Pantheon - Podcasts for Music Lovers

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes John to Set Lusting Bruce for a wide-ranging conversation beyond Springsteen. John, a Miami native, describes discovering music early, teaching himself by ear, forming a high-school a cappella group that pursued recording contracts and moved from Miami to New York and Washington, DC, before he left the group around age 25 due to financial realities and marketing challenges. He discusses choosing bass guitar, being left-handed, and returning to the University of Miami by working there to complete a Classics degree and a master’s. A devoted Firefly fan, John recounts contributing to The Signal and attending Awesome Con. He then pitches his six-year Rumcast podcast, explaining rum’s global diversity, additive issues, and entry recommendations, plus their Rumcast Reserve bottlings. John answers the “Mary question.”

On the 79th Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom, Zeus & special guest, Brad Rusthoven from the Slamfest Podcast,
review the 1988 album "GN'R Lies" by Guns N' Roses.

In the late 1980's Guns N' Roses exploded on the hard rock scene. Their debut album, "Appetite For Destruction" would go on to become the biggest selling debut album of all time.

GNR was led by one of a kind lead singer Axl Rose. Guitarists Slash and Izzy Stradlin formed an incredible dual guitar attack. Duff McKagan on bass and Steven Adler were a monster rhythm section.

Previous to their debut album the band released a "live" EP called Live Like A Suicide which consisted of four songs, two of which were covers. They decided to add 4 acoustic songs to side two and call the album "GN'R Lies."

The album made it to #2 on the US Billboard charts and eventually went 5 times platinum. It was produced by Guns N' Roses and Mike Clink.

GN'R Lies continued GNR's unpredictable streak and made the fans clamor for more. Raw "live songs along with amazing and catchy acoustic songs, like "Patience" which went to #4 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The legendary closing track, "One In A Million" is still controversial today!

This was the Tom's pick.

So find out all about "Nice Boys" and why do good girls like bad boys!

Are you all sitting comfybold two square on your body? Then I'll begin.

We return to the topic of the concept album...with a spin. Some concept albums simply don't work without context. Others function as a cohesive collection of songs, even divorced from a weighty backstory or overarching theme. Those are the records that Brett Vargo discusses with this week's Third Lad, Bill Kopp.

You may remember renowned music scribe Bill Kopp from his O3L appearance a few years back discussing his book on classic San Francisco indie label 415 Records, Disturbing The Peace. Now Bill's back, celebrating the release of his latest book, What's The Big Idea - 30 Great Concept Albums, out now on Hozac Books. In What's The Big Idea, Bill explores 30 remarkable concept albums, drawing from new, firsthand interviews with the artists behind their creation, including Pete Townshend, Steve Kilbey, Captain Sensible, Utopia, and William Shatner. While there are some well-known classic concept albums covered such as The Pretty Things' S.F. Sorrow and Jethro Tull's Thick As A Brick, much of the book is dedicated to lesser known gems that dispel the myth that the concept album died in the mid-1970s.

Order the book at: ⁠https://hozacrecords.com/product/pre-order-whats-the-big-idea-30-great-concept-albums-book-by-bill-kopp/⁠

We also feature music by the great veteran Australian singer-songwriter Greg Williams ('Everyday Is Your Birthday') and Pillars of Creation, a band comprised mostly of early Creation Records musicians - led by Jasmine Minks' Jim Shepherd and featuring members of Primal Scream, The Loft, and June Brides ('Be Careful What You Wish For').

We’re back with another edition of Geekwire, bringing you the latest, greatest, and dumbest rock and metal news from around the world!

This time around, we’re talking about the reported circumstances surrounding Sid Wilson’s exit from Slipknot, while members of Cinderella sound increasingly open to the idea of getting the band back on the road; but which ones?

Also, Nikki Sixx addresses the allegations of Mötley Crüe’s use of backing tracks and pushes back on criticism of the band’s live performances, Phil Lewis discusses the surprising new look that has him feeling liberated, and Theory of a Deadman’s Tyler Connolly explains where the shortened “Theory” name actually came from.

Elsewhere, Geoff Tate apparently has his sights set on sharpening his skills in the kitchen, Glenn Hughes announces his retirement from touring and live performances, and Blackie Lawless shares a message of support for former W.A.S.P. guitarist Chris Holmes.

Plus, John 5 recruits Wednesday 13 for The Creatures in 2027, Michael Sweet reveals a major change to the guitar lineup on Stryper’s upcoming Throne of Thorns album, and Motörhead enters the world of immersive entertainment with a new KnuckleBonz360 partnership.

We’ve got opinions, reactions, tangents, and probably a few arguments along the way.

It’s all happening on the latest Geekwire from the Decibel Geek Podcast.

From his early days as the name and face of the band, through a 50-year solo career, Alice Cooper has evoked a certain response! His fans have stayed with him, adding new generations, well into the 21st Century!

But in the early days, there was hell... From the parents and some critics who just never got it. By the time the band split up, Alice knew he had to go forward, leading to Ray's very first concert.

The Imbalanced Brothers go digging deep in the story with some surprising results! Tell us about your Alice experiences via email: imbalancedhistory@gmail.com
