Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut

-Missed Opportunity- I love sharing conversations.  Hosting requires show prep.  My podcasting platforms feature thousands of guests.  What you don’t have access to are the missed opportunities. The show prep was completed.  The conversation didn’t happen.  I keep all my notes! Paths will cross again.  Let me explain Missed Opportunity.  It’s my questions and statements without their answers.  I’m leaving open enough space at the end of each question hoping they’ll download the talk and insert their answers.Missed Opportunity is a lost piece of history.  Like a message in a bottle tossed out to sea. I hope to locate a destination…
  This week we’re putting focus on my missed opportunity with Barbara Broccoli the longtime producer of James Bonds movies. Missed Opportunity.  A lost piece of history.  You know the questions.  Let’s locate the reactions.  The door is always open.  If you are or know Barbara Broccoli please reach out to me at [email protected] that’s [email protected] Be brilliant!

Metal band Dystopica returns with its fourth release, an EP entitled Semblance of Order, which is out now through Pavement Entertainment. The EP is intense, fast, aggressive, melodic and the beginning of a new heavier chapter for the band. Semblance of Order transcends genres by fusing the raw driving force of traditional heavy metal and thrash metal with the complexity of progressive metal and the punch of modern metal.In addition to the EP’s release, Dystopica has also dropped the music video for “A Semblance of Order.” The title track of the EP features a killer performance by the band. On the making of the music video, vocalist Becky Brideau says, “‘A Semblance of Order’ is about wanting to feel the way you appear. Edited by two-time Emmy Award-Winner Eric Michael Schrader, the music video expresses this meaning through visuals and an energetic performance.”The video was filmed at Space67studios, an old bank in Norwalk, CT, that was turned into a production studio. On the video’s setting, Brideau says, “We feel that the location fits the video perfectly. The band performance takes place in a room with bank vaults behind us which is different from anything we have done before. For the cutaways I am in another room singing in a mirror at my own reflection. The vaults represent things locked away in the mind and my reflection represents my outward appearance.”Produced by Nick Bellmore (Dee Snider, Corpsegrinder, Ripper, Hatebreed, Toxic Holocaust, Many Eyes), Semblance of Order is heavier than Dystopica’s 2021 Perception, 2022 Deception and 2024 Infinite Reflection and incorporates more modern metal elements while bringing back qualities classic heavy metal to create an epic sound.Each song on the EP is very distinct from one another but as a whole it expresses various themes and emotions that lie beneath the surface of what appears to be order.With both chugging and harmonized dual guitar riffs, shredding solos, vigorous drumming, thunderous bass and powerful female vocals that switch effortlessly from strong, melodic singing and high operatic singing to fierce growling and piercing screams, Dystopica further expands their core sound of combining classic heavy metal and modern metal.Dystopica is: Becky Brideau on vocals, Rob Muller on guitar, Lucas Dellaporta on bass, and Christian “HAM” Peragine on drums.

A unique and unparalleled look into the nature and relationship of two of the pillars of the NFL's greatest dynasty, the 2001-2018 New England PatriotsThere can be doubt, the greatest dynasty in NFL history stood on two pillars: Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. That is indisputable. Together they forged a working relationship that provided thrilling results that would change the game forever and provide a two-decade-long winning culture not likely to ever be repeated. In those twenty years they helped New England to nine Super Bowls, winning six. But who is/was most responsible? The greatest coach/GM in NFL history? The greatest quarterback (perhaps, greatest player regardless of position) in NFL history? New York Times bestselling author Gary Myers takes the deepest dive yet into a debate that rages to this day in his new book, BRADY vs. BELICHICK: The Dynasty Debate (St. Martin's Press, On Sale September 16, 2025, $31.00).What was the nature of their amazing relationship? Mentor and mentee? Superstar and mad scientist? Phenom and master tactician? Or were they equals? In this fascinating book, veteran NFL insider Gary Myers will draw on the incredible access he has to both subjects as well as scores of players, coaches and management officials. Myers has new interviews with Belichick, Devon McCourty, Rodney Harrison, Julian Edelman, Joe Montana, Tom Brady Sr., and scores more. There is also new material from coaching greats Bill Parcells, Jimmy Johnson, Tony Dungy, and former Pats assistant coaches Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel, and executives like Ernie Accorsi and Bill Polian.One of the more revealing and compelling chapters in the book is about New York Jets linebacker Mo Lewis, whose sideline hit on then star New England quarterback Drew Bledsoe in 2001 elevated Tom Brady to starting quarterback.and the rest is history. To this day, many fans and haters of New England's success blame Lewis' hit on starting the Patriots dynasty, and Lewis, in the book, doesn't hide his bitter feelings about being tagged with that.In BRADY vs. BELICHICK, Myers goes well into the numbers, analyzing the psychology and sociology of this partnership using his unique perspective to illuminate the greatest duo that ever graced the sport. And who is the most responsible? There is a surprise ending as the reader will discover.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Is it a guy thing to get up several times in the middle of the night and donate a pint of something to the cause?  Plus…what is thrashing?  Is it natural?  Why do people thrash?           I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

INTO THE VOID is an intimate, unflinching journey behind the curtain of heavy metal, revealing the resilience, creativity, and catharsis that defined a misunderstood genre and misunderstood community that rallied behind it. Beneath the high-octane performances and screaming guitars lie raw undercurrents of trauma, loss, and personal transformation and defiance.Told through first-hand accounts and beyond-the-headline stories, the series explores what it costs to live outside the lines by spotlighting both celebrated legends like Randy Rhoads and Dimebag Darrell, overlooked trailblazers like Wendy O. Williams and Ann Boleyn (Ann Hull), and newer powerful figures like the Iranian duo Confess. In doing so, INTO THE VOID humanizes icons often seen only in myth, delving into both the vulnerability behind their larger-than-life personas and cultural battles that shaped and were shaped by them.By threading these stories together, INTO THE VOID shows how heavy metal’s stories of identity, repression, and survival remain as urgent today as when they first shook culture. Told through the voices of those who knew these artists – bandmates, family members, and insiders (including Sharon Osbourne) – the series blends music documentary with true crime, emotional biography, and cultural history to break clichés of the genre and deliver rare authenticity, intimacy, and revelation to each episode.
