What happens when you’re a young artist with parents that have great taste in classic rock? You get influenced to write, sing, and play bass in your own band. This week we welcome Abby K and guitarist Diego Vargas to the show to talk about their musical journey. They’re about to take Nashville and the rock world by storm!

Guitarist Jack Frost shares how his new project “Brother in Arms“ came to be. If Covid did anything it was to inspire musicians to work with their friends to create some great new rock and roll. Rock is NOT dead it’s right here!

This week long time listeners David Cathey and Bryan Harris join Dennis and Bill to talk about our road trip to Louisville to see Mammoth WVH. At the beginning of the episode Allen gives a quick synopsis of his thought about the show and puts a little Wofgang audio treat in before the episode starts.

This week Rik Fox joins Bill and Allen for a discussion about everything from his work in an emergency response team to Steeler to WASP to his friendship with Eric Carr and more. Find out what Yngwie Malmsteen said during the early days of Steeler. Find out how the name of the band WASP came about. Find out Rik’s thought about how Eric’s makeup character evolved from the hawk. Find out why Rik refers to himself as the Forrest Gump of rock.

It’s story time with Brynn Arnes of FLIPP and a number of other bands.   Great stories… lots of fun!

In this episode we talk with Resist and Bite’s bassist Brian Powell about their current EP, their performance at the ROCKNPOD preparty at the Mercy Lounge in Nasnville, TN, their upcoming full length release, and more.

This week we review our weekend in Nashville at the 2021 ROCKNPOD Expo.

On Saturday, August 7, 2021, we were given the opportunity to host a live podcast and audience Q & A session with former MTV VJ and current SiriusXM DJ Mark Goodman at the ROCKNPOD Expo in Nashville, TN. Among other things, he answers questions about the early days of MTV and what it was like to be on the air when he learned of John Lennon’s murder.

Guns N’ Roses historian Marc Canter joins us this week to discuss a video podcast series called “The First 50 Gigs” (about the early days of GnR) that he cohosts with his friend and producing partner Jason Porath.

After 270+ episodes, and when you think nothing could go wrong in the AGES OF ROCK PODCAST world, it has happened:

THE AGES OF ROCK PODCAST TAKEOVER! 😱

Bill, Al, and Dennis have become victims of an invasion of the podcast snatchers! Your favorite “Crotchety Old Bastards” have been infiltrated by their least-expected perpetrators - THEIR OWN LISTENERS!!! Personal spaces will be invaded, pot-shots will be taken, and possibly a fetish or two will be exposed!

The infiltrators even present their top 5 most overplayed, burned out, and hated radio tracks. What songs will Bryan state have exceeded their life expectancy? What song has run its course in Lifetime KISS Fan David (not Dennis)’s opinion? What hot take does Bill throw down that will enrage a regular AoRP host? No matter if you’re from California, Ohio, or Tennessee, there’s a little something for everyone here.

Check it out!
