Eddy & Eric are back and bringing whiskey to the party tonight. We’re joined by our friends Ryan T Russell and Johnny Vogan to drink and talk about the classic 1980 release from Van Halen: Women & Children First. An album and episode and a night so epic, we had to split it in two. In Part I we discuss Van Halen and the first half of this album and ask the following questions: Is Alex Van Halen the unsung hero of the band? Did Michael Anthony contribute much to Van Halen? Is 1980 the best year for Hard Rock and Metal music ? And did anyone buy that horrible Van Hagar box set?
We also discuss the recent feud between Dave and Wolfgang. We have more Sammy Hagar hate and more praise of the legendary music of Van Halen and one of our guests channels his inner David Lee Roth mojo for a surprising but awesome departure. Check Junior’s grades and Take Your Whiskey Home because Everyone Wants Some in this epic two-part episode…!!

Parental Advisory Explicit Content. We’re joined by our good friend Sam “The Man” Wetz to discuss AC/DC’s dirtiest album ever: Ballbreaker. With an in depth lyrical breakdown of songs like “Cover You in Oil” and “The Honey Roll”, you’ll be shocked by just how lewd and politically incorrect AC/DC was in 1995. Is Ballbreaker a concept album about perpetual male ejaculation? Is Ballbreaker also a politically reactionary album with a bias against the Clinton administration? Did the release of the album cause the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal to happen? Also was Ballbreaker a reaction to casual fans who got into them with The Razor’s Edge? Why don’t AC/DC still play “Hard as a Rock” and “Ballbreaker” in concert? What do we think of the “Big Gun” single and Rick Ruben as a producer? We also discuss the righteous return of Phil Rudd, what Rudd brings to the band, Beavis and Butt-head’s role in AC/DC’s classic rock canonization, AC/DC in the grunge era, the dark and bluesy influence of Powerage on Ballbreaker and we say “balls” even more than we did in our last episode. So pour yourself a whiskey on the rocks, get ready to break some balls and whatever you do: don’t let your wives or daughters hear what you’re listening to!!

On this episode we are joined by none other than Jeff “Wild Man” Beers to discuss one of the ballsiest albums ever 1984’s Balls To The Wall by Accept. We discuss how important this German band is to Heavy Metal. We discuss the controversy surrounding the album and how many considered it “Gay Metal”and how ballsy Accept was for releasing an album like this in the early 80s. We talk about Eric and Eddy’s odd fear of Udo when first seeing the Balls To The Wall video. Is balls to the wall the ultimate wrestling song? Did Udo’s looks affect the band’s chance at bigger success in the USA? Would a song called German Bathhouse be a good metal tune?

Eric and Eddy return with a metal-punk crossover extravaganza! We’re joined by YouTube’s Rich Talks Records to discuss Iggy and the Stooges’ seminal album: Raw Power. Proto punk? Proto metal? Or is it just a great rock ‘n’ roll record? Or maybe one of us doesn’t even like it much?? We also debate the album’s two different mixes (the David Bowie mix and the Iggy Pop mix). So if you like some danger and power in your rock music, this episode is for you…!!

Eddy calls out Eric for not including a Dokken classic on his list! What should have been the lead single from Under Lock & Key? Also did Metallica really own Dokken and every other 80s metal band back in the day??? All this and more as we get into the Dokken songs that made the Top Ten

We’re joined by our good friend and fellow Beatle fanatic Charles Traynor to discuss one of the Fab Four’s lowest selling albums: Beatles For Sale. In addition to a track by track review, we answer the following questions: Does the album deserve to be a dark horse in the Beatles catalogue? Are the Beatles’ early albums on a whole neglected by modern fans? Is “Mr. Moonlight” truly the worst Beatles’ song ever? Is Beatles For Sale proto gothabilly? Was John a stalker? Was Paul brokenhearted by John? Was Ringo a good country singer? Was George a coldblooded gangsta with the ladies? Who was the best musician in the Beatles? Who was the weakest musician? What do we think about John Lennon’s solo career and Yoko Ono? What do we think about Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love? What do we think about Buddy Holly?

Grab that flannel and put on that frown because we’re taking you back to 1993 when Seattle bands reigned supreme! We’re joined by our friend Andy Rodriguez (Blackspinner’s Circle) to discuss Pearl Jam’s sophomore album Vs. In addition to an in depth, track-by-track album review, we discuss our history with the band, whether they should be categorized as “grunge” or not, our thoughts on grunge in general and the Seattle bands of the early 90s, Headbanger’s Ball vs 120 Minutes, Eddie Vedder’s voice and personality, anti rock stardom, Pearl Jam’s influence, Pearl Jam vs Ticketmaster, Mother Love Bone, daughters with learning difficulties, gun control and elderly women behind counters in small towns.

We’re tailgating outside a Metallica show, drinking beer and rapping with a young Canadian named Josh Henhoeffer about the band’s $5.98 E.P. – Garage Days Re-Revisited (a.k.a. The $9.98 CD ). We drunkenly turned a review of a 25 minute EP into a three hour plus metal extravaganza!!!! In addition to an insanely detailed, track by track review of the EP, we discuss Metallica in general, our history with the band, the difference between the band pre and post Black Album, the original Garage Days Revisited and other related B-sides, Columbia House CD swindles, discovering new music before the internet, the musical influences of Metallica, the punk aesthetic of 1980s thrash metal and the Angry Video Game Nerd! We also ponder such important questions as: did Metallica do well by Diamond Head (after, y’know, ripping them off), is Jason Newsted a good bassist, picks vs fingers, mustaches vs tattoos, did Kirk Hammett actually write his own guitar solos, does Kirk cry more than Dave Mustaine, and how many mini hotrods does it take for James to destroy Lars’s entire Picasso collection? Josh also interrupts us like a billion times, but it’s only because he’s so excited to be in our awesome presence. If you love eighties Metallica and tolerate some of their later output, grab a six pack and join us in the parking lot. And if the greedy internet tries to charge you more than $5.98 or $9.98 for this episode, STEAL IT!

It’s time to pour that brown ale, thrust your sabres and Up the Irons, because we’re talking some Maiden with our guest Travis Perrotta. We review their 1983 album Piece of Mind. In addition to discussing every track, we debate whether it’s a true metal classic or overrated by Maiden fans. Other topics include: Clive Burr vs Nicko McBrain, the myth of Icarus and why he might not be the best role model, literal dinosaur rock, can a bass scale be considered “a hook”, and who’s more pretentious Steve Harris or Bruce Dickinson? There’s also a surprise visit from Travis’s air conditioner and the band Sonata Arctica gets the only exposure they’ll ever receive. If you love Maiden, this episode is for you. If you hate Maiden, this episode is for you.

We’re joined once again by Samuel “Sam The Man” Wetz to tackle one of Eddy’s favorite bands: The Melvins! In addition to a detailed, track-by-track review of their 1994 album Stoner Witch, we discuss the various music styles of the band, why they never were as big as the more MTV-friendly Seattle grunge bands, what Gene Simmons thinks of the Melvins and what they think of his band KISS (there you go, kids, some more KISS talk). Sam also makes Eric and Eddy laugh repeatedly by doing funny voices. It’s an episode so madcap and gonzo, even that snarky art rocker Buzz Osborne might approve…!!!

“Listen!” Syncin’ Stanley joins us again for an in-depth discussion of KISS’s Dynasty. Is it the last true KISS album or the first fake KISS album?

What’s Eddy’s favorite KISS song and is it on this album? What were the musical and sexual politics within the band in 1979? Was Peter Criss a coked-up trainwreck or a pimptastic super stud? And what’s the real reason Syncin’ Stanley hides in his car when recording these episodes with us? All these questions and more are answered in an episode so epic, we talk about “Dirty Livin’” for over 15 minutes alone…!!!!
