Earth Quake
We review an album that is unfortunately obscure even though it should be more well-known. A lot of this music goes unnoticed because it doesn't get re-released. Well, we do our part to resuscitate it if we can do so. Our tracks of the week are Todd La Torre's "Hellbound And Down" and Budgie's "Breadfan." We close with Lee's song "Dress Up." Cheers, everybody!

Go to your used record stores, find something you never heard before, buy it and enjoy! Cheers, everyone.

Our tracks of the week are Audioslave's "Your Time Will Come", Uriah Heep's "Traveller In Time" and we finish the show with Lee's song "Mumbles." Try some Italian food for a change.

Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
In this episode, we review Seventh Whatever Of A Seventh Whatever (that's a joke). We have different opinions all over the place. Who are we? We are the main hosts, Marc Alden Taylor and Lee Gerstmann but we are joined by Jerry Supe and Eric RMCP Jordon for this episode. It was entertaining to do and we hope you are entertained by listening to it. Our tracks of the week are Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Tuesday's Gone", John Ussery's "Blue Suede Shoes", Whitesnake's "Medicine Man" and Alter Bridge's "Show Me A Leader." It's a great episode and I hope you have fun listening to it.
