Welcome to the Show
Welcome to the wild world of the Free Form Rock Podcast, where we embrace every riff, solo, and scandalous hairdo from the glorious era of rock! If you’re a purist, a metal elitist who believes that any sound that isn’t an 8-minute guitar solo is akin to sacrilege, then this is your warning: you might want to turn down the volume and stick to your ‘perfect’ playlist filled with only the heaviest and most obscure bands that your no-caffeine diet can handle.
Here, we celebrate everything from shaking your head to classic rock anthems to moshing like a maniac at a metal concert! We love all the forms of rock—classic, metal, and everything in between. So, if your idea of a good time is debating over which band had the best leather pants, you’re in for quite the ride!
Sit back, relax, and remember: we don’t take ourselves too seriously—because if we did, we’d be stuck in the ‘70s, arguing over whether Led Zeppelin was better than Black Sabbath while wearing questionable platform shoes. Join us as we rock out the way rock was meant to be—loud, unapologetic, and just a little ridiculous! Tune in, turn it up, and let’s jam through the delightful chaos of our favorite tunes together!

This Week on America’s Podcast… we Cover My Six 🤘😬
We dive headfirst into the wild (and sometimes painful) world of dreadfully bad cover songs. Each of us picked six covers that should’ve stayed in the rehearsal room, and no — it’s not just a full episode of Mötley Crüe cover covers… although we thought about it 😂
Family member Favio Vegas joins the chaos, bringing opinions, laughs, and at least one cover that makes you question humanity. Expect hot takes, friendly arguments, and plenty of “why would they do that?!” moments.
Tracks of the Week:🎸 Marc – “On the Hunt” – Corrosion of Conformity🥖 Jerry – “Breadfan” – Florence Black🌊 Favio – “Summer Breeze” – Type O Negative🔥 Mooger – “The Real Me” – W.A.S.P.
Until next week… there’s no time to listen to bad cover songs.Choose wisely. Take care of each other. And maybe… don’t cover that song. 😆

This week on America’s Podcast, we dive into a lost classic from the Black Sabbath catalog — Dehumanizer. Joining us are family members Travis Perrotta and Tim Wirasnik as we crank up the Dio-era heaviness and ask the big questions:
How does this album sound to our ears?Is this a top-tier Dio-fronted Sabbath record… or does it fall flat on its demonic face?
No spoilers — you’ve gotta listen to hear whether we bow to the riffs or banish them back to the underworld.
Tracks of the Week:
• Travis: Type O Negative – Black No. 1 (and if the song gets too long for you… you officially have our permission to fast-forward, Pete Steele will understand)• Mooger: Wolfmother – Dimension• Jerry: Florence Black – Colored In• Tim: AC/DC – What’s Next to the Moon• Marc: The Bangles – Hazy Shade of Winter
Until next week, remember: You are Legion, we rock, and we miss Ronnie James Dio every single day.
