    On this episode we, once again, welcome our bass player Shane Mountain...or as he's now known Professor TB Player! We read some hate mail (from our so-called friend Bob), review the debut album from Wolfgang Van Halen "Mammoth WVH", dip into the Common Crossing vaults for a recording of a writing session, and we climb the Wall of Tunes for a band from the 70s, who had the most success in the 80s....and 3 lead singers. Enjoy. #mammothwvh #genesis

    Welcome to Season 4!! We have big plans. Our goal this season is to feature at least one high profile guest. We have our sights on the Redrocker, Sammy Hagar. We aim high. In this season premiere episode we talk about who else we'd like to have on. We also discuss the difference between a song from today and a song from our generation, with a little help from O'Brien's kid. Did you know Doug went to the Berkee School of Music? The Common Crossing song of the week features a "George Harrison-esque" guitar solo and we climb the Wall of Tunes and nip that thing in the bud! Welcome aboard.

    Send us Fan Mail

    As we wrap up Season 3, we have big plans for next season. They include a campaign to get some big name guests on the show. We've been lazy so far. In this final episode of Season 3 we begin talking about genius of KISS, not their music, their marketing. We're then visited by a voice from our past. Of course we do the Common Crossing song of the week and we climb the Wall of Tunes for a rock songwriter/frontman/bass player who takes up residence in several bands. But we feature one of his solo albums. Cheers for a great season and here's to bigger and better in Season 4. #finale #cartman #kiss #jackblades

    Send us Fan Mail

    The episode before the Season 3 finale includes a visit with our childhood buddy "Bob." He takes this opportunity to slam the show (he's jealous) and ask us some probing questions. We play a song from Common Crossing that even Bob didn't know, plus we climb the Wall of Tunes to talk about a band that neither Doug or Bob has heard of. Obscure much? #bob #gabedixon

    On this episode we talk about what constitutes a "Power Ballad" and try to list some of our favorites. The Common Crossing song of the week is about a "phone friend" that we never met (wink, wink), and we climb the Wall of Tunes to talk about the "man with the golden voice" from the 70s through today. That's all this week on the O'Doug BrianCast! #powerballad #paulcarrack

    On Season 3: Episode 16, we talk about how great it was to get back together with our band for rehearsal, after 7 months apart. We also tackle the "Heavy Metal Band Name Generator" and discuss the recent song bracket put forth by the great Def Leppard. The Common Crossing song of the week is a remake of the original that O'Brien doesn't remember, and we climb the Wall of Tunes to talk about a band from the 70s who had a new lineup in the 80s and a movie named after them that may or may not have starred Laurence Fishburne. #starcitysyndicate #defleppard #badco
