The Story of Rock and Roll: S8E4

S8E4 was prerecorded on 22 Jan 2025 to allow me to attend the Green Day, Offspring, and Fokofpolisiekar gig live in Cape Town on 23 Jan the night this show went out on Rebel Rock Radio.   And what a gig it was.  It seems like forever since South Africa got International bands of that calibre.  The last time I was out for a show was for Guns N’ Roses in 2018, and then Covid happened and KISS got cancelled and that was the last time I was at a live gig.  So, it was amazing and one of the best shows I have ever seen.  Hats off to Fokofpolisiekar who show just how good they are amongst the best international acts in the world  Anyway back to this show.  We had all the normal features; Twisted Triplets, Evolutions:  Judas Priest, The Immortals, and This Week in Rock and Metal, PLUS The  Diabolical Challenge is back.  We looked at four albums produced  Martin Birch.  Heaven & Hell, The Number of the Beast, Rising, and Assault Attack by Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Rainbow and Michael Schenker Group respectively.   Artists featured:  Scorpions, Ozzy Osbourne, Emigrate, Def Leppard, Saxon, Rose Tattoo, ACDC, Goodbye June, The L.A.
