  • The Station Nightclub | 27
    Oct 29 2024
    When you go to a big, loud rock show, you want a spectacle…lights, lasers, special effects, and, if all goes well, lots of pyro…flames, explosions, smoke bombs—they all add to the theatricality of it all. But if you’re going to blow stuff up and have open flames onstage, you gotta be careful…not only do you have to abide by health and safety regulations, local laws, and local building codes, you have to be very aware of the venue itself. Can it handle your pyro?... If it can’t—or if you don’t police people who insist of lighting up their own munitions—the results can be deadly…and so far in the 21st century, there have been too many of these incidents. This is the story of one particular night in west Warwick, Rhode Island…it should have been a typical night of metal at a nondescript 500-person venue…instead, it was one of the worst building fires in American history. I’m Alan Cross and this is “Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music History”…and this is the scary story of the station nightclub fire… Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • The Randy Rhoads-Travis Barker Plane Crashes | 26
    Oct 15 2024
    What do Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens, patsy cline, Jim Croce, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ricky Nelson, and Stevie Ray Vaughn have in common? ...they all died when the private aircraft in which they were flying crashed. Holly, the Big Bopper, and Valens were on a single-engine six-seater Beechcraft bonanza when it went down in bad weather in an Iowa cornfield in February 1959…Cline and two other musicians died in March 1963 when their six-seater piper Comanche…bad weather was to blame there, too. Jim Croce was onboard an 11-seater Beechcraft twin-engine when it hit a tree on takeoff from and airport in Louisiana…fog and pilot error. In October 1977, a chartered Convair CV-240 carrying members of Lynyrd Skynyrd and their crew somehow ran out of gas and crashed into a Mississippi swamp…i tell that story in episode 1 of this podcast. On December 3, 1985, Ricky Nelson was on an old DC-3 when an heater on the plane caught fire and crash-landed in a Texas cow pasture. And Stevie Ray Vaughn was in a helicopter leaving a Wisconsin music festival on August 27, 1990…it ended up all over the side of a ski hill…it was foggy and while the pilot was certified to fly a fixed-wing aircraft under such conditions, he wasn’t licensed to fly a helicopter. There are many more examples, but I think I’ve made my point. On this episode, I want take a close look at two more private plane crashes that are still widely discussed…there’s the accident that nearly killed blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and killed several other people…and the other crazy story of the aircraft accident that killed Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Randy Rhoads.
