This week:
– a tight, well-produced hair band with a violin.
– Rob Halford lending vocals to a new generation metal band as well as one of the biggest Judas Priest smashes ever and the story behind that smash hit.
– A musical tour of the south and southern metal and hard rock inspired by a new band I was turned onto by fans of this show.
– Sebastian Bach, LA Guns, the Scorpions, Motley Crue, Three Days Grace, Aerosmith, Poison, MSG, Five Finger Death Punch, and more, and, of course, the Cover Song of the Week, which I challenge you to guess before we get to it.
