The Story of Rock and Roll: S6E20

S6E20 went out live on Rebel Rock Radio at 19h00 on 18 May 2023.  There is plenty to get your teeth into here.  We have all the greatest rock and roll in the world, see artists featured below.  The show starts off pretty fast-paced and delivers the goods via, Poison, Thin Lizzy, Stone Sour and a good mix of new and old.   We had a new track called ‘I Come From The Dirt’ from Texas Hippie Coalition.  The album is called The Name Lives On and is well worth your time if you haven't heard it.We had a short, sharp, and very entertaining five-minute interview with Peter Toussaint from Fourth Son South and we took a listen to their brand new single 'The Moon'.  As always with this weekly SA music presentation slot it went down very well.  In this week's Ultimate Challenge, we looked at 1990 and there were a ton of killer albums released over those 365 days.  The four that made the list were ACDC – The Razors Edge, Judas Priest – Painkiller, Queensrÿche – Empire, and Megadeth – Rust In Peace.  I was studying hard for a degree in 1990 and these albums were part of the soundtrack which made them extra special.   Due to technical reasons, ACDC dropped out and was replaced with Pantera - Cowboys From Hell.  Queensrÿche took it from Megadeth but it was close.  Earlier this week I did a Rock Review on Neil Young.  If you missed it you can find it on podcast.  On that Rock Review I wanted to play Neil's absolute classic track 'Cortez the Killer' but clocking in at 7:49 it would have swallowed up 11% of the show.  I kept it for this week's Immortals track and it went down very well.  For those who do not know TSORR Immortals are tracks that are considered too long for radio but that are classics and fully representative of what the band is capable of.  The show ended fairly quietly by TSORR standards.  the last 15 minutes is normally the heavier side of the show, for a change we were mellow with Bowie, Tom Petty, a rare Status Quo ballad, and The Killer's wonderful Miss Atomic Bomb.  Hope you enjoy it, Artists featured:  Poison, The Four Horsemen, Thunder, Thin Lizzy, U2, Texas Hippie Coalition, Stone Sour, Smith / Kotzen, Molly Hatchet, Adrenaline Mob, Phil Campbell, Ricky Warwick, Soundgarden, Five Finger Death Punch, Nashville Pussy, Green Day, Sum 41, Blink 182, Marvelous 3, Volbeat, Fourth Son South, Van Halen, Rainbow, BlackØwl, Doomsday Outlaw, Neil Young, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Pantera, Queensrÿche, Dave Hause, Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds, Marilyn Manson, David Bowie, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Status Quo, The Killers The Story of Rock and Roll.  TSORR - Your one-stop shop for Rock
