The Department of Metal Antiquities

In 1994, after many years of hibernation, Peter Criss returns with a new band simply named Criss.

The band drops an EP and an LP and subsequently goes on tour. What would have happened without the Kiss reunion? It's hard to say...

Join Nik and Duncan as they get into the album!

We discussed this and it might be true, but we might be stretching our mandate here with this episode, but largely this album, though it had a giant splash, has kind of been left in the ruins of the years.

In 2005, the core of Guns'n'Roses were joined by one of rock's greatest voices, Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots.

Join Nik and Duncan as we see what happened with this record.

or .... The Racketeers by Mad For the Racket? It doesn't really appear that anybody knows what this band and album are called.

Anyway, Duff McKagan of Guns'n'Roses joins with Wayne Kramer of MC5, Brian James of The Damned, and Stewart Copeland of the Police.....???

Check it all out right?

Well, after the Revenge Era Kiss lineup broke up, Eric Singer decided to get with his old buddy, Bruce Kulick, and his new buddy John Corabi, and somehow all three of them's newest buddy, Karl Cochrane.

Sadly, we couldn't find the one with Karl, so we did this live record instead.

Enjoy!

Check out some great music by Duncan!

In 1986, Terry Glaze was given a two week notice from Pantera. Instead of diffusing the tensions in the band, he just walked away.

In time, Phil Anselmo fills his shoes and finishes the album they had been recording.

It was called Power Metal.

This week Nik and Duncan talk it out.

In 1997, 18 months after having dropped the double LP, Load, Metallica did the unthinkable, they dropped a second double LP entitled Reload.

Though these albums were intended to be a single project, they eventually became two.

Join Nik and Duncan as they dig into the songs from this record that don't really get a whole lot of attention.

In 1999, Ed Hunter is an in production video game that hastily shows Blaze Bayley his exit from Iron Maiden because they got offered too much money to reunite with Bruce Dickinson.

Bayley had a career both before and after Iron Maiden.

Join Nik and Duncan as they deep dive into his first Post Maiden release, "Silicon Messiah."

Jim Morrison died on July 3rd, 1971. What many fans of the band didn't know is that at the time, the rest of the band were Stateside working on what was going to be the follow up to L.A. Woman in the hopes that Jim would return from Paris to complete it.

He never did and the rest of the band carried on without him, at first all together, and later separate.

Here Nik and Duncan take in the last time the Doors entered into a studio in order to record an album. (An American Prayer features Jim's vocals...so it doesn't count.)

Should we spin it or bin it? Listen to find out!

It was 2005 and everybody was doing it, so Ozzy did it too, but he did it with serious backup.

Ozzy enlists the allstar band of Mike Bordin of Faith No More on the drums. Chris Wyse of The Cult and later Ace Frehley on bass. What does he do about a six string gunslinger?

He gets Jerry MF Cantrell of Alice In Chains.

Now that he has this all star band to kill all all star bands does he set about writing an album the define his career and crush all comers?

No.

He does a covers record.

In January of 1980, Led Zeppelin dies. We discuss the demise of Zeppelin along with what could have happened should Bonham had survived.

Nik and Duncan dive deep in to the history and tracks of the first Post-Led Zeppelin solo project.
