Chrissie Hynde and her fellow Pretenders set out on paths that brought them together for an amazing, but all too short run, in their original form. We explore the sad stories about Jimmy and Pete passing, and how Chrissie and drummer Martin Chambers have carried on through the decades. We seem to learn new things about people, who we have followed for years, on a weekly basis. This episode is no exception!

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes Beverly, a longtime Bruce Springsteen fan from Missouri now living in Kentucky, to discuss how Springsteen’s writing—especially around gender and politics—has resonated throughout her life. Beverly shares growing up with little music at home, discovering Bruce through “Dancing in the Dark” at 17, and how Born in the U.S.A. became her gateway to the full catalog. She recounts missing the Born in the U.S.A. tour, first seeing Bruce on the Human Touch/Lucky Town tour, later seeing the E Street Band on the Reunion Tour, and attending about 25 shows including...

Most bands toil for years honing their sound, locking down their lineup, playing gigs around their hometown and then regionally before hitting it big. Though the predecessor to Boston, Mother's Milk, did play gigs in Massachusetts, the visionary on the sound that would become Boston's trademark was Tom Scholz. Tom was not your typical rock star in that he had a master's degree from MIT and was working as an engineer at Polaroid while strategizing on his musical career. He wanted to combine the melodies of the classical music he grew up on with the rock music of the 70...

For more than 60 years, the Sunset Marquis has been far more than just a hotel. Hidden behind its unassuming gates just off the Sunset Strip, it became a sanctuary for some of the biggest names in music—a place where artists could escape the spotlight, create, recover, celebrate, and occasionally indulge in a little rock 'n' roll debauchery.

In this episode of My Rock Moment, Amanda sits down with Craig Williams and Tyler Measom, the directors of the new documentary If These Walls Could Rock, opening in theaters and on streaming August 14.

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes John to Set Lusting Bruce for a wide-ranging conversation beyond Springsteen. John, a Miami native, describes discovering music early, teaching himself by ear, forming a high-school a cappella group that pursued recording contracts and moved from Miami to New York and Washington, DC, before he left the group around age 25 due to financial realities and marketing challenges. He discusses choosing bass guitar, being left-handed, and returning to the University of Miami by working there to complete a Classics degree and a master’s. A devoted Firefly fan, John recounts contributing to The Signal and attending Aw...

On the 79th Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom, Zeus & special guest, Brad Rusthoven from the Slamfest Podcast, review the 1988 album "GN'R Lies" by Guns N' Roses.

In the late 1980's Guns N' Roses exploded on the hard rock scene. Their debut album, "Appetite For Destruction" would go on to become the biggest selling debut album of all time.

GNR was led by one of a kind lead singer Axl Rose. Guitarists Slash and Izzy Stradlin formed an incredible dual guitar attack. Duff McKagan on bass and Steven Adler...

We return to the topic of the concept album...with a spin. Some concept albums simply don't work without context. Others function as a cohesive collection of songs, even divorced from a weighty backstory or overarching theme. Those are the records that Brett Vargo discusses with this week's Third Lad, Bill Kopp.

You may remember renowned music scribe Bill Kopp from his O3L appearance a few years back discussing his book on classic San Francisco indie label 415 Records, Disturbing The Peace...

There's nothing better than hearing a new song that kicks ass! They don't promote rock n roll like they used to but when we heard Above The Noise from The Jetsetters - Britt Lightning (Vixen, Rock Band Camp) & Tommy London (SiriusXM) - we were immediately hooked. The track is straight ahead rock with sing-a-long choruses but more simply, it's fun. We're psyched to turn folks onto the track and were happy to speak with Britt & Tommy about Above The Noise and their band.

Britt has visited us before on ⁠First Concert Memories #11 ⁠and you may...

Beyond the music, this episode explores the history of The Temptations duri...

On the 147th Episode of Dorm Damage With Tom & Zeus the guys discuss Hollywood's identity crisis, controversies surrounding films like The Odyssey, Supergirl and more.

So make sure you listen and look for the new trailer for the movie, "Ronald Reagan" starring Emmanuel Lewis!

Alice in Chains is one of the biggest bands from the 90s. But by 1996, they were ghosts. 

Over two and a half years had passed since their last real concert. Layne Staley’s heroin addiction had derailed the band’s touring schedule. Yeah, they dropped their self-titled album in 1996 and it went to number one, but they couldn’t go on the road behind it. 

The band was out of the spotlight and the rumors about Layne’s addiction were deafening. 

MTV had chased them Unplugged for years and, in 1996, the finally said yes. 

To understand the story of Joy Division, and how they became New Order requires some patience, and more. The "why?" in the equation is also discussed, including the lack of support in the area of mental health in that era. The suicide of Ian Curtis might have crashed most bands, but the survivors carried on with a New Order! The impact of both bands carries on today.

The full story unfolds in this episode: joy, pain, recovery, fortitude and incredible music!

John reflects on seeing Springsteen live three times, including a standout 1999 E Street Band show, and strongly s...

Everyone has their own personal favorite.

The one place in town that had all the cool records. The place you didn't know existed until a friend took you there and you discover music beyond the mainstream. The place where you feel in the know ready to explore everything around you.

That place is your local independent record shop. You got your first LP there or you found it in college and go comb the racks every other weekend. Louisville's Ear-X-Tacy was that for residents and passers-through - the place...

ABOUT ADRIAN VANDENBERG:

One of the finest six-stringers on the planet, Adrian Vandenberg is arguably also one of the most underrated. The Dutch rock guitarist, best known for his tenure as one of the guitarists in Whitesnake during their successful late 1980s period and the band Vandenberg which he started in 1981. In 2013, Adrian formed a new band, Vandenberg's MoonKings, and recorded a new studio album which was released in early 2014.

Candid discussions with and about those behind the scenes in the music business including industry veterans representing the segments of: M...

In the early 90s, things were radically changing for music. After a decade where music in the mainstream was often beholden to production excess, gated drums, and where there was ofte more polish on a recording than on a hospital floor, underground bands (for a time) brought things back to basics in the wider arena. Guitar riffs, hooks, and volume became the norm again (for a time). So, how did a film about a group of Dublin youths playing tough 1960s soul – as well as its soundtrack – become one of the biggest phenomenons around in 1991, the same year as Neve...

The Los Angeles Times referred to it as "Country Music's most important West Coast club". Artists from Willie Nelson to Elvis Costello to Linda Ronstadt played there. Happy Hour started at 8 in the morning. And it all happened in the East San Fernando Valley.

The club was called The Palomino, and now we have a film documenting its storied history. Director Adrienne Isom, script writer KP Hawthorn, and country punk legend Rosie Flores join us to reminisce about their own personal stories, as well as those that made this fabled club so special.

In Episode 370 of History in Five Songs with Martin Popoff, Martin examines why so many classic rock and metal bands, from Def Leppard to Rush and Iron Maiden, have debut albums that sold surprisingly poorly compared to their blockbuster follow-ups, despite often being fan favorites and essential parts of their catalogs.
