September 29, 2024 #88 Tony 'Jack The Bear' Mantz - Owner of Deluxe Mastering, Carnivore diet, Mental Health & MORE
Welcome to episode number 88 folks with our amazing guest, Tony 'Jack The Bear' Mantz!
Owner and Founder of Jack The Bear's Deluxe Mastering - "State of the art studios with Australia’s most formidable team of mastering engineers ready to handle any project".
Quick personal story, Jack The Bear Mastered two of my bands EP's back in the early 2000's and I've followed him on social media since around that time. So since starting this podcast he has been on my wish-list of Podcast guests for a while.

We cover so much ground in this episode, it was such an honor to have him on the show and be so open and honest. I really want to extend my thanks him for that. We cover what is Mastering, we talk about music in general, his journey on the carnivore diet, mental health, fitness, drug addiction. All of it.

January 25, 2024 #86 Josh Durno from Tassie trio 'The Sketches'!
Happy New Year folks! Welcome to 2024!
We're starting off this year with a great friend of mine Josh Durno from the Tassie 3-piece 'The Sketches'!

It's almost been 4 years to the day since Josh was first on the podcast, way back in Jan of 2020. Josh made his way up to Victoria from his beautiful home state of Tasmania for a bit of a holiday, so I thought I'd get him on the show in person. This is actually the first in-person chat on the podcast for a while.

Josh is always fascinating to chat with, it was so good to see him again. I thank him for his time and incredible insights on a range of topics.

An Australian rock power trio who have been about the scene for the last few years. The band is best described as playing Hard Rock blending heavy groove based riffs with melodic rock melodies. Executed with enough precision, balls and musicianship to mix it up with four and five piece outfits.
It was a pleasure to chat with Anth and Luciano. I was lucky enough to catch their live show a few weeks ago at the Tote in Melbourne and they KILLED it.

September 18, 2023 #84 Metallica ’St Anger’ 20 Years on... With Jörg aka Riff_Madness
Hello my friends!!!
I'm so sorry it's been a few months since the last episode! Things have been very busy and I've had to focus the little spare time I have, entirely on music.

But I'm happy to be back with you here for episode #84 where we have our very special guest Jörg aka @Riff_Madness on Instagram, back on the show to discuss Metallica's 'St Anger' album 20 years on from it's release!

No, it's not everyone's favorite Metallica album. But as we discuss in this episode, it's a very necessary Metallica album. It was very interesting looking back on this album. I initially bought this album when it first came out in 2003 but have rarely revisited it since. It was fresh to me all over again.
It was great to catch up once again with Jörg who is based in Germany, we both love our Metallica and he was lucky enough to see them live recently and gives us a rundown on his experience at the show.

Back at you again soon with a new episode. Thanks for listening!

March 29, 2023 #82 Vanessa Valentine (music, drugs, health & the world)
Hey folks, welcome to episode number 82 of Foxx on the Wire with our special guess Vanessa Valentine!
Now THIS is an episode I've been looking forward to for a while. I've been aiming to try and get Vanessa on the podcast for a while and I finally got up the courage to ask. What's that saying, you won't know until you ask, right?
In her own words Vanessa is an independent musician, ex heroin addict/thug, an adult human female, animal and women's right campaigner. And if I could add to that, she was front-woman of one of my favorite bands a decade ago called 'Valentiine'.
We always aim to have honest conversations on this podcast, and that's exactly what this episode is.
Check out Vanessa's music over at her Bandamp if you haven't heard her tunes you're gonna love them.
Don't forget to follow and subscribe to Foxx on the Wire on all the platforms so you don't miss any new episodes. Thank you to Vanessa for coming on the podcast, I look forward to having her on again in the future.

February 21, 2023 #80 Guns N’ Roses infamous 1993 Calder Park raceway show - 30th anniversary boots on the ground report!
Welcome to the Jungle!!!
A very special episode coming at you today where we relive the infamous 1993 Guns N' Roses Melbourne Calder Park Raceway show that has gone down in history for many reasons!
On this episode I am joined by singer/songwriter Brett Franke and Engineer/Producer Owner of Incubator Studios Adrian Akkerman who were both at this show 30 years ago and are here to give us their boots on the ground report and tell us about their experience!

It’s been 30 years since the 1st of February 1993 when 75,000 rock fans to the trek to Calder Park in the blistering heat to see the biggest rock’n’roll band in the world, Guns N’ Roses who were finally playing Australia once again. Joined by Pearls and Swine, Rose Tattoo and Skid Row support acts. This show was part of the Gigantic Use Your Illusion world tour which ran from Jan 20 1991 to July 17 1993. A total of 194 shows.

For those of you tuning into the podcast from overseas Calder Park Raceway is a motor racing circuit in Melbourne holding raceway events, thunderdome and Drag Racing. Located at Keilor, in the north east suburbs of Melbourne, the track began in the 1950s with a pair of motoring enthusiasts who wanted somewhere to race their FJ Holdens, Pat Hawthorn and Jim Houlahan.

"The area later became a saturated and smelling swamp due to the heavy rains and the urine."
Disturbing stuff. It could easily be a line lifted from a TV news report covering a natural disaster in some far flung part of the world. The damning assessment was part of a 100-page finding from the Victorian Ombudsman into what is arguably the worst concert ever staged in Australia. It wasn't what happened on stage at Melbourne's Calder Park that had authorities up in arms, but what happened off it.

Check out the Video version of this Podcast over at Foxx on the Wire YouTube!

Check out this entertaining 30 year old news report from the show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9AhqVshmDg&t=212s

Check out the killer GN'R setlist for this show.

Some of you may find this Slash & Duff interview with one of Australia's finest journalists VERY entertaining!!!

Thanks for tuning into the podcast folks I really hope you enjoyed this episode. Please make sure you follow, like and/or subscribe to Foxx on the Wire so you don't miss any new episodes!

Until next time,

February 01, 2023 #79 ASHLEY NAYLOR (EVEN) reflects on guitar virtuoso & English rock titan, JEFF BECK.
Hello my friends, coming to you today with a very special episode. I was lucky enough to catch up briefly with one of our favorites on this show, Ashley Naylor while he is out on tour with Australian legendary singer-songwriter Paul Kelly.
Hearing about the sad passing of Jeff Beck back on January 10th I knew straight away that I wanted to pay tribute to him on this podcast.
I thought who better to help me do this than Ashley Naylor who is one of Australia's most accomplished guitarist, vocalist and songwriter. Whether you know him from Melbourne Rock trio EVEN, Marshmellow Overcoat, or maybe you have seen him play guitar with Paul Kelly, Bob Evans, The Church, or in the Rockwiz house band, The Ronson Hangup and many more.
No doubt Jeff Beck is one of the electric guitar's most prolific innovators, and with a career as sprawling as his we could have easily recorded a massive episode.
I want to thank Ashley for his time and insight on this episode. It's always a pleasure having him on Foxx on the Wire. And, thank you Jeff Beck for an amazing career and always pushing the limits on the guitar and being such an innovator - RIP.
I hope you all enjoyed this episode check out the video version here at Foxx on the Wire YouTube Channel.
See you again soon.
