Episode 34 of Season 5 kicked off on 25 August 2022 at 7 pm on Rebel Rock Radio. ACDC got us out the blocks with a track off Power Age called ‘Gone Shooting, We stayed in that style of rock and checked out The LA Maybe, a band out of the Carolinas, and an awesome track called 'Sucker Punch'. In recognition of the fact that the world is pretty fucked at the moment we took a listen to ex-Hanoi Rocks and glam icon Michael Monroe with a track called ‘Junk Planet'. Then we got heavy with Burn The Priest, the band that were Lamb of God before they became Lamb of God and a Melvins cover called 'Honey Bucket'. Then we followed on from last week with another track off Bring Me The Horizon's incredibly good album Sempiternal. One of the highlights of this show was an awesome track by SA band Fear of Falling, this was a new single they released called ‘All My Time'. SA music is world-class, always has been always will be. We took in some Metallica off Kill ‘Em All and then changed the tone with The Offspring and a track called 'Self Esteem'. Noodles on guitar got some love for his guitar sound. Ibanez and Pitbull Amps are apparently the secrets. 25 August is famous for being the birthday of two of the greatest rock stars the world has ever known, two guys who had a huge influence on me personally as a kid discovering this awesome music. I am talking about Gene Simmons and Rob Halford, to celebrate their birthdays, 73 and 71 respectively we took a listen to Gene with 'God of Thunder' off kiss Alive II and Rob with 'Victim of Changes' off Unleashed in the East. Those two albums got played to death when I was growing up and I used Kid Rocks' anthemic 'Still Something' off his latest album Bad Reputation to hammer home the point that in the 70s and 80s music rock music was special. From there it was Tom Petty followed by Bruce Springsteen with a lovely sentiment in his track “Further On (Up The Road) off The Rising. God remember that hey?, 9-11, seems like a lifetime ago and it took the Boss to put it all in perspective as only he can. The show went heavy again with a new band called The Halo Effect, made up of ex-members of In Flames and Mikael Stanne from Dark Tranquility, it's well worth a listen, the album is called Days of the Lost. There was no way we were going anywhere without taking another track off the stupendous new Arch Enemy album, Deceivers, the track we heard was ‘Spreading Black Wings', from there is was My Chemical Romance and Oasis time and a bit of Billy idol thrown in for good measure. The end of the show was a bit self-indulgent and took us back to some good jols in Cape Town, the scene was set with Kobus!, The Uninvited with 'The Poultry Christ' and Fokofpolisiekar with some Neil Young thrown in. Kobus! with 'Die Volk Van Main' is a very special song, Theo Crous and Francois Blom got it right here. The only huge disappointment with all this was that after Neil Young I explained how we used to use Tom Waits to clear the Whammy Bar in Cape Town and then I said cheers and goodnight and I assume that I didn't hit the mic button so we have a 60 min silence and no Cheerio until Tom Waits takes us out with 'Mr Siegal. Sorry about that. Artists featured: ACDC, The L.A. Maybe, U.D.O., Michael Monroe, Warrant, Adrenaline Mob, Burn the Priest, Bring Me the Horizon, Fear of Falling, W.A.S.P., Metallica, The Offspring, Great White, Baton Rouge, Kiss, Judas Priest, Kid Rock, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Bruce Springsteen, Jasper Dan, The Halo Effect, Texas Hippie Coalition, Arch Enemy, My Chemical Romance, Oasis, The Professionals, Billy Idol, Stiff Little Fingers, The Distillers, Kobus!, The Uninvited, Fokofpolisiekar, Neil Young, Tom Waits

Landlord Paul Reid has been trashing some of his own tenants for their vaccine pass policies. Whammy Bar on Karangahape Road still uses the passes for safety, even though they're no longer legally required. Now Reid, their landlord, is accused of acting badly on social media, giving the bar a one star rating and a negative review. In one post he refers to the venue's history as a punk rock anti-establishment dive bar, inferring nothing is as uncool as asking to scan a pass. But it's the landlord that's getting an ice cold response. Katie Todd has the story.
Bars around the country still requiring Covid-19 vaccine passes are finding themselves at the forefront of online activity by anti-mandate supporters. The requirement for hospitality and close-proximity businesses to use vaccine passes was scrapped last Tuesday. But days later, some venues started getting negative online reviews and comments on their social media. Auckland's Karangahape Road stalwart Whammy Bar co-owner Lucy Macrae and Wellington beer bar Hashigo Zake owner Dominic Kelly spoke to Corin Dann.

He's come halfway around the world from Australia to attend and display at the NAMM Show in Anaheim, California. It's the world's largest trade show specializing in everything that has to do with the music industry. Since he enrolled at the last minute they gave him the most remote booth in the furthest corner of the show out of the limelight. Without a clue what to expect he busied himself showing people his new invention--It's a digital whammy bar that has unlimited potential unlike anything of its kind. Jimi Hendrix would have absolutely loved this thing. By the fourth day Peter was totally exhausted and ready to pack up and fly home but later that morning lo and behold an announcement was broadcast that his idea captured the imagination of the entire show. He was awarded 'Best In Show' and his booth was soon inundated by dozens of businessmen literally throwing their cards at him. Peter Walker is no fluke and to get to talk and listen to him is nothing short of true inspiration.
Today we'll talk about guitar and bass bridges. What makes a good bridge? What makes a bad bridge? A huge topic - impossible to do much more than scratch the surface in this one broadcast, but let's do our best!I will attempt to address the main guitar bridge styles, including the classic T and S style, tune-o-matic, locking whammy, wraparound - and hopefully we have a moment to discuss about the Evertune bridge as well.A little disclaimer - this podcast is not about the guitars we make in my company. Instead, it's simply a dialogue to help you, who are interested in learning more about your own instrument. The brand of the guitar makes no difference whatsoever.These podcasts have been edited from my Weekly Wednesday Q&A YouTube live streams. You'll probably notice this from time to time when listening. If you feel you're missing a detail due to the lack of moving picture, you can always find the equivalent content on YouTube! Talk to you soon,Juha

Here is the 50th installment of the Dreams of Consciousness podcast, featuring an interview with Maxwell Gravelle of Setentia. I took a short trip to New Zealand in early April, scheduling my trip to coincide with Impetuous Ritual's gig at Whammy Bar in Auckland. As readers of the blog may have noticed, I'm somewhat obsessed with New Zealand's metal scene, and I was eager to interview a few bands while I was in town. Setentia is a band that I've followed with keen interest since I heard their 2 song promo a few years back. I've been looking forward to interviewing them, and this trip presented a unique opportunity to do so. I sat down with Maxwell shortly after Impetuous Ritual finished their set. We discussed Setentia's history, as well as the backstory behind the writing and release of their debut Darkness Transcend. I also asked Maxwell to fill me in on the New Zealand metal scenes. It was an elucidating chat all around. My thanks again to Maxwell for taking the time to meet and talk to me, and to you for listening.

He tells us how Thrasher came to be and how he and his best friend Larry Luling have been jamming together for years. Thrasher’s first gig was at the Whammy Bar (now Lucky Chance) and how Project Mayhem was a blast to play. He shares the process of discovery when it comes to new venues to play. How they come up with their song selections and staying versatile in order to be able to play the harder songs. Then we chat about opening bands and split bills.

This is another one of those shows that has been in the works for what seems like an eternity. I've been friends Scooter Hanes for a few years now, but it has taken all that time for the stars to align such that the timing is right to have him on the show. Fortunately, with his demo completed and work begun a full-length CD, this has become the opportune time to give him a little promotion. Scooter has made a name for himself on the east coast with various musical projects and a CD with his former musical partner Paul "Pabo" Dake released through Zigmo Records -- good luck finding a copy. Here in Indiana he has been very successful playing such venues as the Whammy Bar, the Rathskellar, and recurring gigs at a couple of notable chain restaurants here in town. Contrary to rumor, he is not the guy in the freecreditreport.com commercials. Recently, however, he has put his efforts into his own music as the primary singer/songwriter/guitarist in the Scooter Hanes Band, and inexplicably, is actively looking to trade steady, high-paying, corporate gigs for the smaller audiences of the less-stable, less-appreciated, all-original music scene. For that, we salute and support him. Links referenced in the show: Scooter Hanes can be found here: | . He has graciously shared tracks from his recently-completed demo with us today. His first solo CD is in the works, and we will have a link here when it becomes available. Random non-sequitor trivia: New Castle, Indiana does indeed host the . In case you hadn't heard: Yes, . Scooter plays, and wholeheartedly endorses . Scooter is currently a staple performer at Jimmy Buffet's and occasionally . The fourth track played, Under the Mistletoe, features Lani Williams, who currently performs as a duo with Joe Hart. You can check out their stuff here: .
Another milestone has been hit here on the Xcast and our future is looking good. This episode we were Corran-less, Tony-less but Justin managed to show up.

This episode we brought you all the latest news going on around the industry including the new backwards compatibility list, GTA IV rumors, the Guitar Hero 2 Whammy Bar fix and much more. For this weeks opinion segment we talked about if Microsoft is confusing people with the 3 SKU's and we revisited the Guitar Hero 2 Song Pack issue.
