In 1995, Los del Rio infected popular dance culture with their one-hit wonder, “The Macarena”, the U.S. national debt was only $5,000,000,000,000 (five trillion), both eBay and Craigslist were birthed into popular culture, Taco Bell offered The Volcano Burrito and The Double Decker Taco menu items for a limited time (each for less than $1.00, btw), and O.J. Simpson was acquitted thanks (in no small part) to Robert Kardashian, the man who would ultimately become responsible for fueling the success of Gary Holt’s incredibly popular line of outerwear.

Meanwhile, in the world of 1995 metal, Kyuss called it quits shortly after releasing “…And The Circus Leaves Town” and DOWN unleashed their debut masterpiece “NOLA” on the EXACT SAME DAY that Dream Theater released their first EP featuring their 23-minute epic title track, “A Change Of Seasons”!

Get ready to find out what a “Coyote Disaster” actually sounds like, be mindful that when it comes to playing music in a live setting, some of us can play “topless” and some of us need a “sports bra”. Hear our thoughts regarding the upcoming “Back To The Beginning” final Black Sabbath concert event, listen carefully for a handful of not so subtle “R.E.M. references”, learn “how to scream at people in Braille”, and brace yourself for the record scratch heard ‘round the world (after embracing your “Patreon privilege”) when you JOIN US to find out “how they all talk” as we travel back in time to THE YEAR IN METAL – 1995.
