The Department of Metal Antiquities

This week Nik and Duncan check out the first solo record by Jack Bruce.

Yes, it's literally that Ben Stiller. The one you know and I hate.

But when I heard he had a no wave punk band, I knew it was just right for the Department of Metal Antiquities.

Join us as we dive in!

In 1988, Black Sabbath is in a slump. It's time for the once again revised line up of Iommi, Martin, and some kids from the neighborhood deliver the record that Black Sabbath fans will cry for.

Sabbath is on a new label and ready to show the world. Tony Martin may have gotten the wrong idea about the lyrics, but riffs?

Am I right?

Imagine you're sitting across from the greatest record producer of your age. A man who's made Alice Cooper a star, a man who turned your dinky record to a worldwide hit, and not just that...

But this is Bob Ezrin, the man who helmed the creation of the greatest record of all time, The Wall.

He's looking you in the eye and telling you it's time to reinvent yourselves with a concept record.

Strap in for Kiss's most amazing mistake.

Thanks!!!!!!

In the beginning, Rush, like many bands was trying to be The blank's Led Zeppelin. As we all know, that didn't work out. Instead, they simply became Rush.

Join Nik, Duncan, and special guest Don de Leaumont, as they dig deeply into the very first Rush record.

In late 2000, Tony Iommi released his long rumoured solo effort.

This was the third attempt at Iommi to get an album released under his own name, and it finally succeeded!

Join Nik and Duncan as they dig into the songs to see if each guest vocalist succeeded too.
