This week radio legend Charlie Kendall joins us to discuss the past, present, and future of Metal Shop!
From 1984-1995, broadcast superstar Kendall was a driving force of the metal revolution as he hosted this iconic program on over 250 stations. Metalshop was to rock radio what Headbanger’s Ball was to television. Now, he’s joined forces with KRFK Radio (a division of Keel’s RFK Media) to deliver new shows to a worldwide audience that celebrates and enjoys the music of the wild and the young.
In this discussion Charlie covers the history of Metal Shop; how he got the idea, how it was pitched, and how Judas Priest played a big role in the show getting green-lit. The show became an institution for rock and metal fans and the genre grew exponentially in popularity throughout the 1980's. As with the music, the rock radio world went through a tidal wave of changes in the 1990's and Metal Shop was not spared. Charlie shares his thoughts on how the show ended, the state of radio in today's society, and his take on music podcasting and it's marketability going forward.
Other topics covered include Charlie's early experience in radio at the age of 14, his work with NEWHD Media and it's charitable efforts for people with autism, and more. Stories involving Chuck Berry, Keith Richards, Dee Snider, Artie Kornfeld, and Alice Cooper are also included.
Throughout the episode you'll hear clips from the the heyday of Metal Shop to help take you back in time. For now though, you can check out the all new Metal Shop on KFRK Radio! The full Metal Shop broadcast schedule can also be found at charliekendall.com. You've got to check it out, it's everything you loved about the show brought into today! Also, grab a t-shirt to support the show.
We hope you enjoy Metal Shop Memories with Charlie Kendall and SHARE with a friend!

Geekwire Week of 02.22.24 - Ep564

We're back this week to discuss a band that experienced highs, lows, and tragedy throughout their career as we pick The Best & Worst of Warrant.
Warrant, formed in Hollywood in 1984, would go through changes in their early years that would lead to recruiting then-Plain Jane members Jani Lane and Steven Sweet into the band. A false start under Prince, a soundtrack appearance, and touring would result in the band getting signed to Columbia Records.
1989's 'Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich' would spawn several hit singles including 'Down Boys,' 'Big Talk,' and 'Heaven' with the latter hitting #2 on Billboard.
The doors would blow wide open with the release of 1990's 'Cherry Pie,' a song that was a blessing and a curse to the band. Controversy would also follow the band on their first two albums with British guitarist Mike Slamer being rumored to handle all guitar parts in the studio.
1992 would see musical tides shifting amid the release of 'Dog Eat Dog,' a tougher album produced by Michael Wagener.
Things would stranger and more experimental with the band's 1995 and 1996 releases, 'Ultraphobic' and 'Belly to Belly' respectively. The band would flame out and briefly reunite before shifting singers twice more. Lead singer Jani Lane would tragically pass away to alcohol poisoning in 2011.
We cover the Jani Lane lane era of Warrant this week and discuss those albums as well as the new tracks on Greatest & Latest (1999) and Under the Influence (2001) while picking what we deem to be the best and worst track off each. There's a lot to cover on and off the stage with this band and we think you'll enjoy our discussion. Let us know what your Best & Worst of Warrant is in the comments!

Geekwire Week of 12.12.23 - Ep556

This week we look back to a time when the music industry was, mostly, run through a handful of record labels. With big money to be made, record companies such as Capitol, Epic, Columbia, and Atlantic wielded a lot of power. Buyouts were happening such as in the case of Polygram acquiring Casablanca Records which would result in a very in-flux KISS winding up on Mercury Records. Smaller labels, while limited financially, were successful at times due to scouting new talent and breaking it. This circumstance would lead labels such as Elektra, Metal Blade, and Megaforce to be on the ground floor of some legendary careers and genres.
In this discussion, we discuss all of these record labels, many of the notable artists that inhabited their rosters, how they stacked up in the rock world, and much more. The era we're focusing on this time is 1980-1984. 
Was the rule and oversight of the early 80's music industry a good thing? Is today's wide open musical climate a better thing for artists? Let us know what YOU think in the comments!
We hope you enjoy Label Wars (1980-1984) and SHARE with a friend.

Label Wars (1980-1984) - Ep555

With this week marking the end of KISS as a touring entity, we thought we'd serve up a Torpedo Dudes 4 All! This is Decibel Geek's KISS-exclusive podcast and there's plenty to discuss!
 
KISS recently had to cancel shows in Ottawa, Toronto, and Knoxville due to Paul Stanley contracting the flu. The band got back on track for Indianapolis and is moving forward with the final dates. Between the Ottawa and Toronto cancellations a tragic car accident/explosion made news as a possible terror attack. How does this (potentially) relate to KISS? Listen to find out.
 
As the band prepares for this weekend's final shows at Madison Square Garden, we discuss our thoughts on the current lineup, how we got to our opinions, and the multiple KISS-themed doings in NYC this week. Activities discussed include the NYC KISS takeover and, of course, the shows themselves. 
 
It was confirmed recently that no ex-members, including Bruce Kulick, will be guesting at the shows. Will there be any surprises or shakeups for these landmark shows? We give our predictions.
Speaking of ex-members, Ace Frehley released the title track to his upcoming album '10,000 Volts' which is due next February. We give our reactions to the new single, our hopes for the album, and more. 
 
We hope you enjoy Torpedo Dudes 4 All and consider joining us on Patreon as a DBG VIP!

We're back with a new edition of Brushes With Greatness! This time, our friend bassist Rik Fox (Steeler/Freakshow) joins us to share some of his run-ins with the famous/infamous. If you didn't already know, Rik was a part of the 1970's New York rock scene as well as the 80's Sunset Strip heyday. Additionally, time spent working in the film industry made it even more likely to have run-ins with well-known people on a regular basis.
In this discussion, Rik Fox shares his brushes with greatness. From his days as a fan through his days in the industry, you'll get stories of interaction with David Lee Roth, Sam Kinison, Eric Carr, Ronnie James Dio, Pat Thrall, and many others.

Geekwire Week of 09.29.23 - Ep547

We're back to serve you up a special slab of great new rock and metal tunes from killer new artists with Fresh Blood!
In this edition, Chris is delivering great tracks from The Sunset Drip, Iron Void, Midnight Vice, The Lazys, and Samarkind. All five tracks are killer and run the gamut of the genres.
Aaron's bringing you excellent new tracks from Seven Ravens, Roadwolf, The Cold Stares, Wanted, and The Gems. It's a great collection of tunes to discover.
If you hear something you like, be sure to support the artists through purchasing albums, merch, following them on social media, and watching for them on tour near you. The future of rock depends on YOU!
We hope you enjoy Fresh Blood for September of 2023 and SHARE with a friend!
