The biggest news on the hearts and minds of Metalheads the world over is the retirement of long time Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain. Having been behind the kit since the classic ’83 record “Piece Of Mind”, Metaldom just won’t be the same.

As is tradition, every significant retirement requires a proper send off. So we decided to have one for our listeners. We go over our fave Nicko skinbeating moments. We also share our choices of who we’d like to fill these big shoes. And finally, we go over Mr.McBrain’s menu for his Rock N Roll Ribs restaurant.

In our “News, Views and Tunes”, we have Xmas Hallmark (!!) movie recommends and some Roller Derby talk. Musically, we crank new Sacrifice, Thunderstick, Rock Goddess, Virtue, Ice War, Cardinal Noire, Raised By Owls and introduce TX tickets Mean Mistreater in our “Indie Spotlight”.

Horns up!!!
