Radioactive Metal 746: ’93 Is 30

Ready to feel old? Remember the early 90s? Well, as of this year, 1993 is 30 effin’ years old! Wow! Times flies when you’re rocking and rolling. So we figured we’d do a deep dive into three decades ago and discover it wasn’t all Seattle, flannel and “hard alternative”. The year had a number of amazing albums, band debuts and news stories that rocked Metaldom. Musically, we have a stack…

Radioactive Metal 745: Poser Exposer

We’re all too familiar with “that person”. That individual who insists they “know it all” regardless of the topic at hand. As Metalheads it’s particularly irritating when these posers try horning in on beloved genre. But’s there’s always a way to trip them up. Heavy Metal is ripe with trivia that is common knowledge to us but would expose any claims-to-be. Namely, a Sabbath vocalist not named Dio or Ozzy….

Radioactive Metal 744: Genre Defiling

As a follower of Heavy Metal, how many times have you heard from a non-believer “It all sounds the same to me.” Our response – “You must be tone deaf considering the amount of sub genres that makes up our beloved music.” But are there to many? And is it a positive or a negative? This week we dive right into it and sort it all out. In our “News,…

Radioactive Metal 743: Bringin’ The Mayhem

This episode is a Good News/ Bad News situation. The Good News – The “Muppet Mayhem” TV series is up on Disney+. Being veteran Gen Xers, we’ll always have a soft spot in our Metal Hearts for The Muppet Show. Dr. Teeth And The Electric Mayhem were the house band for said show. And this show sees our fave band of Muppets trying to cut their long overdue debut. We…

Radioactive Metal 742: Free The Fourth

The month of May kicks ass! The first couple weeks has a couple kick ass events that caters to the geek in us. Sure we’re a Heavy Metal radio show but we don’t shy away from discussing some of our there interests. Mat The Fourth is a special day dedicated to all things Star Wars and for fans to celebrate their fandom. Just a few days later was Free Comic…

Radioactive Metal 741: Top 5 On The Six Strings

Guitar extraordinaire Nuno Bettancourt recently made headlines. He simply shared that none other than Prince himself once called him one of the Top 3 GOATs to ever bend the six strings. So we thought we’d one up His Highness and take a cue from Jon Kuzak from the awesome “High Fidelity” flick and share our Top 5 picks in both Metal and Rock categories. An interesting chat that you’d be…

Radioactive Metal 740: RSD – Stack O’ Waxx

Record Store Day 2023 is in the books. An awesome time was had by all. And we got a stack o’ wax to commemorate the event. So now we’re stoked to share our bounties and the stories that go along with them. Who knew just a trip to the record store would produce such cherished memories. Actually we did. In our “News, Views and Tunes”, we got up on our…

Radioactive Metal 739: Midnight Madness

The #1 topic in all of Metaldom is the new Metallica album. “72 Seasons” dropped late last week. And just like the last umpteenth albums from Lars and the Boys, the album has proven to be very divisive. But regardless of where you plant your flag with Camp Metallica, they always make for great conversation. This time out, we both lucked out and our local record shops had album listening…

Radioactive Metal 738: Issues/Non Issues

There was metric ton of stuff going down in Metaldom this week. So we couldn’t narrow it down to just one topic. This time ’round we get into the Bud Light/Kid Rock debacle, the Motley Crue/ Mick Mars legal mumbo jumbo, the “This is Hardcore” fest line up and, most importantly, we put the word out for a friend in need. In our “News, Views and Tunes’, we share war…

Radioactive Metal 737: Tragedy In Metaldom

There was really only one issue this to discuss this week. The tragedy at the Morbid Angel gig in Illinois is taking up the most space in the hearts and minds of the citizens of Metaldom. So this week we decided to simply pay tribute to our fallen comrade. Be sure to go to gofundme.com and do your part in helping the loved ones of Fred Livingston Jr. In our…

Radioactive Metal 736: Home Sweet Hell

RAM is no stranger to the idea of the “house show”. We’ve littered our “Metal Fix” with our experiences. But for the uninitiated, a house show is just as it sounds. A gig in someone’s house, generally the basement, as opposed to a club or small hall. And they’re always a lot of fun! We have another one coming up (on 4/20 even!!) So we figured it would be a…

Radioactive Metal 735: KISSing It Goodbye

It’s an old story we’ve all heard before. The legendary KISS have announced (again) that they’re packing up their make up kit and going home. Whatever you believe, Gene and The Boys have announced the final (?) 50 dates on the “End of the Road” tour finishing up in the hallowed halls of Madison Square Garden. So with that we do a deep dive into these historic final gigs. We…
