Hey folks, welcome to episode number 82 of Foxx on the Wire with our special guess Vanessa Valentine! 

Now THIS is an episode I've been looking forward to for a while. I've been aiming to try and get Vanessa on the podcast for a while and I finally got up the courage to ask. What's that saying, you won't know until you ask, right?

In her own words Vanessa is an independent musician, ex heroin addict/thug, an adult human female, animal and women's right campaigner. And if I could add to that, she was front-woman of one of my favorite bands a decade ago called 'Valentiine'. 

We always aim to have honest conversations on this podcast, and that's exactly what this episode is.  Check out Vanessa's music over at her Bandamp if you haven't heard her tunes you're gonna love them.

Don't forget to follow and subscribe to Foxx on the Wire on all the platforms so you don't miss any new episodes. Thank you to Vanessa for coming on the podcast, I look forward to having her on again in the future.

Welcome to the Jungle!!!

A very special episode coming at you today where we relive the infamous 1993 Guns N' Roses Melbourne Calder Park Raceway show that has gone down in history for many reasons!  On this episode I am joined by singer/songwriter Brett Franke and Engineer/Producer Owner of Incubator Studios Adrian Akkerman who were both at this show 30 years ago and are here to give us their boots on the ground report and tell us about their experience! It’s been 30 years since the 1st of February 1993 when 75,000 rock fans to the trek to Calder Park in the blistering heat to see the biggest rock’n’roll band in the world, Guns N’ Roses who were finally playing Australia once again. Joined by Pearls and Swine, Rose Tattoo and Skid Row support acts. This show was part of the Gigantic Use Your Illusion world tour which ran from Jan 20 1991 to July 17 1993. A total of 194 shows. For those of you tuning into the podcast from overseas Calder Park Raceway is a motor racing circuit in Melbourne holding raceway events, thunderdome and Drag Racing. Located at Keilor, in the north east suburbs of Melbourne, the track began in the 1950s with a pair of motoring enthusiasts who wanted somewhere to race their FJ Holdens, Pat Hawthorn and Jim Houlahan. 

"The area later became a saturated and smelling swamp due to the heavy rains and the urine." Disturbing stuff. It could easily be a line lifted from a TV news report covering a natural disaster in some far flung part of the world. The damning assessment was part of a 100-page finding from the Victorian Ombudsman into what is arguably the worst concert ever staged in Australia. It wasn't what happened on stage at Melbourne's Calder Park that had authorities up in arms, but what happened off it.   Check out the Video version of this Podcast over at Foxx on the Wire YouTube! Check out this entertaining 30 year old news report from the show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9AhqVshmDg&t=212s Check out the killer GN'R setlist for this show. Some of you may find this Slash & Duff interview with one of Australia's finest journalists VERY entertaining!!! Thanks for tuning into the podcast folks I really hope you enjoyed this episode.

Hello my friends, coming to you today with a very special episode. I was lucky enough to catch up briefly with one of our favorites on this show, Ashley Naylor while he is out on tour with Australian legendary singer-songwriter Paul Kelly. Hearing about the sad passing of Jeff Beck back on January 10th I knew straight away that I wanted to pay tribute to him on this podcast. I thought who better to help me do this than Ashley Naylor who is one of Australia's most accomplished guitarist, vocalist and songwriter. Whether you know him from Melbourne Rock trio EVEN, Marshmellow Overcoat, or maybe you have seen him play guitar with Paul Kelly, Bob Evans, The Church, or in the Rockwiz house band, The Ronson Hangup and many more. 

No doubt Jeff Beck is one of the electric guitar's most prolific innovators, and with a career as sprawling as his we could have easily recorded a massive episode.

I want to thank Ashley for his time and insight on this episode. It's always a pleasure having him on Foxx on the Wire. And, thank you Jeff Beck for an amazing career and always pushing the limits on the guitar and being such an innovator - RIP.

I hope you all enjoyed this episode check out the video version here at Foxx on the Wire YouTube Channel. See you again soon.

Welcome to 2023 my friends I'm starting the year off with a BANG! The first episode of the Podcast for 2023 we ZOOM across the oceans and battle the time-zones to speak with Hungarian Guitarist Attila Voros! Over the years he's toured with NEVERMORE (US), SATYRICON (NO), SANCTUARY (US), TYR (FAO) Currently playing w/: Vulgar Display Of Cover PANTERA TRIBUTE / Strength Of Will (passive).

I describe in this episode how I first came across Attila and his awesome YouTube Channel Attila Voros Official.

If you're a Pantera fan, a heavy metal fan or if your a guitarist yourself or just love to watch a great guitarist in action, I highly recommend checking out his YouTube Channel. It's awesome.

Check out the video version of this episode at Foxx on the Wire YouTube.

I was so excited about this episode and having the opportunity to chat with Attila about Dimebag Darrell and Pantera, and the recent reunion/tribute/re-emergence of Pantera to the stage after 20 years. 

I hope you enjoy this episode, and I want to thank Attila for being so generous with his time and knowledge - it was an absolute pleasure!
