  • Episode 809: When 3 Equals 1
    We admit it. We're old.
     
    Actually, we prefer "music veterans". We're veteran enough to have consumed out music on all three physical media formats - vinyl, cassette and CD (and even a few 8 tracks lol). So with these formats we have a number of special albums that we shelled out for all three. Generally the lineage would be from vinyl to cass. to CD. But of course there's no tried and true formula. So this week we'd figured we'd share a list of these special albums. How many albums made your special list?
     
    In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss the aftermath of the election and hit up a new record shop. Musically, we crank some Slaughter (Can), Pounder, Hatchet, Asomvel, Poltergeist (Can) and Dissection (Can).
     
    Horns Up!!

  • 808: For The Record
    We here at RAM have always been vinyl conisseurs. But more and more people are discovering the joys of vinyl. It's really heartwarming when we see the youth of today (that was totally intentional lol) digging thru the racks. That means there's a lot of fertile minds that we feel, as veterans, should be doing our part to enlighten. Vinyl records have basic terminologies every collector should know. For instance: "LP", "hype sticker" and "deadwax". So we gathered a laundry list of said terms. Educational for the young'uns. Entertaining for the vets.
     
    In our "News, Views and Tunes", we share our Halloweens and discuss A.I. "music". Finally, we crank some cool tunes from Sacred Reich, Overdrive (Swe.), Witchkiller, Meanstreak, Haunt, Spitboy and Phaethon.
     
    Horns up!!

  • Episode 807: Running Free
    The passing of ex-Iron Maiden vocalist Paul Di'Anno was the major topic on the hearts and minds of Metal Heads the world over. Mr. Di'Anno wasn't just a great artist, he was a frontrunner and influence on an entire generation. So it's only appropriate we dedicate our discussion segment to this legend.
     
    We go over how we first discovered The Man. Our fave tunes. And where we think he would be haunting.
     
    In our "News, Views and Tunes", we attended the Winnipeg Comic Con and helped christen a new venue.
     
    Musically, we crank Ancients, Castle, Phobia, Desultory, Tailgunner, Juggernaut and Paul Di' Anno's Warhorse and Killers.

  • All Hallow's Eve

    Happy Halloween!

    We love this time of year. But not only for all the spooky season goodness. Our annual Halloween episode is always a barnburner. For the festivities this year we test Aaron's horror film knowledge with an appropriate number of 13 trivia questions. We also pose the question "Would you buy any records from a serial killer's collection?"

    And of course, we discuss the Ozzy HOF induction. Musically, we crank a stack o wax with Warfare, MDC, House By The Cemetery, Sadist w/Claudio Simonetti, Vincent Crowley, Savaged, Texas Toast Chainsaw Massacre and Necronomicon Ex Mortis.

    Horns Up and Happy Halloween!!

  • Episode 805: Big Hair
    Love it or hate it, "Hair" Metal is always an interesting topic. Often the subject of ridicule from more modern fans, the impact the subgenre has had on music as a whole cannot be denied. So when Paramount+ dropped the new docuseries "Nothin' But A Good Time: The Uncensored Story of 80s Hair Metal", we jumped right on it.
     
    We go over all three episodes. But not with a fine toothed comb, of course. As well, we use the opportunity to try to come up with our own Hair Metal Big 4. It's harder than you think.
     
    In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss RelicRadio.com (old school radio horror) and acknowledge our 17th (!!) birthday. Musically, we crank some Bulldozer, Destruktor, Youth Brigade, Madam X, Warrant (Ger), Poison (Ger) and Toxikull.
     
    Horns Up and Happy Halloween!!

  • Episode 804: Haunting the Playlist
    Halloween isn't just about collecting candy and cringy Wednesday costumes. Music plays a big part of the spooky season.
     
    Whether it's awesome horror film soundtracks or horror related guitar rock n roll, music provides the perfect atmosphere sounds for your October. But over the years we've noticed some people's idea of "Halloween" music doesn't quite cut a drunken teenager at Summer camp. So this week we compiled some songs that are debatable and we our "Yay" or "Nay".
     
    In our "News, Views and Tunes", we're off and running with our annual October Horror Movie Challenge and address the Taylor Swift charity guitar incident. Musically, we crank some Municipal Waste, Hallows Eve, Piledriver, Slasher Dave, Subhumans, Messer Chups and introduce Pythonic in our "Indie Spotlight".
     
    Horns Up and Happy Halloween!!

  • Episode 803: AC/DC/50
    Dec. 31, 1973, in the wilds of Australia, the legendary AC/DC played their very first gig. Effectively making 2024 their 50th (!!) anniversary.
     
    So obviously this is a big f'n deal. So we decided to give Angus and the Boys some time in our "Spotlight" episode. We go over some of our fave songs and albums, how we discovered the band and the (non) controversies. And of course the age old question - Bon vs. Brian?
     
    In our "News, Views and Tunes", we go over the recent discovery of a 235 yr old Mozart song. We tell a nazi punk to "Fvck Off!!" And we finally gave THAT Jethro Tull album a spin. Musically, we crank tunes from Hirax, Mortal Sin, Crystal Viper, Gruesome, Asexuals, Limp Wrist, ACXDC and the aforementioned Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (!!).
     
    Horns up!!
    2 hr 26 min
  • Episode 802: Powerfully Numb
    We now return to our regular programming.
     
    The legendary Iron Maiden are one of the greatest musical artists of all time. And the 80s is where they reigned supreme. Not just on the live front where they still do. But on the record racks as well.
     
    "Powerslave" was the epitome of 80s Maiden. And it recently celebrated its 40th anniversary! So it's a great time to feature this awesome album in our ongoing 1984 Albums Deep Dive. We dissect this important platter track by track. And share how we discovered the record and a few album cover artwork Easter Eggs.
     
    In our "News, Views and Tunes", we celebrated International Bat Man Day and discovered vinyl in our local Toys R Us (!!). Musically, we crank new and used from Witchkiller, Dark Heart, Deadly Blessing, Anti-System and Battle Born.
     
    Horns Up!!
    2 hr 21 min
  • Episode 801: JEJ R.I.P.
    We just lost one of the greats in one James Earl Jones.
     
    It's true doing a deep dive about a legendary actor is a bit out of our format. But we figured "Why not? Let's embrace our geekhood and pay tribute to a man that has a large following in Metaldom."
     
    Unfortunately, Aaron could not join us this week. So we brought in a couple ringers. Matt Copper is no stranger to the show. We've had him on a few times and is the co host of our sister show Wrestling Night In Canada. He's also a RAM alum. As well Snowy's daughter Charity joins us. Both grew up with JEJ' voice in their ears.
     
    Musically, we crank some Satan, Lions Pride, Wolfbrigade, Thulsa Doom (duh), Immortal Bird, Acid Mass and D.V.C. (Darth Vader's Church) (double duh).
     
    Horns Up!

  • Episode 800: 8-Oh-Oh
    Break out your poison of choice! Welcome to Episode 8 fn hundred! It's time to celebrate!!
     
    When we first went "on the air", nobody really knew what a podcast was. And now we remain one of the longest podcasts, Metal or otherwise. So this time we decided to sit back and relax and shoot the shite'. And of course, crank a fistful of Metal.
     
    We discuss Jason Newstead's reverb shop, some cool flix we saw and the "Hawk Tau" girl. Musically, we crank some Death, Pestilence, Cancer, Bitches Sin, Detente, Abigail, Wargasm, Zoetrope, Orange Goblin, Gallhammer, Birth A.D., Archagathus, Bastard Priest, Goatzilla and Dishammer.
