'I Want My Al TV!'

Let's face it: everyone...EVERYONE...knows at least one song by "Weird Al" Yankovic. This week, John and Kevin's Big Stupid Podcast joins us to talk about The King of Novelty himself: from his permeation into the very fabric of pop culture, to his songs (both originals & parodies), live performances, and endless movie cameos!

We usually try to keep things positive on Tunestiles, but that all changes this week! As self-proclaimed music-nerds, we've all been to our fair share of concerts, and at those we've witnessed some pretty insane things...outside of music.  

In this episode: Comedian Sean Morton joins us to talk about our collective concert pet peeves and what proper concert etiquette should be. We won't spill everything here, but we will state the obvious in two simple words: common sense!!!

In this episode: we talk with Sons Of Apollo’s lead singer Jeff Scott Soto about the band’s upcoming studio album “MMXX,” their performance with a full symphony orchestra (which was released as a concert film and CD in 2019), and what it’s like to work within this prog rock supergroup along side Mike Portnoy, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, Billy Sheehan, and Derek Sherinian.

We also dive into Jeff’s amazing body of work outside of SOA, including his work with Journey, Yngwie Malmsteen, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, W.E.T., S.O.T.O., Kryst the Conqueror (which featured Jerry Only And Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstien), and Steel Dragon (the fictional band that’s the centerpiece for the movie “Rock Star.”)
