I thought we got the Immortals back; I had Joe Bonamassa in the slot, but we ran out of time and had to cut it. These seven minutes are becoming more and more valuable every week.  The Rock & Metal Time Machine needs a bigger slot; there are just too many things to play. In the Diabolical Challenge, we continued looking at final albums made by legendary bands. We looked at planned departures where the band knew that this was going to be the last album: 

  • Pink Floyd - The Final Cut
  • The Beatles - Abbey Road
  • The Police - Synchronicity
  • Dire Straits - On Every Street 

There was a bit of discussion on Facebook around the Pink Floyd album, saying it wasn't the final album, but the way I constructed this one was that it was the final album with the classic lineup, with Waters and Gilmore together.  The classic lineup that did Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, Animals, and ended with The Final Cut.  The Beatles won easily in the polls, though.

The Diabolical Challenge featured four bands with the bass, drums, lead singer, keyboards, and guitarist format: Rainbow, Bon Jovi, Journey, and Great White.  The Rock and Metal Time Machine had some notable events occurring this week, especially on the 3rd of July. Some amazing coincidences in the 27 Club with Brian Jones and Jim Morrison and Ziggy Stardust.  It seems 3 July is quite the day to die.

I had an interesting interview with Mark Biagio of The Fismits, and we got a sneak preview of his brand-new track released tomorrow morning. The track is called 'When', and the EP is called Falling Joy.

I stitched together (excuse the pun) three of the latest one-hour TSORR Turbo shows that take place on Bulldogs Radio for an hour every Friday.  I hope it will suffice for this week.  Usually I would record up front but we've had Cat 8 storms in the Western Cape and no power for 7 out of the last 10 days.  There is not enough sun to charge the solar for a 3 hour show and keep the household running.  However, there is plenty of good music here just minus the usual Thursday night features like the Diabolical Challenge and Rock and Metal Time Machine.  I'll be back to normal for S9E21.

Here are 3 of the Friday TSORR Turbo shows I do every Friday on Bulldogs between 18h00 and 19h00 SA time.  I've stitched them together, I hope it will be an acceptable substitute for this week.

]]> Please accept my apologies for no live show this week.  I am in Paarl in the Western Cape, bought my little Border Collie and 3 other dogs on a 6-hour trip from Sedgefield, she had to have a CT scan to see if she can have a tumour on her liver removed.  The CT scan went fine, she goes in today for the op, but the person I booked accommodation with has double booked us, and we are getting thrown out in a few hours.  This unfortunately means no show tonight, even though I have everything with me to do one.  One of my mates has kindly offered to put us up for two nights, but we'll be travelling to him and I can't walk in and start recording a show live when he has offered his hospitality.

Here are 3 of the Friday TSORR Turbo shows I do every Friday on Bulldogs between 18h00 and 19h00 SA time.  I've stitched them together, I hope it will be an acceptable substitute for this week.

I also played some more Springbok Nude Girls to make amends for last week.  Dan Patlansky featured on the new Ruff Majik track.  I call this Metal Dan, and I love it.   

The diabolical challenge was fun with the hard rock heroes Gary Moore, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Marino, and Ted Nugent, and we chilled out nicely with Pink Floyd’s masterpiece 'Time' in the Immortals slot.

Audience numbers are dwindling on Bulldogs, and now that I have shut down Rebel Rock, I may have to rethink. I'll see how long we can keep this thing going for, but I suspect I will have to find another home for the Live show soon.  

The one thing that didn't work was the Springbok Nude Girls track I've called ‘Total Shit’ because it came up as 'Blue Eyes' but it's just one of those awful trumpet/warble jams they sometimes do. I suggest skipping from about 2:00 to 2:07. Other than that, it was great. Enjoyed it. Hope you do too.

My daughter was with me in the studio, and it was great having her here to chat while we played the music we love. The Diabolical Challenge was a tie for the first time, so I have to do some work to pull a winner out for next week's playoff.  Probably a coin toss.  

It was a great show, something for everyone here.

The theme of the show was moving on. TSORR's days of broadcasting from the wastelands of ANC-run Johannesburg are drawing to a close, and once the relocation is complete in January, we have huge plans for 2025. There is something for everyone here: rock, metal, ballads, and blues, and as always, it’s all about the guitars.         

On the Twisted Triplets, we had three tracks called ‘Move On’. The three contributing artists were Paul Stanley, Walter Trout, and David Bowie. In the Evolution of Judas Priest, we are at a high point. It’s 1980, and this is Priest's evolutionary high point—their fish moves onto land moment - British Steel. 

The Immortals slot went to White Buffalo and the Forest Rangers and a track off the Sons of Anarchy called ‘Come Join the Murder’.       

The Diabolical Challenge looked at 4 albums produced by Kevin Shirley:  

The Black Crowes – Shake Your Money Maker

Cold Chisel - Last Wave of Summer

Joe Bonamassa – Driving Towards the Daylight

Iron Maiden – Brave New World

The artists featured (see below) are in order of play, so you can get to the stuff you like quickly if you want to.  

Regarding the above-mentioned, I interviewed Basson Laas, a singer-songwriter who has just released a new track called “Worth Loving”.  We chatted for about 8 minutes and played the track.  Check out the video on YouTube, it is really cool.  It will be the next TSORR newsletter (contact me if you want to be on the TSORR mailing list for the monthly Newsletter).     

This week on the Twisted Triplets we had three tracks called “Million Miles Away” from Stanley June, Rory Gallagher, and Hanoi Rocks.  Stanley June is a South African artist out of Johannesburg.  Rory’s track is actually called ‘A’ Million Miles Away, but it seemed a shame to gong him out for that,  let’s just say one of the triplets had a slight genetic defect.   

This week, Immortals came from The Cult, and a track called “White”, taken off their album Ceremony.     

The Diabolical Challenge looked at four bands beginning with the letter ‘F’.  The idea is that we have 4 albums, and you can only pick one.  This week we had:

I had a great interview with the guys from Jasper Dan, we got a scoop on their brand new track "Mama Voodoo" which was released the following morning.   

This week on the Twisted Twins we had two tracks called “Speed of Light’.  The first from Iron Maiden and the second from The Cult off their Beyond Good and Evil Album.  

Immortals this week came from Guns ‘n’ Roses with “Breakdown”, a most amazing track off Use Your Illusion II.  Axl Rose, at this stage of his career, was probably the biggest rock star in the world.  One thing that he doesn’t get enough recognition for in my view is his incredibly good lyrics.  This track is a great example.   

The Diabolical Challenge looked at four bands beginning with the letter ‘E’.  The idea is that we have 4 albums, and you can only pick one.  This week we had:

]]> S7E19 went out Live on Rebel Rock Radio at 19h00 on 9 May 2024.  Winter is coming to Johannesburg so this show helped to warm up the airwaves.  We kicked off with Blackfoot of Tomcattin’ and a track called 'Gimme, Gimme, Gimme'.  From there on out it was all the rock and metal we could squeeze in from the last 55 years.   

Continuing with Evolutions we took in a track off The Foo Fighters' second album The Color and The Shape.     

Just to reiterate please NOTE that if you listen to TSORR on Google Podcasts they are shutting it down and forcing podcasters onto YouTube Music.  The problem with that is you just can’t get through the red tape and the shows get blocked due to the convoluted licencing structures.  You can find us on plenty of other sites if this happens.  The TSORR website www.thestoryofrockandroll.com will always be able to help.  You can also always contact TSORR on Facebook, X, or Instagram.     

This week's Twisted Twins featured tracks called ‘Reason to Believe’.  Bruce Springsteen and Arch Enemy did the honours.    

 Immortals this week came from Gary Moore and a track called 'Blood of Emeralds'.  It was tempting to give ‘Parisienne Walkways’ a go but traditionally we stay more obscure with immortals.  Maybe next time.

Immortals was courtesy of Avenged Sevenfold, the title track off The Stage, the last good album they made before they went mental and served up the biggest turd in the history of metal.  off the Born to Run album, we took a listen to ‘Jungleland’.  Springsteen is at his finest on this groundbreaking album but it’s Clarens Clemons’ sax solo that really makes it Immortal.

To remind you to get tickets for next year's Green Day, The Offspring, and Fokofpolisikar concert in Cape Town and JHB we again took a quick track from each of them.   This weeks Twisted Twins featured a song called 'Lost in Hollywood'.  The new Judas Priest is out so obviously we continued to rave about that.    

This week’s Immortals feature was incredible.  Mark Knopfler has assembled 60 musicians, mostly guitarists (he’s got Ringo and his son Zak on drums and Sting on Bass), and it is a veritable who’s who of guitar.  The track has been recorded by Mark Knopfler and Friends to raise funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust.  It’s a new version of 'Going Home' (Theme from Local Hero) and, it includes contributions from among others Joe Bonamassa, Slash, Springsteen, Joe Satriani, Steve Lukather, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, John Mc Laughlin, Brian May, the list goes.  Incredible.

]]> S7E12 went out live on Rebel Rock Radio at 19h00 on 21 March 2024.  It was full throttle out of the gate with Dio and ‘Evil Eyes’.  We had some new music from Dan Patlansky, Judas Priest and Bruce Dickenson.  Most interesting is a new single from Vended.  I am really digging Vended a lot, sons of Slipknot, literally, Griffin Tayor and Simon Crahan doing their parents proud.   

To remind you to get tickets for next year's Green Day, The Offspring, and Fokofpolisikar concert in Cape Town and JHB we again took a quick track from each of them.   This weeks Twisted Twins featured a song called 'Lost in Hollywood'.  The new Judas Priest is out so obviously we continued to rave about that.    

This week’s Immortals feature was incredible.  Mark Knopfler has assembled 60 musicians, mostly guitarists (he’s got Ringo and his son Zak on drums and Sting on Bass), and it is a veritable who’s who of guitar.  The track has been recorded by Mark Knopfler and Friends to raise funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust.  It’s a new version of 'Going Home' (Theme from Local Hero) and, it includes contributions from among others Joe Bonamassa, Slash, Springsteen, Joe Satriani, Steve Lukather, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, John Mc Laughlin, Brian May, the list goes.  Incredible.       

This week's Diabolical Challenge looked at four bands beginning with the letter ‘L’.  The idea is that we have 4 albums, and you can only pick one.  This week we had: 

Loverboy – Get Lucky

Led Zeppelin – Over the Hills and Far Away

Lynyrd Skynyrd – Second Helping

Live – Throwing Copper

 

Artists Featured: Dio, Chickenfoot, Phil X & the Drills, ACDC, ZZ Top, Saxon, Motörhead, The Union Underground, Overkill, Black Tide, Alice Cooper, Doomsday Outlaw, Michael Schenker Group, Guns ‘n’ Roses, Volbeat, Rainbow, System of a Down, Judas Priest, Bruce Dickinson, Bullet For My Valentine, Machine Head, Green Day, The Offspring, Fokofpolisiekar, Loverboy, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Live, Metallica, Megadeth, Vended, Piet Botha & Jackhammer, Joe Bonamassa, Dan Patlansky, Pink Floyd.

The Immortals slot, a track over 7 min long, went to Deep Purple’s ‘Knocking at Your Back Door' off their 1984 Perfect Strangers album.  This album was the reunion of the celebrated Mk II line-up and did very well for them.   

The Diabolical Challenge this week was 4 bands starting with the Letter ‘D’:

David Bowie – Scary Monsters and Super Creeps

]]> Welcome to Episode 4 of Season 7.  S7E4 went out live at 19h00 on 25 Jan 2024 on Rebel Rock Radio.  Amazing to think that the first month of 2024 is done, where does the time go?  We started gently with some Iron Maiden and the show progressed from there.  We had new releases from Green Day, Saxon, Judas Priest, and Ryan Adams.  The year is starting off well.    

The Immortals slot, a track over 7 min long, went to Deep Purple’s ‘Knocking at Your Back Door' off their 1984 Perfect Strangers album.  This album was the reunion of the celebrated Mk II line-up and did very well for them.   

The Diabolical Challenge this week was 4 bands starting with the Letter ‘D’:

 Dio – The Last in Line

The Darkness – Permission to Land

David Bowie – Scary Monsters and Super Creeps

Def Leppard – On Through the Night

 Bowie was unstoppable here.  

Artists featured: Iron Maiden, ACDC, Daughtry, Iron Allies, Accept, Pilgrim South, Mark Haze, Seether, POD, Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Saxon, Massive Wagons, Megadeth, Halestorm, Pat Benatar, Samantha Fish, W.A.S.P., Ted Nugent, The Almighty, Thin Lizzy, Ace Frehley, Journey, Ignite, Judas Priest, Deep Purple, Dio, Def Leppard, The Darkness, David Bowie, The Rolling stones, Springbok Nude Girls, Buckcherry, Bob Dylan, Wolfmother , Volbeat, Ryan Adams, Kid Rock.

It ended up being one of my favourite shows ever.  The end was gloriously spontaneous, and the people tuned in were just awesome.  Going round the world in 40 min at the end of the show was amazing, unplanned and a great way to say goodnight.   

The Immortals track in the episode was Rainbow’s ‘Light in the Black’.  This comes off the Rising album, one of the greatest albums to come out of the ‘70s 

This weeks Diabolical Challenge looked at four bands beginning with the letter ‘C’.  The four albums were Chickenfoot III, London Calling, Blast Tyrant, and Electric:

 The tracks played were.  

Chickenfoot – Alright, alright

The Immortals feature this week is from Rush, a track called By-tor and the Snow Dog off their second album Fly By Night.  This was the first album they made after Neal Peart joined the band after the resignation of John Rutsey.  The track consists of 8 parts and gave the world the first glimpse of the direction Rush were taking going forward.  There was a little technical glitch after Yngwie J. Malmsteen, it comes back after about 45 seconds so just jump it or wait it out, apologies for that. 

 

The Diabolical Challenge checked out 4 bands found under ‘B’ in the record collection.  We took a listen to tracks off Mob Rules, Badlands, Nebraska, and Boston: 

Black Sabbath – Mob Rules

Boston – 

Badlands – Dancing on the Edge

Bruce Springsteen  - Reason to Believe 

Artists Featured:  Hanoi Rocks, Joe Bonamassa, Krokus, Phil Campbell & The Bastard Sons, Ozzy Osbourne, Danko Jones, Halford, Iron Maiden, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Drowning Pool, Alice In Chains, Beartooth, Coheed & Cambria, Ryan Adams, Simon & Garfunkel, Black Star Riders, Yngwie J.

The Immortals Track tonight was something different.  Last week we played a track by Roger Kaye.  Roger was a very good friend of mine; I met him at high school and he was one of the most talented musicians I have ever known.  He was a multi-instrumentalist and did some amazing stuff.  All this can be found in my book The Story of Rock and Roll so I won’t go into any detail, but I mentioned a track he did for his father.  It is Prelude in Dm Symphony no 40 in Gm (K550), 1st movement Molto Allegro.  Music written by Mozart and interpreted by Roger on electric guitar.  He worked it all out instrument by instrument and the results are amazing.  This is a home recording that took him a few months to do.

The Immortals track this week was ‘The King Will Come’ off Wishbone Ash’s career highwater mark Argus.  Amazing track by an amazing band.   

This week's Diabolical Challenge looked at 1998:

]]> S6E48 went out live on Rebel Rock Radio on 30 Nov 2023.  All last week’s technical problems were sorted and we had a hassle-free show other than the fact that I forgot to turn on the inverter before load shedding which took us off air for 5 min.  The podcast is fine but that’s what that was about when I mentioned it.  The show kicked off and closed off with KISS.  This amazing band are largely responsible for my love for rock and metal.  As detailed in the Book The Story of Rock and Roll, once I heard KISS for the first time I was hooked forever.  KISS are playing their last show on 2 Dec 2023 and that will be at Madison Square Gardens.  After that, it’s the end of KISS as a live act.   That is what the band are saying whether or not they will ever do a one-off who knows 

The Immortals track this week was ‘The King Will Come’ off Wishbone Ash’s career highwater mark Argus.  Amazing track by an amazing band.   

This week's Diabolical Challenge looked at 1998: 

Marilyn Manson -Mechanical Animals

System of a Down – System of a Down

Pearl Jam – Wishlist

Kid Rock – Devil Without a Cause

 

Artists Featured:  KISS, Burn Halo, Hinder, Dave Hause, Volbeat, Joel Hoekstra’s 13, Elegant Weapons, Coheed & Cambria, Hell Fire, Black Stone Cherry, Frank Marino, Whitesnake, Montrose, Van Halen, Yngwie J.

The Immortals track this week featured Guitar God Yngwie Malmsteen.   His Rising Force album left guitarists around the world gob smacked.  It was hard to believe anyone could play this fast with super human precision.  The Icarus Dream Suite is the prefect showcase of what Yngwie was all about.  

 

This weeks Diabolical Challenge didn’t get a lot of love.  It is interesting how many people that love rock and metal and know all the classic bands seemed to stop listening in about 2010.  I found it difficult to get any clear favourite out of these four.  Most people just had not listened to them:

 

Foo Fighters – Concrete and Gold

Arch Enemy – Will To Power

Kreator – Gods of Violence

Accept – The Rise of Chaos

 

 

Artists featured:  Jimmy Barnes, Clutch, The L.A.

There is a bit of confusion at 43:56 where I thought the mic was off but it wasn't and then turned it off and did the bit again because I didn't know what we had captured.  The joys of live radio.  

This week's Immortals track was Johnny Was by Stiff Little Fingers and for the Diabolical Challenge we looked at 1968.  

The Beatles – The White Album

Jimi Hendrix – Electric Ladyland

The Rolling Stones – Beggars Banquet

Marilyn Manson – Antichrist Superstar

In Flames – The Jesters Race

This entire show was dedicated to Athol.  I wasn't sure how it would go, and I tried to keep it upbeat and focused on the good times and the power of the music rather than the sadness.  I will miss him forever and I hope I have done him justice in these 3 hours.  All of these tracks were favourites of ours and in most cases, I have vivid memories of discussing them with him over the last 6 years.  Rest in Peace my brother I will miss you

James Michael and DJ Ashba add their talent to the charisma and drive of Nikki Sixx.   Sixx A.M. contrasts the light and the dark in a way that few artists can do.  Check it out.

The Immortals this week featured a track called 'Battle Hymns' by the mighty Manowar.  This was the title track off their 1982 release, an album that did really well for them.  We stayed with the '80s and checked out 1981 for this week’s Diabolical Challenge.  The albums and tracks selected were: 

ACDC:  For Those About To Rock – ‘For Those About To Rock’

Ozzy Osbourne:  Diary of a Madman – ‘Over The Mountain’

Iron Maiden:  Killers – ‘Murders In The Rue Morgue’

Rush:  Moving Pictures – ‘Red Barchetta’ 

For once we had a clear favorite, Rush's Moving pictures was the album most chosen as the one to be taken if you could only have one.  In other news Philistine’s debut album has been unbanned and we took a listen to 'Black Mamba'.  The album is produced by Theo Crous who has done a great job.  On this track in particular Dean Smith shows his amazing ability to generate the feeling of the snake moving, its quite eerie, and incedibly effective.  We heard new stuff from Danko Jones and Corey Taylor as well.   Check it out and feel free to comment on any of the TSORR social media sites.  I am deeply appreciative of the time you spend on TSORR.

This week in The Immortals slot, tracks over seven minutes long that really showcase what a band can do but seldom gets airplay.  This week we gave Guns ‘n’ Roses the slot.  They have so many that qualify, e.g. November Rain and Estranged but we took a listen to Civil War.   

The Diabolical Challenge focused on 2010.  There were good efforts from Scorpions, Black Label Society, Godsmack, Parkway Drive, and Slash but we had a choice of:

Airbourne – No Guts, No Glory

Accept – Time Machine

Iron Maiden – The Final Frontier

Avenged Sevenfold – Nightmare.   

We said a sad farewell to Rodriguez who passed away this week at 81.  Rodriguez is a legend to many of us who grew up in the ‘70s and ‘80s.  A singer-songwriter the likes of which come around a few times a generation.  I let him have the final word.   

Artists featured:  Amanda Palmer, Quiet Riot, ACDC, Rammstein, Seether, Texas Hippie Coalition, Michael Monroe, Buckcherry, Five Finger Death Punch, Nita Strauss and Anders Friden, Thunder, Ratt, the Cult, Thundermother, The Clash, Stiff Little Fingers, UK Subs, Gov’t Mule, Robbie Robertson, Ayron Jones, Greta Van Fleet, Bewitcher, Godsmack, Device, Firehouse, Guns ‘n’ Roses, Airbourne, Accept, Iron maiden, Avenged Sevenfold, Marvelous 3, Linkin park, Scorpions, Black Label Society, Rodriguez, Piet Botha, Rodriguez (RIP)

]]> Episode 32 of Season 6 went out live on Rebel Rock Radio at 19h00 on 10 August 2023.  We kicked off with Amanda Palmer, you heard right, something different for a change.  From there it was all Quiet Riot, ACDC, and the usual stuff, and by that, you can have a look at the Artists Featured List below. 

This week in The Immortals slot, tracks over seven minutes long that really showcase what a band can do but seldom gets airplay.  This week we gave Guns ‘n’ Roses the slot.  They have so many that qualify, e.g. November Rain and Estranged but we took a listen to Civil War.   

The Diabolical Challenge focused on 2010.  There were good efforts from Scorpions, Black Label Society, Godsmack, Parkway Drive, and Slash but we had a choice of:

Airbourne – No Guts, No Glory

Accept – Time Machine

Iron Maiden – The Final Frontier

Avenged Sevenfold – Nightmare.

The big news this week was an interview with the multitalented SA Rock legend Mark Haze.  Mark had some kind words to say about the old days when I met him at the very, very start of his musical career.  Our 5 minute interview went on a bit longer and would have gone even longer if we didn’t call time in the interest of the music.  We were incredibly privileged to hear Gareth Haze’s new track ‘Home’.  Mark is busy working with Gareth on his debut album, really looking forward to hearing it in a few months' time. 

The Immortals section of the show featured Dire Straits and the opening track of their third album Making Movies.  The track is of course ‘Tunnel of Love’, it is an amazing preview of how Mark Knopfler was developing as a songwriter and showed the path to their mega-selling Love Over Gold album.   

This week's Ultimate Challenge was a problem.  We looked at 1983 and started with 6 albums.  I managed to whittle it down during the week by leaving out Ozzy Osbourne’s Bark At The Moon and Mötley Crüe’s Shout At The Devil.  This left us with Def Leppard – Pyromania, Iron Maiden – Piece of Mind, Dio – Holy Diver, and Metallica – Kill ‘Em All.  So very hard, Pyromania sold the most by far, Holy Diver is one of the most beloved debut albums of all time, and Kill ‘Em All changed the face of metal forever.  It also marks the point where the Ultimate Challenge ended.  Not the concept but the name, it is now known as The Diabolical Challenge.    

Artists featured:  The Boomtown Rats, Skid Row, Ratt, U.D.O., Buckcherry, Extreme, Mammoth WVH, Joel Hoekstra, Disturbed, Shinedown, James Reyne, Cold Chisel, Rory Gallagher, Billy F. Gibbons, The Black Cat Bones, Ignite, Seether, Godsmack, Gareth Haze with Mark Haze, 12th Avenue, Megadeth, Dire Straits, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Dio, Metallica, Butch Walker, David Bowie, The Clash, Tom Petty, Wolfmother, Badlands, winery Dogs, Greta Van Fleet

The Immortals this week paid tribute to all our friends in the USA and we wished them an awesome Independence Day earlier this week.  To celebrate we played Bruce Springsteen’s 4th of July, Ashbury Park (Sandy) off Live '75 - '85, one of the best live albums ever made imho.

We also had a short interview with Truth Decayed’s front man Ryno Theron and played 'Vicious Circles' off their brand new EP Faded Visions II

]]> Episode 25 went out live on Rebel Rock Radio at 7pm on 22 June 2023.  The show kicked off with ‘Brown Sugar’ and got even sweeter after that.   Please note that there is about a minute of silence at around 37:00, there was a technical problem, please be patient it comes back strong. 

We heard from Philistine who updated us on the banning of their brand-new album Seranim.  The album was due for release on 20 June and has been banned from the main platforms.  We hear from Marq Vas as to what is going on.  We also featured 2009 as the year for this week’s Ultimate Challenge, Slayer – World Painted Blood, Five Finger Death Punch, Rammstein – Haifisch, Megadeth – Endgame. 

The Immortals slot featured Iron Maiden with Paul DiAnno on vocals and a track called ‘Phantom of the Opera.  In between we had classics from led zeppelin, ACDC, Dio, and David Bowie.  See the artists featured below.

This show was special because we had a worldwide exclusive launch of the second track off the forthcoming Philistine album Seranim, this one's called 'Leviticus' and it's seriously great.   We also had the launch of a new feature called Mystery Song.  This is a track sent to me by Metal Jaco, I agreed not to listen to it up front so was totally in the dark as to what we are going to hear.  Anyway if I tell you what Mystery Track was it will spoil the podcast.  It was classified by a listener as 'Linda Take Walk' Music but it went down well.   

The Immortals this week was a bit different, and we listened to Frank Zappa’s masterpiece ‘Titties and Beer’.  The Ultimate Challenge as usual got people talking, once the music started shit got real, Megadeth took it with Machine Head and Bush after that.  For what its worth my pick was Machine Head.  

As menetioned TSORR had exclusive rights to be the first to play Philistines second release off their forthcoming album Sensium.  I had a great 5 min interview which quickly went to 8 min and could easily have gone an hour.  I am thinking of interviewing them again when the album launches and doing a Rock Review style one hour special when its released.  Let me know if you like that idea.   

For the rest it was a pretty heavy show albeit with a slower taper off at the end.  I hope you enjoy it.  Check out the website and Facebook pages for all tings TSORR.  If you want a copy of the book The Story of Rock and Roll get in touch.    

Artists featured:  Judas Priest, Deep Purple, Tesla, Airbourne, WASP, Buckcherry, Rose Tattoo, The Screaming Jets, Accept, Doomsday Outlaw, Texas Hippie Coalition, Junkyard, Seether, Gary Moore, Molly Hatchet, The Color Blew, Halestorm, Joan Jett, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Orbit Culture, Shinedown, My Chemical Romance, Iron maiden, Ayron Jones, Frank Zappa, Bush, Megadeth, Machine Head, Pantera, Philistine, Pink Floyd, Dave Hause, Cold Chisel, Marvelous 3

New releases included stuff from Buck Cherry and Greta Van Fleet.   There were tracks from the Foo Fighters and from Avenged Sevenfold but we didn’t get to them which tells you something about the show.   

I did a big cheat for the Immortals this week and played ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’ off Who’s Next, it’s a big cheat because the Ultimate Challenge looked at 4 albums from 1971 and I could not decide what to choose.  There was Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers, Bowie - Hunky Dory, The Doors – LA Woman, Deep Purple – Fireball and they got sidelined for Led Zeppelin IV, Black Sabbath – Master of Reality, Jethro Tull – Aqualung, and Uriah Heep – Look at Yourself. So I put The Who’s ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’ as the Immortals Track.

The show went out on Rebel Rock Radio on 25 May 2023.  It was pre-recorded as I was away in a wonderful little town called Sedgefield somewhere along the Garden Route in the Western Cape.  I listened in and chatted to the people and it was a very cool show.  We kicked off with Orange Goblin, they made their TSORR debut with ‘Save Me From Myself’.  I will be playing much more Orange Goblin in the future, Ben Ward and the lads know how to rock.  From there it was all slash-and-burn up-tempo stuff like Jørn, L.A. Guns and Ace Frehley with ‘In Pursuit of Rock ‘n’ Roll.

I had a great chat with Justin VR and it was really interesting to talk to him.  We took a listen to his brand new single ‘She Said’.  Justin is described as country alt-rock so we stayed in a related area and checked out a guy who is new to me followed by a guy who is definitely not new to me.  I am talking Jelly Roll and Kid Rock respectively.  After that, we needed a bit of metal so Exodus and Gojira were called into the ring to break some heads.   

Near the end of the show, we checked out some interesting cover songs, Longview, which is a Bily Joe Armstrong side project, and Chris Cornell with a very interesting mix-up of the lyrics from Metallica and U2 in his version of the U2 track ‘One’.  Chris committed suicide on 18 May 2017, this track was recorded in 2015.  RIP Chris, you are missed.   

This week’s Immortals track was provided by one of my favourite bands ever The Stranglers.  We checked out 7:58 of the final track of their debut album Rattus Norvegicus.  JJ Burnell and Dave Greenfield are superb throughout.  For the Ultimate Challenge, we had a look at 2011 and the four albums chosen were Chickenfoot – III, Foo Fighters – Wasting Light, Sixx A.M. – This Is Gonna Hurt, and Five Finger Death Punch.  It was a toss-up between Foo Fighters and Chickenfoot.    

Artists featured:  Orange Goblin, Jørn, Megadeth, L.A. Guns, Ace Frehley, Grand Funk Railroad, ACDC, Korn, Halestorm, The Pretty Reckless, Van Halen, Tom Keifer, Triumph, Rush, Riot, Sinner, Texas Hippie Coalition, Circus of Power, Justin VR, Jelly Roll, Kid Rock, Exodus, Gojira, The Stranglers, Five Finger Death Punch, Chickenfoot, Sixx A.M.

We had a short, sharp, and very entertaining five-minute interview with Peter Toussaint from Fourth Son South and we took a listen to their brand new single 'The Moon'.  As always with this weekly SA music presentation slot it went down very well.  

In this week's Ultimate Challenge, we looked at 1990 and there were a ton of killer albums released over those 365 days.  The four that made the list were ACDC – The Razors Edge, Judas Priest – Painkiller, Queensrÿche – Empire, and Megadeth – Rust In Peace.  I was studying hard for a degree in 1990 and these albums were part of the soundtrack which made them extra special.   Due to technical reasons, ACDC dropped out and was replaced with Pantera - Cowboys From Hell.  Queensrÿche took it from Megadeth but it was close.  

Earlier this week I did a Rock Review on Neil Young.  If you missed it you can find it on podcast.  On that Rock Review I wanted to play Neil's absolute classic track 'Cortez the Killer' but clocking in at 7:49 it would have swallowed up 11% of the show.  I kept it for this week's Immortals track and it went down very well.  For those who do not know TSORR Immortals are tracks that are considered too long for radio but that are classics and fully representative of what the band is capable of.  

The show ended fairly quietly by TSORR standards.  the last 15 minutes is normally the heavier side of the show, for a change we were mellow with Bowie, Tom Petty, a rare Status Quo ballad, and The Killer's wonderful Miss Atomic Bomb.  Hope you enjoy it, 

Artists featured:  Poison, The Four Horsemen, Thunder, Thin Lizzy, U2, Texas Hippie Coalition, Stone Sour, Smith / Kotzen, Molly Hatchet, Adrenaline Mob, Phil Campbell, Ricky Warwick, Soundgarden, Five Finger Death Punch, Nashville Pussy, Green Day, Sum 41, Blink 182, Marvelous 3, Volbeat, Fourth Son South, Van Halen, Rainbow, BlackØwl, Doomsday Outlaw, Neil Young, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Pantera, Queensrÿche, Dave Hause, Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds, Marilyn Manson, David Bowie, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Status Quo, The Killers

The Ultimate Challenge for this episode looked at 4 albums from 1978 and what a year it was.  Van Halen – Van Halen, Judas Priest -  Stained Class, ACDC – Power Age, and Rainbow – Long Live Rock and Roll.  It went to the wire between ACDC and Van Halen but in the end, sanity prevailed and Van Halen took its rightful place as the greatest album of 1978 and probably the decade.    

This week's Immortals track was Metallica's ‘The Day That Never Comes’ off the Death Magnetic album.  For the rest of the show, we fitted in US Punk (Anti-Flag), UK Punk (The Clash), and SA Rock (Cutting Jade, Van Coke Kartel, and Future Radio).  Things are tough in South Africa right now, we are up to 10 to 12 hours a day without power, so we used Foo Fighters to give us a bit of a boost with 'Times Like These'.  Hope you enjoy the episode, cheers until next time.

This week's Immortals track was Metallica's ‘The Day That Never Comes’ off the Death Magnetic album.  For the rest of the show, we fitted in US Punk (Anti-Flag), UK Punk (The Clash), and SA Rock (Cutting Jade, Van Coke Kartel, and Future Radio).  Things are tough in South Africa right now, we are up to 10 to 12 hours a day without power, so we used Foo Fighters to give us a bit of a boost with 'Times Like These'.  Hope you enjoy the episode, cheers until next time.  

Artists featured:  Herman Frank, Drowning Pool, Quiet Riot, KilliT, Cutting Jade, Shinedown, Seether, Reef, Buckcherry, Rival Sons, Satellite Party & Perry Farrell, Extreme, Bush, The Cult, Bad Company, Doomsday Outlaw, Anti-Flag, Future Radio, Foo Fighters, Van Coke Cartel, The Color Blew, The Clash, Stone Sour, Machine Head, Metallica, Rainbow, ACDC, Judas Priest, Van Halen, The Rolling Stones, Texas Hippie Coalition, Girish & The Chronicles, Sepultura, Savage, David Bowie, Parkway Drive

There were some great pairings on this episode;  we checked out Sons of Apollo back to back with Bristol band Sons of Liberty, and we put Rush and Mastodon together and heard  'Subdivisions’ and ‘The Beast’ respectively.  We also went to Germany and played Accept (winner of last week's Ultimate Challenge) and Rammstein who has been neglected on TSORR of late.   

We looked at 1986 for the Ultimate Challenge.  The UC is a look at four albums from a particular year.  This week it was Van Halen - 5150, Metallica - Master of Puppets, Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet, and Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time.  On the Immortals we featured a track by Steve Winwood off the amazing album Arc of the Diver.  The track was 'Night Train', and as I recall Steve played all the instruments himself. 

We had a big scoop this week where we got to play another track off the brand new (Released 5 May) Deadline album Vitriol Inc, we heard 'Codebreaker' and the other big news was we played Philistine's debut track called 'Blue Train'.  Philistine is Dean Smith and Marq Vas, both stalwarts of SA Metal through bands like Metalmorphosis and Ragnarok.  Theo Crous produced this masterpiece.   

Artists featured:  Judas Priest, Glenn Hughes, Ted Nugent, UFO, Status Quo, Q5, Guns ‘n’ Roses, Nazareth, Jimi Hendrix, Rush, Mastodon, Sons of Apollo, Sons of Liberty, Accept Rammstein, Shinedown, Soundgarden, ACDC, Airbourne, Oasis, Sex Pistols, Stiff Little Fingers, KISS, Tom Petty, John Mellencamp, Steve Winwood, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Philistine, Deadline, Overkill, Dave Hause

We kicked off with ACDC and a track off Back in Black called 'Shoot to Thrill'.  It was Freedom Day in South Africa so we celebrated our freedom from electricity, water, and roads without potholes.  We listened to stuff like Badlands 'Streets Cry Freedom' and Tesla ‘Freedom Slaves’ to stay in the moment.   

The Immortals track this week, (that’s a track over 7 minutes long that is fully representative of what an artist is all about but generally is too long for radio airplay) featured Rory Gallagher performing his masterpiece ‘A Million Miles Away’.  This version was nine minutes long and came from his fantastic album Irish Tour ’74 40th Anniversary Edition.  Special shou out to bass guitarist Gerry McAvoy whose contribution is immense.  There were some awesome moments on this show, like the power pairings of Dirty Honey's  ‘Another Last Time’ with The Darkness' ‘Holding My Own’.  Here the synergy comes from the emotional slow bluesy guitars, it is just amazing.  

There wasn’t a lot of new stuff so we continued with Metallica’s 72 Seasons as well as Ian Hunter’s Defiance pt 1.  There was a new Texas Hippie Coalition so planned to give that a run but ran out of time, next week, I promise.   

On the local music, we had a short interview with flash rockers Marene and took in their brand new release ‘Partners In Crime’, it is a great track and we also took a listen to ‘Poison’ by Jackson Colt just to keep the SA music flowing.  Jackson Colt is such an awesome guitarist, it’s great how we have all these guitarists who were exposed to guitar-based music from bands like Kiss, Van Halen, and all the ’80s mega-bands by parents like me :-), we are certainly richer for it. 

The Ultimate Challenge this week featured Tom Petty – Hypnotic Eye, Foo Fighters – Sonic Highways, Accept – Blind Rage, and Seether – Isolate and Medicate.  No clear winner here, I got votes for all of them, but then Accept just crept in by a last minute vote.  Top lyric goes to Seether for “Because you’re the one who needs the fucking intervention" line although in retrospect The Jam with 'Thick as Thieves' a song all about the ANC was right up there.  

The end of this show was a mad rush to squeeze in UK Punk from The Stranglers, The Clash, and The Jam, also some Kid Rock, and for the first time ever on TSORR a track from Eminem.   We finished with something completely different and it went down very well, enjoy.   

Artists featured:  ACDC, Badlands, Rough Cutt, Airbourne, La>a Guns, Adrenaline, Clutch, Dirty Honey, The Darkness, The Offspring, Danko Jones, Aerosmith, Rainbow, Rainbow, Five Finger Death Punch, System of a Down, Tesla, The Dead Daisies, Marene, Jackson Colt, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Metallica, Ian Hunter, Ace Frehley, Rory Gallagher, Seether, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Foo Fighters, Accept, The Clash, the Jam, The Stranglers, Kid Rock, Eminem, Monty Python

The album is to be called Six and there are 3 tracks out so far.  We also had a surprise release from the Foo Fighters.  The band is calling it a new beginning.  According to Rolling Stone; The album arrives “after a year of staggering losses, personal introspection, and bittersweet remembrances,” the album’s listing page notes. “A brutally honest and emotionally raw response to everything Foo Fighters have endured recently, But Here We Are is a testament to the healing powers of music, friendship, and family.”  Following on from the tragic death of Taylor Hawkins the Foos have regrouped and united through music.  No one is saying who drummed on the track, but it does sound like Dave to me. I still hope Rufus Taylor will get the gig. 

The Ultimate Challenge was way more difficult than normal because 1976 was so strong.  We had 6 albums, Thin Lizzy – Jailbreak, Kiss - Destroyer, Judas Priest – Sad Wings of Destiny, Rainbow – Rising, Rush - 2112, and Boston – Boston.  What do you do when you are supposed to pick one out of four and you can't even pick four from six?  I played all 6 and broke my own rules.  The popular choice was Jailbreak, personally Sad Wings and Destroyer are very special to me.  The general view from the listeners was that 1976 was phenomenal and these 6 albums just prove it.    

We had some TSORR oddities and called back the past with Madness and Adam and the Ants, both went down well.  The Immortals this week featured Creedance Clearwater Revival and their 7:39 Track ‘Keep on Chooglin’.  This track gets into your head, the Doctor says it normally takes a week to stop singing 'Keep On Chooglin' to yourself.    

This was one of the most enjoyable shows in a long time, with good vibes on the airwaves and cool people to share it with, Ed’s dead baby, Ed’s dead, Long live Nuno.

In terms of highlights we had the brand new Metallica, title track of their forthcoming album 72 Seasons.  It is wonderful, if you don’t like it then I gotta say maybe you never liked really liked Metallica, maybe you should admit they are just not for you.  The weekly interview was with Ross Harding and it was very cool to catch up with him and discuss his brand new track ‘Everything is Black’.  The Ultimate Challenge this week looked at 4 albums from 2000.  The candidates were Iron Maiden – Brave New World, Linkin Park – Hybrid Theory, Disturbed – The Sickness, and In Flames – Clayman.  Iron Maiden was the clear winner this week, Hybrid Theory did next best.  The Immortals slot was awarded to Judas Priest and we basked in the glow of ‘Victim of Changes’.   

The Punk part was filled by The Stranglers, Sex Pistols and UK Subs, this to celbrate my brand new Stranglers T-Shirt, this is a bucket list shirt and the story behind it is buried near the end of the show.  We went out heavy with Dark Tranquility and Parkway Drive.

]]> S6E13 kicked off at 19h00 sharp on 30 March 2023 on Rebel Rock Radio.  The show started a bit differently with a track called ‘City Lights’ by Motionless In White, from there normality was restored with Scorpions and Motörhead.  We went back to Germany for 'Buck Dich' from Rammstein and then shifted to the USA for some Aerosmith, and a track on the Get a Grip album titled 'Walk on Down'.   Follow the list below for the deatils.  

In terms of highlights we had the brand new Metallica, title track of their forthcoming album 72 Seasons.  It is wonderful, if you don’t like it then I gotta say maybe you never liked really liked Metallica, maybe you should admit they are just not for you.  The weekly interview was with Ross Harding and it was very cool to catch up with him and discuss his brand new track ‘Everything is Black’.  The Ultimate Challenge this week looked at 4 albums from 2000.  The candidates were Iron Maiden – Brave New World, Linkin Park – Hybrid Theory, Disturbed – The Sickness, and In Flames – Clayman.  Iron Maiden was the clear winner this week, Hybrid Theory did next best.  The Immortals slot was awarded to Judas Priest and we basked in the glow of ‘Victim of Changes’.   

The Punk part was filled by The Stranglers, Sex Pistols and UK Subs, this to celbrate my brand new Stranglers T-Shirt, this is a bucket list shirt and the story behind it is buried near the end of the show.  We went out heavy with Dark Tranquility and Parkway Drive.

We got heavy with Annihilator and spent some time discussing the guitarist Jeff Waters and marvelling at just how great and overlooked he is.  There was also new stuff from Rival Sons and Buck Cherry.  Both albums are to be released in April from what I have heard.  

The Jackson Colt interview was really cool, I loved talking to him and the new track 'Strangers' boasts an amazing solo, which is worth focusing on.  SA Rock is alive and well, we continued with another track from Second Chapter the new release from Jack Hammer Band, then Wonderboom with the uber classic 'Never Ever Ever Ever'.  From there we went deep on the lyrics with Arapaho and Wicked Wonder.

 This week's Immortals track was 'Machine Gun' recorded Live at the Filmore East.  According to Classic Rock, it is Joe Satriani’s favorite Hendrix track, who are we to argue with Joe.  The Ultimate Challenge between Queen - Night At the Opera, Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti, Kiss - Alive! and Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run ended up with Led Zeppelin getting a few more votes than the others.  The 20th century me would have taken Kiss but the 21st century me picked Born To Run.  The highlight of the show was taking a listen to the brand new Extreme track called 'Rise'.  A lot of people (Rick Beato, Phil X, Steve Lukather, James Daubeney:-)) are talking about Nuno Bettencourts' solo on this.  It is so good we played it twice.  The end of the show was nice and heavy playing out with The Agonist, Arch Enemy, Hell Yeah, and Malevolence.   

Artists featured:  Guns ‘n’ Roses, Great White, Deep Purple, Megadeth, Edguy, Free, Gov’t Mule, Danko Jones, Van Halen, Annihlator, Buckcherry, Billy Idol, Greta Van Fleet, Rival Sons, Bernie Tormé, Girish and the Chronicles, Tesla, Opink Floyd, ACDC, Jackson Colt, Jack Hammer Band, Wonderboom, Arapaho, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, KISS, Queen, Bruce Springsteen, Extreme, Joe Bonamassa, The Agonist, Arch Enemy, Hell Yeah, Kid Rock, Malevolence

Lee and the late Ray Gillan got us out the blocks with a track called ‘Devil’s Stomp’.  From there we had some more devils courtesy of Chickenfoot and a track called ‘Different Devil’ off Chickenfoot III.  It was pretty much full-bore rock and roll for the first hour with bands like Godsmack, Stone Sour, and Marilyn Manson.  In particular, Stone Sour with ‘Do Me a Favour’ and Godsmack off their brand new album Lighting Up The Sky and a track called “Red White and Blue made a good pairing.   

By request from Ash a brand new listener we had Shinedown with Breaking Inside’ and then Rival Sons with ‘Burn Down Los Angeles’.  From there is went a bit off the rails and served as a reminder that TSORR is not for young children as demonstrated by, Buckcherry’s ‘Somebody F*****d With Me’, and Metallica’s cover of The Anti Nowhere League's infamous  'So What’.  Then we went back to TSORR roots with ‘Samurai’ off Assault Attack from The Michael Schenker Group and then a track from Scorpions which made it a Schenker family affair.  Pretty much the only time you can get the Schenker bros together is if you play their songs back-to-back.  Sad ☹. 

For this week’s Ultimate Challenge, we looked at 1987:  the four albums featured were from Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, Guns ‘n Roses, and Whitesnake.  We had a great 4-minute interview with Ryno Theron, vocalist and guitarist from Truth Decayed, and followed this by we playing their brand-new track ‘Death By Design’.  It was a hell of a busy show;  we played more SA music with a brand-new track from Jack Hammer Band who are flying the flag for our beloved Piet Botha, then Blue Scream featuring my good friend Roger Kaye on vocals along with Robin Gallagher and Tully McCully.  This week's Immortals was 13 min long, check it out, ‘Rime of the Ancient Mariner’ off Powerslave sounded amazing.  Iron Maiden are something else.  I recall hearing Phil Wright play the whole track back in 1984 when the album was released.  We wrapped up with Jethro Tull’s Aqualung and Volbeat’s ‘Shotgun Blues’, especially for Ian and Hardus, and said cheers with Bloodstone by the mighty Judas Priest.

This week's elevator speech came from a quick chat I had with Chris Kennedy of Punkfontein and he told us about the new track being released called ‘The Leviathan’, we played it, and it's fully cool.  We stayed in that zone with Blink 182 and The Killers with a track off Sam’s Town called This River Is Wild.  I vote The Killers the band most in need of a slap round the head.  Such a good album and then nothing.  From there it was back to ‘80s metal courtesy of W.A.S.P. and a track called ‘The Rock Rolls On’.   

This week's Immortals was a track by James Reyne featuring a wailing emotionally charged solo by Jef Scott and especially dedicated to my mate Fanie Marais who loved this album and would have been 72 this week. RIP buddy.  From there we heard a brand new track from Bily Squier who, as far as I know, hasn’t released anything for 25 years.  The track is called ‘Harder On A Woman’ and it sounds just like you would expect, well done Billy, welcome back.  The Ultimate Challenge this week looked at 4 albums from 2005.  Avenged Sevenfold – City of Evil, Foo Fighter – In Your Honor, System of a Down – Violent Pornography, and Audioslave - Out of Exile.  Once again there was no clear winner and everyone changed their minds at least once.  The brand new track by Deadline called 'My Sweet apocalypse' is really good, over 7 min long it is one of the best tracks these SA metal giants have released.  We ended with Iron Maiden and The Halo Effect with tracks called 'Tears of a Clown' and 'Gateways'.  

Artists Featured: Motörhead, Led Zeppelin, Michael Monroe, Hell Fire, Def Leppard, Black Sabbath, Queens of the Stone Age, The Distillers, Ramones, Metallica, Crossbone Skully, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Ugly Kid Joe, Airbourne, Punkfontein (Feat Meel Vignetting), Blink 182, The Killers, W.A.S.P., Sebastian Bach, Sophie Lloyd (Feat Matthew K.

We broke radio rules and played Nickelback with no problem at all, I love Nickelback, I think Chad Kroeger is a phenomenal songwriter and has a golden voice.  I think the hate is coming from people piling on because others don’t like them.  Be your own person and admit that there is nothing wrong with Nickelback 😊.  We had a bit of metal with some Mastodon and some Megadeth, and then we checked out In This Moment doing a cover of Debbie Harry’s classic ‘Call Me’.   Yes I know Blondie is a band, nice try guys.

TSORR is working with Devographic and getting all the brand-new SA releases as they come out, or in our case about 12 hours before.  I don’t like to lose music time on interviews but I am enjoying these short sort of elevator speech interviews, I think they add value in terms of bringing the artist to you.  I spoke to Sheldon Horvatic the guy behind Oceans of Angels who explains his new track called ‘Carnival’ off his brand new EP titled The Gift.  Later on, when the music got a bit heavier we chatted to Jessy Switchblade, the frontman from SA Metal giants Deadline.  The new track 'Monuments' is awesome and shows that old-school metal is alive and well.   

Mid-show we picked up the pace with Danko Jones and Airbourne with ‘Suicide Woman’ and ‘Ready to Rock’ respectively.  I discovered a Mark Haze album I did not know had been released, the album is called Signs of Life and we checked out 'Step Off'.  Mark is one of the best vocalists in the world let alone SA.  This week's Immortal track was ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’, The Stones nailed it, big chill all the way. 

This week on the Ultimate Challenge we looked at 1991.  I didn’t spread it out as I did last week.  I played tracks off the four albums one after the other.  It depends on what was going on in your life but for me, 1991 was very special.  We checked out Skid Row with ‘Monkey Business’, Ozzy Osbourne with ‘Hellraiser’, Metallica with ‘Enter Sandman’, and Guns ‘n’ Roses with ‘You Could Be Mine’.  And the winner was………. Music, no one could decide they are all awesome.   The rules say you have to choose, it's gun to the head stuff so then it would be G 'N' R.  The new In Flames and Winery Dogs sound great, we took a listen.  the ending was very chilled, this is because i had a bit of a personal reflection and it marks a very specific point in time, I left it to Bob Dyland and Leonard Cohen to explain.  Thanks for listening.

Manic Street Preachers and a new-ish band I am not too familiar with called St. Aurora changed the pace a bit and then we started to delve into this week's Ultimate Challenge, 4 albums released in 1980 and you can only choose one.  The albums selected were Judas Priest - British Steel, Black Sabbath - Heaven & Hell, Motörhead -  Ace of Spades, and ACDC - Back in Black.  the votes came in but in the end, it was one-way traffic with the winner of this week's Ultimate Challenge going to Back In Black. 

The Immortal track was Gun ‘n’ Roses with Estranged and we kept our punk confined to the USA with Iggy Pop, The Distillers, and Weezer.  I had some problems with Brody Dalle squashed in the middle.  This week I discovered Doomsday Outlaw, this track called ' Is This The End of Everything' features the kind of guitar tone and phrasing that I absolutely love.  Talking guitar, a track off the new Winery Dogs with Richie Kotzen, Bily Sheehan, and Mike Portnoy hit the stop.  Girish and the Chronicles are just simply blazing, what a band.  We ended heavy with Ablaze My Sorrow off their new EP, and Phantom Days by Dark Tranquility.  Oh, one last thing TSORR made No 12 on the list of top 35 Rock Podcasts on the planet, check it out right here:

During the show, Tim sent me the list of 2023 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominations and coincidently four of them were in the 'possible track' playlist.  So with that, I had to play Iron Maiden, Sound Garden, Sheryl Crow, and Warren Zevon.  Good luck to all of them.   Billy Idol has a very cool thing going, he has released an EP every year since 2021, I assume it is on purpose, and we will get another one in 2023.  It keeps things fresh and as long as Steve Stevens is with him I will buy every single one.  Suicidal Tendencies raised the tempo by a factor of about ten with a delightful track called ‘Disco’s Out, Murders In'.  We had a bit of fun trying to figure out which of these four albums released in 1984 you would choose if you could only choose two.  We had Van Halen, - 1984, Iron Maiden - Powerslave, Metallica - Ride The Lightening and, Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith.  There was no clear favorite which was to be expected given the quality of those albums, and that was the point. For my money, it was Metallica and the mighty Judas Priest, but tomorrow it might be different.  Next week we will look at 1980. We took a listen to 'The Sentinel' and 'Creeping Death'. 

South African music was well represented by Future Radio, comprising Johnny Future and Drikus Roets, two very talented artist/musicians.  We heard a track called 'DOI' off their Freedom album, then we had Johnathan Martin with 'Don't Want To Know' and finally SA Rock and Bluesman Kenny Hughes who spoke to me this week and told me a bit about the new track 'Midnight Man'.  We listened to what he said about it and then took a listen to it.  It is a great track and people liked it a lot.  The plan is to do more of these short 5 min interviews and to give the artist a chance to tell you about their music.   

The UK Punk slot was ably filled by The Stranglers, UK Subs, and Sham 69 and then it was time for our weekly Immortals, i.e. tracks over 7 min long that will live forever.  This week it was The Fall of the Peacemakers by Molly Hatchet.  For my money the highlights of this show were Indian rockers Girish & the Chronicles, their new album Back on Earth is simply stunning, its got everything you would expect from a top-flight '80s style metal band.  The brand new Iggy Pop is out and we played ‘Morning Show’ which is wonderful.  I advised you to listen to it a couple of times.  It is a serious grower.   There is plenty more to get into, this episode was a cracker.  Cheers and thanks for listening.

Lzzy Hale is the real deal.  The Tesla track was ‘Gettin’ Better’ off the RePlugged Live album which is amazing.  Tesla fans check it out.   

Black Star Riders (without Scott Gorham) released a new album last week called Wrong Side of Paradise, we listened to the title track.  It’s one of those that fall into the ‘Songs that could be about South Africa’ category.  Talking of that we also had ‘Losing More Than You Ever Had’ (Accept) and ‘Stand & Deliver (Airbourne) as further examples.   Def Leppard’s colossal breakthrough album Pyromania turned 40 this week and KISS main man Paul Stanley turned 70.  We celebrated with Rock, Rock (Till You Drop), and Love Gun’ respectively. 

'Peace is Free’ from Black stone Cherry calmed things down a bit, and we stayed calm with ‘Soul’ from 12th Avenue and wished Mark Haze, vocalist extraordinaire who formed 12th Avenue,  a speedy recovery from the back-op he had this week.  Linkin Park with ‘One Step Closer’ sounded great and then we got to Megadeth with 'Life in Hell' off their latest album and a brand new track from Metallica called ‘Screaming Suicide’.  TSORR predicts that 2023 will be Metallica's year.  They seem to have hit a sweet spot and are feeling the love and appreciation of the people of Planet Earth.  The South African stuff was, as we say in these parts, 'poes heavy'.  Kill Frenzy out of Cape Town and Diverted Disorder from the Vaal gave us our weekly dose of Linda take a walk music.  Check out both bands if you dig the heavier stuff.

This week's Immortal track came from Led Zep with 'Since I've Been Loving You' off Led Zeppelin III.  We had UK Punk courtesy of Sex Pistols, The Stranglers, and Stiff Little Fingers which led us to U2 with 'I Will Follow'.  Prepare to hear a lot of U2, I am busy with Bono’s book Surrender, it is a great read.  Even if you are not a fan it is so rich with descriptions of the times, places, and characters of the times that it is well worth delving into.  the Audible version brings it all to life.  We ended with Slayer and another song that could be about South Africa called 'Seasons In the Abyss'.

When we did get going we started with Aerosmith and 'Young Lust' of the hugely successful Pump album. From there we had Ratt and then Sixx A.M., with 'Lies of the Beautiful People’.  There were two tracks with a Metallica theme running through, W.A.S.P. with 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' and then Volbeat with an excellent cover of ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ to keep the show Rambling On.  Speaking of which I used Led Zepellin with ‘Ramble On’ and Judas Priest with ‘Better By You Better Than Me’ to talk a bit about the development of modern Metal. 

On the local scene, we checked out more of Infanteria’s phenomenal album Patriarch and a track called ‘Repent Through the Orders You Seek’.  It was a pleasure to play the brand new track by South African Metal heavyweights Deadline.  The track is called 'Cult of Prometheus, it has just been released, Dave Devo Oosthuizen who works tirelessly to promote SA music, sent it to me and it is a pleasure to give it some airtime.  We had classics from ACDC, and Motörhead, plenty from the ladies, Laura Cox, Samantha Fish, Doll Skin, and L7.  This weeks Songs that may be about South Africa included 'The Ditch' (Dave Hause), 'Don’t Lie To Me' (Dokken), High 'n' Dry (Def Leppard), 'Sucker Born' (Samantha Fish) and 'Take Back Your Life' from Disturbed.   

This week The Immortals, i.e. classic metal tracks that are over 7 min long and will last forever, came courtesy of Deep Purple with ‘Child in Time’.  Following on was hard and I delegated the job to Tool and their amazing track about two additional chromones ‘Forty-Six and 2'.  A highlight of the show was a track sent to me called ‘Goodbye To The World and The Whole Damn Thing’ by a band called deadfilmstar.  I really enjoyed it, it has such an evil feel to it.  It is Mansonesque but very fresh, check it out.   

Wrapping up we had UK Punky stuff from The Police, the Jam, and then for good measure, we had Böhse Onkels and a track called 'Saufen ist wie Weinen' which means drinking is like crying.  It is the best Böhse Onkels track I have ever heard, love that little bluesy intro.  The new Bush album The Art of Survival gave us a track called ‘More Than Machines’.  Metalheads can go to the last 10 minutes of the show for Obituary and In Flames, Nu Metal fans can go twenty minutes before the end and catch Birthday Boy Kid Rock and a track off Rock ‘n’ Roll Jesus and Limp Bizkit with the amazing Wes Borland on guitar doing a track called Rollin’, thanks as always for tuning in guys, much appreciated, Adios Amoeba’s catch you next week.    

Artists featured:  Aerosmith, Ratt, Sixx AM, Thin Lizzy, Y&T, The Quireboys, Def Leppard, W.A.S.P., Volbeat, Sword, Infanteria, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, Drowning Pool, Disturbed, Laura Cox, Samantha Fish, Doll Skin, L7, Dave Hause, Slash (feat Chris Cornell), Motörhead, ACDC, Dokken, Manowar, Deadfilmstar, Deadline, Deep Purple, Tool, The Dead Daisies, The Police, The Jam, Böhse Onkels, Bush, Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit, Obituary, In Flames, David Lee Roth

]]> Episode 3 of Season 6 launched promptly at 19h00 on Rebel Rock Radio and then crashed back to earth like a failed rocket launch.  It was restarted and got back on the air at 19h17.  The joys of internet radio.  This was the first episode going out on fibre.  While podcast people have not been affected, listeners to the live show have had a really rough ride of late thanks to load shedding in South Africa.  Since late 2022 it has either been my cell towers collapsing (Telcom) or if mine are up then the guys trying to listen have no power.  It is, as they say, a shit show.   

When we did get going we started with Aerosmith and 'Young Lust' of the hugely successful Pump album. From there we had Ratt and then Sixx A.M., with 'Lies of the Beautiful People’.  There were two tracks with a Metallica theme running through, W.A.S.P. with 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' and then Volbeat with an excellent cover of ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ to keep the show Rambling On.  Speaking of which I used Led Zepellin with ‘Ramble On’ and Judas Priest with ‘Better By You Better Than Me’ to talk a bit about the development of modern Metal. 

On the local scene, we checked out more of Infanteria’s phenomenal album Patriarch and a track called ‘Repent Through the Orders You Seek’.  It was a pleasure to play the brand new track by South African Metal heavyweights Deadline.  The track is called 'Cult of Prometheus, it has just been released, Dave Devo Oosthuizen who works tirelessly to promote SA music, sent it to me and it is a pleasure to give it some airtime.  We had classics from ACDC, and Motörhead, plenty from the ladies, Laura Cox, Samantha Fish, Doll Skin, and L7.  This weeks Songs that may be about South Africa included 'The Ditch' (Dave Hause), 'Don’t Lie To Me' (Dokken), High 'n' Dry (Def Leppard), 'Sucker Born' (Samantha Fish) and 'Take Back Your Life' from Disturbed.   

This week The Immortals, i.e. classic metal tracks that are over 7 min long and will last forever, came courtesy of Deep Purple with ‘Child in Time’.  Following on was hard and I delegated the job to Tool and their amazing track about two additional chromones ‘Forty-Six and 2'.  A highlight of the show was a track sent to me called ‘Goodbye To The World and The Whole Damn Thing’ by a band called deadfilmstar.  I really enjoyed it, it has such an evil feel to it.  It is Mansonesque but very fresh, check it out.

Sadly, we heard about the passing of Jeff Beck this morning.  He died suddenly after contracting bacterial meningitis.  We took a listen to a track he did with Ozzy Osbourne on the latest Ozzy album (A Top 10 TSORR album for 2022), called ‘A Thousand Shades’.  I interspersed quite a bit of Jeff’s work throughout the show.  TSORR is all about guitar driven music and Jeff Beck was one of the finest exponents of that.  RIP Jeff.  On a happier note, fellow Yardbird Jimmy Page is doing just fine and turned 79 this week.  To celebrate I allowed ‘Whole Lotta Love’ to make its TSORR debut.  It was a bit like Judas Priest getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, everyone knows they should have been there but for some reason it took a long time.  Iron Maiden and Burning Witches out of Switzerland followed on .

Celebrating out the anniversary of the launch of a track that changed everything in 1991 was a highlight of the show. I am talking about Nirvana’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’, released this week 32 years ago.  Don’t you just feel ancient now? 😊.  We followed it with another classic from 1991 in the form of ‘ Bullet In The Head’ from Rage Against the Machine.  Poison and Bon Jovi represented the ‘80s and then we took in another track in the new series I am calling ‘Songs that could be written about South Africa’, Tom Petty with ‘Straight Into Darkness’.  From there it was goosebump time, Springsteen off his On Broadway album and a perfect version of 'My Hometown' originally on the Born In The USA album.  It's the lyrics and the way he tells the story that is just so visceral.

This show is probably as mellow as TSORR gets so we did some ACDC, Airbourne and Slayer to restore some balance before checking out this weeks track in the weekly Immortals section.  This is where we take an immortal rock song that is longer than 7 minutes and is as iconic as iconic can be.  David Bowie would have been 76 this week so it was fitting to feature 'The Width of a Circle' off The Man Who Sold The World as this weeks immortal track.  From there is was the downhill run, two more tracks to say cheers to Jeff Beck, ZZ Top's Rough Boy where Jeff takes a solo and a cover of 'Like A Rolling Stone' off the Chimes of Freedom compilation with Seal on vocals , it is absolutely superb.  We ended with some heavy stuff from Arch Enemy and Deangersmith off his brilliant Lead Me to Your Taker (Disable The Corrupt) album and a powerful swipe at the massive overreach we experienced during the pandemic.  

Artists featured:  Aaron Keylock, Pat Travers, Metallica, Rainbow, The Cult, Michael Monroe, Ozzy Osbourne, Danko Jones, Ignite, Therapy, Led Zeppelin, Burning Witches, Iron Maiden, Coheed & Cambria, Nirvana, Rage Against The Machine, Poison, Bon Jovi, The Temperance Movement, Sons of Liberty, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Bruce Springsteen, ACDC, Airbourne, Slayer, Porcupine Tree, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, ZZ Top, Jeff Beck & Seal, Deangersmith, Arch Enemy, Obituary, Laura Cox

We had a bit of US Punk with The Offspring and Anti-Flag and then went back into the late ‘80s for some White Lion and Bulletboys with 'Kid With a 1000 Faces' and 'Badlands' respectively.   Australia's finest gave us a track called ‘This Means War’ which reminded me of Blue Suede Shoes for some reason, I am talking about ACDC of course.  From there we went bluesy with Rory Gallagher and South Africa’s very own Dan Patlansky who has done so well with his latest release Shelter of Bones.  Next, back to Australia for some Electric Mary and a track called ‘One in a Million’, then we went to France for Laura Cox with a song called 'Australian Rock', it's confusing I know, all this Aussie stuff.  Laura Cox is really putting out some good stuff, check her out.  Metallica and Hellyeah made things heavy again and then we took some time out to listen to an absolute ‘70s Rock Classic in the form of ‘Can’t You hear Me Knocking’ off Sticky Fingers.  This masterpiece from The Rolling Stones marks the start of the plan to play more ‘70’s over 7 min classics in Season 6.   

We hit the last hour with some UK Punk, ‘Mary of the Fourth Form’ from The Boomtown Rats and ‘Duchess’ from the Stranglers.  We had Thunder off their latest release Dopamine and then a track from Sakis Tolis off the Among the Fires of Hell album, we stayed heavy with Soilwork and a track called ‘Harvest Spine’.  There was a lot from the ladies on this show, we heard a  band called Love Bites out of Japan, The Donnas, and something newish from Brody Dalle and her band The Distillers.  It comes from an album called Live In Lockdown.  We went out blazing with Obituary and the title track off the forthcoming ‘Dying of Everything’.

We kicked off with Halestorm and the title track of their release Back From The Dead.  From there we had Motor Sister and a track called 'Can’t Get Enough'.  From there we listened to ‘Take What You Want’ off Diamond Star Halos, the latest offering from Def Leppard.  We went to Germany and took a listen to Rammstein and to Sinner.  Desolation Angels out of the UK (with South African bassist Clive Pearson who used to be in a SA Metal band called Lynx back in the ‘80s) gave us a track called 'Walking On Water' off Burning Black.  We also heard from Tony Martin ex Black Sabbath and Joe Lynn Turner ex Rainbow.  Both these guys both put out strong albums in the form of Thorns and Belly of the Beast respectively.   

Five Finger Death Punch and Disturbed both made the cut and sounded awesome.  It was time for a bit of Metal from Soulfly and a track called 'Ancestors'.  We also heard 'Black Butterfly' from Candlemass.  After checking out some late ‘80’s early ‘90s style rock from the Dead Daisies, Skid Row, and Aussie youngsters Dead City Ruins we hit the blues with our very own Dan Patlansky whose Shelter of Bones was given the No 2 spot by Blues Rock Magazine.  The South African scene was also represented by L.A. Cobra, The Devil’s Party Band, Infanteria, and Diverted Disorder.    

Finally, we got to the top of the list and played out with Ozzy Osbourne, Parkway Drive, The Halo Effect, and Megadeth, and the best album of 2022 according to me went to Arch Enemy with Deceivers.  We had a few minutes left so we checked out with scenes from forthcoming attraction in 2023 in the form of Blink 182 and the single they dropped months ago called ‘Edging’.  I hope to see you all for 2023 and Season 6 of The Story of Rock and Roll. 

PS.  Notable mentions we just didn’t get to Keator, Slipknot, Soilwork, Ghost, and Machine Head, what a year for music.

This show gives an incredibly short reminiscence of some TSORR history and a bit of a run-through of the bands that form the foundations of The Story of Rock and Roll.   The idea was to celebrate the music and show appreciation for listeners who have supported the show for the last 5 years.  The celebration kicked off with The Boomtown Rats and the opening track off The Fine Art of Surfacing.  This album is part of the critical few albums that mark the start of my lifelong love of rock and roll. From there we moved to KISS and Judas Priest, two bands without which there wouldn’t be a TSORR.  The tracks ‘Strutter’ and ‘Metal Gods’ did the honours.  Next, we covered two very important SA bands, Radio Rats with ZX Dan and Rabbitt with ‘Working For The People.   

We checked out some of the key bands that form a big chunk of TSORR, Rainbow, Deep Purple, ACDC, and Ozzy Osbourne.  From there we covered some Punk because without a slight UK Punk detour this would not be TSORR.  We listened to The Strangler with Nice n’ Sleazy, Sex Pistols with ‘Submission’, and Stiff Litte Finger with ‘Alternative Ulster’ off Inflammable Material.  We went back to the Metal with Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Accept, W.A.S.P., and Metallica. 

From there we moved on to the Radio Show and the Mix FM days and how Leon Ekonomides offered me my own show in 2017.  I played the track Leon and I bonded over when he interviewed me about the book.  The track was ‘Gunfire’ by Blue Cheer.  We also celebrated the first-ever TSORR podcast (No 12, check it out if you haven’t heard it) by starting with Jack Hammer and Mr. Midnight.  It felt right to follow up with a track I played on the show when Piet Botha passed away in 2019 called Highway To The Sun by Johnathan Martin.  We also remembered some other losses that we marked in time on TSORR, Eddie Van Halen in 2020 and Charlie Watts in 2021.  With the signal so bad and so many people struggling with the signal the only way I could do this justice was to add another hour to the show.  What the hell you only turn 5 once.  The last hour was a tribute to some amazing people who have supported the show and just as we were reaching the high point the whole fucking thing ended abruptly with a systems crash that prevented me from saying thanks and goodnight.  Such is life, we will have another bash at getting this right next year

]]> Welcome to the second last show of Season 5, i.e. Episode 51.  It marks the 5th birthday of The Story of Rock and Roll Radio Show.  This episode went out live on 22 December 2022 on Rebel Rock Radio at 19h00 sharp.  Sadly the cell phone towers did not play ball and the signal was a serious killjoy.  The show however went out just perfectly on the podcast.  I used the opportunity to showcase some of the tracks that make TSORR what it is.  Some of these tracks are pretty deep and have backstories that are detailed in the book The Story of Rock and Roll.   

This show gives an incredibly short reminiscence of some TSORR history and a bit of a run-through of the bands that form the foundations of The Story of Rock and Roll.   The idea was to celebrate the music and show appreciation for listeners who have supported the show for the last 5 years.  The celebration kicked off with The Boomtown Rats and the opening track off The Fine Art of Surfacing.  This album is part of the critical few albums that mark the start of my lifelong love of rock and roll. From there we moved to KISS and Judas Priest, two bands without which there wouldn’t be a TSORR.  The tracks ‘Strutter’ and ‘Metal Gods’ did the honours.  Next, we covered two very important SA bands, Radio Rats with ZX Dan and Rabbitt with ‘Working For The People.

Respectively.   

From there we checked out the ladies, Laura Cox out of France is new to me, what an awesome guitarist, we listened to Freaking Out Loud off her Burning Bright album.  Big thanks to Norman for that one, I had totally missed Laura.  We also checked out another track off the new Halestorm album, Back From The Dead.  Buckcherry, no strangers to TSORR hit us with Fallout and Sixx A.M. with ‘Stars’.  Metallica got us back into the heavy side of things and we stayed there with ‘Spreading the Disease’ from Queensryche and some Accepts and some Candlemass.  It all went down very well.   

South Africa is blessed with two of the greatest blues guitarists around, Dan Patlansky who has just been awarded the second-best album of 2022 by Blues Rock Magazine for his Shelter of Bones, (this is a huge achievement guys,  Dan beat out blues giants Walter Trout, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and Edgar Winter)  and Richard Pryor in his band Pebbleman.  We took a listen to 'Devil’s Dopamine' and a track called ‘Edge of Nails’ from Richard’s Pebbleman project.  Pink Floyd’s ‘Young Lust’ gave another classic track and then we hit the punky part of the show with The Boomtown Rats, The Clash, and a tribute to Jet Black, the drummer from The Stranglers, RIP Jet, thanks for the music.  I am sure that Jet and Dave Greenfield are having a pint right this very moment.    

Taking us into the home stretch we hit the rock with Motörhead’s classic ‘Stay Clean’, The Dead Daisies, and some serious thrash from Death Angel and a track called ‘Mistress of Pain’.  Then it was back to South Africa and three in a row from Cutting Jade, Arapaho, and Francois Van Coke.  We closed out with Alter Bridge and a track that sums it all up tonight titled 'Holiday'.  All the best to you all and to everyone who went on leave this week, enjoy it, Memento Mori!

Lee and Ivan Ivankovic.  Ivan on a track called 'World in Fear' and Jake with Badlands back in 1984.  Randy Rhoads would have turned 66 this week so we wished him happy birthday in heaven and then checked out his more than able replacement Zakk Wylde in his band Black Label Society and a track called Lovin’ Woman' off the Unblackened album.    

We checked out The Raven Age and a track called 'The Death March' and that fitted well with yet another track of the latest Queensrÿche album Digital Noise Alliance.  We had some Lynyrd Skynyrd with ‘Call me The Breeze’ and then another bit of classic rock in the form of 'Call On Me' from Bad Company.  Now if you are listening internationally then I am sorry I bang on about the state of South Africa as much as I do, it is a tragedy we are living through, a government that has betrayed the electorate and stolen all the money by looting and collapsing all the State-owned enterprises.  We are on the cusp of a complete blackout with load shedding around 8 hours a day.  It was therefore politically correct to bitch about it and play The Damned’s ‘Wait For The Blackout, followed by Sex Pistols and 'EMI'.  If you substitute ANC for EMI you get the picture.  From there it was time for some upliftment and that came in the form of Van Halen with 'Dreams', The Gaslight anthem with 'Stay Lucky', and Sixx A.M. with ‘High On The Music’.  We will get through this and the music helps.   

The downhill run included some grungy stuff from Audioslave, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains.  It was post-Layne Staley Alice in Chains I might add, William Duvall is doing a great job in AIC.  Next up, classics from ACDC and Black Sabbath, and then some Halestorm with a cover of Sophie B. Hawkins’s 'Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover'.  We took a listen to a lot of brilliant stuff that is new to me, St Aurora out of Finland, Girish and the Chronicles out of India, and Risingfall out of Japan.  Thanks to the wifi situation with a lot of the cell towers in the country rendered useless because the batteries have been stolen, I lost a lot of listeners, apologies to all who were frustrated with the signal dropping.  The end of the show turned into a beautiful Metal Festival featuring, Sword, Motörhead, Pantera, Bewitcher, and Arch Enemy.  We ended off with Claymorean, a metal band out of Lazarevac, a small mining town in Serbia. Claymorean are one of the best bands I have discovered this year.  I hope you enjoyed the episode, comments are welcome, watch out for the monthly newsletter and let me know if you want to be on the mailing list.  Thestoryofrockandroll1@gmail.com

Lee, Ray Gillen, Eric Singer and Greg Chaisson was the first CD I ever bought and has a special place in my heart.  

Black Sabbath and Thin Lizzy classics ‘Killing Yourself to Live’ and 'Some Day She’s Going to Hit Back’ were up next and then from these classics we got up to date with two albums released in the last month; Soilworks' Overgivenheten and Sakis Tolis’s Among the Fires of Hell.  Mötley Crüe’s track ‘Motherfucker of the Year' off Saints of Los Angeles elicited some nominations from the listeners, so I will collect a few more and we can discuss that another time.  The Offspring and Blink 182 hit the spot for the ‘90’s kids.   

We spent a lot of time talking Metallica, they dropped the first track off the new album 72 Seasons this week and the 2023/24 Tour is kicking off soon.  They are doing two gigs per city with different opening acts and different sets each night.  I played Pantera, Five Finger Death Punch and Mammoth WVH all of who will be part of the M72 Tour.  To end off we checked out the ladies, Taylor Momsen and Lzzy Hale, and said farewell and RIP to Christine Mc Vie of Fleetwood Mac who passed away this week.  We listened to her play and sing ‘Oh Daddy’ off the multi-million-selling Rumours album.  SA bands were a bit thin on the ground tonight but we squoze in The Uninvited and The Burning before saying cheers and playing out with KISS and their anthem ‘ Let me Go Rock ‘n’ Roll.  Thanks for listening, much appreciated.  Cheers until next time.

We changed pace with Black Spiders and a track called ‘KISS tried to kill Me’ off their critically acclaimed (by me) album Sons of the North.  The new Soilwork is a really good album and we listened to ‘Death, I Hear You Calling’.  You may be aware I am a huge fan of Matthew Good Bands' early work so we took a listen to ‘Carmelina’ off the Audio of Being album.  Brian Fallon’s ‘My Name Is the Night’ kept things tidy and then we floored it with In Flames and Parkway Drive.   

From there we moved to an all-time South African classic by No Friends of Harry, you guessed it the one and only ‘Competition Rules'.  Wilko Johnson passed away yesterday, as a RIP we played 'Going Back Home' the title track of the album he did with Roger Daltrey back in 2014.  Wilko was a founder member of Dr. Feelgood with vocalist Lee Brilleaux.  Dr. Feelgood were often cited as a big influence by the UK Punk era bands such as The Jam and The Clash, so we checked out both with ‘Art School’ and ‘Drug-Stabbing Time’.  Then it was back to the stuff like The White Stripes and The Bottle Rockets.  The Bottle Rockets track 'Radar Gun' sent me off on a little tirade about the police in South Africa.  We went back to South Africa for a brand new track from the uber-talented Mark Haze and then we checked out some more Diverted Disorder.  The boys from the Vaal are doing good things, the album launch is this weekend.  From Diverted Disorder we heard The Cars, I shit you not, The Cars on TSORR!.  Why?  because it’s a great song, and that is why.  I totally ran out of time, we squeezed in (or is it squoze :-))? Boston, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, and a brand new track from Disturbed.   We finished off with an eight min plus live epic from Black Label Society called 'Stillborn'.  Thanks for listening, comments welcome, catch TSORR on the website or Facebook page.

]]> Episode 47 of season 5 aired at 19h00 on 254 Nov 2022 on Rebel Rock Radio.  I was worried the wifi wouldn’t hold up with the load-shedding, but we made it.  The show kicked off with an old TSORR favourite called 'Tres Borrachos' by Left Lane Cruiser.  From there we took a listen to the perennial rock classic that is ‘Hair of the Dog.  Nevada Beach were up next with a track called ‘Hollywood.  Hank Decken is the main man in Nevada Beach, on guitar and vocals.  We will be taking a closer look at Hank in weeks to come because there are a lot of unsung heroes in the rock ‘n’ roll business and I reckon Hank may be one of them.  We checked out two blues giants, Rory Gallagher and Philip Sayce, but listened to less bluesy tracks for a change.  Philip may have been a bit mellow for the early stages of the show so we ramped up a gear with Black Spiders and ‘KISS  Tried to Kill Me’.  Going back to Philip Sayce for a second, make sure you check out the solo at the end, it proves my theory that the songs are just vehicles for solos like this.   

We changed pace with Black Spiders and a track called ‘KISS tried to kill Me’ off their critically acclaimed (by me) album Sons of the North.  The new Soilwork is a really good album and we listened to ‘Death, I Hear You Calling’.  You may be aware I am a huge fan of Matthew Good Bands' early work so we took a listen to ‘Carmelina’ off the Audio of Being album.  Brian Fallon’s ‘My Name Is the Night’ kept things tidy and then we floored it with In Flames and Parkway Drive.   

From there we moved to an all-time South African classic by No Friends of Harry, you guessed it the one and only ‘Competition Rules'.  Wilko Johnson passed away yesterday, as a RIP we played 'Going Back Home' the title track of the album he did with Roger Daltrey back in 2014.  Wilko was a founder member of Dr. Feelgood with vocalist Lee Brilleaux.  Dr. Feelgood were often cited as a big influence by the UK Punk era bands such as The Jam and The Clash, so we checked out both with ‘Art School’ and ‘Drug-Stabbing Time’.  Then it was back to the stuff like The White Stripes and The Bottle Rockets.  The Bottle Rockets track 'Radar Gun' sent me off on a little tirade about the police in South Africa.  We went back to South Africa for a brand new track from the uber-talented Mark Haze and then we checked out some more Diverted Disorder.  The boys from the Vaal are doing good things, the album launch is this weekend.  From Diverted Disorder we heard The Cars, I shit you not, The Cars on TSORR!.  Why?  because it’s a great song, and that is why.  I totally ran out of time, we squeezed in (or is it squoze :-))? Boston, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, and a brand new track from Disturbed.   We finished off with an eight min plus live epic from Black Label Society called 'Stillborn'.  Thanks for listening, comments welcome, catch TSORR on the website or Facebook page.

We checked out some Texas Hippie Coalition and a track called ‘Pissed Off and Mad About It’ and that morphed into a bit of Chickenfoot. Joe Satriani showed once again just how brilliant he is when he is in a kick-ass band.   Def Leppard went down well with a track called 'All We Need' off their latest album Diamond Star Halos. It went a bit soft with Courtney Love and Hole not shouting and smashing things so I fixed that with Zakk Wylde, Buckcherry, Overkill, and Parkway Drive.  For a change, we played a track by Ghost called ‘Twenties’ and then had three in a row while I had to take care of some work stuff, the joys of running a factory on night shift ☹.  The three were from Motörhead, The Dead Daisies, and Sons of Liberty, out of Bristol in the UK nogal.   

We checked out the new Rebel Rock Jingle kindly recorded by Prawn of Diverted Disorder and then we took a listen to 'Destroyed by Fate' (Feat Jared Gunston) by Diverted Disorder.  The Color Blew with Liaan Horton on vocals and Timothy James on guitar kept the SA music flag high with a track called 'O.D'.  From there it was four serious rock tracks from Devils Train, Badlands, Iron Allies, and Skid Row.  The new Skid Row, The Gang’s All Here is so good, its heading for a top ten finish for TSORR best albums of 2022.  Last week we missed the Punk section so I fixed it this week with Stiff Little Fingers and The Clash and then we played ‘Ain’t It Fun’, the classic written by the guys in Rocket From The Tomb but who went off to record it in The Dead Boys and then later the definitive version done by G’n’R, this version is live and right on the edge, if you don’t get it, it's not for you as Billy Connelly once said.  It was fitting to go to Neil Young with 'Powderfinger' and then Johnathan Martins's amazing cover of Neil's ‘Cortez the Killer’.  The wheels came off at the end where I lost the plot and had a mirth attack about Sakis Tolis and we finished loud with My  Chemical Romance and Slipknot.    

Artists featured:  Bob Dylan, ACDC, Black Spiders, Catelano, Ratt, Texas Hippie Coalition, Chickenfoot, Def Leppard, Hole, Leslie West Tribute (feat Zakk Wylde), Buckcherry, Overkill, Parkway Drive, Ghost, Thunder, Motörhead, The Dead Daisies, Sons of Liberty, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Live, Diverted Disorder, The Color Blew, Devil’s Train, Badlands, Iron Allies, Skid Row, Stiff Little Fingers, The Clash, Rocket From the Tombs, Dave Hause, Warren Zevon, Johnathan Martin, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Sakis Tolis, My Chemical Romance, Slipknot.

From the Blues, we checked out Iron Maiden and another track off Power Slave called ‘Back In the Village’.  Herman Frank, ex of Accept got a look-in with a track off his latest album Two For a Lie.  We stayed in Germany for some Rammstein and a bit later 'Blackout' from Scorpions, another song written about Eskom.  A highlight of the show was the back-to-back pairing of Tony Martin and Joe Lynn Turner, two vocalists who have played in the best bands in the world and have both released solo alums in the last 12 months.  Joe Lynn Turner has Peter Tägtgren producing and doing the guitar work and it is one hell of a combination.  We had some more Nu Metal courtesy of Limp Bizkit and then used Courtney Love’s band Hole,  with a track called 'Rock Star' to lead us into a quick farewell and RIP to Nazareth’s Dan McCafferty who passed away this week.  As explained on the show Nazareth are a very special band to those of us growing up in the '70s and '80s and we thanked Dan for writing and performing some awesome classic songs.   

We took in 'When Your Love is Gone' by Assie legend Jimmy Barnes and then spent nearly nine minutes on the Thin Lizzy classic ‘Still In Love With You’.  It came off the Live album called Life and features all the Thin Lizzy guitarists Eric Bell, Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson, Gary Moore, Snowy White, and John Sykes.  Texas Hippie Coalition moved the show out of the ballads and Night Ranger and Queensrÿche continued the excellent medicine and took it to the next level.  The new Queensrÿche, Digital Noise Alliance' is fantastic, check it out.  This show just had too much material and not enough time.  We tipped the hat to Judas Priest for their well-deserved and long overdue inclusion into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, we listened to another awesome Vivian Campbell solo and heard how powerful Andrew Freeman is on a track called ‘Year of The Gun’ and we squeezed in an amazingly emotional track from My Chemical Romance called 'The World is Ugly'.  The consensus on the chat was that MCR are correct on this point.  Cheers all, see you next week, I hope you enjoy the episode.

We mixed in the legends with the newer artists by taking a track off Ozzy Osbourne’s new album Patient Number 9 and following Oz with Dead City Ruins and a track called “Drifter’.  We heard a track off Herman Franks' 2021 release Two For a Lie.  Texas Hippie Coalition went down well as did another track off the Phil X and the Drills EP called Stupid Good Looking, Vol 1.  There was a lot from Germany on the show, totally unplanned but along with Paradox we had Scorpions, Iron Allies, Herman Frank, on his own and in Iron Allies, and also Rammstein with their strange tune known as B*********.  

The SA music came from Jasper Dan, Ross Harding, and L.A. Cobra and then we took in the new Skid Row and a track off Feel It Live which is a live album recorded by The Stranglers in 2013 when they were on Tour promoting the Giants album, the first with Hugh Cornwells replacement Baz Warne in the band.  The end was nice and heavy with Eluveitie, Soilwork, and Lamb of God.  From Lamb of God we went to Neil Young in that typical extreme contrasting style that TSORR is known and loved for.  Thanks for listening, please share the podcast with anyone who may be interested and you can contact TSORR on the website or Facebook page.

Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown made a welcome return to TSORR with a track called 'Fuel' off their Pressure album.  Load shedding has hit internet radio hard causing one of TSORR's greatest supporters to be absent for a few weeks.  On this episode he was tuned in, so we caught up on a few of his besties, Space Lord by Monster Magnet, 'Dead Again' from Buckcherry and then some Marilyn Manson and Type O negative to round it out.  We stayed in the M’s and went heavy with Machine Head and a stunning track off the new Megadeth called ‘Mission To Mars’.   

There were a couple of birthdays to celebrate, Tom Petty would have been 72 last week, KK Downing is 71 today and SA guitar maestro Richard Pryor had a birthday yesterday.  We heard from all of them.  It was great to check out some vintage Iron Maiden in the form of ‘ Children of The Damned.  From there Diverted Disorder bought some heaviness to the proceedings.  Hailing from the Vaal, this 4-Piece are making waves with their awesome style of in their own words “Alternative, Rock, Blues blended with Trash, core, and Death Metal to create melodic perfection”.  We stayed in SA with Shadowclub and a track called 'Good Morning Killer'.  The aforementioned SA guitar maestro Richard Pryor's solo project Pebbleman got a look in with a track called ‘Searching’.  Halestorm, Thundermother, and an amazing bit of teamwork between Nita Strauss and Alissa White-Gluz gave the ladies some airtime.  The Nita and Alissa track is called ‘The Wolf You Feed’ and it is really cool, check it out.

Following on from last week's Crowded House track we had a listen to Tim Finn's big hit 'I Got You' when he was still with Split Enz.  The statute of limitations on God save the Queen is now over so we gave the Sex Pistols a chance and then checked out a brand new track from Blink 182, some Fall Out Boy, and a very moving track from My Chemical Romance called 'The Light Behind Your Eyes'.

Artists featured:  Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Thin Lizzy, Stone Sour, Audioslave, Kim Mitchell, Van Halen, Warrant, Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown, Monster Magnet, Buckcherry, Marilyn Manson, Type O Negative, Machine Head, Megadeth, Wonderboom, Pebbleman, Tom Petty &the Heartbreakers, John Mellencamp, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Halestorm, Thundermother, Nita Strauss & Alissa White-Gluz, Queensrÿche, Diverted Disorder, Shadowclub, Split Enz, Sex Pistols, Blink 182, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, U2, Foo Fighters, Overdrivers, Hinder, In Flames

Then we took a listen to a band that was new to me called Dead City Ruins and a track called 'Preacher'.  They’ve got four albums out and they hail from Australia.  The classic rock flag flew for a while while we heard from Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and ACDC before chilling to Audioslave with ‘Like a Stone’ and then ‘Rats’ from Pearl Jam.  'Like a Stone' hit a billion YouTube views this week so that was worth celebrating.  We also checked out KISS with the seldom-played 'Do You Love Me'.  This was off Kiss Alive IV and has Peter Criss on drums and Tommy Thayer on guitar, check out the interview I did with Tommy Thayer in the podcast list on 28 Nov 2019.   What a nice guy.    

The Johnny Kongos classic 'Tokoloshe Man', recorded back in 1971, sounded great and stands up well as did another South African classic from a band called Big Sky.  We got into the heavier stuff with Motorhead and UFO and from there it was guitar time and a track from White Lion called 'Fight To Survive' featuring the amazing Vito Bratta on guitar.  The story of Mike Slammer’s involvement with Warrant and Joey Allen, was briefly covered then we got into some metal courtesy of Claymorean and South Africa’s own Infanteria out of Cape Town and some more local music with Jasper Dan and Black Bone Nation.  

This week the Punk came from the USA in the form of Green Day with 'Welcome to Paradise' off 1991's Kerplunk.  We also heard a track, relevant to the whole world right now called "The Economy Is Suffering' by  Anti-Flag.  Dave Hause with his track 'Bearing Down' off Kick was a highlight for me and is pretty deep.  In This Moment showed us all how good a rave could be if Maria Brink was running the show and we went heavy again with Parkway Drive and Megadeth.  the show closed with Lamb of God and a track called 'Ditch' off their new album Omens.  I said that we would play out with Slipknot but then changed my mind and did the LOG instead.   

 Artists featured:  Accept, Cancer Bats, Dead City Ruins, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, ACDC, Black Label Society, Joe Bonamassa, Audioslave, Pearl Jam, Godsmack, KISS, Judas Priest, Johnny Kongos, Big Sky, Motörhead, Warrant, Anti-Flag, Green Day, Claymorean, Infanteria, Black Bone Nation, Jasper Dan, Crowded House, Dave Hause, In This Moment, Marilyn Manson, Parkway Drive, Megadeth, Tribute To Leslie West, Wonderboom, UK Subs, My Chemical Romance, Lamb of God

The next part of the show covered some classic ’70 and ’80s stuff from Golden Earring and Pat Benetar.  Instead of KISS we took a listen to a Gene Simmons track called ‘Living in Sin.  We changed pace with some Billy Talent (no he is not singing “I gave my life to Satan” :-), listen carefully) and Matthew Good Band out of Canada.  From there a good dose of Serbian Metal from Claymorean and then my current favourite thrash band out of San Franciso, Hell Fire, by now no strangers to this radio show.  Check out their new album Reckoning.

The Punk came courtesy of The Clash, Die Toten Hosen, and Rancid, Carnival in Rio (Punk Was) went down very, very well.  Pairing George Lynch and Jeff Beck back to back was a great idea, listen out for those solos on the Lynch Mob and Ozzy tracks.   

We hit the final straight with some great new SA stuff, another band out of the Devo Oosthuizen stable, this week a band called Forth Son South, and then we had Code 106 from their Alium EP.  From there some Springbok Nude Girls and classic Fokofpolisiekar.  A highlight of the show was a quick little tribute to the amazing Eddie Van Halen who passed away 2 years ago to the day.  You’ll always be special to me Eddie RIP and thank you for everything. 

The ending was also very cool, we went acoustic with Rush, off Rush in Rio, and a track called 'Resist' and then Live with ‘Overcome’, recorded live in Amsterdam at the Paradiso.  we then finished off with a bit of Neil Young and out with Megadeth off the new album The Sick, The Dying.......and The Dead.

We went back to the early ’70s circa 71/72 and listened to Mott The Hoople Cover the Lou Reed classic ‘Sweet Jane’, which led to Neil Young’s ‘Sugar Mountain’, sweet thing geddit?  A new track from Billy Idol off his new EP The Cage went down well, as did a new track off Ozzy Osbournes latest album Patient #9.  We listened to 'Immortal' featuring Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCreedy.  Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan in Mr Big reminded us just how well bass and lead can fit together.   

We took another new track off Five Finger Death Punch’s latest album AfterLife.  Germany got a look in with Die Toten Hosen and ‘Alles Wir Gut’.  We carried on with last week's discovery, a band called Sumerlands, and then went off in a classic rock direction with 'Riders On the Storm' specially dedicated to one of TSORR’s much-appreciated listeners ho lost a family member this week :-(. 

We had tracks from The Stranglers and The Jam, it's just punk by virtue of the time the bands were formed and their history but I consider them truly iconic rock bands.  The ladies were represented by Brody Dalle and her band The Distillers with ‘The Hunger’ and The Donna’s and a track called ‘Who Invited You’.  The South African stuff came from When Angels Came, Francois Van Coke, and Fire Horses.  After that, we checked out the debut album from My Chemical Romance and a track called 'Headfirst For Halos' which is really cool.  We finished heavy with In Flames, Arch Enemy and Slayer. 

Artists featured:  Jorn, Hell Fire, Sevendust, Tremonti, Last In Line, Mott The Hoople, Neil Young, Mr Big, Tygers of Pan Tang, Rush, Billy Idol, Black Spiders, Alice In Chains, Bush, Anvil Black Veil Brides, Die Toten Hosen, Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch, Sumerlands, Rob Zombie, The Doors, Live, The Stranglers, The Jam, Parkway Drive, Venom, The Donna’s, The Distillers, When Angels Came, Fire Horses, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, in Flames, Arch Enemy, Slayer

Next up Rainbow, off Rising and the opening track 'Tarot Woman'.  It was pretty much hard rock with bands like Tesla and The Four Horsemen all the way through until some Jethro Tull which made a nice change.  The track we heard was 'One Brown Mouse' off Heavy Horses.  From there we went bluesy with Samantha Fish and Frank Marino.  The requests for more led to Joe Bonamassa with 'Hanging on a Loser' off his latest album Time Clocks.   

We checked out a real biker, biker band in the form of Chrome Division and then went heavy with Sepultura and their cover of Motörhead’s ‘Orgasmatron’ with the amazing Derrick Green on vocals.  I did screw up a bit, I wasn't sure if Derrick was Brazilian, he isn't, he's American, born in Cleveland in 1971, six foot five weighing 110 kg.  That should fix the bungled and botched attempt on the record.  

The next bit of the show I really enjoyed. Two metal bands I had never heard of one called Sumerlands and another called Claymorean got some airtime.  They are playing what is known as classic metal.  Claymorean are out of Serbia and Sumerlands I am not sure.  We will be hearing more from these band in the future.  Tanks to Loudwire for thise two gems.  New stuff came from Ozzy Osbourne, Parkway Drive, and Desolation Angels.  We got our weekly dose of UK Punk courtesy of Stiff Little Fingers, The Clash, and The Jam.   

Because there is so much good metal out there right now we kept on going with a new track from In Flames called The Great Deceiver, this is a huge return to form in my view.  There was time to visit the ‘80s with Mõtley Crüe and ‘Girls, Girls, Girls' and then some Kiss off Lick It Up and ‘All Hell’s Breaking Loose.  Hole and The Pretty Reckless represented the ladies and then it was time once again for Rush.  I am currently Rush befok and there is no obvious sign of abatement.  It feels like we've had Rush for 7 weeks in a row now.    

The wheels came off a little bit at the end, some bottled-up anger and a tribute to the Rebels at Rebel Rock Radio who work hard doing what they love whether people listen to it or not.  So we went out heavy, heavy with Arch Enemy, Dirty Little Rabbits, and Eye of the Enemy.

We kicked off the show with 'The Longest Day' by Iron Maiden.  At over seven minutes it was a nice way to give everyone a chance to settle in.  From there we went to Mötley Crüe for a bit of ‘Power To The Music’, and that’s what TSORR is all about.  That track features John Corabi on vocals, John has just released his biography so I will let yo know how that is once I finish it.  From there we had something from Lita Ford off her album titled Living Like a Runaway.  Then it was back to the classics with my favorite band Judas Priest and a track called 'Desert Plains'.  From Priest, we went to a band out of Arizona called Icon with a track called 'World War'.  Hopefully, that won’t happen. 

We checked the title track off Surfing With The Alien, what a classic, the album cost $ 13 000 to make and sold a million copies.  I am sure Joe Satriani is still very happy about that.  And then an hour in everything went to shit.  We are getting load shedding in South Africa, three to four times every 24 hours and it is wreaking havoc with everything including Rebel Rock Radio and The Story of Rock and Roll Radio Show.  Forgive the rant I had, we are really struggling here.  Once comms were eventually restored,  I focused on good times music like Metal Church's 'Date With Poverty', Motor Sister with  'A Hole', Nine Inch Nails with 'The Wretched’ and Megadeth’s ‘Dogs of Chernobyl’.  All pretty much aimed at the government that has stolen all the money and destroyed all the infrastructure.    

There is so much good music out at the moment, the New Ozzy Osbourne was released last week and we took a listen to a track called 'One of Those Days' which features Eric Clapton.  I reckon Eric has come out tops here, of all the megastar guitarists featured on the album he just gets it perfect.  Another new album I have been playing a lot of is Burning Black by NWOBHM pioneers Desolation Angels featuring Clive Pearson on bass.  Clive was in local SA metal band Lynx back in the early '80s.  With 50 minutes to go, it was time to forget about the ANC abortion and let the music take over. Steel Panther with 'Gold Digging Whore' bought some levity to the show and seeing as we were down there Buckcherry with 'Ridin’' and Sound Garden with 'Big Dumb Sex' kept the show completely NSFW.   We needed to check out some SA music and paid our respects to Dennis East who passed away this week.  Dennis and Mike Pilot gave us Stingray and the wonderful ‘Better The Devil You Know’.   From there we had  ‘Baby Murdered Me' from Springbok Nude Girls featuring one of Theo Crous’s best solos ever, and there have been a few,  in my opinion.     We ended off with Parkway Drive and the title track off their new album released last week called 'Darker Still'.  Check out the second solo, it sounds great.  

Artists featured:  Iron Maiden, Mötley Crüe, Lita Ford, Judas Priest, Icon, Joe Satriani, Cirith Ungol, Humble Pie, Cream, Ozzy Osbourne, Scorpions, The Gaslight Anthem, Last In Line, Titus Andronicus, Trivium, Motor Sister, Nine Inch Nails, Metal Church, Hell Fire, Nazareth, Hole, Kid Rock, Megadeth, Cradle of Filth, Desolation Angels, Saxon, Steel Panther, ACDC, Buckcherry, Soundgarden, Stingray. Springbok Nude Girls, The Black Cat Bones, Blink 182, Fall Out Boy, Parkway Drive.

While we were on air the news came through that the Queen had died so that led to ZZ Top with 'Have You Heard'?  And Status Quo with 'Mystery Song' and then into Tom Petty with a track called ‘Flirting With Time’ which is what we are all doing.  Tom Morello’s cover of Bob Dylan’s ‘Blind Willie McTell went down really well, definitely a show highlight there.  We also checked out a band I discovered about 14 years ago and I don’t think I have played on TSORR, a band called Biomechanical.  The new stuff came from Alter Bridge and Ozzy Osbourne.  The next bit was great, it was all based around a couple of tracks from the Netflix documentary Trainwreck, Woodstock 99.  You need to see it, we took a listen to Limp Bizkit with 'Break Stuff’, Korn with ‘Blind’ and Kid Rock with ‘Batwitadaba’.  There was some good music at the turn of the century that’s for sure.   

From there we cracked a bit of UK Punk with Stiff Little Fingers covering The Specials classic  ‘Doesn’t Make it Alright', some Steve Jones off the Fire & Gasoline album and a cover of Bob Marley’s 'Redemption Song' courtesy of Joe Strummer.  We went heavy with the title track off the brand new Megadeth album called The Sick, The Dying, and the Dead and then brand new from Parkway Drive and a track called ‘The Greatest Fear’.  SA music from The Black Cat Bones and Asylum Kids took us to a lekker messy ending with Five Finger Death Punch, Arch Enemy, and the find of the year, a band called The Halo Effect,  We took a listen to the opening track 'Shadowminds'.  And that ladies and gentlemen was that for season 5 episode 36.  Please share the podcasts with anyone who may be interested.  Thanks for listening \m/

We spend a bit of time in the ‘Qs', not home affairs, the letter 'Q', with Q5 and Queensrÿche and 'Steel The Light' and ‘Jet City Woman respectively.  Seether made a welcome return with ‘Fake It' and Flatfoot 56 made their debut on TSORR.  The show moved into party mode with Rob Zombie and Living Dead Girl’ (who you can meet behind the counter at any Municipal Traffic Department near you).  Buckcherry and ‘Let’s Party’ off All Night Long, kept the throttle open.  We did the usual mix, slammed in some metal with Machine Head, ‘No Gods, No Masters’ and Killswitch Engage then into the UK punky stuff, The Boomtown Rats, The Jam, and Stiff Little Fingers.  The new stuff came from Five Finger Death Punch, The Halo effect, Slipknot, and Soulfly.   

We checked out Cape Town-based Infanteria who featured a few months ago with a nearly 8 min masterpiece called 'Swansong' off their 2022 release Patriarch.  Then another brand new album from UK-based NWOBHM stalwarts Desolation Angels who have South African metal merchant Clive Pearson with them on bass.  We didn't manage to play the new Parkway Drive because there just isn't enough time, that tells you something about the amount of good new metal being released at the moment, "didn't have time for Parkway Drive", jesus.     

We hit the local stuff with Jasper Dan and Black Bone Nation and then moved to a special level with ‘Warm Machine’ from Bush, you had to be there moving through the night at 3 am in Black Adder II to understand the power of that track.  Good times, really good times.  Anyway, the show had to die so we ended off with US punk from Green Day and then 'Helena' the classic track from MCR.   We went out heavy with The Halo Effect featuring Jesper  Strömblad ex In-Flames, Slipknot's new track 'The Chapeltown Rag', and Soulfly with 'Ancestors'.  Check it out, and spread the TSORR podcast far and wide please.

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.

We had new stuff from Hell Fire and a track called 'Tortuga Nights' off the new album called Reckoning.  Also new was a track called 'Yen' off the new Slipknot, which is being released one track at a time in the same way as Arch Enemy and Megadeth were.  Speaking of both of those we checked them out as well.  It was cool to toast the late great Taylor Hawkins and check out a track called ‘Rudy’ off his EP Kota.  It's got so many hooks it reminds me of Rabbitt.  We went mellow with Dire Straits and a track called 'Lions' off the Live at the BBC album and then we went heavy again with a track called ‘Exiled From Earth’ off the finally released album called 'Deceivers'.  Arch Enemy is my current favorite metal band, Michael Amott and Alissa White-Gluz are killing it.   

By the end of the show, we had gone from Del Amitri to Parkway Drive and Nickelback to Soulfly.  The UK Punk slot was great, and The Stranglers with Duchess really hit the spot.  The Rodneys were lining up, god forbid.  It was also great to hear Stiff Little Fingers with 'Nobody's' Hero and Simon McBride who is now in Deep Purple in place of Steve Morse made his TSORR debut with a rack called 'High Stakes'.  We finished up with Rage Against the Machines cover of Devo’s track ‘Beautiful World, Zack De La Roche literally oozes resentment at the end, don’t be like Zack kids.   All in all, it was a pretty mixed-up affair, in a good way.

]]> Episode 33 of season 5 aired finally at 19h18 on Rebel Rock Radio.  Same as last week I could not connect to the server but this time I found some gremlins in the system and was able to sort it out.  We kicked off with Guns ‘n’ Roses, with Accept and Herman Frank in hot pursuit.  Both those tracks featured Herman because back in 1984 when Restless and Wild was released he was on guitar with Wolf Hoffman.  Pearl Jam and Soundgarden signaled the end of the metal for the next 10 minutes.  From there we went all over the place, leaving the grunge in Seattle we moved to Ireland for The Boomtown Rats, London for Joe Jackson, then down under for some ACDC and a track called 'Giving the Dog a Bone' off Back in Black.  Mutt Lange produced both the ACDC and the Boomtown Rats' The Fine Art of Surfacing.     

We had new stuff from Hell Fire and a track called 'Tortuga Nights' off the new album called Reckoning.  Also new was a track called 'Yen' off the new Slipknot, which is being released one track at a time in the same way as Arch Enemy and Megadeth were.  Speaking of both of those we checked them out as well.  It was cool to toast the late great Taylor Hawkins and check out a track called ‘Rudy’ off his EP Kota.  It's got so many hooks it reminds me of Rabbitt.  We went mellow with Dire Straits and a track called 'Lions' off the Live at the BBC album and then we went heavy again with a track called ‘Exiled From Earth’ off the finally released album called 'Deceivers'.  Arch Enemy is my current favorite metal band, Michael Amott and Alissa White-Gluz are killing it.   

By the end of the show, we had gone from Del Amitri to Parkway Drive and Nickelback to Soulfly.  The UK Punk slot was great, and The Stranglers with Duchess really hit the spot.  The Rodneys were lining up, god forbid.  It was also great to hear Stiff Little Fingers with 'Nobody's' Hero and Simon McBride who is now in Deep Purple in place of Steve Morse made his TSORR debut with a rack called 'High Stakes'.  We finished up with Rage Against the Machines cover of Devo’s track ‘Beautiful World, Zack De La Roche literally oozes resentment at the end, don’t be like Zack kids.   All in all, it was a pretty mixed-up affair, in a good way.   

Artists featured:  Guns ‘n’ Roses, Accept, Herman Frank, Newsted, Hell Fire, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, The Boomtown Rats, Joe Jackson, ACDC, Santana, Dave Hause, John Mellencamp, Rush, All them Witches, Megadeth, Slipknot, Taylor Hawkins, Dirty Honey, Simon McBride, Dire Straits, Arch Enemy, Bring Me The Horizon, Nickelback, Hinder, The Stranglers, Stiff Little Fingers, The Clash, Mr Big, The Answer, We Are Harlot, Sixx A.M., Del Amitri, Parkway Drive, Soulfly, Rage Against The Machine

The live show is such a big part of TSORR because the audience gives the energy and the show is way more chirpy when it's live.  Anyway, it was not to be.  We continued with some excellent brand-new metal.  ‘Saxons and Vikings’ from Amon Amarth.  It featured Saxons Biff Byford doing the Saxon part of the duet.  It’s a very, very cool track, one of my best for the year.   We then some Soulfly with a track called ‘Superstition’ off the brand new album called Totem.  There was bit of Dio and Megadeth in the middle of it all and then we took a listen to a track called ‘Asshole’ by Helloween.  It’s a pretty scathing attack on whoever it was aimed at and to be honest at that particular moment I had a long list of suitable candidates. 

I dedicated Gov’t Mule's beautiful track ‘Soulshine to a few of my friends having a really tough time at the moment and then followed up with U2’s amazing track 'Walk On' for everyone who just needs a bit of encouragement in these troubled times.  It was time to liven things up with some US punky stuff:  Blink 182, Wheatus, and Bloodhound Gang did the honours with Anthem, Teenage Dirtbag, and The Ballad of Chasey Lain respectively.  The ladies were represented by The Pretty Reckless and the awesome Taylor Momsen, then we had In This Moment and the power of Maria Brink.  While we were there we turned the mic over to Angela Gossow and a track called 'The Day You Died' off Rise of the Tyrant.  Michal Amott is just phenomenal on this, Rise of The Tyrant was released in 2007, and still has brother Christopher Amott before he finally left to pursue other interests in 2012.  The show stayed heavy because from there we went to Slayer and finally switched the pace a bit with two South African tracks, ‘Born on Death Row’ by The Uninvited, and ‘Swords’ a track off the brand new album from The Black Cat Bones.   We ended the evening in good US rock style thanks to John Mellencamp and TSORR's beloved Tom Petty.  The final track is really disturbing, 'Slow Motion' by Third Eye Blind should be a movie.    

Artists featured:  Volbeat, Halford, Marilyn Manson, James Reyne, Airbourne, Rose Tattoo, Don Babylon, Megadeth, Static-X, Helloween, Theory of a Deadman, Emigrate, Dio, Amon Amarth, Soulfly, The Cult, Stone Gossard, John Frusciante, Children of Bodom, Gov’t Mule, U2, Blink 182, Wheatus, Bloodhound Gang, ACDC, Ratt, Rush, The Pretty Reckless, In This Moment, Arch Enemy, Slayer, The Uninvited, The Black Cat Bones, John Mellencamp, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Third Eye Blind.

This week's Rock Review featured Rush and the last track 'The Wreckers' cut off violently due to the time slot allocated so to make amends and also by request we listened to it in its awesome entirety.  Things by now were picking up with some very special people tuned in.  We checked out a band called Ignite and another called Windowpane, two relatively unknown bands making some awesome music.  Next, we popped over to Germany for some Rammstein and some Accept.  We checked some new stuff from Alter Bridge off their forthcoming album Pawns and Kings, the track was called 'Silver Tongue' and we also listened to 'Times Like These' off the brand new Five Finger Death Punch release Afterlife.  A couple of Alices’ in the form of Alice in Chains and Alice Cooper were followed by classic 80’s metal from Van Halen and ACDC. 

We wound it down with four South African bands, starting with a request for Kobus! with Kultuurfeestent and then Jack Hammer, The Black Cat Bones, and L.A. Cobra. The Bones in particular sounded amazing with their cover of Bob Dylan's ‘I Shall be Released.  We stayed mellow and wound down this very random show with some Black Stone Cherry off the Kentucky album and Kid Rock with ‘Don’t Quit’ off his latest album released earlier this year titled Bad Reputation.    

Artists featured:  Bad Company, Dave Hause, Desperado, Keel, Danko Jones, James Reyne, Cold Chisel, Destruction, Thundermother, The Gaslight Anthem, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Rory Gallagher, Ignite, Windowpane, Rammstein, Accept, Alter Bridge, Five Finger Death Punch, Audioslave, Alice in Chains, Alice Cooper, Virgin Steele, ACDC, Van Halen, Candlebox, Kiss, David Bowie, Kobus!, Jack Hammer, The Black Cat Bones, L.A.

It’s released as a tribute to Dusty Hill who sounds awesome on this track.  Next up is a cool bit of Whitesnake off Love Hunter released back in 1979.  We checked out some Black Sabbath with a track called 'Peace of Mind' and then Aerosmith with Steven Tyler singing about his favourite colour.  ‘Tired Wings’ by The Four Horseman was a breath of fresh air and I briefly told the tragic story of that band.  The track came off the Rick Rubin produced album called Nobody Said it Was Easy, ain’t that the truth?  

 

Queensrÿche with ‘Child of Fire’ sounded absolutely better than ever and it was cool to hear something of Iron Maiden's debut album again.  Paul Di Anno on vocals and a track called ‘Strange World’.  The thing I love about doing these live shows is you can really create something out of nothing, as it wore on things sounded better and better.  Infanteria, a metal band out of Cape Town hit us hard with 'Raging Bastards' off their new album Patriarch.  The next track ‘Battering Ram’ by Saxon may well be the best track they have ever done, sheer power, metal at its best.  We caught some Pat Travers and his track ‘Snortin’ Whisky’, I have changed my message about this track, and new advice is offered now that I have had pause to reflect.  Next up, the wonderful Neal Young and his uber cool track 'Revolution Blues', check out that lyric.   

We checked out 3Teeth, which is very Mansonesque so we checked out Marilyn Manson, the Double MM himself off The Born Villain album.  Rory Gallagher made an appearance with ‘Bad Penny’ and then it was time for ACDC, making a rare appearance on TSORR with 'Evil Walks’ lol.  As always, we got a bit punky with Blink 182 and The Stranglers and threw in The Polices ‘So Lonely’ lest we forget how good the ’77 to ’79 period really was.  Then we had a flurry of Ss in the form of Seether, Sixx A.M., and Slipknot.  "Time are few boys" as one of my teachers used to say,  so we ended up with a bit of Volbeat and checked out with Judas Priest and an iconic moment in Rock when My Chemical Romance played out with 'Famous Last Words' and announced that the Black Parade was dead, we are still all crying.    

Artists featured:  ZZ Top, Whitesnake, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath.

We checked out Tindrum a band that I found on the Phil Wright Tapes,  in a continuation of what I call tracks from Tracks From The Grave,  we checked out a track called Street Fighter by Tindrum.  From there we had Welcome to the Circus, brand new from Five Finger Death Punch.  This time last week I was losing my rhythm, resetting streams, and generally pissing the listeners off so it was great to be able to do this show justice.  Some of it has changed, mainly the sentiment (happy, grateful) but most of it stayed the same.  Blue Öyster Cult hit the spot with a track called ‘Fight’, which we must.  We then entered the ‘Belly Of The Best’ with Sixx A.M., this bit got a bit personal with the current state of things in SA.  I experienced an armed robbery last week, 9 guys moved into our factory and took us prisoner, lie on the floor type shit you see in the movies.  We managed to outwit them and set off the alarm but it could have ended very badly.  The next two songs, Bastards by Machine Head and (Don’t let Em) Grind Ya Down by Motörhead summed up the need to fight this shit.  We cannot let the bad guys win.  Things balanced out with Rival Sons and the stoic sentiments of Good Things and we let the power of great rock music do its work, Bad Company, and Foreigner were good medicine. 

We had the evolution of female vocals with Sheryl Crow, Lzzy Hale, and Alisa White-Gluz.  We sorted out the UK Punk with Stiff Little Fingers, Sex Pistols and The Stranglers, and US Punk with Fall Out Boy and The Distillers.   Brody Dale is such an iconic rock chick, she should do more albums.  We ended the show with a lot of SA music and started with Springbok Nude Girls, then Mark Haze, then Nibs Van Der Spuy.  People wanted more so we had Valiant Swart and we went out with Johnathan Martin’s amazing track ’I Wish You Well'.   

The highlight of the show for me was the shout-out to Danny De Wet and his awesome book Sex, Drums and Rock n Roll……In Africa.  I spent time with Danny last weekend and he managed to get my book into the hands of Lucien Windrich who took TSORR on the plane with him back to the UK after a very successful Johnny Clegg tribute gig.  We took a listen to Wonderboom with a cover of eVoids 'Shadows', two bands Danny was an integral part of.

The highlight of the show for me was the shout-out to Danny De Wet and his awesome book Sex, Drums and Rock n Roll……In Africa.  I spent time with Danny last weekend and he managed to get my book into the hands of Lucien Windrich who took TSORR on the plane with him back to the UK after a very successful Johnny Clegg tribute gig.  We took a listen to Wonderboom with a cover of eVoids 'Shadows', two bands Danny was an integral part of.

Danko Jones let off a bit of steam and offered up some good advice on what to do when people cross you.  We also said farewell and RIP to Manny Charlton, guitarist and founder member of the beloved 70’s juggernaut known by the name of Nazareth.  'Hair of the Dog' was a fitting tribute to a great guitarist and songwriter.  Manny was 80 so that’s pretty good for rock and roll, well played sir.  We listen to Queensrÿche and Rush, two giants of prog according to some, but I figure it's not prog because I really love it.  Carlos Santana had a collapse on stage this week and was rushed to hospital, he’s OK, a bit of dehydration (the dude is 74) so to wish him well (because he never misses TSORR lol) we played his version of 'Whole Lotta Love' feat. Chris Cornell.  

Overall it was a fairly balanced show, we were light on Aussie and German stuff and only managed 4 SA tracks, one of which is my latest discovery, a band out of Cape Town called Infanteria, check them out they are great.  The classic '80s stuff came from Kiss, Dokken, and Dio, and Asking Alexandria, Testament, and Amon Amarth brought the metal to the party.   We ended super mellow with The Stranglers and 'Don't Bring Harry' and a beautiful track from Wonderboom called "Night Falls Like a Grand Piano'.   I managed to tone down the doom and gloom a bit although we are still on Stage 5 load shedding in South Africa and it really affects the number of listeners that catch the show. This in turn affects the energy of the whole thing., see if you notice.

Things warmed up with Black Country Communion and Satan (the band not the dude),  and then we hit a bit of a Guns ‘n’ Roses theme with a cover of 'My Michelle' courtesy of L.A. Guns. Phil Lewis's very British accent and Tracii Guns's guitar tone added serious value to the track.  The new stuff came from Megadeth and Ozzy.  Megadeth, in particular, is fantastic, seriously amazing, if the rest of the album is like this track titled ‘We’ll Be Back’ then its album of the year already.  We checked out the new Ozzy, which is great, even though I blow hot and cold on it, I am warming to it.  Make your own mind up on this one. I love Jeff Becks contribution but I'm not a fan of Andrew Watt in the produccers chair.  

I made up for a dearth of South African music over the last two weeks, starting with Richard Prior in his Pebbleman guise and a cover of the Warren Heynes track made famous by Joe Bonamassa called ‘If Heartaches Were Nickels’, nickles, not nipples lol,  Springbok Nude Girls, Mark Haze & 12th Avenue, Jack Hammer and a Cape Town metal band called Infanteria.  Infanteria is a seriously world-class thrash band in the mold of Slayer, Metallica, and Testament, thanks to Metal Malletjie Greg Scott for finding them.

From there it was the downhill run with some US Punk (Blink 182 and Fall Out Boy) and some UK Punk (The Clash and The Jam) and We ended heavy with Sepultura, Arch Enemy, and Destruction.   There was probably too much moaning about the state of the country, load shedding, and abomination that the ANC has become so apologies for that, to quote the Boss "Someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny".  Let's hope hey.

PS, I now know why Ryan Adams was considered possibly too mellow, his1989 album is a cover album.  Taylor Swift recorded 1989 in 2014 which is the year of her birth, Ryan was born in 1974 and he has songs called 1974 so I guess that is all part of it.  He decided to cover the whole thing.  Taylor Swift hasn't featured on TSORR before, I am aware that there is a Taylor Swift but up until now that was as far as it went.  Don't stress we won't be hearing her album any time soon.    

PPS, the TV show where "Chris died for your sins" was Weeds and it was the character Andy who made the shirts.

To rebalance for a Guns 'n' Roses without Slash we played a track off his It's 5 'o Clock Somewhere album.   There was a call for some metal so I played Asking Alexandria which was met with Oom-ish howls which a stated with Metallica's 'The Thing That Should Not Be'.  More howls, so we got back to old-school metal in the form of ACDC and Rainbow.  The world has changed a lot.   Other than that we paid tribute to Clarens Clemons who died 11 years ago this week.  'Born to Run' did the honours there.  We heard the obligatory Tom Petty track and some Marilyn Manson with 'New Model No 15' off Mechanical Animals.  Rammstein hit us with 'Haifisch' which means shark in English and then we celebrated a historic victory in which the forces of good triumphed over the forces of evil at the CCMA, Slayer with 'Richard Hung Himself' marked that spot.

No SA music in this episode!!!  can't believe it, it just got too busy.  Next week I promise.  Other than that there were two good releases this week Machine Head with a track called 'Unhallowed' and In Flames with 'State of Slow Decay', heavy metal is alive and kicking ass.  We went out quietly with Judas Priest's beautiful ballad titled 'Never Forget' which reminds us that they will keep going until they no longer can and that they will never forget the support from the fans, it's a bitter-sweet reminder of the fragility of it all.  Tomm Waits closed the gate with 'Gun Street Girl' off raindogs.

It was time for some metal so we moved on to Queensrÿche and Accept.  The Accept track was called 'The Abyss' off Blood of Nations and featured an awesome little Wolf Hoffman bridge about 3 min in, check it out.  Next, we went political and dedicated a song by The New Black called ‘Send in the Clowns’ to the politicians.  The hair metal days were celebrated as they always are on the show, this time with Ratt and Poison, Warren DeMartini, and CC de Ville showing exactly what the fuss was about.   

For the Metal, we had Slayer, Cradle of Filth, Testament, Megadeth, and Wolf.  Tom Petty, Kid Rock and Pride & Glory gave us a bit of laid back, what I like to call, heartland rock. Pride & Glory was Zakk Wylde's outfir after he left Ozzy but before Black Label Society.  The track 'Found a Friend' was dedicated to Athol and Margie who have been TSORR lifers since the show started in 2017.   We didn’t get any UK punk in this episode so that’s pretty rare, instead we took a lightning tour around the world ending up in South Africa via Germany, Canada, Japan, Australia, and France .   Oh, and of course, the new Kreator is out so we played a track called 'Crush the Titans'.  We ended heavy with Kreator, Slayer and Slipknot, albeit mellow Slipknot with a track called ‘Snuff’, with about 8 min left it made sense to go from Slipknot to Nickelback to Hinder, why the hell not it’s only Rock and Roll and we like it.  Cheers for now, catch you next episode.

First up we had 1000 Homo DJs.  Basically, that is Al Jorgenson of Ministry fame with a few buddies, people like Jello Biafra.  From there we had a 'Poisoned heart' by Black Star Riders.  Classic rock from Def Leppard, Krokus, Journey, and Whitesnake off the Love Hunter album moved us along nicely.  Korn took us into the 2000s and we stayed there with 21st-century bands The Temperance Movement and a solo album by ex-Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell.  

Jaques called in to ask if there were any drums so we took a listen to Doro Pesch and Warlock with a track called 'Hellbound'.  We celebrated the Queen's platinum (70th) Jubilee with 'God Save the Queen', the track that cemented the Sex Pistol's reputation as foul-mouthed yobs.  Staying in 1977 we checked out The Clash with 'Hate and War' and UK Punk heavyweights The Stranglers with a track off 1978's Black and White called 5 Minutes.  

The highlight for me was playing a song that is very special to me by a South African band called Count Ash.  Featuring guitar god Joe da Silva, Count Ash were resident at the Roxy Rhythm Bar in Melville in the early '90s.  I spent many Friday nights there in the company of fellow Sleaze Patrollers Marq Vas, Dave Lee Owen, and Stu Hollendrake.  Thanks to Vas who has the largest collection of SA music in the world (check out Mark Vas's South African Music Collectibles) I managed to get an MP3 copy of the track 'Holding On' which I rediscovered on my Phil Wright Tapes last week.  It was amazing to hear it again.  It made sense to keep those memorable days flowing with another track by The Diamond Dogs, they have been getting a lot of airplay lately thanks to Rebel Rock's Tinus Nel, who gave me some recordings that he helped fund many years ago.  I sort of lost control of the show for a while but we did chat briefly about Rodriguez, and Johnny Depp and we got to hear 'The Economic Theory of Jesus' by The Uninvited for the first time ever on TSORR.

Fortunately, I was able to change all the S5E23s to the correct S5E22 before everything got uploaded and created an irreversible hole in time.  The show kicked off with The Doors and  'L.A. Woman' and it was like cool running water, Jim Morrison giving us a glimpse once again of what could have been if he was still around today.  From a chilled laid back nearly 8 minute intro, we smashed a little Volbeat action and moved through Phil X and The Drills, Skid Row, and something off the new Ghost album Impera.  

We made a bit of a fuss about Johnny Depp and celebrated his vindication by the courts this week by playing his band Hollywood Vampires and a track called 'Who's Laughing Now'.  We washed that down with some Jeff Beck jamming with ZZ Top on 'Rough Boy'.  We had Classic Rock came from Black Sabbath, ACDC, and Led Zeppelin, prog type stuff from Threshold and Coheed & Cambria, and Metal from Sepultura, Death Angel, and Opeth.

The SA music was well represented by The Devil's Party Band, The Diamond Dogs, and Hellcats.  Tom Petty and John Mellencamp mellowed the show out a bit, I tried to revive it with some UK Punk, courtesy of The Stranglers and Stiff Little Fingers but ultimately the show moved back to a chilled ending with a fantastic love song about a guitar off the brand new Def Leppard album Diamond Star Halos.  Anyone who has played a guitar their whole life will fully understand the sentiment and the mini solos.  The show was dedicated to Athol's son Phoenix who turned 25 and celebrated by listening to The Story of Rock and Roll as one should.

The South African music bit was great thanks to Rebel Rocks' own Tinus Nel who had old recordings that I only had on cassette of The Diamond Dogs.  The Dogs were SA's finest live band back in the late '80s / early '90s and they would have been huge if they were in the US.  The energy from these recordings is palpable, We checked out a new track from The Black Cat Bones off the new album Book of Miriam which is being released slowly.  We also checked up Odyssey and Sacrifist.  

My favorite bit was the last hour where we had some rocking heavy stuff from The Lazys and Billy F. Gibbons before having a mellow-ish Jethro Tull into Van Morrison, into Bowie bit.  Moving the show through to a seriously heavy ending took skill and worked like a charm, going via the weirdness of Electric Six and Beastie Boys and using the Kerry King solo as the bridge into Slayer with 'Americon' and then Arch Enemy with their new track 'Sunset Over Empire' and show closer 'Arrows In Words From The Sky' by Machine Head

We went to Australia with The Screaming Jets and James Reyne and then to Germany with Accept and a delightful love song called 'Bucket Full of Hate'.  The show had a great mix and even featured a track from prog heavyweights Dream Theatre.  We had metal from Satan with 'My Own God', as well as more from Cancer Bats off their latest release Psychic Jailbreak.  The South African stuff came from Jasper Dan, Prime Circle, and Durban's very own Roland Suttie with his latest Theo Crous release titled 'There Was a Boy'.  By request, we slipped in The Uninvited and a track called 'Fixman' making a long overdue appearance.  It's a track of great relevance today with the immortal line "When the bullies go to war".  

There was a bit of Gary Numan and Transvision Vamp and another track from Roger Kaye with Blue  Scream titled 'Weak at the Knees.  We also checked out 12th Avenue and gave a big shout-out to frontman Mark Haze who I saw in Tableview last weekend.  the good news is that Mark is rocking and sounding better than ever.  He has without a doubt one of the best voices in the world and it's wonderful to see a guy so talented.  As we said at the gig, he plays guitar as easily as breathing.  We finished off with the Admas Family, Ryan, and Big brother Bryan, lol, just a little joke.

We took a listen to another two tracks off what I have been referring to as the Phil Wright tapes, this week it was Deep Purple with 'King of Dreams' and Vixen with 'Cryin'.   We checked out some vintage Iron Maiden and Judas Priest off Killers and Stained Class respectively.  The story behind 'Better By You Better Than Me' which caused Priest so much trouble after they were accused of being implicated in the suicide of two US kids back in 1985 was briefly discussed.  For newish stuff i.e. 2019, we had Phil X and The Drills and for brand new stuff we had Rammstein and Kreator. 

South African music was covered by The Devil's Party Band and a track called 'Headstone' and Jonathan Martin with "Wayward Road'.  We also checked an SA metal classic called 'Ozone by Odyssey and a track called 'Here I Am' from East Rand rockers The Burning, apologies to the lads I am pretty sure I referred to their album as Highway to Hell instead of Headed to Hell.  No doubt they would love the royalties for the former.  Other than that there was punk, alternative, metal, blues, and even Rabbitt with a super refreshing instrumental called 'Take It Easy'.  The track goes back to 1971 and it's clear that Trevor Rabin was as good as the best on the planet which is why he has been so wonderfully successful.  Let's leave it here, the playlist is below, catch you next week.

Iron Maiden, Motörhead, 5 18 full true The Story of Rock and Roll: S5E17 The Story of Rock and Roll: S5E17 Episode 17 of season 5 aired on 28 April 2022.  It seemed to fly by. We started with the one song that is most responsible for The Story of Rock and Roll, 'Detroit Rock City' by Kiss.  This song changed my life, once I heard it on an old black and gold Pye cassette tape in about 1978, I was never the same.  Next up was another band that had a huge influence on me Led Zeppelin with 'What Is And What Should Never Be'.

We had a bit of commercial rock in the form of Loverboy and Bon Jovi, two excellent bands that have left us a lot of good memories.  We gave the ladies a turn in the form of Thundermother out of Sweden and Burning Witches from Switzerland.  The South African music phase of the show went into overtime, we had The Black Cat Bones, 12th Avenue, Blue Scream, Dan Patlansky, and my current favorite The Devil's Party Band.  This EP titled The Best Album Ever was released last week and it's everything I love, high voltage energetic rock and roll with lots of guitar solos.  The whole concept of the Devil's Party Band is wonderful, I wish I had thought of it myself.  Well done Anthonie & Chris Van DerWalt, Jason Oosthuiden and Werner Bosman!

For the rest of it, we got heavy with Hellyeah, Machine Head, Mercyful Fate, and Metallica.  I made amends to everyone who experienced the brutal cut-over between my Stone Sour Rock Review and the next program on Rebel Rock Radio by playing 'ZZYXY Road' in its entirety.  As usual, I ran out of time and the show closed out with My Chemical Romance paying tribute to heavy metal legend Cronos with their track off Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge titled 'Thank You For The Venom.  And as always, there were drums.   

Artists featured:  Kiss, Led Zeppelin, Danzig, Sammy Hagar, Iron Maiden, Loverboy, Bon Jovi, Thundermother, Burning Witches, Bush, Matthew Goode Band, Accept, Counting Crowes, The Black Cat Bones, The Devil’s Party Band, 12th Avenue, Blue Scream, Dan Patlansky, Hellyeah, Machine Head, Joe Bonamassa, Staind, Rush, Mercyful Fate, Metallica, Phil Rudd, Taylor Hawkins, L.A.

]]> Episode 17 of season 5 aired on 28 April 2022.  It seemed to fly by. We started with the one song that is most responsible for The Story of Rock and Roll, 'Detroit Rock City' by Kiss.  This song changed my life, once I heard it on an old black and gold Pye cassette tape in about 1978, I was never the same.  Next up was another band that had a huge influence on me Led Zeppelin with 'What Is And What Should Never Be'.

The next hour was full of typical TSORR rock and metal, we got fluffy with The Eagles, sleazy with Mötley Crüe, heavy with Pantera, and energized by Chickenfoot.  As mentioned before Joe Satriani in Chickenfoot is simply amazing.  We checked out 'My Name is Allen' off Stone Sour's House of Gold & Bones to mark the fact that Stone Sour will be featured on the next Rock Review and then we had a track off Troublegum, that magnificent ball of venom released in 1994.    

We did a little feature based on the Phil Wright tapes, I am working through old cassettes of Phil's shows and featured two of the tracks I dug up, 'Love is a Killer' by Vixen, and A cover of The Small Faces classic 'All Or Nothing' by Tygers of Pan Tang.  We checked out the new Red Hot Chili Peppers and gave thanks for the return of John Frusciante.  No disrespect to Josh Klinghoffer, it's just that John is part of the genetic structure of all the things I do like about RHCP.   

As usual in the last hour, we get a bit more off the beaten track and check out rare and amazing stuff Like Roger Kaye's home recording of 'Lucifer Lives in the Whitehouse' and a track off Deangersmith's latest EP Vocabular Vacation.  the track was called 'Escape From Johannesburg' and that is indeed a worthy goal.  For the rest, we had some classic Iron Maiden, Avenged Sevenfold, and Sepultura.  We took a quick look at Rick Rubin's work with ZZ Top and Johnny Cash, check out his podcast with Lex Fridman for context.  Hope you enjoy it and spread it the TSORR word.  Cheers \m/

There was a nice little grunge bit where we revisited Alice in Chain's masterpiece 'Rooster'.  The story behind it is interesting and led to 'Blow UP The Outside World' by Soundgarden.  We bridged the grunge new metal vibe while keeping to the party theme with Deftones 'Knife Party.  Going from there into Tool made a huge amount of sense and it was here that the wheels came off.  Load shedding was scheduled for 20h00, for those who don't know what that it is it's a particular South African manifestation of mass corruption and incompetence.  It means we have no power for a few hours a couple of times every 24 hours.  I had turned the generator on before the power went off but switching it over in the dark took a bit longer than anticipated so there may be a slight gap between Deftones and Tool.  Do not adjust your set, it will come back.  

There was another gap after Bobby Gaylor's interesting bit of satire titled' Suicide' let's pretend that was to allow you to reflect on what he sang about rather than a load-shedding induced gap between the broadcast time and the playback time.  The joys of shitty wifi I tell you.  This episode has a solidly embedded metal infrastructure built out of Kreator, Machine Head, Parkway Drive, Hypocrisy & Arch Enemy.  We checked out the new Rammstein track 'Zick Zack' a fairly terrifying look at plastic surgery and the dangers of the human ego.  

A highlight for me was showcasing just how good our very own Dan Patlansky is, I played his 'Snake Oil City' back to back with Stevie Ray Vaughan's 'Couldn't Stand The Weather' and the main discernable difference is that Dan has a better guitar tone.  Yes, he is that good.  A bit of Samantha Fish got us out of the blues and into the metal as we closed with some pretty heavy stuff surrounding the aforementioned Bobby Gaylor track.  See what you think, it was technically very challenging.

The show did showcase a track called 'South' off the new EP Vocabular Vacation from Deangersmith.  It made sense to feature his work in Odyssey while we were at it.  We also took in a bit of Agro and a new band out of Manchester called Heavy Sentence.  These guys are flying the flag for what may well become the NWOBHM II.  Lets hope.  

The variation you have come to expect on the show was in evidence:  UK punk from Anti-Nowhere League, The Stranglers and The Jam, heavy stuff from Arch Enemy, Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica, and In Flames.  Southern Rock from Kid Rock and Black Stone Cherry, and then lesser-known metal from Tygers of Pan Tang, and Tokyo Blade.  There's plenty to get your teeth into, softer ballads from Lita Ford and The Pretty Reckless and then once again some rap / metal in a track called 'Gaddaar' by a band from India called Bloodywood.

The sad passing of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins deserved some TSORR recognition.  We took a listen to Taylor with the Foo's in 'All My Life' then a track off his solo EP Kota.  The track is wonderfully titled' I've Got Some Not Being Around You To Do Today'.  Taylor was way more than just the drummer for the band he was a part of the creative whole, a unique multi-talented character who breathed energy and charisma into the band.  From there we took a listen to Dream Widow which is an album Dave Grohl put together as a soundtrack to the Foos 2022 movie Studio 666.  Apparently, Dave played drums, guitar, bass and did all the vocals but it's a bit unclear in the literature how much the rest of the band were involved.   

We took a listen to Bollywood out of India and a track called 'Aaj' off their album Rakshak.  It made sense to follow it with 'Ratamahatta' off Roots.  Two other tracks that make sense together were Halestorm's 'Break-In' featuring Amy Lee and In This Moment with 'The Fighter'.  To restore balance and get the show out of slow, dark, emotional albeit excellent stuff we played out with an energetic couple of tracks from Kiss with 'Rocket Ride', The Distillers with 'Sick of It All' and My Chemical Romance closed the set with 'Welcome To The Black Parade'.   

P.S. After over 4 years of hoping it was fantastic to announce and celebrate the return of The Gaslight Anthem.  They are doing a reunion tour and are expected to record a new album.  Happy days.

Punk from Sex Pistols and Ramones with 'Pretty Vacant' and 'I Can't Give You Anything', we followed up with a bit of Oasis and then got back into the metal with Megadeth and Metallica.  New stuff came from Eddie Vedder and a track called 'The Dark' off Earthling and 'Kick' a new track from Def Leppard.  This led to a brief discussion about Vivian Campbell and an example played from his side project Last In Line.   I had the new Rammstein and didn't get a chance to play it.  I think I need a bit more time on it.  The New Kid Rock 'Still Somethin' off Bad Reputation is wonderful and a highlight of the show.

SA music came from The Black Cat Bones, Springbok Nude Girls and Falling Mirror with a track called '(Time) Is a Thief.  I played 'Smoke On The Water'!  I shy away from these super rock classics like Stairway and Bohemian Rhapsody because they have just been so overdone but the classic Made In Japan album version bought back some good memories.  We got heavy with Mastodon, Killswitch Engage, Slipknot, and Sepultura before wrapping it up in a mellow way with Tom Keifer, Neil Young and Tom Waits with 'Jesus Gonna Be Hear Soon'.

Punk from Sex Pistols and Ramones with 'Pretty Vacant' and 'I Can't Give You Anything', we followed up with a bit of Oasis and then got back into the metal with Megadeth and Metallica.  New stuff came from Eddie Vedder and a track called 'The Dark' off Earthling and 'Kick' a new track from Def Leppard.  This led to a brief discussion about Vivian Campbell and an example played from his side project Last In Line.   I had the new Rammstein and didn't get a chance to play it.  I think I need a bit more time on it.  The New Kid Rock 'Still Somethin' off Bad Reputation is wonderful and a highlight of the show.

SA music came from The Black Cat Bones, Springbok Nude Girls and Falling Mirror with a track called '(Time) Is a Thief.  I played 'Smoke On The Water'!  I shy away from these super rock classics like Stairway and Bohemian Rhapsody because they have just been so overdone but the classic Made In Japan album version bought back some good memories.  We got heavy with Mastodon, Killswitch Engage, Slipknot, and Sepultura before wrapping it up in a mellow way with Tom Keifer, Neil Young and Tom Waits with 'Jesus Gonna Be Hear Soon'.  

Artists featured:  Saxon, Tyler Bryant & the Shakedown, Tony Martin, Ozzy Osbourne, Guns ‘n’ Roses, Volbeat, Helloween, Pop Evil, Marilyn Manson, In Flames, Sons of Liberty, Kid Rock, The Pretty Reckless, Joan Jett, Bewitcher, Eddie Vedder, Def Leppard, Sex Pistols, Ramones, Oasis, Megadeth, Metallica, The Black Cat Bones, Springbok Nude Girls, Falling Mirror, Last In Line, Mastodon, Killswitch Engage, Manowar, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Scorpions, Sepultura, Slipknot, Tom Keifer, Neil Young, Tom Waits

Lee and Ray Gillan on guitar and vocals.  This album is one you really should have in your collection. 

For new stuff, we took another track of Tony Martin, ex of Black Sabbath’s new album Thorns.  It made sense to follow up with Dio on vocals with Sabbath and a track called ‘Computer God’.  The new album from Scorpions and Saxon also got some airtime.  It was St Patrick’s day today and some people take this really seriously so I let Thin Lizzy and Bob Geldof have a bit of airtime on behalf of Ireland ( I know, I know Bob Geldof?, I dig him OK 😊).    

For SA music I played some more from Hardy Mills’ outfit Diverted Disorder.  Hardy does all the guitar work and male vocals and Miss Rachel does the female vocals with Jared Gunston producing.  The good news is my mate Prawn has joined and that should be excellent for future live gigs.  We also heard a track from Prime Circle Keyboard player Neil side gig Cantrel, Devo of Devo Entertainment who promotes both bands sent me a cool little promo clip for Rebel Rock which introduced the track nicely. 

Other than that Sex Pistols and The Clash did the Punk, Metallica, Maiden, ACDC and Aerosmith di the classic rock and Hellyeah, and Killswitch Engage brought the heavy.  We had a double ending because I had to say cheers to the live listeners and then other cheers to the podcast guys.  It probably sounds a little weird.  All in all a show done under a ton of pressure but it is what it is.  Hope you enjoy it.

From there we meandered through some early Queen to two great albums, Sixteen Stone.  and Throwing Copper, both released in 1994, by Bush and Live respectively.  A highlight was taking in a 60 min blast of energy from Arch Enemy.  The track is titled 'The Leader' (Of the Fucking Assholes) and was originally written by a band called Shitlickers out of Gothenburg in the '82 - '84 era.  I dedicated it to those who send troops into neighboring countries to kill civilians to fulfill their own worldview.  

Rory Gallagher and Joe Bonamassa took care of the blues.  The Stranglers and Stiff Little Fingers did the same for UK Punk.  The SA stuff was handled by Blue Scream and The Burning and towards the end of the show Piet Botha with 'Van Tonder'.  The Blue Scream track is special as it features Roger Kaye who passed away in 2013 and was one of the finest musicians I ever met.  Roger was at school with me and had a huge influence on my musical journey.  You can find out more about him in my book The Story of Rock and Roll which is available on Amazon Kindle and in hard copy.  In order to build Roger's legacy, I post any episode of TSORR featuring him to the Roger Kaye Facebook community.

We went heavy with Parkway Drive and Arch Enemy and then had a lekker mellow ending which was a bit different and pretty cool.  Hope you enjoy it, catch you next episode.  

PS. For the record, I made a comment that although my German is non-existant I figured that I was pretty certain that Rammstein's 'Fruhling in Paris' meant woman or lady in Paris.  Once again certainty is the enemy it means Spring in Paris

There was a nice little bit showcasing the talents of Alissa White-Gluz, starting with a track off Me and That Man's latest album New Man, New Songs, Same Shit Vol II.  The track was called 'Goodbye' and featured Alissa with Devin Townshend.  She sings it beautifully with clean vocals and it's an amazing contrast to the next track where she does her trademark death vocals in Arch Enemy.  That track was called 'Deceiver, Deceiver' off the soon-to-be-released Deceiver album.  Sounds like something out of Black Adder, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness.  It made sense to round out this bit of the show with my current favorite female-fronted band In This Moment with Maria Brink on vox.  

We had a short section where we went into C&W territory and played Buckcherry and Kid Rock both featuring Gretchen Wilson.  The big disappointment was messing up the transition between Jethro Tull's 'Moths' and Metallica's 'Moth Into Flame', do not adjust your set there was a technical problem which, in the interests of keeping it real, I haven't edited out.  Dan Patlansky's new album Shelter of Bones is excellent and we took a listen to 'Soul Parasite'.  The new Scorpions 'Rock Believer' went down very well as did listening to two of my favorite solos ever, one from KK Downing on 'Before the Dawn' and the other from the amazing C.C. de Ville on Poisons' track 'Life Goes On'.  Putting Pantera and Nickelback together was good fun, I thought it worked very well and we closed out with two heartfelt South African tracks, 'Sien Jou Weer' and Komma from Piet Botha & Jack Hammer and Francois Van Coke respectively.

The episode ended up a bit different, overall probably a heavier show than normal. No UK Punk!, that's a first, no Aussie, no Judas Priest.  In its place we checked out heavier fare like BUllet for my Valentine, Gojira, In This Moment, Megadeth and Helloween.  The highlight was two tracks for new SA bands, Code 106 with Eradicate and Diverted Disorder with DEstroyed by Fate.  Both tracks are great and its clear SA rock / metal is in a good place.  Both bands are on iTunes, check it out.  I finally figured out a way to overcome technical difficulties and bring you more from the latest Iron Maiden album Senjutsu.  

The end of the show is pretty special, I played out with Kreator 'World War Now' not because I think there is one coming but because its a great anti-war song and deserves to be played.  The live show fades to black at exactly 22h00 for the next show on Rebel Rock, the song however finishes on the podcast and there is a perfect little end to the whole situation tacked on to finish things off.  May the force be with us.

Cold Chisel's cover of 'Knocking on Heavens Door' showed once again just what a great live band they were.  Ian Moss's guitar work as always just shines.  Speaking of guitar work, there was plenty of it, Black Label Society, Exodus, Megadeth, and Iron Maiden all showcasing some of the greatest guitarists around.  For a bit of UK Punk, we called on Sex Pistols with 'Did U No Wrong' and Stiff Little Fingers with 'Wait and See'.  The latter perfectly demonstrates the wonderful ability of Jake Burns to shift quickly into 'really aggressive now' mode.

Local music was ably handled by Roland Suttie, Johnathan Martin, and a seriously powerful track from Code 106 of a new EP called Alium.  Code 106 are sounded really good on this, I was suitably impressed.  From there we went on a Southern Rock jag for a few tracks, Kid Rock, Lynryd Skynyrd, and Whisky Myers all delivering the goods.  'Fill My World' the sad tale of Myles Kennedy's little dog Mozart alone in a storm and Sixx A.M. with 'Maybe It's Time' gave us a good 10 min of emotional stuff and it was tempting to mine that vein further, instead I opted for a mood-lifting end of show blitz of high octane 3 min tracks from The Offspring, The Distillers and Joan Jett (with her Blackhearts of course).  We closed out with UK Metal stalwarts Desolation Angels and a sublime track from Piet Botha.  Hope you enjoy it.

From there we bounced around between poppy-type Night Ranger tracks and way more metallic stuff from Bewitcher off Cursed be thy Kingdom.  I was told that it was once again time for the SONA, where the President takes a huge hit on the crack pipe and takes those who are interested on a fantastical journey of lies, fabrications, and pipe dreams.  Once I became aware of this a theme of sarcastic chirps permeated the show.  Cheap shots aplenty were taken when we listened to Keel - 'Die Fighting', The Clash - 'Police and Thieves, Stiff Little Finger - Fly the Flag, and We Are Augustines - Into the Abyss.   

Evanescence made their TSORR debut with 'Call Me When You're Sober and we added to that with some Halestorm and a track called 'I Am the Fire'.  My favorite stretch of the show was Megadeth, Metallica, Iron Maiden & Judas Priest.  It went down well proving once again why the world's biggest bands are the world's biggest bands.  We wound down with David Bowie, Iggy & the Stooges, and The Rolling Stones before we checked out with parkway Drive and Venom.  I played Skid Row's 'This is Killing Me' just to mark the South African situation and express my feelings about it, the song is truly amazing and gets me every time.  We closed out with Kobus! and 'Volk Van Main' dedicated to all of you amazing people who support TSORR, I am deeply grateful to you all.

Guns off their new album Checkered Past. 

The death of Meatloaf a few weeks ago highlighted to me how much Bat Out of Hell had meant to me growing up and it took his death for me to fall in love with it all over again.  That led to me thinking there are a lot of excellent bands that were so ubiquitous at a period in time that do not get a lot of love on TSORR.  Journey is one of those bands so we checked out 'Feeling That Way' off Infinity.  There was a great little bit where we checked out Metallica and then directly after two of their influences in the form of King Diamond and the totally underrated British NWOBHM band Demon.  We had Southern Rock from John Cougar and Kid Rock and then two young SA bands, Drumfish and Future Radio.  The latter has done a very powerful and interesting version of Dylan's 'Master of War'.  Check it out, very cool. 

A highlight of the show was the Punk section, Stiff Little Fingers' debut album Inflammable Material was released 43 years ago this week so we took a listen to 'Law & Order', then The Clash, and finally a song that I can't believe hasn't been I haven't played before on TSORR; 'Down in the Tube Station at Midnight by The Jam.  Tony Martin's new album Thorns went down very well and we closed out with a focus on Bruce Kulick's acoustic solo on Kiss' track 'Forever' and one of the greatest songs ever, a track called 'Learning to Fall by Chickenfoot. Check it out, hope you enjoy it.

We said cheers to Meatloaf who sadly passed away last Friday.  Meat had a huge impact on everyone growing up in the '70s, Bat Out of Hell was one of those freakish, outsize albums, selling north of 35 million copies that just took the world by storm.  We took a listen to 'Rock 'n' Roll Dreams Come True'  of Bat Out of Hell II. 

SA music got 4 in a row with 12th Avenue, Sugar Drive, The Burning, and Fokofpolisiekar.  We had nothing from Aussie, zero, nada, zip, that has to be a first, and was quite a shock when I realised it.  Apologies to my Australian friends, amends will be made next week. 

The Punk section was also unusual with nothing from the UK, we checked out Ramones and then a track called 'Bad Habit' off Smash, The Offspring's breakthrough album.  Are Offspring considered Punk?  No idea, these labels can be a bit tedious at times.  A highlight for me was Don Babylon with 'Ow, My Tiny Heart'.  I think it's one of the greatest choruses ever written.  It must be impossible to finish that song live, it will just loop on forever.

This episode contained a higher percentage of the lesser-known bands than normal, I think it worked out pretty well.  We took a heavy dose of what I would call Classic UK Punk; The Stranglers, Stiff Little Fingers, and Sex Pistols.  It is interesting to reflect on just how things have changed.  In the sanitised world of 2022these songs are even more incendiary than they were in 1977.  Or, am I just getting old? 

The early stuff was covered by Uriah Heep and Jethro Tull, The newer stuff by Ayron Jones and Me and That Man.  The heavy came from Venom and Architects.  We raised the issue of Valiant Swart's fundraiser and efforts to raise some cash so that his wife Lanelle can get treatment for a seriously debilitating condition that will need some support to sort out.  TSORR wishes Valiant well in this effort and supports the initiative.   As usual, we ran out of time just as we really got going and Neil Young closed the show with a track called 'Canerican' of his new album Barn.

After misplaced jingles and dead ait it kicked off fittingly with W.A.S.P. and L.O.V.E.

We pigged out on Punk with Stiff Little Fingers, The Stranglers, The Clash, and Ramones and it was good to be reminded of how cool these bands were.  the Stranglers in particular at their magnificent malevolent best with 'Sometimes' off Rattus Norvegicus.  Anyway, check it out, you should find something here.  It's a bit light on SA stuff with only Piet Botha and The Uninvited representing but I will sort that out next week.

I corrected the omission of Dee Sniders 2021 release Leave a Scar on last week's Best of 2021 show.  We hit the '70s with Deep Purple and Nazareth and then got heavy with Bewitcher.  They released another album I missed last year called Cursed Be Your Kingdom and it's excellent, we checked out 'Valley of the Ravens'.   There was some slower bluesy stuff from Billy F. Gibbons and Gov't Mule and an opportunity to slip in some Slipknot which went down really well.  It was a pretty mixed up show going from Joe Jackson and The Jesus & Mary Chain to In This Moment and Rammstein and then Hinder and Nickelback.  TSORR once again going where angels fear to tread.

The highlight for me was getting to play all 7 min of the title track of the Deangersmith Album Lead us to your Taker (Disable the Corrupt).  This album was released by Dean Smith, ex- Ragnarok, and Mouthful of Flies last year.  Dean played every instrument, did all the vocals and all the programming.  It deals with societal issues and it's a seriously good album.  So all in all a bit of a mongrel of a show and you will hopefully find something to get your teeth into.

The show kicked off fittingly with Tom Morello (feat Bring Me The Horizon) and a track called 'Let's Get this Party Started'.  From there we continued with Alice Cooper's 'Hanging By a Thread' off Detroit Stories and wound our way through US and UK releases to our first SA release, Albert Frost's title track 'Sacred Sound'.  Other SA talent featured included Dan Patlansky with 'Hounds Loose', Roland Suttie with 'Messages in My Head', and a stunning track from a band called Imagine&Nation out of Cape Town.  The song was called 'Rivers and Dreams' off an EP called Never Be Quiet.  I am hoping for more material from these guys in 2022.  They definitely got an additional sale on iTunes last night and well deserved too.  We checked out Nibs Van Der Spuy and Guy Buttery off Live in Lisbon.  Exodus put out the best seriously heavy album in my view, we took a listen to 'Elitist'.  Gary Holt has done amazing work on this album. 

The last hour was a rush to get to the 6 tracks that really rounded out 2021 as a fantastic year in music.  My favourite SA song was 'Beautiful Evolution' by Springbok Nude Girls and my best overall song was 'My Love Remains' by Ayron Jones.  It's reminiscent of 'Purple Rain' and it's loaded with emotion and has an awesome solo and just hits the spot.  Comments on the Whatsapp line pretty much confirmed this song as being exceptionally good.  The L.A. Maybe, Smith / Kotzen, and Neil Young were in my top 5 and I gave 2nd favourite to Volbeat and played 'Wait A Minute My Girl' before closing off with my personal album of 2021, Doom Crew Inc from Black Label Society.  'Farewell Ballad' off this seriously good album closed a great year in music and marked the conclusion of Season 4 of The Story of Rock and Roll Radio Show.  Thanks for all the support and I hope to see you for Season 5.

This show was very much a jam session, it is noticeable for the lack of heavy hitters like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Metallica and for the inclusion of more obscure bands like Gluecifer, The Raven Age, Cirith Ungol, Stone Sour, Iced earth and the like.   It also only features one SA band in the form of the very likable Future Radio and their track called 'State of Emergency'.  I didn't love this episode but maybe it will grow on me.  I was very quiet on the WhatsApp line and that always affects the show negatively, December is notoriously quiet and the ratings for RRR always fall through the floor.  In the final analysis is was heavier than normal with Pantera, Deangersmith, Exodus, Anthrax, Children of Bodom & Kreator.  It will probably end up being one of the most popular shows ever.   

The highlight for me was 'The Fires of Division' by Exodus off their new masterpiece Persona Non-Grata, Gary Holt has excelled on this.  The lowlight was the auto DJ kicking in every time the wifi connection drops.  You won't hear it on the podcast but it really breaks the rhythm of the live show.  I am looking forward to next week's show,  if 2021 gave us nothing else the music released was fantastic.

The love affair with Boston and Greta Van Fleet continued and I continued to play new stuff off the latest Volbeat and Black Label Society albums.  The brand new Neil Young called Barn and the third album from Nergal's side outfit Me and That Man went down very well.  The track we heard was called 'All Hope is Gone and featured Exodus / Slayer guitarist Gary Holt, Mantas from Venom, and Blaize Bayley ex Wolfsbane and Iron Maiden.  The album is called New Songs, New Man, Same Shit Vol 2.  

There was a sad moment for me personally as I paid tribute to a very special lady who was very much a second mother to me growing up and sadly passed away this week.  I am currently in lockdown as my daughter has covid so covid once again permeated the show in a not so subtle way.  Other than that it was a mix of classic (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest), heavy (Parkway Drive, Arch Enemy), and some acoustic-type stuff from The Boss Bruce Springsteen. I ran out of time and just managed to slip in the SA music right at the end.  You'll get The Uninvited and the Koos Kombuis classic 'Johnny is Nie Dood Nie' if you hang in all the way to the end.

Thompson's essential reading masterpiece Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas  Then we had a few topical songs such as 'Get Me Out of this Place' by Rose Tattoo and 'Heat Wave' from Thundermother.  Buckcherry and Boston bought some party to the proceedings.  Hellyeah's cover of the Phil Collins hit 'I Don't Care Anymore' made the point that Covid really needs to move on now, it's time to get on with life. 

There were a number of regular TSORR listeners tuned in and I aimed a couple of tunes in their direction, Rory Gallagher, The Jam, The Clash, Stiff Little Fingers, the brand New Volbeat track Shotgun Blues, and Stone Sour's 'Your God' were all dedicated to people who join me week after week. I am very grateful to you guys.  SA music included Koos Kombuis's scathing attack on the SA situation with 'The Fokkol Song', as I pointed out that was recorded in 2010 and things have only got worse :-).  Johnathan Martin showed once again that he is the most underrated musician in the country.  Johnathan deserves way more success than he has had, his songwriting, singing, and guitar playing are world-class.  We also checked out The Color Blew and Jasper Dan. 

Highlights of the show for me were the seriously heavy duo provided by Machine Head and Exodus and then the rather subdued ending provided by 8 minutes of Neil Young, a very moving Springsteen track, and 'Backwards Traveler' from Wings' London Town album.  the show ended fittingly with 'Out of Time', a 1966 release from The Rolling Stones.

I said hello to a few friends who had tuned in and we hit the Fo Fighters with 'Times Like THese' and Kid Rock's 'Wasting Time'.  There was a number of very special supporters of TSORR tuned in and it was great to shift the show in their direction.  A highlight for me was Rage Against the Machine's 'Killing in the Name'.  I don't think it has been played on the show before, for the life of me I don't know why.  It's a true masterpiece and the sentiment is probably more relevant today than ever before "fuck you I won't do what you tell me".  What a rallying cry in a world of politicians and bureaucrats hell-bent on deciding what's good for you.  

Up until this point, the show was light on metal so I fixed that with a 3M triple play of Megadeth, Mercyful Fate, and Metallica and how they link up.  From here we had a bit of punk and some blues-based rock from our very own Dan Patlansky and the wonderful Samantha Fish.  Dan's new track 'Hounds Loose' is great, check it out.  On a personal note, I said cheers to a loving and loyal little black dog named Lara who we sadly had to put to sleep and I am sure that as this year draws to a close many of you can relate to the sadness that seems to permeate everything in 2021, Temple of the Dog with 'Say Hello 2 Heaven' and Judas Priest with 'Beyond The Realms of Death' did the job.  We ended with some more local stuff, Asylum Kids, The Uninvited, and The Fismits.   We closed with U2's masterpiece ' Moment of Surrender'.  The highlight for me was Lyzyrd Kyngs and Piet Botha's beautiful lyric, check it out and feel that piloerection.

We took in a lekker little early '70s twosome with Free's track 'Remember' and Elton John with 'Razor Face' off the fantastic Madman Across the Water album.  A highlight for me was the new release from Pirates of Radio called 'Parasite'.  I reckon it's their best release so far and you should wake up with it stuck in your head.  Things took a turn for the weird with Electric Six's 'Danger, High Voltage' which was fun to hear again.   

Then it was time for a bit of Metal courtesy of Iron Maiden Judas Priest and Hell Fire.   The Jesus and Mary Chain, Falling Mirror, John Mellencamp and Earl Slick with a  superb cover of Sam Cooke's ' A Change is Gonna Come' provided a bit of respite before we built all the way back up to Warrior Soul, In Flames and the phenomenal Parkway Drive.  All in all, it was pretty, pretty, pretty good.

It is easy to give Rush all the credit for great Canadian music and forget about Rik Emmett and the lads.  This track ' Fight The Good Fight' shows admirably how good Triumph and the Allied Forces album was. 

We had plenty of heavy hitters; Rammstein, System of a Down, Five Finger Death Punch, and then some Boston and Foreigner to highlight why some people are stuck in the '70s.  Pearl Jam and Soundgarden took care of the grunge and Ramones and Blink 182 gave us our weekly dose of punk.  Then a strange thing happened and I played 'Mirror in the Bathroom' by The Beat which was a song I didn't like when it came out in 1980.  This is probably because it was the opposite of British Steel, Back In Black, Blizzard of Oz, Ace of Spades, Heaven and Hell, and Iron Maiden which were shaping my life at the time.  But it sounded good, I have mellowed.  

From there we tipped the hat again to Tokyo and Sao Paulo who are leading the listenership rankings for TSORR podcasts.  Sepultura's 'Refuse / Resist' was awesome and I enjoyed Japan's Lovebites with a track called 'The Wrath of the Hammer'.  From there it was the downhill run, there was a 5-minute break in the transmission of the live show as the power came back and the wifi had to restart.  The joys of an ANC run South Africa are evident.  We took a listen to the guitar work of Anton Lamour on Valiant Swarts' track 'Droomrivier', this was a small tribute to Theuns Jordaan who passed away this week and was loved and respected by many. The new Mastodon is awesome, we listened to 'The Beast', the show ended in grand style with 'Strachan' by The Hitchers and then some input from the Gallagher brothers with both Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds and then Oasis.  As usual, I totally ran out of time.

We kicked off in grand style with BulletBoys and a track called 'Hell on My Heels'  the immortal opening count-in from Marq Torien serving as a message to the government.  From there we continued with '80s metal in 2021 with Running Wild's latest release Blood on Blood and Mötley Crüe reminding us of how it was back in the day with 'Bad Boy Boogie' off Girls, Girls, Girls.  Then a trip back to the early '70s with Alice Cooper and Grandfunk Railroad.  And so it continued for a blistering 3 hours.

It was wonderful to have 3 of the original TSORR supporters tuned in.  TSORR started on the community station Mix FM in Midrand JHB on 21 Dec 2017 and was on air between midnight and 2 am and 4 years later it is great to have some of those listeners still tuning in.  There was another amazing thing about this show,  in recent episodes, Sao Paulo Brazil and Tokyo Japan have become the top listeners of the show and I paid tribute to both.  In their honour, we checked out Sepultura and Loudness and raised a glass in appreciation of the support around the world as TSORR edges towards 15 000 listens.    

There was some great SA music from blues master Dan Patlansky, a gritty track from Jasper Dan and a really excellent song by The Burning called 'Taking My Kindness'.  The Aussies got a look in as always with Cold Chisel and The Screaming Jets and Germany with a brand new track from Scorpions called 'Peacemaker', there was also the obligatory bit of Rammstein.   Check it out it was a jol.   

PS, there was also the great exposure of the truth that Dee Snider is really Larry David :-)

We celebrated 20 years since Nirvana's Nevermind and played 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and more grungy stuff from L7, then into a very cool cover of 'Boys of Summer' by The Ataris.  For some reason, we had fewer of the classic bands like Judas Priest, Aerosmith & W.A.S.P than normal.  I think it's probably the first time ACDC didn't get a run.  We also made up for the lack of SA music last week and checked out Fokofpolisiekar & Arapaho.  I needed to wrap up the elections theme that I started last week and The Uninvited and The Burning, out of Cape Town and Benoni respectively stepped up for the job.  The final word on elections was given to Deangersmith from his album Lead Me To Your Taker (Disable the Corrupt) and a track called ' The Bigger They Are The Harder They Fall'.  

P.S. The Hollywood Vampires track featured Jeff Beck, I couldn't find it during the show.  
P.P.S after hearing this again I found a bit at around 2:08 where I obviously didn't put the microphone on.  It's after AMH before Arapaho and I had been asked to mention to people that all those letting off firecrackers for Guy Fawkes / Divali are terrorizing a lot of very loved pets.  Please forgive the gap and don't adjust your set.  It's about 60 sec but feels like forever from my perspective :-(

We kicked off in the usual way with some upbeat rock and roll from Buckcherry of the new album Hellbound,  Avenged Sevenfold's 'Girl I Know' off Diamonds in the Rough.  We stayed raucous for about  an hour and then got into the Neil Young, Springsteen phase before going really bluesy with the ladies, Larkin Po 9making a TSORR debut) and the wonderful Samantha Fish with a track called Down in the Swamp.   

There was a nice stretch of SA music with Dan Patlansky and Albert Frost, two of the finest players around.  We paid special attention to Dan's tone and the fact that it is a product of a relentless lifelong search to get the right sound.   I then did something weird and played pretty much every band that the haters love to hate in a row.  I don't plan these things it just worked out like that.  All in all, I don't know what I think of this one, let's see what you think, comments as always are welcome, you can find The Story of Rock and Roll's Facebook page if you have anything to say about it.  Peace.

We kicked off with Black Spiders out of Sheffield and then checked out Craig Goldies, ex Dio's, band Ressurection Kings from their 2016 release of the same name.  We pulled in some big guns in the form of W.A.S.P.  and Skid Row and then took in two in a row with Chris Cornell on vocals. The early stuff was taken care of by Mott the Hoople, The Rolling Stones, and The Who.  There was some commentary around the fact that the Stones have dropped 'Brown Sugar' from their new live set supposedly because of pressure from the politically correct.  I played 'Some Girls' to highlight the Overton Window.  The Who sounded great with '1921' off Tommy.

We checked out the new Black Label society track off the new album Doom Crew Inc which will probably be called Doom Squad forever on TSORR.   A highlight for me was the new Joe Bonamassa release called 'Time Clocks'.  I had a bit to say about the amount of hate Joe gets these days and highlighted the fact that this song is an anthem.  Give it time to grow on you, Joe is amazing, I am grateful he keeps giving us an album a year where most artists keep us waiting 5 or more years.

We went to the UK for 4 tracks, especially enjoyable was Death of the Clown by Dave Davies.  SA music was taken care of by Blue Scream, L.A. Cobra, and The Color Blew.  Blue Scream, was a Tully McCulley project with Roger Kaye and Robin Gallagher involved.  You can read more about the band and Roger in The Story of Rock and Roll, he was a hell of a character.  We hit the home straight with the two Toms, Petty and Waits, and an almost country and western track from Lynyrd Skynyrd off the God and Guns album.  Special shout out to In Flames and Trivium for bringing the heavy.  The New Trivium In The Court of The Dragon is stellar.  

Artists featured:  Black Spiders, Resurrection Kings, Smith / Kotzen, W.A.S.P., Skid Row, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog, Jorn, Wolfmother, The White Stripes, Live, King Kobra, Mott the Hoople, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Whitesnake, Baton Rouge, Extreme, The Eagles, L7, The Pretty Reckless, Black Label Society, The L.A.

Dan Patlansky took care of the Blues with a track of his Perfection Kills album and then we checked out the KK's Priest album Sermon of a Sinner now that it is finally all released.  It is fully cool and the guitar work between KK and A.J. Mills is spectacular. Then there was an update on the incredible story of Richie Faulkner having a heart attack on stage while playing the final track 'Painkiller'. Richie has become the most metal oke on earth after finishing the song.  While his aorta ruptured filling his chest with blood, he faultlessly played all his solos and once the show was over was taken off to hospital and a ten and a half hour operation.  He is OK and we wish him a speedy recovery

The new Guns 'n' Roses was great, we checked the new track called 'Hard Skool' and then said happy 70th birthday to John Mellencamp, can you believe he is 70!  We got our punk from The Stranglers and Stiff Little Fingers and then we checked out two tracks about the Orca, one from Legend of the Seagullmen and then a most poignant look at the plight of this most marvelous creature through the eyes of Johnathan Martin.  The song is extremely touching if you allow yourself to really connect with what he is saying.  We finished off with two very South African tracks that may be a bit of a mystery to non-SA listeners, trust me they are both very relevant, happy to explain them to anyone who needs it.  We finished off with a little cheers to Van Halen legend who announced his retirement this week with the final words "Stay Frosty".  Enjoy it Dave you have earned it and you gave us fun by the ton \m/ respect.

One of the show highlights for me was a 3 song bit featuring SA bands spanning nearly 40 years.  We went from a new band in Cape Town called Image&Nation with a track called 'Rivers and Dreams' back to the mid-'80s and a recording I have of The Diamond Dogs, to AKing out of Bellville featuring half of Fokofpolisiekar.  We also checked out the power of Dean Smith, an ex-South African responsible for pioneering some serious SA Metal, and his new album released as Deangersmith.  The album is called Lead Us to Your Taker (Disarm the Corrupt) and the track was called 'Buckle My Shoe'. 

In the last hour we got heavy with Hatebreed and Testament then commercial with Nickelback and Bon Jovi ( yes I said the N-word), and played out with some classic ACDC, Judas Priest, and show closer 'Gypsy Lee Rose' from Brody Dalle's outfit The Distillers.  I Ran out of time as usual.  I was so busy I totally forgot to play the new Guns 'n' Roses track, which tells you something about a few things.

I spent a bit of time discussing how Dan Patlansky is not only one of the most talented guitarists on the planet but has also contributed to SA music more than most through his guitar clinics which have inspired many amateurs to get stuck in and start getting their music out there.  Two such artists, Roan Ash and Roland Suttie are examples of this and were featured next.  We also took a listen to Dean Smith and his track 'Freedom Fighter' under the Deanangersmith monicker.  Dean is a SA Metal legend having been a mainstay of bands such as Odyssey, Ragnärok, Brothering, and Mouthful of Flies, he is absolutely prolific and deserves more recognition.  He also doesn't give a fuck what you think and that is what makes him so endearing :-) 

We checked out another track from Mark Biagio and The Fismits and then got stuck into the brand new Stranglers album called Dark Matters.  I was extremely complimentary and made it clear once again just how much I love The Stranglers.  We did a bit of anger management with Fokofpolisiekar 'Angs Aanval' and Hatebreed with Black Flags 'Thirsty and Miserable.  All in all, it was one of my most enjoyable shows.  Hope you dig it.

We kicked off with Bush, which on its own was a bit different, then we went onto some classic Led Zeppelin and Alice Cooper.  New stuff came from The L.A. Maybe, and Ayron Jones.  I desperately wanted to play more off Senjutsu, the new Iron Maiden album to help those who are hating it see the light but it seems to have a block on the iTunes version which prevented me from playing it for you.  

The Stranglers and Stiff Little fingers took care of the Punk and Talking Heads made another appearance on the show with their Brian Eno produced classic "Once In a Lifetime'.  The heavy stuff came from Alexi Laiho and Children of Bodom, Slayer with a cover of Inna-Gadda-Da-Vida' and some Metallica and Megadeth for good measure.  

The highlight of this show was the last 30 minutes where things took a turn in a slightly progressive direction.   We checked out Rush, Threshold, and Opeth and that led yo a beautiful final track from South Africa's own Peter Hanmer.  Peter has some of the greatest guitar instrumentals it is possible to hear.  I urge you to check out his stuff.

The new stuff came from Springbok Nude Girls who have had a major return to form with the release of their new Partypocalypse.  Overall it was a nice mix of the '70s, '80s, '90s, and '00s metal and rock.  We heard some more from my current latest favorites Samantha Fish, Ayron Jones, and the new Serj Tankian EP Elasticity.  I really enjoyed Agent Orange by Sodom and Red Army Blues from The Waterboys.

We took a listen to 'Broken Son'.   

I am also going through a Samantha Fish phase so we heard from her and rounded out the blues with some Jonny Lang.  The heavy lifting was handled by Onslaught, Bullet For My Vallentine and, Sunken State.  The latest Rob Zombie was pretty cool and so was a track off Serj Tankian's latest EP called Elasticity, we took a listen to a track called 'Your Mom' which is proudly flying the System of a Down flag.  I had a little rant about the state of the government and the local municipality, as we have been without water for 24 hours, it felt appropriate to take a track off Give 'Em Enough Rope' by The Clash and 'Fire & Gasoline' by Steve Jones.  The music and lyrics punctuated a number of disparaging remarks about the state of things in general.  They were unplanned but heartfelt.

The South African stuff came from Valiant Swart, The Burning, The Uninvited, and Sunken Stae as well as newcomers Imagine&Nation who have released an excellent EP titled  Never Be Quiet which could be a mantra for TSORR.     

Artists featured:  Herman Frank, Monster Truck, Seasick Steve, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, The Sweet, Mötley Crüe, Steelheart, Vain, Onslaught, Q5, Queensrÿche, Running Wild, Wolfmother, Grandfunk Railroad, Ayron Jones, Mick Jagger, Serj Tankian, Mason Hill, Samatha Fish, Jonny Lang, Imagine&Nation, Valiant Swart, The Burning, Bullet For My Vallentine, Massive Wagons, Mammoth WVH, Rose Tattoo, The Clash, Steve Jones, Accept, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motörhead, Windowpane, Mr Big, The Uninvited, Sunken State.

I had a number of bands that, while not new to the world, were new to me.  These included The L.A. Maybe and a South African band out of Cape Town called Imagine&Nation.  There were new releases from Iron Maiden and KK's Priest.  I spiced the show with Killswitch Engage, Gojira, & Annihilator and we covered the Punky / New Wave stuff with Green Day, Titus Andronicus & Talking Heads.  It was great to hear 'Burning Down the House Again'.  We had more Chrome Division and more Greta Van Fleet.

The usual heavyweights, Guns'n' Roses, Joe Bonamassa, Kid Rock, Dio, and Motörhead were featured.  I found a Motörhead song I had never heard called ' God Was Never on Your Side', I do not know how I missed the album, Kiss of Death.  The track actually reminds me of The Kinks 'I'm Not Like Everybody Else' which you can find on the website www.thestoryofrockandroll.com.  It is on the blog page and features an incredibly powerful video from The Sopranos.  The show closed out with a final goodbye to Charlie Watts and a few tracks that help us to realise that we are living the times discussed on page 185 of The Story of Rock and Roll.  "These heroes may die but their music lives on".

Aussie was represented by ACDC and Airbourne and SA by Wonderboom, Government Car, The Uninvited, and Lithium.  We also risked the wrath of a world of haters by playing Nickelback and we countered the sexism of the song with an equally sexist viewpoint from the ladies in the form of The Donnas and 'Take Me To The Back Seat'.  

The highlight of the show for me was back-to-back Led Zeppelin and The Cult with 'Tangerine' and 'Edie (Caio Baby)' respectively as well as Cold Chisel's live long-form version of 'Bow River' featuring the very underrated Ian Moss on guitar and vocals.

There were also more new releases than usual, we checked out Dee Snider, Seether, Springbok Nude Girls, and Guns 'n' Roses.  Rock is alive and well even if Absurd by G 'n' R isn't quite what I had hoped for,  It's a grower.  The highlight of the show for me was 3 levels of heavy where we started with Skid Row's power ballad '18 and Life', moved into 3rd gear with Hell Fire, my new love affair our of San Francisco,  and ended in overdrive with SA metal monsters Sunken State.  Note that Hell Fire is not new, I just found 2 more albums I didn't have and I am Hell Fire befok.  

The punk-ish stuff came courtesy of The Clash, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and Sex Pistols.  We were light on Aussie and Germany and light on SA as well.  I am not sure quite how we ended up with a show so different from normal.  Anyway to quote Jack Hammer, "Thats how we roll".   Check it out, see what you think, comments welcome as always, 'til next time, have a jol.

The show was a lot more upbeat than last week for obvious reasons and we covered a huge variety of rock.  everything from Ballads by Boston with 'Let Me You Home Tonight' to Slayer with 'Divine Intervention'.  In fact, we even got as chilled as Rodriguez and 'Forget It'.  The Jam with 'David Watts was a breath of fresh air as was  Pat Travis with his amazing track 'Snortin' Whisky'.  A highlight of the show was checking out two new releases.  Dee Sniders' 'I Gotta Rock (Again),  and Seether with ' Feast or Famine'  which is a real return to form.  I am starting to think a 4 track EP with some really good tracks every year is better than waiting for a new album with 4 good tracks and 11 tracks of filler every 4 to 6 years. 

The local stuff was a bit different this week and very Rebel Rock Radio presenter-centric.  We checked out another track from Before The Hindsight by The Fismits.  Mark Biagio, who presents The Crooked Beat on Rebel Rock Radio is the main man behind The Fismits and writes the songs and does guitar and vocals.  We also checked out a demo by a band called Fire Horses with a track called Porsche Roller.  It was a song I wrote in Cape Town and never got a chance to record so together with Adam Thomas (the legend) and Jack King Lawless we recorded it one Saturday afternoon a few years ago.  It is here for posterity.  We closed out with Ozzy and 'See You on The Other Side'.

The first hour was pretty up-tempo with bands like Edguy, Krokus, W.A.SP., and Skid Row.  I paid tribute to Dusty Hill, bass guitarist for ZZ Top, who passed away last night age  72.  He apparently died in his sleep which is about as good as it gets I guess.  We took a listen to Tush as he does lead vocals on that classic track.  the mood changed a bit once we hit the Springsteen and took in Atlantic City off his masterpiece Nebraska.   Zakk Wylde, Neil Young, and Windowpane with 'The More I Run' kept the mood where it was.  

The show moved along with typical TSORR fare, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, ACDC, Lynyrd Skynyrd all delivered the goods and in the last hour, I played a couple of tracks that I dedicated to Dad before taking us out with the only really heavy track of the show in the form of Machine Head's 'Davidian'.  Anyway, it is what it is, I hope you get something out of it, it was a difficult show for me and I let Lemmy have the last word with 'Till the End'.  

Artists featured:  Metallica, Edguy, Skid Row, Krokus, W.A.S.P., ZZ Top, My Chemical Romance, Bruce Springsteen, Zakk Wylde, Neil Young, Live, Windowpane, Richie Kotzen, Scorpions, Foo Fighters, Scorpions, Foo Fighters, Billy Idol, The Four Horsemen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blackstone Cherry, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Theory of a Deadman, Linkin Park, Jimmy Barnes, Brian Fallon, ACDC, Gotthard, Johnny Cash, Valiant Swart, Roan Ash, Mammoth WVH, Aerosmith, Oasis, Jack Hammer, Black Sabbath, Machine Head, Motörhead.

The airwaves were very quiet for the first 90 min of the show which always makes it hard to choose the music.  It felt a bit disjointed at the time but the end result is fine I believe, you can be the judge.  Kicking off with some lesser-known bands like Resurrection Kings and Devils Train, we moved through the usual ACDC, Motörhead, Kiss, Whitesnake type fare interspersed with heavy stuff like Pantera, Slayer, and Five Finger Death Punch.  The new stuff came from KK's Priest and Iron Maiden and a band of youngsters called AMH.  AMH stands for Adam and the Metal Hawks which is what the album is called.  This is going to confuse the shit out of everyone, people are not going to know what to call them.  But the music is great.  I buffered it with Greta Van Fleet and a band of youngsters out of the UK called Equator, all three bands showing that rock music is in good hands and very, very far from dead.  

I said a few words about Leon and paid tribute to his contribution to my development, the formation of Rebel Rock Radio and the amount of effort he put into pumping SA music.  He was one of a kind and he will be missed.  The highlight of the show for me was playing a band called Sun Fish who were around in Cape Town in the late ' 90s early '00s and put out a cracker of a track called 'Dawn of Clay'.  Other SA music came from Jasper Dan and Van Coke Kartel.  I let Black Label Society sum it all up with a track called 'Sick of it All'. 

Artists featured:  Dropkick Murphys, Devil's Train, Ressurection Kings, ACDC, Drowning Pool, The Temperance Movement, Powderfinger, Hell Yeah, Texas Hippie Coalition, Pantera, Sinner, The Dead Daisies, The Four Horsemen, Five Finger Death Punch, Motörhead, Black Label Society, Buckcherry, Blue Cheer, Jethro Tull, Iron Maiden, KK's Priest, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Stranglers, Sham 69, Kiss, Jasper Dan, Foreigner, Sun Fish, Van Coke Kartel, Whitesnake, Greta Van Fleet, Adam & the Metal Hawks, Equator, Slayer, Scorpions, The Rolling Stones, Gary Moore.

We kicked off with Godsmack and 'Bulletproof' and then had 'Something For The Pain' courtesy of Bon Jovi.  Next up, a shout-out to the guys and girls who were patrolling on neighbourhood watch and community groups in the form of 'Guardian of the Night' and 'Got Your Six' by Accept and Five Finger Death Punch respectively.  We got positive with Joe Bonamassa's 'Bridge to Better Days' and Queensrÿche with 'Resistance' off the phenomenal Empire album.  I truly believe we are building a bridge to better days and solidified that with 'United' off Judas Priest's British Steel album.  

There was a nice little bit talking about the music and how important it is and how special the people who understand and value TSORR are and how the guitar unites us.  Piet Botha's 'Man Met Kitaar' underlined the point.  Things got heavy with Lamb of God and 'Walk With Me in Hell' but then we cooled it down with some Joe Jackson and The Boomtown Rats.  The bluesy stuff was courtesy of Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Tom Petty type stuff came from Tom Petty (surprise, surprise) and The Gaslight Anthem.  With about an hour to go, I saw the sad news that Jeff La Bar, guitarist for 80's metal legends Cinderella had just passed away so we took a listen to him and said RIP and thanks for the music, Jeff.  Anyway check it out, comments, questions, suggestions etc welcome on the TSORR Facebook page.

Other than that I didn't want to spend too much of the show gloating about Zuma going to jail but it was necessary to play Pink Floyd's 'The Trial' off The Wall and highlight the immortal lines "Of all my years of judging I have never heard before, of someone more deserving the full penalties of law".  I said my second last word about this and played Bruce Springsteen's 'One Minute You're Here'.  I think the point has been made.  The punk piece was fun with Blink 182, Green Day, and Sham 69 with 'Borstal Breakout'.  From Punk we went sort of proggy with a band out of Helsinki called Wheel and then we went to Sweden for a track off the brand new At The Gates album called The Nightmare of Being. I mentioned In Flames as being the band that members of At The Gates went to but it was actually The Haunted.  

Other than that it was good fun and going from Parkway Drive to Crosby stills, Nash and Young is probably a radio first.  Short of SA stuff again this week, all we managed to hit was Derick Hougaat's favourite band Van Coke Kartel.  Good times, see you next week \m/ 

Artists featured:  ACDC, U.D.O., Animal Drive, Def Leppard, Chickenfoot, Led Zeppelin, Voices of Extreme, Overkill, Ricky Warwick, RavenEye, Mercyful Fate, Gov't Mule, Ozzy Osbourne, Pearl Jam, Jimmy Barnes, Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen, Godsmack, Marilyn Manson, Soil, Soul Asylum, Blink 182, Green Day, Sham 69, Wheel, At The Gates, Van Halen Thunder, Mötley Crüe, Buckcherry, Judas Priest, Journey, Parkway Drive, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Smith / Kotzen, Type O Negative, Van Coke Kartel, Rancid, Motörhead, My Chemical Romance.

There were plenty of big names, we heard from Van Halen, ACDC, W.A.S.P.,  Scorpions, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest.  The highlight for me, other than all the Zuma jibes, was Skid Row with a track off  United World Rebellion- Chapter One called  'This is Killing Me'.  It is an incredibly good song made all the more poignant by the sad passing of Johnny Solinger, the vocalist on the track earlier this week.  Largely ignored, these last two Skid Row albums shine, RIP Johnny.  We checked out a band I have just discovered this week, Seven Thorns out of Denmark, and their track 'Black Fortress'.  Check out the guitar work about 3 minutes in.  We also got a dose of what would happen if Marilyn Manson replaced Till Lindemann in Rammstein by listening to his vocals on Emigrate's second album Silent So Long.  

New stuff from Buckcherry, SA stuff from The Burning and Prime Circle, Punk from Sham 69 and The Jam, and oldies from Python Lee Jackson with 'In a Broken Dream'.  There were lots of dedications to listeners and as I said a huge celebration about Zuma's impending incarceration.  I let The Boss, Bruce Springsteen, have the final word for Zuma with When You're Alone.  It may well be the most perfect radio show I have ever done :-).

Punk was covered by Green Day, the Clash, and Ramones, it was great to hear the Clash's 'Somebody Got Murdered ' again, it's been ages since I heard that track off the very bloated Sandinista triple set.  For the heavy, we took in an aural assault courtesy of Pantera, Parkway Drive, and later some Mastodon and Megadeth.  Rory Gallagher and Zakk Wylde took care of the guitar lessons.  As usual, I had 3 times the amount of music that would fit into 3 hours.  The show is almost noticeable more for what we skipped than what we played :-)

A highlight for me was Papa Roach with between Angels and Insects', that lyric is something else, I didn't realise how good it is and that folks, is the beauty of the show, you get your attention drawn to the little things that are massive.  Another highlight was Queen off Live Killers, it is another of these "Never Forget" moments, Queen in their day were the best band in the world.  Anyway, check it out, if you want to get in contact check out The Story of Rock and Roll Facebook page, until next week Adios Ameoba's

As promised there was a lot of SA music on the show to make up for the last episode where SA music was a bit short-changed.  We had LA Cobra, Sugar Drive, Deadline, The Fismits, Springbok Nude Girls, and Sunken State all flying the local flag.   It is great to hear such a diverse range of rock from these bands, the talent in SA is amazing.  Incidentally, The Fismits is Rebel Rock Radio's own Mark Biagio's band,  check out their album Before the Hindsight.  Sunken State is my current favorite metal band, these guys are going to go far if lovers of metal get behind them.  Following on from Sepultura near the end of the show they absolutely hold their own and I explain why they are so good. 

Generation X with 'Kiss Me Deadly', The Stranglers, and Social Distortion took care of the Punk and gave me a chance to take some cheap shots at the government.  W.A.S.P. with 'The Idol' off  Blackie Lawless's masterpiece Crimson Idol was a highlight for me as was revealing who played the brilliant Comfortably Numb-esque solo on that track.  There is lots more here so go ahead and check it out, all comments welcome, catch me on The Story of Rock and Roll Facebook page or on the website.

We started with W.A.S.P.  and ' The Invisible Boy' off their masterpiece, The Crimson Idol. Next, it was the turn of Great White off their '91 album hooked and I highlighted just what a great year 1991 was for new releases.  The show was light on both Australian and South African artists, with only Cold Chisel, ACDC, and Fokofpolisiekar getting a slot this week, I will put in some extra SA next week.  Cold Chisel's 'Yakuza Girls' off The last Wave of Summer went down very well.  We checked out Die Toten Hosen with 'Liebeslied' which just made it impossible no to follow up with The Damned and 'Love Song'.   

Once again The Doors sounded amazing and clearly, I need to play a bit more of them.  Amazing to think Jim Morrison only made it to 27, so young, imagine what he would be putting out these days.  Other than that Halford was great and so was Kid Rock, in fact, everything was good, just as it should be.  Check it out, i am sure you will find something in here.

The show kicked off with Axel Rudi Pell and a track called 'Gunfire'.  We followed with Black Sabbath and  'Tomorrow's Dream' which at the moment is looking like a nightmare.  It is very easy to go off on a tirade about this so I will resist but just know that as relaxed as the show may sound I am in a constant war with wifi throughout.  I even set up a whole separate router system during the show which didn't work either.

I played Beatallica which is a very odd mash-up of The Beatles and Metallica, it sounds ridiculous I know but just listen to it, the guy has Hetfield down to a T.  I played another Sinner track off There Will  Be Execution, really enjoying the band, I paid tribute to the amazing Francois Van Coke and celebrated his fantastic victory over rugby star Derick Hougaat last Saturday.  Rock gave rugby a lekker klap, we took a listen to Fokofpolisiekar with 'Tygerberg Vliegtuig' to celebrate.  Then it was time for some UK punk in the form of the Sex Pistols with 'Holidays in the Sun' and The Clash.  Another notable mention was that it's 10 years to the day that I was in Germany for Rock Im Park.  We took a listen to Avenged Sevenfold and Bring Me The Horizon to mark that momentous event. 

It's 2 years since Piet Botha passed and I played 'Die Gemmerbroodman' and told you a little bit about who I had been told that song is about.  Incidentally on my iTunes copy of Die Mamba Piet Botha is called 'Pie Botha' so if you are living in another country and have the album, his name was Piet........not Pie.  I played the brand new Buckcherry called 'Hellbound' and I went on yet another big gushy rave about Sunken State.  It has been a long time since I have been as excited about a band as I am with SA's own Sunken State.  The album gets released on 11 June.   We wound up with The Parlotones and 'Disappear Without a Trace'  because that is how the future in SA feels right now and we said happy birthday to Charlie Watts by playing 'Street Fighting Man' and closed out by continuing the love affair with Brody Dalle and The Distillers with a track called 'Seneca Falls'.  Adios amoebas, check you next week.    

Artists featured:  Axel Rudi-Pell, Black Sabbath, Alice in Chains, Bush, Keel, Seether, Sinner, Ratt, The Winery Dogs, 12th Avenue, Rammstein, Type O Negative, ACDC, Aerosmith, Beatallica, Machine Head, The Band, Matthew Goode Band, Fokofpolisiekar, Sex Pistols, the Clash, Piet Botha, ZZ Top, Avenged Sevenfold, Bring Me the Horizon, Hollywood Vampires, Buckcherry, Mark Morton, Greta Van Fleet, Halford, Iron Maiden, Sunken State, The Parlotones, The Rolling Stones, the Distillers.

The Doors with 'Riders on the Storm' really went down well, it's such an incredible song, or as one listener put it "for my soul".  SA bands included Mark Haze, Wonderboom, Arapaho, The Color Blew, and near the end, what I consider to be the best metal band in the country, Sunken State with a new track called ' Separation Has Begun'.  Mark my words this band is going to be huge as far as metal bands can be huge in today's world. 

Highlights for me were listening to The Mayfield Four with 'Summergirl' and around 4 min in where Myles Kennedy just takes his vocals to a new level, absolutely incredible.  Whitesnake with 'Still of the Night' sounded amazing and Arch Enemy with Alissa White-Gluz on vocals and Michael Amott on guitar rounded out the highlights with 'You Will Know My Name' off War Eternal.

Punk from The Clash, Stiff Little Fingers and Anti-Flag, Jimmy Barnes & ACDC from Australia, and Rabbitt, Arno Carstens, L.A. Cobra, and the Fismits from SA.   Ministry took care of the unusual with their cover of Bob Dylan's 'Lay Lady Lay'.  The new stuff came from Thunder with a cracker of a track called 'Last one Out, Turn Off The Lights' off their new album called All the Right Noise.  It's really good, Danny Bowes and Luke Morley on top form.  I figure that the track is about Brexit but that's just my opinion.  

The back end of the show went a bit morbid with songs about death courtesy of Avenged Sevenfold, Soundgarden, and The Pretty Reckless with 'Harley Darling' and then it went surprisingly mellow with  Billy idols ' Kings and Queens of the Underground'.  Zakk Wylde's found a Friend was goose bumping to the extreme and we finished off with Lou Reed and a band called The Fismits.  The Fismits is Rebel Rocks Radio's very own Mark Biagio's outfit, he has done the guitar, vocals, and songwriting and this track called 'Questions' is as good as anything anyone has released ever.

The highlight of the show was giving airtime to the brand new track from KK Downing.  As you should know KK left Judas Priest many years ago but seemed to have sore balls about not being invited back.  He has now started KK's Priest and pulled in ex-Priest frontman Tim 'Ripper' Owens.  To be honest, it is a genius move, Ripper is one of the only guys who could pull this off.  The thing here is that KK will get a ton of hate because it is totally a Priest rip off and people will say he is ripping off something that he actually started and was a huge part of for 41 years. Here is my take, listen to the track 'Hellfire Thunderbolt' and just rejoice that we have a new source of the music we love.  There can never be too many bands in the world making this style of music in my view.  We followed up with the mighty Judas Priest just to calibrate the world.  KK has done a great thing but it is not Judas Priest. 

Other than that we discussed the passing of Tawny Kitaen and did a little tribute to the girl that helped Whitesnake become MTV megastars and wrecked David Coverdale's life :-).  Van Halen's 'Drop Dead Legs' was a part of that tribute.  We heard a bit more from Gojira, the new album Fortitude, is amazing.  Kid Rock always sounds good, his track 'Po-Dunk' hit the spot as did Cold Chisel with 'Flame Trees'.  Anyway, check it all out there is plenty to get your teeth into.  See ya next week.  

Artists featured:  Boston, Jetboy, Aerosmith, Metallica, Bush, Green Day, Scorpions, Red Dragon Cartel, Leslie West, Jimi Hendrix, Black Star Riders, Black Bone Nation, Type O Negative, The Monks, The Boomtown Rats, Motörhead, Last In Line, KK's priest, Judas Priest, Theory of a Deadman, L.A.

The highlight of the show for me was Dan Patlansky with ' My Dear Boy' off his most recent album Perfection Kills.   I pointed out that Dan is not only one of the best blues guitarists in the world, an incredible teacher and all-round decent human being but also has the best guitar tone around.  The track demonstrated that as did the next song 'Couldn't Stand the Weather ' by Stevie Ray Vaughan.  

Punk was covered by the Sex Pistols and the UK Subs and the new stuff came from Thunder, Alice Cooper, and Great Van Fleet.  The Thunder album was released this week and is called All The Right Noises, it is very strong.  Other notable mentions were the Gojira track called 'Born For One Thing' off Fortitude.  It is a monster of an album, the drumming is amazing, its going to be Best Metal Album of the year in all the Metal publications I reckon.  More form that next week.

We started with Korn, which is something different, it just had the right energy.   There was quite a bit of '80s metal, Tesla, slaughter, Y&T, Tokyo Blade, and even Stryper, remember them?  To hell With The Devil  was the top-selling Christian Metal album for about 15 years.  We took a listen to the title track.  We had the usual fare, ACDC, Gun 'n' Roses, Airbourne, Deep Purple, that sort of thing but we also checked out Anto-Nowhere League, The Wildhearts, and Paradox.  Pantera and Parkway Drive took care of the heavy.

I am still deeply under the spell of the book Nothin' But a Good Time, the story of 80's hair metal so we checked out Girl and L.A. Guns.  We took a listen to Bob Dylan's live version of 'All Along The Watchtower' as promised last week.  The new stuff included more Smith / Kotzen and Greta Van Fleet off their brand new album The Battle at Garden's Gate.  I am raving about the tracks I have heard off the soon-to-be-released Myles Kennedy album, the track we played, 'Get Aong' is superb. 

Other than that it was pretty much par for the course, The Burning and L.A. Cobra for South Africa, James Reyne, ACDC, and Jet for Aussie, Kreator and In Flames for metal and The Distillers and Stiff Little Fingers for punk.  A highlight for me was listening to 'Dreamer Deceiver', Judas Priests' masterpiece off Sad Wings of Destiny, it is a reminder once again of just how good Rob Halford is.

We got into the South African stuff early with AKing and Johnathan Martin and then we took a short detour into the New Wave world of Joe Jackson's masterpiece Look Sharp!  The pace picked up with Judas Priest, Circus of Power, Motörhead, Led Zeppelin, and Venom.  The Venom was particularly good, we heard 'The Death of Rock 'n' Roll' off their 2015 release From The Very Depths.

The final few tracks featured some amazing acoustic guitar from Lynyrd Skynyrd and 'The Last Rebel' and then a true blue classic protest song called 'The Great American Novel'.  It's an amazing lyric from his 1972 album called Just Visiting This Planet.   I tell you what, if he was pissed off back in '72 he must be apoplectic by now.

We checked out Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, as we always do and there is also some ACDC, Metallica, Thin Lizzy, and Black Sabbath buried in here.  We dumbed down for Bloodhound Gang's ' Ballad of Chasey Lain' and  Danko Jones and then slowed down for a while with 'Plaza'  by Cold Chisel, Ian Moss demonstrating once again what a brilliant guitarist he is.  We stayed slow for a ballad by LA Guns and then went to SA's finest in the form of Johnathan Martin with 'Highway to the Sun'.  As always it was a jol, hope you enjoy it.

Artists featured:  Boston, Steel Panther, Bernie Tormè, ACDC, Van Halen, Foo Fighters, Dave Hause, Kid Rock, Rage Against the Machine, Ricky Warwick, Smith / Kotzen, The Damned, Stiff Little Fingers, Dead Kennedys, Guns 'n'  Roses, John Mellencamp, Danko Jones, The Pretty reckless, Amanda Palmer, Hatebreed, W.A.S.P., System of a Down, Rammstein, James Reyne, Jimmy Barnes, Mammoth WVH, Twisted Sister, Roan Ash, Valiant Swart, Halford, Scorpions, Fleetwood Mac, Gov't Mule, The Distillers, Iggy & the Stooges, Megadeth, Accept, Buckcherry, Marilyn Manson

There is a lot of new stuff out so we caught up with some of it, more of Alice Cooper's latest Detroit Stories, Walking Papers'  The Light Below, and a track off the brand new Smith / Kotzen album which gets released about 8 hours after this show.  The highlight for me was the new Myles Kennedy track, album to be released in May, the pre-release single 'Ides of March' is amazing, guitar work all over it, I think Myles is going to deliver an amazing album here.  

The show had a number of couplings two tracks about crying, two tracks by guys called Tom, two tracks called Hold On, the usual things we do.  I enjoyed the Punk part of the show, good to hear the Jam with Going Underground and a first time for Gary Numan.  As usual, we ran out of time.  

Artists featured:  Leslie West, Ace Frehley, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Motörhead, Michael Monroe, Chickenfoot, Jimmy Barnes, Alice Cooper, Texas Hippie Coalition, Audioslave, Seether, The Jam, Gary Numan, Sex Pistols, Warrior Soul, Machine Head, Guns 'n'  Roses, Halestorm, Danko Jones, Live, 12th Avenue, The Color Blew, Myles Kennedy, Smith / Kotzen, Judas Priest. Walking Papers, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Tom Keifer, Kid Rock, Zakk Wylde, Dan Patlansky, Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Badlands, Avenged Sevenfold.

We had a mellow start for a change with Rainbow and ' Catch the Rainbow' and then followed with The Wizard, the 1972 classic from Uriah Heep.  After that, it got a bit rowdier with Q5 and Slash.  It was great to hear Tank and Savage, the two invoking some good early '80's NWOBHM memories.  We paid tribute to Brisbane as Brissie has overtaken everyone as the greatest supporters of TSORR.   I am deeply grateful for the support.  In deference, we played Airbourne and The Screaming Jets and then later we some Jimmy Barnes and The Lazy's.  

From there we went all over the place from The Police to Kreator, Marianne Faithful to W.A.S.P, and then some SA rarities in the form of Kobus! and Blue Scream.  There was plenty of punk with Anti-Flags 'Wake Up!' and The Distillers with L.A. Girl, which makes it about 4 weeks in a row of the wonderful Brody Dalle.  There was a nice little bit of nostalgia where we took in 3 tracks from albums released in 2006, I had good memories of MTV days at between 4 and 6 in the morning.   The highlight for me was Rammstein with 'Mehr' and Alice Cooper's new track 'Hanging By a Thread', I enjoyed the Little Steven track as well.

There was plenty to get your teeth into, punk from UK Subs, Ramones and the Clash, classics from ACDC, Megadeth and Black Sabbath, metal from Parkway Drive, Iced Earth and Pantera, and South African stuff from LA Cobra, Deadline, Rasskopleef! and The Uninvited.  Raaskopleef! was a first not only for TSORR but for radio in general.  It's a sort of cult band formed in Wellington in the Western Cape and this particular track called Elektrisiteit is a translation of Hunter S. Thompson's essay ' Electricity' .   Hearing Bon Jovi's 'You Give Love a Bad Name' again was great, it has been ages, great guitar work from Richie Sambora, no wonder they got so huge.  Other than that, a nice melancholy bit in the middle featuring Powderfinger, Hinder, Linkin Park, and Don Henley, and then we smashed it all up with 'Crazy Bitch' by Buckcherry, good times indeed.

2021 is kicking off with some good new releases, other than the Dead Daisies there is a new Michael Schenker Group and a new The Pretty Reckless.  The MSG is getting excellent reviews from the rock press and The Pretty Reckless is getting rave reviews from me.  The track played off the new Pretty Reckless was 'And So It Went' featuring Tom Morello.  We stayed with Tom and caught 'Exploder' by Audioslave. Last week's dabble into prog continued with some more Porcupine Tree and Forty Six & 2 by Tool.  

You should find a lot to get your teeth into.  Later in the show, I did alert listeners to the fact that I am on Day 3 of testing positive for Covid as it explained a few glaring balls-ups. I have left the show as it is in the interest of accuracy.  There are one or two long pauses and memory lapses that can only be attributed to what I call Covid brain.  If you have had it you will know.  I found a few instances where the song ended and for a few seconds I couldn't remember how to play the next one.  I am sure that next week's show will be a bit sharper.

A highlight for me was Porcupine Tree's Radioactive Toy, Steven Wilson at his best in my opinion.  I also enjoyed the contrast of going from Mastodon to Neil Young.   While overseas I saw a most interesting documentary about Suzi Quatro so we listened to her and also to Lita Ford as I have just finished her book Living Like a Runaway.  There is some hectic stuff in that book.  My view of Tony Iommi took a hit I have to say.   I played a track off the new Foo Fighters and another off Too mean to Die, Accepts' latest album. 

All in all, it was a bit different to normal, no SA stuff at all which is a first and only one Aussie band.  This wasn't planned, I just didn't get a chance to review the show before I went on air so I will fix that next week.  

Artists featured:  Thin Lizzy, ACDC, Bad Company, Adrenaline Mob, Royal Blood, Voices of Extreme, Great White, Slaughter, UFO, Desperado, Marilyn Manson, Halestorm, Lita Ford, The Raven Age, Suzi Quatro, The Sweet, Mastodon, Neil Young, David Bowie, The Damned, Stiff Little Fingers, Porcupine Tree, Alice in Chains, Shinedown, Kiss, Five Finger Death Punch, The Rolling Stones, Metallica, White Wizzard, Night Ranger, Accept, Foo Fighters, Nashville Pussy, Volbeat, Barry McGuire

We ran through a lot of 80’s metal;  Ratt, Mr Big, Skid Row, Lita Ford, Tygers of Pan Tang, Slaughter, and Keel and we checked out 70s giants The Sweet and the inimitable Ted Nugent.  The punk section was covered by the Sex Pistols and The Stranglers and Aussies were represented by Wolfmother, Cold Chisel, and The Lazys.  Special mention here for Cold Chisel, I played Bal-A-Versailles and the feedback was instant, “what a great track”!  Usually, I will get a comment about a song but literally, immediately, 4 comments came in about it.  Another crowd-pleaser was SA’s own The Black Cat Bones with ‘Don’t Wake the Scarecrow', again, to all-round approval, it’s a song that raises goosebumps every time.   

Other than that we checked out the remarkable rebranding and rebuilding of the career of Ron Keel and we sorted out the 21 hours, minutes, and seconds thing by being able to say that at the exact time we were listening to The Story of Rock and Roll Radio Show and being blasted by a suitable bit of metal which was fitting in many ways.

It felt like a really good mix of lesser-known bands with the megastars, we had big names like Rammstein, Megadeth, Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin, and ZZ Top along with Newsted, Massive Wagons, Adrenaline Mob, Hatebreed, Phil Campbell, and The Hitchers.  Highlights for me were the bit of reminiscence with Rose Tattoo and Guns 'n' Roses as well as celebrating my current love affair with Parkway drive.  Check out Viva The Underdogs it is a spectacular documentary.  

For some reason it was a very Aussie heavy show, we hit 6 Aussie bands, Cold Chisel, Rose Tattoo, The Screaming Jets (that was fun, I played F.R.C. which I doubt gets a lot of radio play :-) ) The Lazys, Parkway Drive, and of course ACDC.  SA was represented by The Diamond Dogs and the amazing Johnathan Martin off his The Infinite Highway album.  All in all a great show.

We spent a bit of time around 1990 – 1993 with L.A. Guns, Dangerous Toys, and Aerosmith and then took in some classic ACDC and Rammstein before checking out some Shinedown by request and some vintage Soundgarden.  Newish stuff was covered in the form of Burning Witches, 5 ladies out of Switzerland, and Voice of Extreme from their 2018 album Mach III.

 Highlights for me were listening to Metallica’s ‘The Day That Never Comes’ and Megadeth with ‘This Was My Life’.  Megadeth are soon to feature on the Rock Review so watch out for that.  Local rock was ably taken care of by Jasper Dan, The Burning, and L.A. Cobra.  Cold Chisel and Airbourne were the Aussie representatives and for the rest, it was a pretty even mix of UK and USA bands.  I have rediscovered The Wild Life by Slaughter, which went down well as did the wonderful contrast between Testament and Dire Straits.  I am also really digging Thundermother.

All of the albums featured in this episode have been played on TSORR through the year, I bought 46 albums released in 2020, and obviously, with a 3-hour show, I had to prune it quite drastically.  We got to hear some standout lesser-known artists; Catalano, Thundermother, Those Damn Crows, All Them Witches some excellent SA releases from Agro, Deadline, Fokofpolisiekar, and Johnathan Martin.  Johnathan’s album Into the Nebulous Night is my favourite SA release of 2020 and I urge you to buy it.  

I also paid tribute to some of those we lost this year; Eddie Van Halen, Leslie West, Dave Greenfield, Neil Peart, and Bob Kulick.  Overall, I reckon it’s a pretty good summary of a year that was very good musically.

Artists featured:  Guns ‘n’ Roses, Catalano, Those Damn Crows, Biff Byford, Thundermother, ACDC, Ozzy Osbourne, Rush, Axel Rudi Pell, Dirty Shirley, Rainbow, Onslaught, Cirith Ungol, Vandenberg, Blue Öyster Cult, Philip Sayce, Joe Bonamassa, Agro, Deadline, Def Leppard, Paul Stanley, Heathen, Sepultura, Johnathan Martin, Piet Botha & Jack Hammer, Pirates of Radio, Bush, Seether, Marilyn Manson, Annihilator, All Them Witches, Bruce Springsteen, Fokofpolisiekar, The Stranglers, Van Halen, Mammoth WVH, Five Finger Death Punch & Leslie West

The show kicked off with some Whiskey Myers and then hit stuff like Slash, Ozzy Osbourne, and Animal Drive.  My daughter was in the house and she is a big part of why TSORR exists as both a book and a Radio Show so I played a couple of tracks and explained how all of this came about.  Kiss - Destroyer, John Paul Young's Yesterday's Hero, and The Boomtown Rats' masterpiece the Fine Art of Surfacing, all have a special bearing on the show as do Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and The Stranglers.

There was a short tribute to Leslie West, a giant of a man both physically and as a guitarist.  He sadly passed away last night (23 Dec) and so, it was fitting that we played 'Legend' off his Unusual Suspects album.  Leslie's tone and feel were indeed extraordinary and he will be missed.  That's Leslie in this episode's thumbnail for those who may not be familiar with the man (perish the thought).

Highlights for me included Tom Petty with 'Have Love Will Travel', Machine Head with Bastards, Tom Waits with Mr. Siegal, and Rammstein with Deutschland.  

Artists featured:  Whiskey Myers, Slash, Quiet Riot, The Lazys, Animal Drive!, ACDC, Ozzy Osbourne, Arapaho, POD, Rammstein, System of a Down, Australian Crawl, Kiss, John Paul Young, Sixx AM, Mötley Crüe, The Boomtown Rats, The Stranglers, The Clash, Seether, Clutch, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dire Straits, Tom Petty, Leslie West, the Killers, The Longshot, Cold Chisel, the Mayfield Four, Machine Head, Megadeth, Rival Sons, Airbourne, Prime Circle, Bad Company, Tom Waits, Iced Earth, Halestorm, Tesla & Slade.

We kicked off with a few lesser-known bands, Drowning Pool, Burning Rain, The Answer, and Baton Rouge before cracking in with some Bon Scott era ACDC.  We continued in that vein with a good selection of the music you expect from the show: Tool, Kid Rock, Guns 'n' Roses, Judas Priest, Joe Bonamassa, Megadeth, and many more rock giants of our age.  I spent a bit of time on the SA stuff and specifically on friends and supporters of Rebel Rock Radio, The Burning, The Color Blew, and Deadline who were all present at the South African Metal Music Awards ceremony at the Fokof Bar on Sunday the 13th Dec.  We took a listen to all 3 and it's clear that SA metal is alive and kicking.  We also took a listen to Agro and we will play some more from all these guys on the final TSORR for 2020 on 31 Dec.  Gary Clarke Jr made a return to the show as did Biters and it was really cool to listen to Gene and Paul back to back from their solo albums.  

Artists featured:  Drowning Pool, The Answer, Baton Rouge, Burning Rain, ACDC, Tool, Kid Rock, Testament, Guns 'n' Roses, Mark Haze, Joe Bonamassa, Gary Clarke Jr, Megadeth, Theory of a Deadman, The Burning, Deadline, The Color Blew, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Loverboy, Mötley Crüe, Joe Jackson, The Offspring, Biters, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Oasis, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Wolfmother, Deep Purple, Foo Fighters, In Flames, Avenged Sevenfold, Agro, The Gaslight Anthem, Anti-Flag & The Uninvited

I thoroughly enjoyed Gov’t Mule's cover of Pink Floyd’s ‘Time’, his version of Dave Gilmore’s solo is perfection.    Asking Alexandria’s ‘Not the American Average’ was brutal, in a good way, and there was a nice little link with Metallica, Volbeat, and Avenged Sevenfold one after the other.  The point was made that those 3 bands toured a lot together in 2019 and would have continued if the Covid thing hadn’t happened.

The show goes live at 7 o'Clock so it was fitting that we started with The Quireboys and their opening track off A Little Bit of What You Fancy called 7 o'Clock, then we had a bit of Kid Rock and some Motörhead.  We were all over the place going as heavy as Parkway Drive and as light as Manfred Mann.  It looks like it was the first-ever show without an Aussie band, that wasn’t intentional it just worked out that way.  We also only had 3 SA bands which was also unusual, so in general, this show is a bit different.  It was Ozzy Osbourne’s birthday so we said hi to him.  I really enjoyed Edguy’s little dig at the record industry called ‘Life of a Bonus Track’.  It’s a bit of fun that they recorded in a couple of minutes to satisfy some contractual commitment and it’s funny and clever.  I also took the gap to hit you with Steel Panther’s Death to All But Metal’’  and forgot to warn listeners about that little gem.  If anyone is offended then I have to say they are probably listening to the wrong radio show J.  Check out the video to that track in the website blog section.     

The highlight for me was a tip of the hat to Wolfgang Van Halen and the way he is handling the death of his much-loved father Edward.  We played his track ‘Distance’ and then took a listen to the great man himself with a track called Stay Frosty.  Another personal highlight was realizing how cool the vocal by Dave Matthews is on The Rolling Stones track Memory Motel.  Other than that there was the usual fare, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, W.A.S.P.  you know the drill.  Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth), Cliff Burton’s Base solo Part I was played to remind you that the next Rock Review I do will feature the mighty Metallica.  The answer to the inaugural TSORR eclectic thread puzzle was Nita Strauss, I’ll tell you why next week.  There are 3 connections to Ms. Strauss in S3E16.

The show was great, we heard a lot of good SA rock with the Burning and L.A. Cobra showing that SA Rock is alive and kicking.  Later on, we took a listen to The Fismits, featuring Rebel Rock Radio’s very own Mark Biaggio on guitar and vocals with a track called ‘Questions’.  We also heard The Color Blew and toward the end of the show Johnathan Martin (happy birthday brother) and SA Metal maniacs Deadline.  The guitar work in Deadline is just so perfect, love those solo’s, I referred to the album as 'Cathedral' instead of Cathedral Point so apologies for that guys.  We had Danko Jones, Seether, Marilyn Manson, and an absolutely fantastic track by The Pretty Reckless.  We played a few songs for America (Ugly Kid Joe and Motörhead)  because, I am so grateful to the US for all the amazing music over the last 50 years, it doesn’t really matter who runs it as long as the world gets its rock and roll.   

One of the highlights of the show for me was Queen with 'The Prophets Song' off A Night at the Opera.  I made mention of the fact that it doesn’t get a look in because of that other long song on the album but it’s well deserving of some airtime.  It still sounds fantastic 45 years later.  The other highlight was having a good friend listening in and playing a couple of road-related tracks (Buckcherry's 'Ridin'' and Audioslave's 'I Am the Highway')  in memory of some of the great music we have listened to on roads around the country.  These are the type of songs that form the backbone of The Story of Rock and Roll.  'You Make Me Want To Die' by The Pretty Reckless and 'Little Secret' by Black Country Communion both stood out as did show opener 'Cold Sweat' by Thin Lizzy.

]]> TSORR Season 3 Episode 13 got off to a not so great start on 12 Nov 2020.  It’s funny because I am reading Matthew McConaughey’s book Greenlights and that is exactly what I didn’t get, the show said ‘connected’ but no green light so I had to start again.  You won’t hear that because I have cut it out but I’m just telling you for interest sake and to explain the reference to an aborted start.  After that, it was plain sailing all the way other than some niggle with the microphone clipping a bit, but it’s only on the first two bits of chatter.     

The show was great, we heard a lot of good SA rock with the Burning and L.A. Cobra showing that SA Rock is alive and kicking.  Later on, we took a listen to The Fismits, featuring Rebel Rock Radio’s very own Mark Biaggio on guitar and vocals with a track called ‘Questions’.  We also heard The Color Blew and toward the end of the show Johnathan Martin (happy birthday brother) and SA Metal maniacs Deadline.  The guitar work in Deadline is just so perfect, love those solo’s, I referred to the album as 'Cathedral' instead of Cathedral Point so apologies for that guys.  We had Danko Jones, Seether, Marilyn Manson, and an absolutely fantastic track by The Pretty Reckless.  We played a few songs for America (Ugly Kid Joe and Motörhead)  because, I am so grateful to the US for all the amazing music over the last 50 years, it doesn’t really matter who runs it as long as the world gets its rock and roll.

The purely musical first third of the show featured amongst others, Judas Priest, Kadavar, Ted Nugent, The Rolling Stones and then a chilled Tom Petty doing ‘Turn This Car Around’.  Arapaho's 'Dump Truck' marks the point where the system is rebooted and after that, I have a microphone and can talk my usual kak.  Highlights of the second part of the show for me were Jo’burg Metal Masters Sunken State featuring the drumming of one Pete Pistorius ex of The Uninvited with a track called ‘Merchants of Time’.  Another highlight was a Joe Cockers version of Leonard Cohen’s wonderful ‘First We Take Manhattan’. 

All in all, it was an extremely difficult show to deal with but, which turned out OK in the end.  South Africa was represented by Fokofpolisiekar, Aking, Sunken State, Arapaho & Dan Patlansky, Aussie by ACDC, and The Lazy’s who are fast becoming a TSORR staple, Metal by Sunken State, Kreator and Slayer and the old guard by Alice Cooper and the Rolling Stones.   Anyway job done, catch you next week.

It was a very lively show with plenty of people chatting on the Discord server and on Whatsapp.  We kicked off with 'Majestic' the traditional Journey opener but instead of more Journey, we cracked on with Metallica and Dio.  I started the local stuff early with another track off Johnathan Martin's amazing album Into The Nebulous Night.  Following up with Jack Hammer just made sense.  Punk happened in the form of The Stranglers and The Clash and there was plenty of classic metal and rock such as Iron maiden with 'The Trooper' and Judas priest with 'Hell Bent For Leather'.

The highlight for me was Bruce Springsteen with 'If I Was the Priest', as I said he's not called The Boss for nothing.  We also learned how to pronounce Bonamassa and took a listen to a track off his new album called 'Royal Tea'.   All in all, it was good fun and we had a lot of laughs.  Oh P.S. if any of you eve read this I'd like to know because I am not sure if I am wasting my time :-)

We took a listen to Bruce Springsteen’s new track ‘Ghosts’ for the second time in 3 weeks just because it is so good.  It’s definitely my song of the year, impossible to be in a bad mood when listening to that little bit of upliftment.  The Punk was taken care of by The Damned and The Exploited with a bit of Billy Bragg and The Boomtown Rats thrown in for good measure.  The Grunge part was really cool with ‘Put You Down’ off Alice in Chains’ debut album Facelift.  We followed with yet another track off Redux, The Brendon O’Brien remix of Pearl Jam’s masterpiece Ten.  A highlight for me was Temple of the Dog ‘s ‘Wooden Jesus’ Chris Cornell was amazing on that. 

We checked out the brand new Blue Öyster Cult which is great and the new Heathen and then we slapped in some Francois Van Coke and finished off with Kid Rocks’ Trucker Anthem.   I'd had a hell of a week as I mentioned a few times and I invented 'Bungle Time and gave it a theme song, see if you can relate :-)  Go to The Story of Rock and Roll on Facebook for any comments about that.

We check out some Twisted Sister and some Volbeat and a couple of lesser-known bands like Austin Gold, Axel Rudi Pell, Bullets & Octane, and The Lazy's.  The Lazy's out of Aus are a great band, check them out.  I played another track off the Brendan O'Brien remix of Pearl Jam's Ten and it sounds fantastic, check out the guitars in that.

The brand new EP from Fokofpolisiekar got an airing and it's great.  The highlight of the show for me was an old track by No Friends of Harry called Make My Day, requested but a listener who said it makes him want to down a warm Black Label quart and attack your neighbours with an empty bottle.  I understood the moment I played it :-).  There was a lot of good stuff on the show so best you just listen to it, but remember not to adjust for the low volume in the beginning.

As I said the idea was to celebrate Eddie and rock and roll and not to get fucking morbid so we had some Judas Priest and Accept and then hit the new tracks.  ACDC have a new release coming up and the first track ‘Shot in the Dark’ was released yesterday at 12h00 so we played that and then the brand new Bruce Springsteen track called ‘Ghosts’.  There was so much good stuff it’s hard to know where to start, we had lesser-known bands like Rhino Bucket, The Answer and The Horrible Crowes, we had South African music from The Fismits, The Black Cat Bones, Pilgrim South, Piet Botha & Valiant Swart.  We played a fair amount of blues with Kenny Wayne Shepherd, SA blues god Dan Patlansky and Stevie Ray Vaughan’s version of Voodoo Chile. 

Punk was taken care of by The Professionals and Anti-Flag, Australia by Rose Tattoo, the heavy stuff by Sepultura.  Another notable mention is the Brendon O’Brien remix of Pearl Jam’s classic album Ten.  It simply called Ten (Redux) and it’s incredible, it just brings the guitars to life.  We’ll be playing everything off it in the next few weeks.  We ended off pretty much-saying cheers to Eddie with ‘Little Dreamer’ because that’s what he did, he turned a world of young guitar urchins into little dreamers and because of him so many people really got stuck into this instrument.  The show closed with the sobering sounds of Avenged Sevenfold with ‘Seize the Day’, Ozzy’s ‘Under the Graveyard’ and finally cheers to Ed the way he would have wanted it, he would have wanted us to ‘Dance The Night Away’.

The show had a fairly mellow start with some classic ACDC, Black Sabbath, and Def Leppard, we followed that with a bit of Coheed and Cambria and their track 'Feathers' which has a very odd video you should check out on the blog page of The Story of Rock and Roll website.  We said cheers to September with CrashCarBurn and stayed local with Johnathan Martin of his Highway Infinity 1996 - 2016 album. Dog Detachments 'The Last Laugh' was a highlight for me and then it was time to put the kids away while Metallica hammered out Antinowhere Leagues, filthy classic 'So What?'.  No question that Metallica do it better.  Patti Smith made a TSORR debut with 'Rock 'n' Roll Nigger off her Easter album, nice to hear that again.

We hit some local SA metal with Deadline and Agro who both put out great albums in 2020 and prevented the year from being a total write-off.  Then we went bluesy with Rory Gallagher and Free and ballady with Keel.  There is something for everyone here.  Check it out.

Technically this is the best show recorded since leaving Mix 93.8.  The microphone volume is finally at the right level and there were no glitches.  The show kicked off with 'The Black Parade' by My Chemical Romance and a bit of Airbourne.  The punk portion of the show was covered by The Sex Pistols, the Damned, and The Clash and for once we didn't have anything particularly heavy.  The highlight for me was playing 'Ow, My Tiny Heart' by Don Babylon.  It was used briefly on the TV series Billions but it's actually a 9-minute song which deserved an airing.  Kudos to Don for not bowing to pressure and shortening it for the sake of a killer chorus.  Thanks to everyone who tuned in and if you have any comments or questions find me on The Story of Rock and Roll Facebook page or on the website.

 New releases included the brand new Marilyn Manson with the title track of his album We Are Chaos and another track from Seether’s latest album Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum called ‘Pride Before The Fall’.  We had Punk with the Damned and Stiff Little Fingers, we had some Pixies and we nailed the metal with Children of Bodom and vintage Metallica and Megadeth.  The grunge was ably handled by Alice in Chains and the Stone Temple pilots and Johnathan Martin and The Univited took care of South Africa.  We were a bit light on the local stuff this week so expect a double dose next week.  There was a little moment of self-indulgence where I said goodbye to little Libby a dearly loved family Italian Greyhound who left this earth on Monday.  Asking Alexandria said the words in ‘Dedication’ and Zakk Wylde played a moving solo in ‘The King’.    All in all one of the best episodes in a long time I believe, see for yourself.

Cobra, and The Black Cat Bones.  L.A. Cobra’s ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Pretoria’ was a lot of fun.     

 

It took a while to get to the heavy stuff but we finally took a listen to a track off L’ Enfant Sauvage by Gojira and then close to the end of the show we had Machine Head with A Nation on Fire which felt pretty apt right now.  There were lots of neat little pairings throughout the show; Black Star Riders with Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin with Greta Van Fleet & Slash with Alter Bridge.  I enjoyed taking in a blast from the SA past with ‘The Man in My Shoes’ by Stringray and Piet Botha always sounds fantastic with his vicious attack on the way things were in ‘Goeienag Generaal’.

 

There was plenty of support from listeners and Pages Pub in Benoni, hopefully, we’ll get more pubs around the world making Rebel Rock Radio their permanent Station.  The highlight of the show was realizing that exceeding the official TSORR timeslot and having the broadcast link drop at exactly 22h00 doesn’t mean the show has to stop and that podcast listeners can get a secret bonus track not heard on the live show.  Kid Rock pioneered the way with ‘Devil Without a Cause’.

There are obvious advantages here, firstly you get an extra hour, secondly I am part of a really good team, thirdly I have pretty much no restrictions on what I say or play.  My commitment is to bring you the best music in the world and to fly the rock and metal flag until the day I die.

The show starts in the middle of Judas Priest with Saints in Hell, there is no Dr Who intro and the opening track Swamp Devil by Circus of Power didn't make the recording.  It's done from home with a brand new set-up including new headphones and mic.  The mic is still not right but its close now, bear with me, you are here for the music anyway I am sure.  Don't adjust your set when there are one or two minor silences while I adjust to the new desk.  


I can't control the end of the show, if I finish early its silence if I run over it cuts me at 10 sharp.  Apologies to The Rolling Stones who were the first victims of that.  There was a lot of good stuff on the show Black Sabbath back to back with Ozzy Osbourne, Van Halen back to back with Chickenfoot, lots of that sort of thing.  We had Seether and Mott the Hoople, some Death Angel and some Ugly Kid Joe.  Anyway check it out, it marks the beginning of an exciting time.  System of a Down with Violent Pornograpy was another good one to hear.  

Artists featured:  Mott The Hoople, Seether, Death Angel, Judas Priest, Hell Yeah, Ozzy Osbourne, Sheryl Crow, Charlie Sexton, Skid Row, Desolation Angel, Leslie West, Dirty Honey, The Stranglers, Guns 'n' Roses, Black Sabbath, Pirates of Radio, Foo Fighters, Red Dragon Cartel, Fokofpolisiekar, The Offspring, The Wildhearts, Van Halen, Palaye Royale, Cold Chisel, Stiff Little Fingers, Dirty Shirley, The Defiants, Government Car, Deadline, Chickenfoot, Damn Yankees, Anti-Flag, System of a Down, Seether, Desolation Angels, The Gaslight Anthem, Ugly Kid Joe, The Rolling Stones

The show kicked off with Joe Walsh and not the Dr Who theme and that is because just getting through the gateway onto the airwaves was difficult.  We got to a messy intro after Life's Been Good. The show was recorded between 16h00 and 18h00 from my office in Chloorkop and being in a drive time slot I couldn't resist some driving music in the form of Radar Love and Freewheel Burning courtesy of Golden Earring and Judas Priest respectively,  The mic is a real challenge and it there is no comparison to the Mix FM mic quality.  Live with that please and I will improve it as the weeks go on.  The show is a bit short because the beginning was late and there were a lot of dropouts due to WiFi issues.  In the end, I had to broadcast the whole fucking thing using my phone as a hotspot.  We got in some Rammstein and a bit of Megadeth specially dedicated to the government with This Day We Fight.  The highlight for me was Rock Show by Halestorm.  The show also wasn't as heavy as normal and had a fairly soft landing with The Killers and We Are Augustines but we still got in some W.A.S.P and some Maiden, so do not despair.  Great things are happening and announcements are imminent.    

Artists featured:  Kid Rock, ACDC, Judas Priest, Johnathan Martin, Golden Earring, Megadeth, The Killers, Van Coke Kartel, Rammstein, Airbourne, W.A.S.P., Iron Maiden, The Clash, Halestorm, Rancid, The Beatles, Reef, Ivan Ivankovic, The Gaslight Anthem, Joe Walsh, Gary Moore, Guns 'n' Roses, We Are Augustines and Coheed & Cambria

You should find plenty to get your teeth into.  We kicked off with a great Van Halen track and in no particular order, some Accept, Marilyn Manson, ACDC, and Dio.  I thoroughly enjoyed finally getting the chance to play some Steel Panther.  They are way too foul-mouthed for radio so this was a perfect opportunity to give uber guitarist Satchel a chance to smash a few solos.  We took a listen to Tiger Woods, a real classic. 

A highlight for me was Parkway Drive and Arch Enemy back to back with a seriously brutal twosome in the form of 'Crushed' and 'The First Day in Hell'.  It calmed down a bit with some Springsteen and some Tom Petty.  It's the first time we have had anything off Born In the USA.  It hasn't aged as well as the Tom Petty which was taken from Live Anthology, a 48 track live compilation spanning 27 years.  The big thing about this show is that I have recovered my CD's which have been in storage for a good couple of years.  Going through them I am finding plenty of hidden gems that are making their way onto the show.  A few examples included a track by The Diamond Dogs, the best South African band to never get discovered, and a stunning cover of 'Burning For You', nicely done by Iced Earth.  Oh and don't forget to check out the Johnathan Martin track, off Into the Nebulous Night, the album is a masterpiece.

Highlights of the show for me were hearing The Stranglers 'Bring on the Nubiles' and The Sex Pistols with 'Bodies' back to back to remind us just what UK Punk was all about.  Here's to 1977.  Another highlight for me was giving Biff Byfords 7 min long epic Throw Down the Sword a spin.  If you have any comments of constructive feedback let me know on the TSORR FaceBook page, cheers until next week.

As I mention in the intro it does however mean that the show now gets a bit more sweary, a bit more political and a bit more opinionated, the song, however, remains the same.  Anyway see what you think.

As shows go this one had a pretty good mix of everything, we went back to 1967 for some Jimi Hendrix and also checked out what Leslie West sounded like in Mountain back in 1971 with Nantucket Sleighride, an often neglected rock classic.  There was a nice little bit of nostalgia with The Quireboys and The Dogs D’Amour and the idea of preparing for TSORR 30 years ago.  ACDC and Jimmy Barnes took care of the Australian music and Blue Scream and Fokofpolisiekar did the honours for local content.  Pop Evil made their TSORR debut with an awesome track called 100 in a 55 and then we were into the dying 15 min leading up to what I considered to be the highlight of the show i.e. playing you the track that I have been addicted to throughout lockdown, Killswitch Engage with Bite the Hand That Feeds.  I didn’t dedicate it to Jackson, my beloved Border Collie but I could well have J

]]> Season 2, Episode 13 of The Story of Rock and Roll Radio Show took place at midnight on 3 July 2020.  It kicked off with the stated intent of getting this place Hotter Than Hell.  I think we succeeded but you will have to be the judge.  Metallica set a blistering pace with a live version of Hit the Lights off Hard-Wired to Self-Destruct.  It was pretty much all fast, driving, rock and roll through until we took a brief Punk break with The Jam and The Stranglers.  I say Punk lightly because both bands are prisoners of the genre rather than true examples of the idiosyncrasies of Punk.  That being said it set us up nicely for 11 minutes of Judas Priest featuring Richie Faulkner’s guitar solo at Wacken in 2016. 

As shows go this one had a pretty good mix of everything, we went back to 1967 for some Jimi Hendrix and also checked out what Leslie West sounded like in Mountain back in 1971 with Nantucket Sleighride, an often neglected rock classic.  There was a nice little bit of nostalgia with The Quireboys and The Dogs D’Amour and the idea of preparing for TSORR 30 years ago.  ACDC and Jimmy Barnes took care of the Australian music and Blue Scream and Fokofpolisiekar did the honours for local content.  Pop Evil made their TSORR debut with an awesome track called 100 in a 55 and then we were into the dying 15 min leading up to what I considered to be the highlight of the show i.e. playing you the track that I have been addicted to throughout lockdown, Killswitch Engage with Bite the Hand That Feeds.  I didn’t dedicate it to Jackson, my beloved Border Collie but I could well have J

Highlights of the show included Marilyn Manson’s cover of ‘You’re So Vain’ and new releases by Catalano and Axel Rudi Pell.  The Axel Rudi Pell is so good one listener suggested “Axel for President” and that got full TSORR endorsement.  I was fortunate enough to have been given a preview of ‘Woman and the Pouring Rain’ off Johnathan Martin’s forthcoming release Into the Nebulous Night by the man himself.  Playing this required some wizardry on the desk that initially didn’t work.  In the spirit of authentic radio, the confusion stands and after an aborted attempt, the track is played after Neil Young.  It sounds incredible, check it out.   

One of the sadder things that happened during lockdown was the passing away of Dave Greenfield, legendary keyboard player for The Stranglers.  We said cheers to Dave by playing the almost 8-minute closing track off Rattus Norvegicus ‘Down in the Sewer’.  It was a fitting send-off for a wonderful musician.  After that, we got back to business with some Overkill and My Chemical Romance.  We checked out a track off another track from F8 the latest FFDP album and easily one of the best releases this year.  

 SA metal stalwarts Agro released The Bitter End while we were off-air so it was a huge pleasure to unleash the beautiful fury of that album on you all.  Clifford Crabb and the lads have created a real work of art here.  It got heavy again with machine Head and then rocky with The Lazy’s and I closed out the show with a track by The Fismits called Questions.  I love it.

The show started off with Led Zeppelin off Led Zep II, recorded back in 1969 it sounded amazing, it hasn’t aged at all.  Then it was time for some Iron Maiden and Ozzy Osbourne.  The local music got in early on this show, 5 songs in and we already had Springbok Nude Girls with ‘Bubble-gum On My Boots’ and from there we took a listen to ‘London Lady’ by The Stranglers.  There is no doubt that The Stranglers and Stiff Little Fingers are two of the most popular bands with TSORR listeners.  Anything off Rattus Norvegicus gets the WhatsApp line raving instantly.  

 

One of the highlights of the show was Marilyn Manson into Slayer, which worked out brilliantly.  Another one was checking out the breakdown at 2:20 into The Attitude by Annihilator.  Their new album Ballistic Sadistic is the Best Metal album of the year so far and it’s going to be pretty hard to beat.  I struggled to find something for this week’s Songs Greater than Seven Minutes feature, nothing seemed to fit and I was ping-ponging between Dire Straits Telegraph Road and Opeth The Drapery Falls and couldn’t get a good feeling so I settled for something slightly under 7 minutes in the form of Cradle of Filth with Her Ghost In the Fog, clocking in 6:25.  Other than that it was pretty much what you would expect from the show, except near the end I crammed it a whole lot of 3 min songs: Jet, The Offspring, Linkin Park, Skid Row, Reef, The Stones, and Motörhead, which pushed this episode to the top of the pile when it comes to number of songs played in a show.

Boston’s Cool The Engines still sounds super fresh 34 years later and showcased what a genius Boston mastermind Tom Scholtz really is.  The brand new music was ably represented by the voice of Saxon, Biff Byford off his first-ever solo album.  He’s got Fredrick Akersson from Opeth doing the guitar work and has Phil Campbell, ex of Motörhead – as if that needs to be said - guesting on the album.  It sounds great, glad he’s done it.  We followed up with a bit of Joe Jackson just to mix it up a bit and then after some blues rock courtesy of the amazing Rory Gallagher and some Southern Rock courtesy of Whiskey Myers.  After that, we got seriously heavy with In Flames and Gojira.  It’s the first time for Gojira on TSORR, they are quite amazing.  The 7 Minute plus feature this week was filled by The mighty Judas Priest performing Beyond the Realms of Death live off the Battle Cry album.  It is and will always be one of the greatest songs ever recorded.   

We hit the downhill run after that and mellowed it out with Ozzy and Elton John doing the tile Track of Ozzy’s brand new album, Ordinary Man.  I love the album, Ozzy is one of my guys, he never disappoints.  I am particularly impressed with the quality of the songwriting.  I do have to say, and it’s my personal viewpoint, but both tracks that have the involvement of Post Malone are garbage and at least in this modern day you can delete them rather than have them destroy your album.  The local corner was represented once again by Johnathan Martin, who makes his fourth consecutive appearance on TSORR Radio Show, 12th Avenue, and Van Coke Kartel.  Check out the special bonus track after the show ends especially dedicated to Graeme in Brisbane in recognition of a conversation we had about 15 years ago.

The show started with Mercyful Fate out of Denmark and a track called ‘Desecration of Souls’, I don’t want to say it’s a first but it is certainly not common to hear Mercyful Fate on the radio.  They were a huge influence Metallica and can stand proudly as having a major role in starting the thrash wave that engulfed the world in around 1983.  We checked out some Kiss and then a bit more thrash in the form of Overkill with a track called ‘Electric Rattlesnake’ especially for Valeska who had a birthday this week.  We featured a rare little gem by an Aussie band called Fast Track off an EP I bought at a gig in Perth in 2010, I am pretty sure they are long gone now.  It was a night for playing bands that don’t often get airplay on the show with booth Tool and Faith No More getting a look in.  Our very own Johnathan Martin scored the much-coveted TSORR hat trick, with his 3rd appearance in 3 consecutive weeks.  We took a listen to his track ‘April’ off The Highway Infinity album.  The Midnight 7-plus feature, the one where we play a song that goes longer than 7 minutes, featured Metallica with ‘Master of Puppets’.  It sounded phenomenal, goosebumps all the way.

 

We caught another one of those TSORR theme songs, this one in the form of Night Wolf by Krokus and then checked out two of SA’s finest back to back with Black Bone Nation and The Color Blew.  The rock music is alive and well in South Africa and just needs a lot of support, the bands are gigging and the music is available on-line and at gigs, check them out.  Hopefully some of the shows international listeners will check out these great bands we have.  We got into the final straight and blasted our way to the finishing line with something off Butchering the Beatles, a track featuring Lemmy, John 5 and Eric Singer, and some Journey for Margy, a regular listener, and then finished off with a track by the Foo Fighters.  Last night featured a bonus track in the form of Thin Lizzy because I was still answering WhatsApp’s and wasn’t quite ready to go.  All in all a good time was had, Enjoy \m/

We kicked off a bit differently to the usual TSORR all-out metal detonation by starting with Josh Ritter and a track called ‘For The Dogs or Whoever’.   Next up Whiskey in the Morning and then a bit of Judas Priest and some Megadeth.  Because it was 14 Feb we took a listen to Bullet For My Valentine and roared through some serious 80’s and 90’s metal.  I mentioned that although we are only 2 months into the year the honours for Metal album of the year are probably already sorted in the form of Annihilators' new release Ballistic, Sadistic.  We took a listen to ‘Dressed Up For Evil’,  I am not quite sure what dressed up for evil would even look like but it’s a cracking good song, check out the instrumental bridge at around 1:56.  Our usual bit of TSORR Punk was covered by Anti-Flag, The Clash and Bad Religion and it was the Clash, who’s already short 1 minute and 47-second song,  was rudely cut even shorter, apologies for that.  

 

The new Midnight 7-Plus feature was filled this week by Great White and Rock Me, in fact, we had Rock You, Rock Me and You Wreck Me all in a row, try saying that fast 3 times.  Some more local content was supplied by The Burning, check out the podcast of the interview I did with them a couple of months back.  Herman Frank’s contribution was definitely one of the highlights of the show as was Johnathan Martin’s Liberty off his The Highway Infinity album .  Apologies to Dino Jelusic, he of the golden voice, for the tiny technical glitch and early ending on his new killer track with George Lynch of Dokken fame, I’ll play some more off that Dirty Shirley album next week.  The show ended off with a very effective quest to see how much damage I could do in 5 minutes.  The vote from the Whatsapp line was a resounding yes!

SA bands were represented by Pilgrim South a solid rock band out of Sekunda, I don’t know much about them but I will probably do an interview with them when they are in JHB.  Its good to know that there is a rock and roll soul alive and kicking in Mpumalanga.  12th Avenue, one of my favourite SA bands ever, were also featured with a track called Time Bomb.  Alice Cooper’s Generation Landslide sounded as fresh as ever, amazing that it's nearly 50 years old.  Iron Maiden took the Midnight 7-Plus slot this week with a track called The Longest Day off their 2006 release ‘A Matter of Life and Death’.  The highlight of the show for me was playing Ozzy Osbourne’s new track Under the Graveyard at high volume through the studio speakers.  Ozzy is sounding amazing and that chorus is catchy as hell, you have been warned.  My only regret here is that he hasn’t got Zakk Wylde on the album.  No disrespect to Andrew Watt who has done an excellent job of producing the album and playing all the guitar but Zakk would have made a massive contribution I reckon.  Note that Duff McKagan  & Chad Smith from G ‘n’ R and the Chillie Peppers provided the rhythm section.  

The Punk came a bit later than normal, this week in the form of the Dead Kennedy’s with 'Kill the Poor' and then a bit of Green Day.  Another show highlight was hearing Johnathan Martin’s brilliant cover of 'Cortez the Killer' back to back with Neil Young doing Pocahontas live off the Weld album. We got back to the heavy stuff with Judas Priest’s Hellrider and then a really menacing bit of metal called Walker of the Dark, courtesy of Udo Dirkschneider in his solo outfit U.D.O.  We managed to cram in a last bit of Motörhead and the Foo’s and then it was "Cheers" until next week.  The playout song was a little goodbye to Dave Brock a high school friend who sadly passed away this week  RIP Dave. 

Artists featured this episode:  Thin Lizzy, The Foo Fighters, Ozzy Osbourne, Johnathan Martin, Motörhead, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Nirvana, Pilgrim South, Judas Priest, Baton Rouge, John Frusciante, Alice Cooper, Slash, Green Day, Def Leppard, Volbeat, Neil young, Steelheart, Rush, Rex Brown, Great White, U.D.O., 12th avenue, the Dead Kennedy’s

The album features a whole host of the cream of the crop of 80's shredders.  This track had the inimitable Yngwie Malmsteen and Bruce Kulick all over it.   After that, it was W.A.S.P. then Ozzy and in the words of Forrest Gump we …..were….. running.   

We hit the punk early in the show courtesy of Anti-Flag and Bad Religion.  Anti-Flag are far and away the best punk band around in the last 15 years in my view. As always it was guitar solo heaven on TSORR and you'll hear that courtesy of Jinx and Jake Pitts of Black Veil Brides and DJ Ashba with Brides of Destruction.  The mystery of the track titles on my Audioslave album were finally revealed and we listened the "My Moon, My Man", or as it is normally known, ‘Gasoline’.  We stayed with Gasoline  but this time with Seether and then it was time for the new feature where we check out a track over 7 minutes long.  Once again that feature was a huge success.   

Dave Hause was great and then we got more killer guitar courtesy of Mark Tremonti off the 1st Alter Bridge album.  The SA music took a turn for the different with Kobus! and ‘Volk Van Main’. It was especially played for that hardcore team of TSORR regulars who keep me company until two am week after week after week.  You guys are truly die Volk Van Main.  I let Francois Blom & Theo Crous tell the story.  We wrapped up quietly with Rodriguez and Zakk Wylde.   

Artists featured include: Zakk Wylde, Guns ‘n‘ Roses, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne,  Led Zeppelin, Dave Hause, Type O Negative, Bad Religion, Seether, Black Veil Brides, Paul Stanley, Anti-Flag, Megadeth,  Rodriguez,  Bullet Boys, The Cult, Black Star Riders, Blue Öyster Cult, Alter Bridge, Kobus!, Black Star Riders, Audioslave,  Brides of Destruction, Scorpions, Yngwie Malmsteen, & W.A.S.P.

We took a listen to a new-ish band called 3Teeth who are making waves at the moment, see what you think, I find it Marilyn Manson-ish.  After that is was the turn of a band formed in California in around 2007 called White Wizzard, the audience loved it.  It was definitely a highlight of the show, check it out, the track was called Storm the Shores and the guitar work is great.  Seether as always can be relied on to keep the show on track and then we had two tracks perfectly demonstrating one of the things TSORR radio Show is known for, notifiable guitar.  Adrenaline Mob with Mike Orlando showing us how to solo and then straight after that, no stranger to the show, Animal Bites, Dino Jelusic’s band with a proper cover version of Roxette’s ‘The Look’.  Dino’s voice is as always off the scale good and I’m not sure who is on guitar but he is all over this.   The Rolling Stones ably represented the bands formed in the ’60s and then it was time for something new on the show.  If you listen regularly you will have picked up that I am of the Van Halen school of thought i.e. that songs between 2 and 4 minutes are perfect.  Alex Van Halen once said they don’t plan it that way, that’s just how long it takes to say what you gotta say and move onto the next one.  This means that we are missing out on some good stuff so to remedy that I decided to play one 7 min or longer song per week.  The first of these was a track called A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold.  I am happy to say the WhatsApp line loved it.  Carry the Cross by Arch Enemy was exquisite, such power.

The show kicked off with The Sweet’s Teenage Rampage and then straight into the mighty Judas Priest.  It would have been remiss of me not to call out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fiasco for their latest travesty of justice so that was done pretty much straight away.  Motley Crue restarted again halfway through the song but you won’t really notice because I clipped it out for your listening pleasure.  I do however speak about it, so in the words of one of my high school teachers, “And boys that is why”.  I don’t normally edit the show but no-one wants to hear a song twice in a row with so much other good stuff to get to.  The highlight for me was the brutality of Sepultura into the smooth perfection of Gary Moore with Still Got the Blues.  It made me realize Gary Moore and Rory Gallagher would have been the most amazing twin guitar combo ever.  There were so many good moments on this show, ‘(White Man ) In Hammersmith Palais’ from The Clash, ‘California Uber Alles’ from ‘The Dead Kennedy’s’ as well as ‘Man in the Box’ featuring some great guitar work from Jerry Cantrell.  These were just a few that spring to mind, the whole thing is good.  Finally let’s not forget the sheer, power, aggression and rawness of Fokofpolisiekar in their hey-day with ‘Angs Aanval’ was sublime.  And then, of course, we did need to pay our respects to the amazing Neil Peart, drummer and lyricist for Canada’s greatest band Rush.  Neil sadly passed away on 7 January and we played Spirit of Radio to say cheers, RIP Mr. Neil Peart.

The show opened with a jolt of good times rock and roll courtesy of Sebastian Bach and the fun didn’t stop for the next two hours.  One of the highlights was definitely Neil Young’s Revolution Blues, it’s amazing how the environment has changed in the last 46 years, lines like  “Well, I hear that Laurel Canyon is full of famous stars, But I hate them worse than lepers and I'll kill them in their cars” would probably upset some and lead to accusations of promoting mass shootings these days.  The show took a further turn for the violent after that with Halestorm’s hard-hitting 'I Miss the Misery', My Chemical Romance’s 'Thank You For the Venom' and an acoustic rock masterclass from Guns ‘n’ Roses with One in a Million.  

The other highlight was the emotional tragedy that is Danger Line by Avenged Sevenfold, the whole song changes at about 3:20 with the heartbreaking “Tell my baby girl that it’s alright, I’ve sung my last song tonight” and then Syn Gates’ solo and the harmony guitar with Zakky before M. Shadows' outro whistling.  Goosebumps or you ain’t human.   Rory Gallagher live was another one, unbelievable guitar sound, or as one listener said “so raw”, it feels like you are in the crowd at that show.  We started with drinking and ended with drinking, Jeff Beck with Rod Stewart's show closer was sublime.

The other highlight was the emotional tragedy that is Danger Line by Avenged Sevenfold, the whole song changes at about 3:20 with the heartbreaking “Tell my baby girl that it’s alright, I’ve sung my last song tonight” and then Syn Gates’ solo and the harmony guitar with Zakky before M. Shadows' outro whistling.  Goosebumps or you ain’t human.   Rory Gallagher live was another one, unbelievable guitar sound, or as one listener said “so raw”, it feels like you are in the crowd at that show.  We started with drinking and ended with drinking, Jeff Beck with Rod Stewart's show closer was sublime.   

Artists featured on Episode 202 included:  Megadeth, Ryan Adams, Autograph, Jeff Beck, ACDC, Badlands, Iron Maiden, Buckcherry, Halestorm, Newsted, Rammstein, Saxon, The Sex Pistols, My Chemical Romance, Deep Purple, The Damned, Neil Young, Whitesnake, Sammy Hagar, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Avenged Sevenfold, The Damned Things, Greta Van Fleet, Rory Gallagher, Guns ‘n’ Roses & Sebastian Bach

The show kicked off with Krokus followed by a bit of Walking in the 'Shadow of the Blues'.  That was courtesy of White Snake and then we were off and running, pedal to the metal for the next two hours.  We dealt with the Ozzy Osbourne, deathbed or no deathbed issue, contemplated a 'Post American World' with Megadeth and checked out some Papa Roach.  It's hard to believe Papa Roach have been around for 20 years!  The highlight of the show for me was Slipknot with 'Opium of the People', hearing a song like that in the early of the morning is just so special.  The South African music was covered by Cutting Jade, The Color Blue and of course Seether.    

Artists featured this episode include:  Megadeth, Joe Bonamassa, Cutting Jade, ACDC, Krokus, Ramones, The Color Blew, Whitesnake, Night Ranger, Metallica, Ozzy Obourne, Kid Rock, Seether, Black Label Society, Clutch, Wolfmother, My Chemical Romance, Thin Lizzy, Slipknot, John Mellencamp, Social Distortion, Papa Roach, Rainbow, Volbeat, Soundgarden & The Gaslight Anthem.

On this show were some great moments, the music is always rock solid, excuse the pun.  Having an extra 10 songs allowed me to experiment with two tracks from the movies.  The first being Atticus Fetch (Tim Minchen) performing a track called 'So Long' off Season 6 of the Californication Series.  Then the final track of the show, 'The Flame Still Burns', performed by Jimmy Nail and written by Mick Jones, of Foreigner fame, is from a movie called Still Crazy.  All rock fans should see it and you will get some more detail about it on www.thestoryofrockandroll.com.  It is special, those who know will know.  We had a bit of a look at 2019 and I reckon that Mania is now my best Metal album for 2019.  It's from a little known band out of San Francisco called Hell Fire.

The highlight of the show for me was Zakk Wylde's guitar solo on Darkest Hour which I mistakenly said was off Hangover Music Vol II, a BLS album, instead of Book of Shadows II.  It was too late to retract so if you noticed, so did I.  Yesterday's Hero also went down very well.  It is amazing how many people have the same or very similar memories of discovering this amazing music called Rock.  It is really why both The Story of rock and Roll book and show exist.  So many of us heard the same bands at various stages in our lives and it changed anything.  TSORR, as always, is a celebration of both this fact and the music.  The show intro was probably one of the greatest I have done, The Stranglers Live and then straight into Pantera with Drag the Waters.  This was not lost on people and the first WhatsApp in immediately said: " The Stranglers into Pantera, banging bro " !!!.  Anyway take a listen to the show, I hope you enjoy it and stick around for the next anniversary in 2020.

Artists featured in Episode 49 include:  The Stranglers, Tank, Metalmorphosis, Queen, Nazareth, Billy Bragg, Newsted, Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Jimi Hendrix, ZZ Top, Def Leppard, Pantera, The Boomtown rats, Megadeth, scorpions, Fokofpolisiekar, Roan Ash, Accept, Metallica, Airbourne, Judas Priest, Zakk Wylde, Y&T, Nazareth, Hanoi Rocks & Scorpions.

There were many highlights this week, one of which was the Slayer Sex Pistols combo, another was the latest track released off The Burning’s new album Headed to Hell.  The track was The Call and it is a wonderful call to recognizing the situation SA is in and calling for people to stand together and rebuild, or maybe I have got it wrong?  If so we will find out on 30 December when I interview Glenn Scarthroat Unger lead vocalist and lyricist of said band.  Stand by for that one.  We then got our recommended daily allowance of Citrus in the form of Led Zeppelin with Tangerine and I especially loved the segue into Black Label Society, I got those chords just right Another highlight was a little bit of Anti-Flag just because it is so relevant to the local situation right now with power cuts, water outages, load shedding, and mass unemployment.  It just made sense.  We were on the downhill run and took in another track off new EP by Equator called No Mercy.  I have played a few tracks before so this is the third one.  I threatened with some Vader but then the show took a turn for the mellow with an amazing goose bumping track by Lynyrd Skynyrd called That Aint My America off God & Guns.  It stayed that way for something off Exile on Main Street and some Springsteen before we used some Vader to close the show.  I swear I saw a mushroom cloud in my rearview mirror as I left Midrand at 02h30 am.

The highlight of the show was definitely Billy Bragg, he doesn’t get a lot of air play but man, that aggressive guitar just sets the studio alight, it sounds so raw and pissed-off.  Steve Jones, doing a cover of Bowie's Suffragette City, also got the Whatsapp lines buzzing as did the comment about Michael Jackson.  HIM made their first appearance on TSORR and UK blues hero Aaron Keylock was also a first timer.  Machine Head’s Davidian sounded as powerful as ever and certainly reaffirmed my belief that Burn My Eyes is one of the finest Metal albums ever released.  All in all a very mixed bag with no obvious weak links in my opinion, see what you think.

What an amazing guy.  Tommy has actually been the longest running lead guitarist, he's been in Kiss for 17 years.  Ace did 9 and then came back 14 years later for another 6 and Bruce Kulick was there for 12.  Tommy got involved with KISS in 1994 and officially came on board as lead guitarist in 2002.  We covered a lot ground in 15 min   

I started by taking Tommy back to his earlier bands Black 'n' Blue and Shake the Faith and asked him about working with Jimmy Barnes and how he got Hunter S. Thompson to do an album cover.  We chatted about the Johannesburg gig on 25 July 2020 and I asked what we can expect at that show.  

Time flew I had a lot more to ask him but management intervened and gave me one last question and then it was over.  What a great experience, very grateful to Tommy and the Kiss organisation for making the time to talk to me.

The highlight of the show this week as judged by WhatsApp line commentary was The Stranglers with Toiler on the Sea proving once again how opinions differ when it comes to music.  Asking Alexandria made a welcome return to the show and the current love affair with My Chemical Romance continued.  Piet Botha’s Goeienag Generaal sounded as magnificent as ever, love that sarcastic little chirp where he says “slaap lekker”.  Pat Travis Band with Snortin’ Whisky was a breath of fresh air and, for me personally, I enjoyed my latest discovery The Damned Things with a track called Bad Blood.  All in all, a fairly well-rounded show which felt rushed to me but I was assured didn’t to those listening.

As usual it was a lot of fun and a mixed bag, the highlight for me was playing The Kinks alternative version of ‘I’m Not Like Everybody Else’.  Ray Davies wrote it for The Animals who declined it and then they did it themselves with Dave Davies singing.  It was the ‘B-side of ‘Sunny Afternoon’ and that version is not my best.  The version featured here is a whole different beast, it’s the one Ray sang on the Live To The Bone album released in 1994 and it’s the one David Chase used in the outro of the Soprano’s Season 5 episode titled ‘Çold Cuts’.  It is simply superb, the video is on the blog section of TSORR website.  I played out with James Reyne’s ‘Always The Way’ especially for my friend Fanie Marais who was much loved on the local music scene and who passed away 3 weeks ago, RIP brother.  It’s also the first show not to have a bit of Punk.  Stranglers fans, apologies I had ‘Toiler on the Sea’ lined up but we’ll play it next week.

Everything else was 100% fun, pretty much what you’d expect from this show.  The new stuff came from Hell Fire, Black Star Riders, Backyard Babies and Tom Keifer.  I don’t think we went back further than 1982 this week, I ran out of time and the Rory Gallagher from 1974 got bumped.  In fact, The Damned of all bands represented the 70’s.  Local music was covered by Crash Car Burn and Johnathan Martin, the weeks outlier was Alabama 3 with Too Sick to Pray.  It was the most appreciated track of the night according to the WhatsApp line.   

Artists featured this week included Dio, ACDC, Rainbow, Monster Truck, David Lee Roth, The Damned, Tom Petty, Rammstein, Sammy Hagar, David Bowie, Judas Priest, Black Star Riders, Joan Jett, Damn Yankees, Hell Fire, Amon Amarth, Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Sixx:A.M., Alabama 3, Johnathan Martin, Megadeth, Crash Car Burn, Tom Keifer, Backyard Babies & Buckcherry with Papa Roach.

The Punk corner was represented by Stiff Little Fingers & The Stranglers, Australia by Rose Tattoo and South Africa by Arapaho & Piet Botha.  For once the ladies didn’t even get a look in and then for the first time we had some Lynyrd Skynyrd on the show which was a shock that will be rectified in coming weeks.  I am not sure how Skynyrd dodged airplay on TSORR for half a year!  There was a nice change of pace late in the show courtesy of Phillip Sayce and his blues instrumental ‘Alchemy’.  The comedic gem in this episode is where Deryck requests Godsmack’s I Stand Alone and I go above and beyond trying to play it.  Needless to say, it didn’t work out and I needed Ozzy Osbourne to wipe up the mess.

Other noticeable moments of the show included the title track off the brand new album by Black Star Riders called Another State of Grace, Foghat with Slow Ride and Megadeth's masterpiece Holy Wars...The Punishment Due.  There is always one track that just sounds better than anything through the studio speakers and this week it was that one.

The show as always was an eclectic mix and we got pretty much around the world; Germany, UK, Australia, US, Sweden, Ireland, and South Africa.  I played stuff between 1977 and 2019 so it’s a good representation of rock through the last 42 years.   We had some metal, we had some blues, we had some punk, some grunge, all the stuff you have come to expect from TSORR where it’s all about the music \m/.  I played a band called Animal Drive which was introduced to me by Tinus a regular listener.  Animal Drive sounded very good.  SA music was heavily represented by SA blues genius Dan Patlansky as well as Hellcats, 12th Avenue and the fabulous Dead-Line.  It’s all there on this most excellent episode.

Artists featured this week include:  Metallica, The Pretty Reckless, Pebbleman, The Four Horsemen, Machine Head, Def Leppard, Rainbow, Chickenfoot, Live, Thin Lizzy, Bruce Springsteen, Skid Row, Headpins, Arch Enemy, Paul Stanley, Joe Walsh, Fokofpolisiekar, Halestorm, Slade, W.A.S.P., Rammstein, Skid Row, ACDC, Robert Palmer & Tom Petty

Artists featured included Skid Row, Dio, Keel, Thin Lizzy, David Bowie, Soundgarden, Deep Purple, Airbourne, Queensrÿche, David Lee Roth, Sugar Drive, Marilyn Manson, Def Leppard, The Screaming Jets, Jackson Browne, Mark Morton, Volbeat, Desolation Angels, System of a Down, Pink Floyd, The Clash, Black Label Society, Johnathan Martin, We Are Harlot and Hell Yeah.  Hope you enjoy it, until next week; cheers!

After that it is was full blast, up tempo, two fisted rock and roll with Dio.  For a while the song titles did indicate the heavy smog of politics, (Digging My Own Grave & The Joker & The Thief), but I cleared the air with Bowie’s Move On and then one last crazy bit of technical mayhem before settling in for a smooth run.  Check out the outro solo on James Reyne’s Ain’t it Always the Way, one of the best ever for pure emotion and the intersection between I Am The Walrus and Time is just great radio.

The audience reaction to this episode was excellent on the Whatsapp line.  That was good to know as it was probably the most diverse show I have done so far.  It ranged from Joe Jackson to Metallica, Alice In Chains to Sheryl Crow.  Beware that Joe Jackson will get stuck in your head :-)

I played a lot of lesser known stuff, bands like Wilson, Kris Barras Band,  Bullet Boys, Los Labios & Black Spiders along with the usual heavy weights Dio, Van Halen, Metallica, Black Sabbath & ACDC.  SA music was represented by Aking and it was great to hear Johnny Is Nie Dood Nie, the Koos Kombuis classic, if you have ever been at a festival where he has played that you will know how wonderful it is, goosebumps.
