I've been waiting to do this video since I started the channel. This is where we talk about what it was like... what it was like watching Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and all the other grunge bands explode, and watching helplessly as our favorite hair metal bands faded into oblivion. I think you can still hear the resentment in our voices. This is a special episode, I really mean that.

If you've followed the channel, you know that I'm a HUGE KISS fan. So why has it taken so long to record this video? Maybe because I knew some of my opinions would be unpopular? Luckily, I had Metal Mike on to share his even worse opinions! Just kidding, Mike!

We've all had 'em... albums we heard of back in the day that we just didn't get into--for whatever reason--until recently. Today The Guru is joined by Ryan, Mariah, Jason, and Jay to talk about 5 of those albums!

Erik Gronwall said he was living Skid Row because of his health... but he seems to be busier than ever now! Patrick and I discuss what is a very confusing... and maybe hypocritical... situation.

Bill Leverty is one of the genuinely good guys in rock, so when the opportunity came to sit down and chat about the career of Firehouse, I took it. And we discussed it all... the beginnings of the band. Finding CJ. Getting help from Dana Strum & Bon Jovi. The high and lows of the 90s. CJ's illness and, ultimately, his death. Finding Nate Peck, and, yes, recording new music. I hope you enjoy this interview.
