The Story of Rock and Roll: S7E19

S7E19 went out Live on Rebel Rock Radio at 19h00 on 9 May 2024.  Winter is coming to Johannesburg so this show helped to warm up the airwaves.  We kicked off with Blackfoot of Tomcattin’ and a track called 'Gimme, Gimme, Gimme'.  From there on out it was all the rock and metal we could squeeze in from the last 55 years.   Continuing with Evolutions we took in a track off The Foo Fighters' second album The Color and The Shape.     Just to reiterate please NOTE that if you listen to TSORR on Google Podcasts they are shutting it down and forcing podcasters onto YouTube Music.  The problem with that is you just can’t get through the red tape and the shows get blocked due to the convoluted licencing structures.  You can find us on plenty of other sites if this happens.  The TSORR website www.thestoryofrockandroll.com will always be able to help.  You can also always contact TSORR on Facebook, X, or Instagram.     This week's Twisted Twins featured tracks called ‘Reason to Believe’.  Bruce Springsteen and Arch Enemy did the honours.     Immortals this week came from Gary Moore and a track called 'Blood of Emeralds'.  It was tempting to give ‘Parisienne Walkways’ a go but traditionally we stay more obscure with immortals.  Maybe next time.     The Diabolical Challenge looked at four bands beginning with the letter ‘S’.  The idea is that we have 4 albums, and you can only pick one.  This week we had: Scorpions – Love At First StingSaxon – Wheels of SteelSeether – GasolineSkid Row – Skid RowWe also had Bomb Crocodile and Slow Panda's Picks of the Week featuring birthday boy Joe Bonamassa and Spiritbox.Check out the website to sign up for the monthly TSORR newsletterArtists Featured: Blackfoot, Badlands, Theory of a Deadman, Boston, Van Halen, Massive Wagons, Kickin’ Valentina, Backyard Babies, Patti Smith, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, John Cougar, Last In Line, Def Leppard, Bruce Springsteen, Arch Enemy, Nirvana, Mick mars, Daughtry, Disturbed, Foo Fighters, Godsmack, Karen Zoid (feat Dan Patlansky), Dan Patlansky, The Black Cat Bones, Springbok Nude Girls, Gary Moore, Scorpions, Saxon, Skid Row, Seether, The Clash, The Stranglers, the Fismits, Joe Bonamassa, Spiritbox, Ghost Brigade, Billy idolThe Story of Rock and Roll.  TSORR - Your one-stop shop for Rock
