It's no secret that we love music related documentaries. It's always interesting when the talking heads get their brains picked on an equally interesting subject. One particular doc that has gotten attention is the "Records Collecting Dust" and it's sequel.
Being vinyl fanatics, it's so cool diving into some our fave artists record collections with them. These amazing docs have inspired us to do our own audio version. We share our first vinyl, some cool collectibles and a fistful of essential platters. Featuring some amazing records ranging from Sodom to The Crue to Bob Newhart (??). What are some of your faves?
In our "News, Views and Tunes", we attend the 2024 Ai-Kon anime/manga con and discuss the Legend of Seth Putnam. Musically, we crank Paul Di'Anno's Warhorse, Destroyer 666, Iron Reagan, Overdrive (Swe), Steel Vengeance, Executioner (Boston) and The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black. Horns Up!

We all love Metallica here in the RAM offices. But those first four 80s albums was when our fandom burned brightest. And depending on the day, Record #2 "Ride The Lightning" is one of our faves. The combination of brutal thrash, brilliant musicianship and songwriting and bombastic attitude also makes it one of the more influential underground albums of the day. And this amazing slab 'o wax turns 40 (!!) years young. So we're doing a deep dive as part of our continuing look at some of the classics from '84. Lightning up your Ass!!
In our "News, Views and Tunes", we crank new and used from Bloodfeast, Bikini Kill, Warhead, Drift Into Black and introduce NYs Legionary in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up!

Last episode during our conversation about Yngwie Malmsteen's ripping debut, we causally mentioned the classic G3 tour. The G3 was a triple threat attack feat. Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Eric Johnson. It's a concept that had musical affianiodoes all abuzz. So we figured we'd share some of our fantasy G3s. Not only more traditional, but multiple subgenres as well. Which three axeslingers would you want to see tearing it up on stage?
In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss the concept of "Dad rock" and the new "Lisa Frankenstein" flick. Musically, we crank some Portrait, MDC, Cancer, Hate Eternal, Beyond Possession, Bloodbath, Yellow Fever and introduce Canuck punkers The Poor Choices in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns up!!

'84 saw the solo effort from axe virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen. "Rising Force" is an appropriate moniker as the record took the Metal World by storm. Not to mention it was kind of a trailblazing release. The 80's was definitely the era of the flamboyant frontman. But Malmsteen chose to let the music do the talking...literally. So this week we go through this musician's musician album. And Unleash The Fury!!
In our "News, Views and Tunes", we go over the "The Last Voyage of the Demeter" flick. And give a shout out to Zebra Boy from the "Heavy Metal Parking Lot" doc. Musically, we crank some new and used from Dead Kennedys, Whiplash, Adversarial, Venger, Haatan and introduce Italy's Lord Goblin in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up!

The music world rejoiced with the announcement of the upcoming "This Is Spinal Tap" sequel. Over the years The Tap has amassed such a strong and loyal following that we sometimes forget that it's not a real band, per say. Matter of fact, over the years some of our fave songs have been produced by ficticous outfits from various movies and TV.
As Metal Heads, we all love the The Lone Rangers, Sammi Curr and Dethklok. But there are a number of other great "bands" that may not be on the top of the brain. What are some of your faves?
In our "News, Views and Tunes", we talk "Godzilla: Minus One" on Netflix an Aaron educates with some Gear Talk. Musically, we crank some Gruesome, D.O.A., Reagan Youth, The Great Kat, Exorcist ('86), Rotten UK and Avenger.

Our continuing look at the amazing albums of '84...well...continues. Celebrating its 40th (!!) anniversary is the classic self-titled W.A.S.P. debut. Gaining steam from the "controversial" Animal single, this full lengther hit the racks like a bat out of hell. And the mighty W.A.S.P. were off to a legendary career. We do a deep dive into the record going into how we discovered it, our fave tracks and the impact it had in multiple subgenres. And of course all the panties it bunched along the way. Where does this amazing album rank with you? I

Rolling Stone magazine took their moniker from the obvious place. We recently learned that CREEM mag did indeed borrow their name from the legendary Cream. So we realized there were a lot of artist's names that would make magazine titles as well. So this week we compiled our own list whose names fit the description of a cool magazine. "Jimi" would be a great guitar mag. "Doro" would be a cool for Ms. type mag for the ladies of the scene. How about "Bathory" for the Black Metal crowd? I'd say we came up with great choices.
In our "News, Views and Tunes", we crank some new + used from Cloven Hoof, Necrot, Chaos UK, Oxygen Destroyer, Killer (80s), Tarot (Swe.) Holocausto Cannibal and with introduce Sweden's Bronze in our Indie Spotlight. Horns Up!!

Our beloved Heavy Metal has always illicited strong reactions. The strong is evident by the huge international fan base. While the negative, let's just say HM has a rich tradition of scaring the hell out of Joe and Jane Average. Not only by the imagery that frequently goes along the music. But the emotions and ideals that back it up. Artists like Iron Maiden, Ozzy, AC/DC and Punk rock have kept normie boomers up at night. For that we say "Horns Up!" I
n our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss some cool rock docs and The Loch Ness Monster(??!!). Musically, we crank some Impaled Nazarene, Witch Vomit, Hellbutcher, Lori Bravo, JFA, Scowl and Terminal Nation. Horns Up!
