Also, Wayne, Eric and Lou play some ECW-related music trivia. Let’s get EXTREME!

2020 has been a crazy year. Survived lockdown, survived quarantine. Survived surgery, and survived covid-19. What’s the one thing this year has taught me? Stop putting people on pedestals and idolizing them. Chances are they are POSs. Think for yourself!

Matt Mikolow and Bob Mango return to “Music Is Life” with Lou Mavs where we discuss our top 10 Metal albums. Some you may like, or love, or hate, or make you say WTF. REMEMBER - these are OUR OPINIONS! And if you don’t like that? Stay tuned to the end of the episode for a special message.

In a time of pandemic and social decay, priorities matter. The last 100 days for your host in a nutshell.

Wayne Noon of Rat Salad Review joins me on this discussion of “Darkside of the Ring: The Death of Owen Hart.” And Wayne grills me on “Cannibal Holocaust” (no pun intended).

My opinion on this season of Dark Side of the Ring, a farewell to Bob Kulick, and my review of “Cannibal Holocaust” (SPOILERS!).

Aside from music, I cherish my friends and family most. This episode, I reunite with my old friends from St. John’s Univeristy - Bob Mango and Matt Mikolow. We talk about what it was like as music fans then and now. Please support Matt by checking out his personal training website: https://alphaflexfitness.com/, and also check out his YouTube channel that he owns with his lovely lady Cindy Jairam:...

Ehhh...it could...it may not...I have no idea!

Which 80s throwback baboons do I call out on this episode?

What I’ve been doing since this broke out, and a suggestion on what all musicians should do when it’s over.

Uugh! Another night, another rant for the ills of the music industry. Enjoy.

Moneygrabs! Moneygrabs EVERYWHERE! And the 2020 Rock & Roll Hall of Shame Inductees

My tribute to the greatest drummer ever IMO.

So from 09-17, I was playing bass onstage. I explain the necessity on why I started playing guitar again. Also, my thoughts on radio DJ’s who shill for legacy artists while ignoring current artists. Plus...is Frank Marino right? Are we seeing the death of the music industry?

Lotsa music news about recent reunions (aka MONEYGRAB!) and also my opinion on the late, great Allan Holdsworth.

Going a little off the beaten path with this episode. My reviews of “Joker” and “Dolemite Is My Name” (spoilers!) while analyzing statements from Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and that schmuck James Cameron. Plus, James Gunn rules!

Call back on points from last week (R&RHoF, EVH), and discussing Nikki Sixx’s tirade on Steel Panther. Plus, why I think social media is great...but mostly why I can’t stand it too.

You don’t set out to join the hall of fame when you play music. So why should we care about it? Simple - we don’t! (By the way; I tried editing certain words because I curse a lot on this episode...but editing takes too much effort, so f**k it; LOL!)

My opinion on musicians and artists who were influential, but horrible human beings.
