The Story of Rock and Roll: S7E21

S7E21 went out Live on Rebel Rock Radio at 19h00 on 23 May 2024.  It was busy as always, something for everyone.   Just a note, 4  min from the end when I say goodnight the mic cuts out for some reason so there is a short gap before the outro track, Imagine someone saying who the previous tracks were, and thanks for listening, and be careful out there.  In Evolutions we continue to look at the evolution of the Foo Fighters, this week's track was ‘Learning To Fly’.  The Twisted Twins featured tracks called ‘The Reckoning’.  The first one came from Dee Snider and the second one came from Halestorm.       Immortals this week came from Deep Purple, the track was ‘Mistreated’ off the Burn album.  I doubt anyone will argue about its Immortal status.  Richie Blackmore wrote it just before he left the band and David Coverdale sang it on the Burn album where this version comes from.  Blackmore took it with him to Rainbow and Ronnie James Dia did it justice for many years.  I had the pleasure of hearing Glenn Hughes do it solo on acoustic guitar with Kings of Chaos at Sun City.   The Diabolical Challenge looked at four bands beginning with the letter ‘U’.  The idea is that we have 4 albums, and you can only pick one.  This week we had: Ugly Kid Joe – America’s Least WantedUFO – Lights OutUriah Heep – Look at YourselfU2 – Achtung Baby Bomb Crocodile and Slow Panda’s picks of the week were Dave Hause’s ‘Pedal Down’ and Dire Straits with ‘Sultans of Swing’. Good news on the Google Play Podcast issue if you listen to TSORR on Google Podcasts they are shutting it down and forcing podcasters onto YouTube Music.  I got a message from them kindly telling me that I could transfer all my Podcasts including The Story of Rock and Roll to the YouTube Music platform.  It was dead simple it all moved across in about 30 seconds.  All the TSORR shows are there and it all works great.  You should get one too if you use Google for TSORR Podcasts.  Just follow the steps.  If you have problems you can find us on plenty of other sites.  The TSORR website www.thestoryofrockandroll.com will always be able to help.  You can also always contact TSORR on Facebook, X or Instagram.     Artists Featured: Corey Taylor, Dangerous Toys, Firehouse, Metallica, BlackØwl, Fastrack, The Saints, Brave Rival, Joe Bonamassa, Laura Cox, Girish & the Chronicles, Kickin’ Valentina, Dee Snider, Halestorm, Sebastian Bach, Dokken, Bod Dylan, Tom Petty, Foo Fighters, Black Star Riders, Five Finger Death Punch, System of a Down, Tank, Edguy, Kerry King, Slipknot, Deep Purple, Ugly Kid Joe, UFO, Uriah Heep, U2, My Chemical Romance, Nickelback, Dire Straits, Dave Hause, Wolf Hoffman, The UninvitedThe Story of Rock and Roll.  TSORR - Your one-stop shop for Rock
