Episode Description

Episode 9: Blood Runs Cold (with Sean McGinity)

This week, your Regarding…Slang hosts Wolfie, Scotzo, podcasting overlord Corey, and Chaz are joined by podcaster, musician, and boneless podcasting mainstay Sean McGinity as they explore one of Slang’s most haunting tracks — “Blood Runs Cold.”

Before the needle drops, the crew reminisces about their Def Leppard origin stories, the formative power of B-sides, and the eternal debate: is Pyromania for the cool kids or just a gateway to leather pants and Union Jack tees? Sean shares how the album’s basslines hit differently on a new sound system, while Corey and Chaz debate whether “Blood Runs Cold” is Def Leppard at their most vulnerable or just a power ballad with extra atmosphere.

The song itself? A bluesy, ethereal tribute to the late Steve Clark, with lyrics that cut deeper the more you know the backstory. The gang dissects Joe Elliott’s vocal performance, Phil Collen’s songwriting, and the emotional weight behind lines like “living is the best revenge.” Scott draws parallels to dreamy Connecticut jam bands, while Corey and Wolfie argue over the merits of the rough mix versus the album cut. Along the way, they debate who’s really singing those background harmonies, and whether Def Leppard’s signature sound needs more polish or more rawness.

This episode features:

🎸 Sean McGinity’s tales from the Sean Geek and Fast Fret podcast, plus news of a secret Boneless Records project

🥁 A forensic listen to the guitar solo and the subtle piano touches

🗳️ Unanimous praise for a song that’s equal parts tribute and therapy session

🍗 Breaking news on boneless chicken recalls and KFC’s latest menu shakeups

By the end, the crew is equal parts introspective and irreverent, just like Def Leppard channeling grief into melody. But one thing’s for sure: when the riffs are heartfelt and the harmonies are fragile, even the boneless couch philosophers get a little misty-eyed — and somewhere, a Def Leppard fan is crying.

The Show
