Not Another Rock Pod.... With Dunc & Mo

On the anniversary of Chris Cornell’s passing, Not Another Rock Pod celebrates the life, music, and legacy of one of rock’s greatest voices.

In this special tribute episode, the guys look back on Cornell’s incredible career across Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Audioslave, and his solo work while debating their picks for his greatest vocal performances, best songs, most underrated deep cuts, and defining moments as an artist.

From massive riffs and haunting lyrics to raw emotion and unforgettable performances, this episode is a celebration of the music that continues to inspire rock fans around the world.

No one sings like you anymore.

Step into the world of Deftones with the first edition of Let’s Get You Listening To… — the series where we break down the essential tracks that define legendary artists and help you find your way into their music.

In this episode, Dunc explores 10 songs that showcase every side of Deftones: the crushing heaviness, the dreamlike atmosphere and the experimentation that made them one of the most influential bands in modern alternative music.

Whether you’re discovering them for the first time or revisiting them with fresh ears, this is your gateway into one of the most distinctive bands of the last three decades.

Put your headphones on, turn it up, and let’s get you listening to Deftones.

This week Dunc & Mo are back with another Shits and Gig-gles Vol. 3, we dive into one of the biggest questions in rock and metal — when does a band stop being the band?

From legendary acts with rotating lineups to bands carrying on with only one original member, we debate whether some groups are still authentic or just trading on the name. We also get into how fan loyalty changes over time, the albums and bands we obsessed over in an era compared to now, and whether we are attached to bands… or just specific eras of them.

Plus, we ask the big one: can Turnstile really be the future of heavy music? Are genre lines disappearing, or are metal fans just refusing to evolve?

This week Dunc & Mo sit down to discuss a variety of topics including; 

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, does it even matter?

Music taste changing over the course of time? 

Soundgarden over Alice in Chains?

Ozzy over Axl?

Justice over Reign in Blood? 

What would you pick? 

This week Dunc is joined by a returning Paudie. 

We are looking back on Nirvanas 1991 iconic album Nevermind. An album that changed the landscape musically of the 1990's and changed pop culture as a whole. 

It was a fun look back on an album that is loved by young and old. 

What is your favourite track off the album? Would you consider Nevermind to be one of the most influential album of not just the 90's but of all time? 

To mark St Patricks Day, this week Dunc & Mo are looking back on one of Irelands greatest exports, Thin Lizzy.

This week Dunc & Mo look back on Green Day's breakthrough album Dookie. 

Filled with melodic punk hooks, nostalgia and humour. 

It was a transcending album that inspired so many iconic bands to come like Sum 41 and Blink 182 to mention a few. 

What are your thoughts on this one?   

This week Dunc & Mo are joined by returning guest Big Jim as they look back at Metallica's 2nd studio Album Ride The Lightning. 

This is the album that proved Metallica wasn’t just fast and aggressive, but visionary on how metal was going to be. 

Ride the Lightning is the album that all Metallica fans cherish and some may think is the best they did. 

Is this your favourite album? Let us know

This week Dunc & Mo sit down to discuss two of the most iconic Unplugged sessions, Nirvana and Alice in Chains. 

MTV Unplugged was supposed to make bands feel more approachable. Somehow Nirvana and Alice in Chains made it feel more like group therapy. 

There were highs and lows, but both shows seem like the swansong for both bands in an eerie way. 

Which one was your favourite?
