Description: In this episode we discuss the history and lives of the band and the members of “Black Sabbath”. This band is one of the oldest metal bands there is. Flack and I discuss their music, how they formed, what members … Continue reading →

I really enjoy doing this show. Next up is Billy Idol. That's metal, right?

Damn you and your iTunes alphabetizing Robert O'Hara!

Listening to two guys that don't know anything about Black Sabbath talk about Black Sabbath gave me a stomach ache.

I think we both went into that episode thinking the other one knew more about the band.

Haha. BTW. My current youtube obsession is this Black Sabbath cover band.

What happened to Billy Idol????

He is busy dancing with himself. But he will show up eventually.

I am going to throw out an opinion and then never come back to defend it. I think Billy Idol is TERRIBLE. He dresses up like a tough guy, but his songs are all the softest shit I've ever heard.

Mony Mony may be the worst song of all-time. I realize he covered it, but he did it poorly as well. What an awful melody. Unearthly repetitive. I change it every time it comes on.

"Dancing with Myself"? Pretty hard rock there, Billy!

He has others that are also terrible. Does he have a single hard rock song? He's Dan Folgerberg with a metal bracelet.

I'd say that's what made Billy Idol unique. He took his punk rock style and Steve Stevens' hard rock style and fused them both with new wave dance music and created a genre that was totally his own lane.
