From Zeppelin to Nickelback, what makes a guitar riff unforgettable—and why do some songs still start the party decades later? Ed Conroy of

retrontario.com joins Shane to break down the riffs that shaped generations and the uniquely Canadian contributions to rock history.

This isn’t just a nostalgia trip. It’s a celebration of sound, memory, and the electric energy that music sparks. They swap concert stories, argue over Nickelback, and throw love at underappreciated Canadian icons like Kim Mitchell, April Wine, and Bruce Cockburn. From arena anthems to barroom bangers, this episode hits every note.

Plug in. Crank it up. And relive the riffs that still rip.
