  • Just like the publication, the podcast is reductive.

    I listen for the interviews, but excessive gate keeping has been an issue for all genres.

    Some episodes are good, but please stop dogging on other bands, genres, etc.

    With so much negativity in the world we should strive to be more positive about music. Music is such an escape from it all. We metal heads should be squashing the stereotypes, not reinforcing them.

    Just because someone likes pop, indie, folk, polka, whatever… if they find a connection with it, we’re all the same in that respe... more

  • I think it’s a good show, but the audio is so bad I can’t really tell

    I like the show, but every episode has someone calling in on what sounds like a phone with a bad connection. It’s a chore to listen to, which kind of defeats the purpose of a podcast. Even the guests sometimes call in for the interview and it’s hard to understand what’s being said. I don’t understand how they haven’t realized that this audio format ain’t workin’.

  • Now, this podcast really sucks

    This version of this podcast is so bad and predictable, it should be a drinking game.

    Every time the host mispronounce a word, talk about himself (or kid Dio) or a totally unrelated subject in a interview with great guest, or for every dimwitted comment by one of the co-hosts, take a shot.

    Sorry, but this podcast is what Vince Neil now is to singing... A shadow of its former self.

    BRING BACK GODLESS!

  • Shut up and get to the hits

    I got to say this podcast get some great talent for interviews but it takes 30-40 minutes to get to it with all the boring personal views on news along with the co-host keeps cutting in and out due to bad connection. If you listen, probably just get to the middle of the podcast.
