Explore every episode of the podcast METAL PODCAST -- Middle-Aged Metal-Heads

This is the ride you didn' know you needed. And didn't know you wanted. And, for some of us, didn't know existed.

I laughed I cried.

it was much better than CATS I'm going to see it again and again.

It took us a while but it's here. Our first Fantasy Auction. Get the kit at your local Jamesway or Eckerd Drug so you can play along at home! Collect them all!

It's like the Rosetta Stone of music videos. Much easier to figure out who he hasn't worked with or what he hasn't done. Your 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon just got an impossible upgrade.

Meet the man who put visual images to some of your favorite and most memorable tunes, Nigel Dick.

It's been a while since we've talked SCORPIONS so here we are.

Some real gems in there!

Here's a link to the Alex Lifeson golf recap

We've got another video episode you get your cathode ray tubes warmed up and click this link to watch while you listen!

YOUTUBE PLAYLIST

Our special guest FLEX joins us to talk MTV Rewind which hosts the greatest video viewing experience you've had since you were 15 pausing Fast Times while your parents slept.

The snake eats itself. Not just that dude with the chainwallet on his nose. Metal bands playing songs by other metal bands. I mean it could be a whole series of its own, RIGHT?!?!?!?!

who knew?

In honor of every bum kid we knew in high school, we're jumping on the bandwagon. World Cup of Metal, HERE WE COME!

Middle-Aged Metal-Heads NOW with 100% more STYMIE!

For some this is a classic record that is still in heavy rotation. For others, they never knew this record existed. Which are YOU?

If you really want to get to know a band, invite one of them to a session and ask em some questions. Next thing you know, you have an internationally listened-to #metalpodcast. Get on that.

Meet DAVE RUDE of TESLA! he's super cool and, if you can't get enough, he has solo albums too!

I don't know what the RUSH is about RUSHing into a discussion about RUSH. But if you RUSH to your fave podcast provider you can hear us RUSH to talk about RUSH and DT will RUSH to judgment about RUSH. RUSHRUSHRUSH.

What is the worst party format you can imagine? You might think a costume party. A key party. A gender reveal? NOPE.

The White Elephant. Hands down. Everyone brings a gift. Nobody leaves happy. Even the food isnt very good.

If you really wanna party with me Put all your hands where my eyes can see. Let's get some straight buck whilin' and spin some new tunes.

It's been a while.

Since I could. . . nah screw that guy.

IT's been a while since we talked 1986 so we're doing it superdraft style. WHo has the best 'team?'

It's me, by the way. I have the best team.

Sure. Everyone knows the best songs. But which are the WORST songs? the total trainwrecks. The nothings. Filler. Garbage.

How often do we give Anthrax their propers? Not enough, that's for sure. A band that gets respect but not enough air time.

Let's go.

He's off the reservation. Calling all metalheads! We gotta bring him in before he kills someone!

I mean. . . Ultimate? Like frisbee? C'mon now. What is the ultimate sin? Maybe it's listening to this record. Maybe something much worse. We shall see.

Twice a year, we go off-format. No riffs, no blast beats, no blast beats debates. This time, Hardin and Timony are transmitting from somewhere the FCC never sanctioned — a frequency so confrontational, so deliberately overwhelming, that it didn't just change music, it indicted a culture. This is the record that proved a wall of sound could be a weapon, that information overload was the point, and that the most dangerous thing you could put on wax was the truth turned up to eleven.

Fight the power. We already did.

HEEEEEERE IT COMES!

FOOTBALL. i mean. METALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

What happens when a great band sends a great member and you feel like old friends right away? You hang out and talk KISS and some other things too. If you're sleeping on Castle Rat, slumber no more

I don't know why we do it. Mike and Colin clearly cannot be trusted. Yet here we are. You guys wanna see a dead body? Wanna bring it back to life? We tried. John tried. I tried.

Come beat this dead horse with us. Or beat whatever you can get your hands on. No, not like that.

The last year is stabbed and bleeding and in an alley. Time to move on. But first, let’s take a look back and piss and moan about it.

If you can believe it, just day before his 80th birthday, the Catman has released a new record. We’re gonna critique and discuss this new release and pray he takes this puppy on tour.

Colin is missing. Holiday Dan rears his head. The rest of us are equally confused. We take a short dip into the mire of tunes that could be GENIUS or could be GARBAGE. Whatchathink?

who knows. it's chilly.

Get out your UNO cards and play along just don't get SLAPPED.

Pick one band from each year 80 - 84 and add one complete CLUNKER for discussion and hilarity.

Did we pick yours? Did you pick ours? WAZZZZAAAAAUUUPPP

We lost a legend. But he's been lost before. We'll find him again. Memories, music, experiences, and camaraderie as always.

RIP to the Spaceman.

What could be better than THE WEEK IN METAL?

THE EPISODE IN METAL.

One of my favorite traditions is the visit from Joey to host his Q&A rock block and bring us a surprise listening party. Now it's a gift to you. Happy September

We rarely discuss records almost as old as we are.

BUT, ALIVE 1 turns 50 this year. Let's dive in and tear this mutha apart

This is how it works: You ask, we talk about what we want based on the topic of your question. Maybe. If you're reading this, I'm not sure if you're okay.

Some of you may have NEVER HEARD of this band. Believe it or not. 25% of Middle-Aged Metal-Heads hosts had never heard this album. I think that is overrepresented. But hey, it's apparently a classic and we think everyone deserves to suffer or rejoice just a little. Hit it, CC.

Still reeling from the OZZY farewell and then his sudden passing, we consider who would be next to have a farewell concert. We figured Aerosmith would be a good contender. YOU?

we all saw it. we experienced it. Now, we talk about it.

40 Years. WTAF. 40 years. FORTY. 4 - 0

How is it that Theater of Pain is 40 years old. I'm honestly surprised it didn't die in its 30s.

Listen with us, we're better than this record.

The Struts! all killer no filler.

we had the pleasure of sitting with front man Luke Spiller to tall about the band, the road, the process, and his new solo record.

You should know by now there are a lot of records that some of us love that some (one) of us have never heard. These are their stories. Join us for Queens of the Stone Age antiquated throwback.

This week we met with prolific author, Martin Popoff, to discuss his latest tome "Hallowed By Their Name -- The Unofficial IRON MAIDEN Bible" and it is awesome. Come get some

it was 1982 and Mettalllliccccca was making that early break. Along with some bands you may have never even heard of.

Wacky.

Any band with enough records has a few juicy morsels if you can just get them out. . .

Those songs you love all in one place. K-Tel's Hard and Not Heavy. The greatest hits of Metalheads everywhere to listen in their basements when nobody else is around. Sshhhhhhh!

Your secret is safe with us. Middle Aged Metal Heads

You remember 1995? Neither do we.

I want to play a game. You are surrounded by music from the mid to late 80s. Choose your weapon. The clock is ticking

Oh NO! Tears are falling! really.

It was 40 years ago and where were you, young man?

Bottle that sound. Bring it back. But make it better.

DONE. DONE. DONE.

TRIGGER WARNING!

heyo folks the world has become super political but we're old enough to remember when metalheads didn't support politicians or authority figures. We're going back and pushing forward. Let's get back to being the real deal.

Hotter than H. E. Double Hockey-sticks?! That's pretty hot. I mean HAWTTTT and what's possibly hotter than that? DUnno.

Special Week in Metal to appease the masses. We poured our hearts, soul, blood, and sermon into this one. Dig in.

When you think of candy, ghouls, and goblins. . . I'm sure the first thing that springs to mind is FASTWAY featuring Fast Eddie Clarke and somehow Pete Way. Right? Maybe not. Ozzy? Gene? Skippy? There we go. Skippy.

Well, skip on over and give us a listen. Hail Satan.

We managed to convince Courtney Cox, guitarist for Burning Witches, to visit the pod and talk a bit about the new record and tour as well as some other experiences. Super cool!

Like a warm bowl of soup on a Sunday morning.

A hot coffee in the afternoon.

A kitten cuddled on your lap.

Joey telling his tales of yore.

Comfort, people. We need comfort.

Is that so shocking?
