterne, men ikke hos AC/DC. - Vi afrunder med to hovedværker: Led Zeppelins ambitiøse dobbelt album "Physical Graffitti" og Black Sabbaths eminente udkomme af ryggen-mod-muren "Sabotage". Tag med os tilbage til 1975 og kom i guldrandet jubilæumsstemning med vort metalrockende studiehold og hard rock- og heavy-klassikere ad libitum. God lytning!

Så er vi nået til det herlige heavy år 1974, hvor de "gamle" forløbere Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin og Alice Cooper ikke udgav nye albums, men forberedte hver deres monsterværk til året efter. Til gengæld var der debutudgivelser fra de unge knøse i Judas Priest, AC/DC og KISS, og de første par albums fra den nye udgave af Deep Purple. 1974 var også året, hvor Bachman-Turner Overdrive begejstrede med fængende hard rock-hits á la '74, Slade hev rockfans i biografen, læderklædte Suzy Quatro var kvinden på scenen, og The Sweet affyrede en tidlig heavy metal-raket med kurs mod sen-70'erne og 80'erne. Vi er atter i selskab med studievært Jens "Jam" Rasmussen og vores sublime gæsteduo, Steffen Jungersen og Michael Stützer Hansen. Nedslag: - Flammen tilbage i det nye Deep Purple line-up med "Burn" albummet og den unge frontmand David Coverdale. - Men... flammen brænder hurtigt ud for Ritchie Blackmore, der kvitter Deep Purple efter "Stormbringer" pladen. - Efter fem års tilløb albumdebuterer Judas Priest med et forvarsel om de nye metaltider. - AC/DC singledebuterer og fjoller lidt rundt i dresseringen. Skoleunifomen sidder dog godt fast på Angus Young. - KISS debuterer med deres ikoniske maskering og festklædte syng-med-rock-og-rul. - Amerikansk rock'n'roll og heavy fra Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd og Blue Öyster Cult, og sprød europæisk hard rock-lyd fra Free, Queen, The Scorpions og Thin Lizzy. - Canada byder sig til med Rush og Bachman-Turner Overdrive, der skaber eufori hos gæstepanelet 51 år efter. - I Danmark spiller den 15-årige guitarist Michael Denner progressiv rock og heavy med syre-elementer i Iron Space, mens Mo I Rana laver solid Led Zep-inspireret rock. - Slade går til filmen med "Slade in Flame", som Vesterbro-knægten Michael Trampenau ser tre gange på sin konfirmationsdag. - Amerikanske Suzy Quatro hitter med sin tætsiddende læderdragt og numre som "Devil Gate Drive". - Vi går i dybden og afrunder med The Sweets pioner heavy metal-nummer "Set Me Free". Hav en fin tur tilbage til 1974, og på snarligt genhør i det næste afsnit fra 1975, som udsendes om ca. 14 dage! Idé, tilrettelæggelse og research: Jens "Jam" Rasmussen Produktion: Jan Eriksen

Bego Arretxe es Marta, o quizás no, Manu podrías haber sido tú o alguno de tus amigos, es una posibilidad que te pasa por la cabeza cuando lees la novela escrita por Bego Arretxe, una historia que parte del encargo de escribir una biografía de Phil Lynott , cantante e Thin Lizzy. La vida de Phil lleva a la autora y a su protagonista a recordar los tiempos vividos intensamente en aquella Barcelona preolímpica de finales de los 80' principios de los 90' donde los colectivos por la insumisión militar, las primeras ocupaciones, el sonido del punk, el azote de la heroína y los skins formaban parte del día a día de un grupo de jóvenes ávidos por vivir en un momento en que todo podía ser posible. Adictiva y necesaria historia reflejada desde la experiencia de una mujer, (importantísimo por infrecuente el detalle), que no utiliza la nostalgia para atraparnos con esa otra Barcelona que, otra vez, como tantas y tantas nos fue negada.Escuchar audio

Sixteen in '75: The Records That Shaped My Life Ep 2 : Thin LizzyThin Lizzy : Fighting : 1975This a new brand-new video series called “Sixteen in '75.” This year, a lot of Channels are celebrating albums turning 50, and that includes an incredible batch from 1975. But for me, there's a personal twist—1975 was the year I turned 16 and left school to start my first job. It was a tough time of transitions, factory dust, and figuring out who I was. This series is all about the albums that got me through it.Phil Aston | Now Spinning Magazine

“If this is their 9th studio album, where does it rank?”  DEATH MAGNETIC, the Rick Rubin produced 9th studio album from Bay Area metal titans METALLICA (and the first studio album featuring Robert Trujillo on bass) is chock full of riffs, tons of ugly chords, a boatload of guitar solos, and loads of twin guitar harmonies that harken back to the thrash metal veterans legendary 80's output, with a sound that is a true return to their original thrash form which could have easily placed this album being released right after …AJFA.  They brought back all of the classic elements (including their iconic logo!) that made METALLICA awesome to begin with and more than made up for their “Angry Loads” era.  Remember to always send back the “medium rare chicken tenders” and if you're using a ride share, make sure to be hammered on at least one part of the journey. JOIN US for a brief review of a recent local metal show featuring Atlanta's own Embering Effigy at Sweetwater Live in Duluth (as well as a summary of the “aftermath” that followed), remember that “the Loads of Anger” are always at the bottom, and behold the victors of “The Loudness Wars” with METALLICA's 2008 return to their thrash metal roots, DEATH MAGNETIC.   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 the iTunes/Apple Podcasts - Spotify or your favorite Podcast app Listen on iTunes, Spotify, Podbean, or wherever you get your Podcasts.

Send us a textOn this week's episode, we take a listen to another Listener's Pick: Thin Lizzy's sixth studio album, Jailbreak from 1976. It took some time, but by the time they recorded Jailbreak, Thin Lizzy's had figured out their formula and Jailbreak became their breakout LP. Showcasing the tuneful songs of Phil Lynott and the expert twin guitar interplay of Scott Gorman and Brian Robertson, the album is the ultimate combination or power and melody.Lyrically,  Lynott tapped into mythos of both Irish folklore and the American west to create his own version of story songs written by the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Van Morrison. Musically, Jailbreak is an absolute blast to listen to, providing future inspiration for both punk bands and bands of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.  Visit us at www.tappingvinyl.com.

Mit "Still Got The Blues" hat Gary Moore einen echten Stilwechsel hingelegt – weg vom Hard Rock, hin zum Blues Rock. "Still Got The Blues" erschien 1990 als Gary Moores achtes Solo-Studioalbum und war ursprünglich nur als Nebenprojekt gedacht. Doch mit dem dazugehörigen Titelsong überzeugte Moore seine Plattenfirma Virgin Records, die daraufhin sogar Blues-Legende Albert King einfliegen ließ, um bei dem Song "Pretty Woman" mitzuspielen. Ich glaube, was die Plattenfirma überzeugt hat, war, dass Garry Moore so 100% hinter diesem Projekt stand, das war so ein richtiges Herzensprojekt. Das Album ist ein Meilenstein, weil es für viele Menschen der Einstieg in eine neue Musikrichtung war, mit der sie vorher wenig zu tun hatten. Gary Moore lebt die Musik und vermittelt über seine Gitarre mehr Emotionen als über seine Stimme, wie SWR1 Musikredakteur Nils Berkfeld findet. Von Hard Rock zum Blues – Gary Moores Neuanfang mit "Still Got The Blues (For You)" Mit "Still Got The Blues (For You)" schlug Gary Moore eine neue musikalische Richtung ein – weg vom Hard Rock, hin zum Blues. Der ganze "Rockstar-Zirkus" mit riesigen Bühnenaufbauten und Pyrotechnik langweilte ihn, er wollte zurück zur Essenz der Musik. Zur gleichen Zeit rollte eine neue Blues-Welle aus den USA heran, angeführt von Künstlern wie Jeff Healey, Robert Cray und Bonnie Raitt. Inspiriert von seinen Jugendhelden Eric Clapton, Peter Green und den Bluesbreakers, begann Moore, hinter den Kulissen alte Blues-Stücke zu spielen, und entdeckte seine Liebe zur Musik neu. Besonders Albert King war ein großes Idol für ihn – ein Einfluss, der auf "Still Got The Blues" deutlich zu hören ist. Entstehung des Albums "Still Got The Blues" Gary Moore war ein großer Fan von Eric Clapton und dessen einzigartigem Sound. Deshalb entschied er sich, eine eigene Version eines Clapton-Stücks für "Still Got The Blues (For You)" aufzunehmen. Das sollte nur der Anfang eines größeren Projekts werden. Anfangs zögerte Moore, doch während der ersten Sessions erkannte er, dass er auch eigene Blues-Songs schreiben konnte. Er stellte eine neue Band zusammen, bestehend aus Andy Pyle (Bass), Graham Walker (Schlagzeug) und Mick Weaver (Keyboards). Die Aufnahmen fanden in den Sarm West Studios in London statt, wobei die meisten Songs live und in nur ein bis zwei Takes eingespielt wurden, was für Blues-Aufnahmen dieser Zeit typisch war. Moore stand hinter einer Plexiglasscheibe, während die Band im Aufnahmeraum spielte – eine Methode, die auch von Künstlern wie den Rolling Stones verwendet wurde. "Still Got The Blues" wurde schließlich auch eine Hommage an seine Idole. Das Album enthält sowohl Coverversionen als auch Eigenkompositionen – darunter "King Of The Blues", ein Tribut an B.B. King. Zudem wirkte George Harrison an "That Kind Of Woman" mit. Die CD-Version des Albums widmete er seinem großen Vorbild Peter Green, obwohl nur ein Song von ihm enthalten ist.

Legendary #Raven bassist and singer #JohnGallagher is here with the boys talking about their 50th anniversary EP “Can't Take Away The Fire”!Founded in 1974, the trailblazing Newcastle UK heavy metal icons have been celebrating their 50th anniversary, and surprised fans with this latest EP. “Can't Take Away The Fire” is a super limited-edition release.#JohnGallagher talked with Dave and Shane about their joy in reaching this historic milestone, his early influence, and seeing revered guitarist #JohnSykes at his first show with the #TygersOfPanTang. The rock world continues to mourn Sykes - also of #ThinLizzy, #Whitesnake and #BlueMurder - who passed away from cancer on January 20th.

I sit down with producer and audio specialist Richard Whittaker to discuss the brand-new Thin Lizzy Acoustic Sessions album. Richard shares how he unearthed forgotten elements in the master tapes, recorded new guitar parts with Eric Bell, and balanced vintage authenticity with modern production. We also dive into his work on the 1976 Thin Lizzy Box Set, Robin Trower's Bridge of Sighs, and The Who's Quadrophenia.There are also hints that there might be new Thin Lizzy Box Sets for the first two album and Nightlife and Fighting.

It is with heavy hearts that we deliver this week's episode honoring the passing of a guitar hero giant who also happened to be an awesome singer and songwriter: John Sykes. He was a guitarist deserving of the title guitar god who rarely got mentioned in the same circles as the Satches, Vais, Rhodes, and Van Halens. Most known for his brief stint in Thin Lizzy at the end of their career and as a brief member of Whitesnake. He should have been a household for playing on the Whitesnake 87 album that sold 25M records worldwide, but he was fired before it came out. Kevin's a huge fan of Blue Murder, so we will focus on that band and some of the lesser-known projects he was involved in while also paying homage to his mainstream successes. New to InObscuria? Typically, what we do is exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. Rest In Peace John. Your pure musicality and amazing songs will live forever in our hearts!Songs this week include:Blue Murder – “We All Fall Down” from Nothin' But Trouble (1993)Streetfighter – “She's No Angel” from Lightnin' To The Nations: NWOBHM 25th Anniversary Collection (2005)Tygers Of Pan Tang – “Blackjack” from Spellbound (1981)John Sykes – “Pride And Joy” from Crossfire: A Salute To Stevie Ray (1996)Derek Sherinian – “God Of War” from Mythology (2004)Thin Lizzy – “Cowboy Song” from One Night Only (2000)John Sykes – “Cautionary Warning” from 20th Century (1997)Blue Murder – “Still Of The Night” from Screaming Blue Murder: Dedicated To Phil Lynott (1994)Blue Murder – “Jelly Roll” from Screaming Blue Murder: Dedicated To Phil Lynott (1994)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://twitter.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/InObscuria?asc=uIf you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/

Rockshow episode 210 The Story of Phil Lynott and Thin LizzyPhilip Parris Lynott, born on August 20, 1949, in West Bromwich, England, and raised in Dublin, Ireland, was the charismatic frontman, bassist, and primary songwriter of Thin Lizzy—one of the most influential rock bands of the 1970s and early 80s. Known for his poetic lyrics, distinctive voice, and commanding stage presence, Lynott played a crucial role in shaping the band's signature sound, blending hard rock with Celtic influences and storytelling.The Formation of Thin Lizzy (1969-1972)Lynott formed Thin Lizzy in Dublin in 1969, along with drummer Brian Downey, guitarist Eric Bell, and organist Eric Wrixon (who left shortly after). The band was named after a character from a comic book (The Dandy's “Tin Lizzie”). They signed with Decca Records and released their self-titled debut album in 1971, but mainstream success eluded them at first.Their breakthrough came in 1972 with their reworking of the traditional Irish folk song “Whiskey in the Jar,” which became a major hit in Ireland and the UK. However, after their next few albums underperformed, Eric Bell left the band, leading to a major lineup change that would define their classic sound.The Classic Thin Lizzy Lineup (1974-1980)After Bell's departure, Thin Lizzy transitioned into a twin-guitar rock powerhouse. Lynott recruited Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson, forming the band's legendary dual-guitar attack. Their first major success in this era came with “The Boys Are Back in Town” (1976) from the Jailbreak album, which remains their most famous song.Notable Albums & Songs:•Jailbreak (1976) – “The Boys Are Back in Town,” “Jailbreak” •Johnny the Fox (1976) – “Don't Believe a Word” •Bad Reputation (1977) – “Dancing in the Moonlight,” “Bad Reputation”•Live and Dangerous (1978) – Regarded as one of the greatest live rock albums of all time•Black Rose: A Rock Legend (1979) – “Do Anything You Want To,” “Waiting for an Alibi,” “Black Rose”Thin Lizzy became known for their explosive live performances, poetic lyrics, and blending of hard rock with Irish storytelling. However, internal tensions, particularly with Brian Robertson's unreliability, led to lineup changes.The Later Years & Decline (1980-1983)Thin Lizzy disbanded in 1983 after a farewell tour, marking the end of an era.Phil Lynott's Solo Career & Tragic DeathAfter Thin Lizzy, Lynott pursued a solo career, releasing two albums:•Solo in Soho (1980) – “King's Call,” “Dear Miss Lonelyhearts”•The Philip Lynott Album (1982) He also collaborated with musicians like Gary Moore (“Out in the Fields”) and worked on various projects. However, his drug addiction worsened, and in late 1985, he collapsed due to complications from heroin and alcohol abuse.Phil Lynott passed away on January 4, 1986, at the age of 36.Thin Lizzy's LegacyDespite Lynott's passing, Thin Lizzy's influence remains strong. Various members have carried on the band's music, with Scott Gorham leading tribute tours. Lynott's lyrical storytelling, stage presence, and fusion of Celtic themes with hard rock inspired countless musicians, including Metallica, Iron Maiden, and U2.Today, Lynott is celebrated as Ireland's first great rock star, with statues, documentaries, and tributes keeping his legacy alive.Essential Listening for New Fans: Phil Lynott remains one of rock's most beloved and tragic figures—a poet, a rocker, and a legend whose music still resonates today.http://www.thinlizzy.org/phil.htmlhttps://youtube.com/@thinlizzyofficial?si=HtxqVIFF3_AuRiWrhttps://www.thinlizzyofficial.com/https://www.facebook.com/share/15serR1qV2/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://x.com/thinlizzy_?s=21&t=Mzw5de5zsR-SDDbhyzH0Lghttps://www.instagram.com/thinlizzy?igsh=bjE3aXRvdnhnMDVh#ThinLizzy #PhilLynott #RockLegends #ClassicRock #IrishRock #TheBoysAreBackInTown #Jailbreak #LiveAndDangerous #70sRock #HardRock #WhiskeyInTheJar #BlackRose #DancingInTheMoonlight #RockNRoll #LegendaryBands

Soundgarden emerged as a pioneering force in the Seattle grunge scene, bringing elements of heavy metal and alternative rock into what would come to be known as the Seattle sound.  The group originally found lead singer and primary songwriter Chris Cornell singing from behind a drum set where he was the group's percussionist, but it became clear that this would not work well in live concerts, so Cornell switched to vocals and rhythm guitar while turning over percussion work to Matt Cameron.  Badmotorfinger, the third studio album, finds the group just before it's breakout into grunge superstardom, an event that would occur with the release of their next album.  Taking its name from a spoof on a popular Montrose song, Badmotorfinger sports a strong heavy metal sound, but with tighter songwriting, and a bit of complexity in time signatures and tunings.  It would become the band's highest charting album to date, peaking at number 39 on the Billboard 200 chart, and going double platinum by 1996.  It was also considered a success by critics, and was nominated in 1992 for a Grammy award for Best Metal Performance.While the album definitely has grunge elements in it, as a whole it may be considered more alternative, heavy metal, or hard rock. The band's development makes this album more difficult to pin down into a single genre, and perhaps this makes for a more interesting listening experience.We hope you enjoy this foray into the roots of the grunge movement as Lynch brings us the album for today's podcast. Rusty CageThe opening track to the album was the third single released, and reflects a longing for freedom and a breaking out of the “rusty cage” that life can be.  The guitars are tuned down significantly, giving the riffs a jangling sound.  Johnny Cash would cover it a few years later, turning the song into a country anthem.  OutshinedThis track combines themes of self-doubt and internal struggle with appearances of external success and confidence, creating a clash within the singer.  Cornell creates depth and passion through his vocals.  “Show me the power, child.  I'd like to say that I'm down on my knees today.”Jesus Christ PoseUnlike many tracks, this first single released from the album is credited to all four band members.  The lyrics are a rant against the hypocrisy of religious leaders who turn belief into a means of acquiring power.  This track is an example of a Soundgarden song that is more metal than grunge at this point.Slaves & BulldozersThis song is often described as “doom metal,” and utilizes drop-tuned guitars to create a slow burn, darker sound.  The lyrics encourage the listener to consider how their situation may be turning them into either an obedient slave or a nihilistic bulldozer.  It was the last song Soundgarden played live before Chris Cornell's death in 2017. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme from the television series “The Cosby Show”This staple of 80's sitcom had their final episode and went off the air in April 1992.   STAFF PICKS:I Want to Touch You by Catherine WheelWayne kicks off the staff picks with the Manchester sound.  This post-psychedelic song deals with the raw emotions of a shy guy who is infatuated with a particular woman.  “It would really make my day if you'd only move away, 'cause I'm scared that if you stay, I'll want to touch you.” Just Take My Heart by Mr. BigRob brings us a power ballad that peaked at number 16.  It was the fourth single from the second album by Mr. Big entitled “Lean Into It.”  The song features some excellent finger picking on an electric guitar toned down to an almost acoustic consistency.  Eric Martin is the lead singer and co-writer of the song.Cold Day in Hell by Gary MooreBruce features a guitar virtuoso from Northern Ireland.  Gary Moore got his start in an Irish band called Skid Row in the late 1960's but is better known as a member of Thin Lizzy.  This lead-off track to his ninth solo studio album called “After Hours” is a straightforward announcement that the man and his lover would never be getting back together. Silent Lucidity by QueensrycheLynch closes out the staff picks with beautiful and epic piece off the Empire album.  Chris DeGarmo, guitarist and primary songwriter for the group, was inspired to write this song after reading a book about lucid dreams.  The first iteration of the song was acoustic guitar and vocals only, and instrumentation was added later. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:The Simpsons by Danny GattonA rock/blues guitar cover of the main theme of “The Simpsons” takes us out for today's session.   Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

John Sykes Tribute John Sykes' passing hits hard, partly because he was the same age as me. You don't expect to be making tribute videos for someone from your own generation—a peer who, for many of us, epitomised the 1980s rock dream. But more than that, John Sykes was a driven perfectionist with a distinct vision for his music. He left an indelible mark on the bands he joined, whether it was Tygers of Pan Tang, Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, or Blue Murder. To his family—especially his sons—know that John Sykes was truly one of the greats. His riffs, solos, and larger-than-life stage presence continue to inspire guitarists all over the world.
