The Story of Rock and Roll: Episode 43

Episode 43 of The Story of Rock and Roll Radio Show aired at the stroke of midnight on 8 November 2019.  We were straight into it with a brand new release by Airbourne, who were referred to as “the thinking man’s ACDC” by a quick witted listener.  The pace stayed right where it was all the way through Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Marilyn Manson and Iron Maiden.  Next we hit a short blast of Punk with the amazing Brody Dalle before going off to the movies for a few tracks.   Speculation is rife that we will get to see KISS in July next year so we took a listen to them.  The highlight of the show for me was taking a listen to Metallica’s  ‘The Four Horsemen’.  It’s amazing how refreshing that track sounded and it was a great reminder of just how cutting edge they were back in 1983.  The speakers in the studio are really good so I got to hear it properly at about one thirty a.m. and had the speakers glowing red by the end of the show.  It must be really cool to be driving a big truck through the night and to have that track come over the airwaves like a fucking super nova.  After a false start we got our weekly dose of Cold Chisel and we also got to hear one of those bands you can’t play on the radio. Artists featured in this episode include:  ZZ Top, My Chemical Romance, Sugar Drive, Airbourne, The Mayfield Four, Kiss, Badlands, Joe Bonamassa, Kid Rock, Metallica, The Distillers, Marilyn Manson, Foo Fighters, Guns ‘n’ Roses, Northward, Steel Panther, The Drop Kick Murphy’s, Halford, Cold Chisel, Stone Temple Pilots, Oasis, Def Leppard, Hinder, The Rolling Stones, Iron Maiden as well as Mick Jagger & Dave Stewart. The Story of Rock and Roll.  TSORR - Your one-stop shop for Rock
