This week we are getting loud and thick and heavy with Steve Needham, who needs some ham. (And on that note, he needs a better nickname, too.) Nikki Rochon Kaiser joins Melody and Steve for this heavy metal deep dive. We talk metal origins, terminology, best intros, guitar shredding, Satanic Panic, Slayer (of course), Indonesian metal, and more. Do some neck warm-ups, tiger babies, 'cause we are going headbanging!

You can find Steve and his band Eve of Uprise on YouTube here or on Spotify here. And you can support the show at patreon.com/teachmetigerpodcast, where for as little as $2 a month, you get access to all of our bonus episodes.
