The Metal Shop

Part 3 of our tribute to the Prince of Darkness!  Sorry about the delay, technical difficulties and Frog was moving.

Its part 2 of our tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, going over our favorite songs!

The day that seemed like it would never come, finally came. We said goodbye to the godfather of metal, Ozzy Osbourne. 17 days after his farewell concert, Ozzy passed away. We talk about his final show, his legacy, and our memories of Ozzy over the years. R.I.P., see you on the other side.

Not every kick ass riff comes from a metal song. This episode we're talking about our favorite non metal riffs!

We're talking about the 2024 Hall of Fame class, and the recent Tony Martin era Black Sabbath remasters!

On this episode we take a look at Rolling Stone's list of greatest guitarists and discuss ones we think are underrated.

Often considered one of the biggest blunders for KISS, the solo albums marked the start of a decline in popularity for the band. We asked ourselves: Could this project be salvaged as a proper KISS album? We cherry picked tracks from all 4 to put together a hypothetical track list, just in time to get sued by their avatars or something!

On this episode we talk about the new Metallica album, and the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame

Little bit of a grab bag episode, we're talking about seeing Maiden live on the recent tour, and our thoughts on Rob Zombie's "Munsters"

We're getting meta with our metal. Talking about our favorite (and some least favorite) metal songs that are about metal, plus some metal news!

Ok, so Covid isn't actually GONE, but apparently we a decided it was anyway.  We do a run down on the state of metal after the worst pandemic in a century, and discuss the Hall of Fame nomination we thought would never come.

We're back! Sorry about the unexplained absence, we both just had a really busy start to 2022.  We're back to recording more regularly and have some fun things planned coming up. This episode we're talking about Rob Zombie. He's solo career and film making one. Enjoy! 

The year is almost over, and for this episode we're talking White Zombie, and more!

Happy Halloween everyone! Sorry about the delay (life is hectic lately) but just in time we have our episode on Iommi's most evil riffs, along with some metal news!

You heard the worst, now here's the best! Our favorite cover songs!

For every epic cover song in rock and metal history, there are probably ten awful ones.  We're going "undercover" to unearth 10 of the most heinous crimes in cover song history. 

Sometimes even our favorite artists make huge mistakes, these are some of the biggest missteps in rock and metal history (In our opinion) 

We're getting close to reopening and summer is around the corner, what better time to talk party songs?

Nothing fancy this time, just talking some more kick ass guitar riffs!

We decided to make this our annual tradition, we break down the 2021 Hall of Fame nominees, and who we think has the best chance of getting it 

This is it, the episode VH fans have been waiting for: our final tribute to the legendary Edward Van Halen is a deep dive into the self titled debut of the mighty Van Halen!

We send off 2020 and talk about the goings on in the world of metal in the bizarre year that was.  We'll be back soon with our final Van Halen episode!

We continue our trip in the way back machine, covering the Dave era of the mighty Van Halen!

On October 6th, we lost a legend.  We decided to do an album by album dive into his career, but for fun, we're doing it in reverse!  In part 1 we'll cover "A Different Kind of Truth", Van Halen III, and the entire Sammy Hagar era.   

The wind blows through your hair as you slay the mighty red dragon and save the realm!  Not really, but power metal will paint that picture for you! Is it cheesy? Sure, but at least it's fun.
