Introducing, Steve Hutton former manager of Kid Rock, Meat Loaf, Better Than Ezra, All That Remains, Seu Jorge, The Heavy, Bebel Gilberto, Freddie McClendon, and many more!

We dive deep and go Behind The Curtain with Steve on his career. How did he go from lawyer to music manager? What artists sparked his love of music? How did he collaborate with and influence Kid Rock's early career from independent album releases to the Mega-Hit 14+ Million unit selling Devil Without A Cause? How does he reflect upon the ground-breaking mash-up of genres (Rock/Hip-Hop/Country) on that album and it's influence on today's music?

What are the key ingredients Steve believes one has to have in order to be a successful manager? How did he end up on the roof of the Sydney Opera House with Brazilian actor and music superstar Seu Jorge?

What was his experience working with Rock Legend Meat Loaf towards the end of Meat Loaf's career? All of this and more from a true Rock 'N Roll insider!

Plus, I put Steve on the hot seat and ask him 10 questions as first made famous by Bernard Pivot and then James Lipton on Inside The Actor Studio!

Ah, 1990...the year of acid washed jeans, Beverly Hills 90210, MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Oh, and lots of Bea Arthur.

Of course, none of which we really talk about on this episode. Instead, we're focusing on the best (mostly) alternative albums to come out of that fantastic year.

Returning to Third Lad-dom is power pop great Jim Basnight, a fixture on the scene since the late '70s. What has Jim been up to in the past two and a half years since his last appearance? Well, good thing you asked, because the answer is "plenty." For starters, his bands The Meice and The Moberlys were honored with tracks on the definitive Cherry Red box sets Looking For The Magic: American Power Pop in the Seventies and I Wanna Be a Teen Again: North American Power Pop of the '80s. He also released a steady stream of singles throughout 2025 that culminated in the full length album release of Under The Rock in December. As a blues devotee and expert, he's finished writing an exhaustive history of Sonny Boy Williamson, which will hopefully see a silver screen adaptation one day. All that, and he's still found the time to partake in his favorite pasttime - hanging out with O3L.

Relive the fun, memories and music of this pivotal year. Plus, play along with the brand new O3L game "Ninety...or Nonsense?!?"

It's the most fun you can have without telling someone to "eat my shorts, man!"

Twisted Sister started as a hard-working bar band in the New York/New Jersey club scene. These guys played thousands of shows—eight thousand performances—grinding it out night after night in dive bars long before anyone knew their names. They perfected their wild theatrical metal sound the old-fashioned way: pure sweat and persistence.

Then came 1984. Stay Hungry exploded, and MTV turned 'We're Not Gonna Take It' and 'I Wanna Rock' into anthems. Those over-the-top videos launched the band from club stages straight to multi-platinum stardom. One minute they're playing for drunks; the next, they're rock stars riding the video revolution.

But success has its battles. In 1985, Dee Snider stood before a Senate committee during the PMRC hearings. While others stayed quiet, Dee looked Congress in the eye, defended artistic freedom, and made the whole room look like out-of-touch fools. It was one of the most badass moments in rock history.

Years later, the band was gearing up for their 50th anniversary shows. But Dee made the tough call: he couldn't deliver the high-energy, kick-ass performance he demanded of himself anymore—thanks to arthritis and the wear of decades on the road. Rather than give fans anything less, he stepped down with class and integrity.

 Now, he's handed the reins to Sebastian Bach, who has Dee's full blessing to front Twisted Sister for these special 2026 dates. The spirit lives on: loud, defiant, and still not gonna take it.

From the bars to MTV glory, from humiliating Congress to passing the torch—that's the Twisted Sister story
