    Back in the Saddle Again
    Oct 19 2022

    We’re back from our summer hiatus and are ready to rock! Sailor and Ed welcome guest co-host Twig, our metalhead friend, while Matt is away on dad duty. On this episode we try to explain the phenomenon of why music from our early formative years seems so much better than the new music we hear as adults. Ed even has some new music recommendations for rock and metal fans. So grab a glass of your favorite whiskey and join us as we discuss and debate!

  • YES - More Than A Band

    YES - More Than A Band
    Jul 4 2022

    It's the first part of our progressive rock series where we will dive into the history of the most influential bands in the prog-rock genre. On this episode we start with one of the earliest prog-rock bands, Yes! Who is "Yes"? Why should you care? Their catalog of music is so extensive you may know this band's music and not even realize it! We attempt to scratch the surface of the long and convoluted career of this band where the term "band" seems woefully inadequate!

    Skid Row, With Guest Co-host Britt Lightning
    May 25 2022
    On this episode of Metal, Rock & Whiskey we are very excited to have a special co-host and returning guest, Britt Lightning of Vixen, and Rock & Roll Fantasy Camp! Join us as we once again revisit our hair metal series and dive into a discussion about a metal band that hit the scene with a bang in 1989, "Skid Row"! What is it that makes them stand out from the crowd and why is Sebastian Bach's hair so magical? We will also do a deep dive into their first two albums "Skid Row" (1989) and "Slave to the Grind" (1991) and determine which one we think is superior.

    With the tragic and recent death of "Foo Fighters" drummer, Taylor Hawkins, we decided it was high time that we dedicated an episode to this band! Join us for a discussion of one of the most exciting and popular rock bands of the late 90's and early 2000's. How exactly did the Foo Fighters come to be, and what makes them so special? We discuss this at length and try to decide which of their albums featuring Taylor Hawkins, are our favorites. As always, we manage to fit in a lively discussion about whiskey. Listen to find out more about the Foo Fighters as well as what's in our glasses! Cheers! Ask to join our Facebook Group, “Metal Rock Whiskey”.
