Episode 531- Static-X Wisconsin Death Trip VS Slipknot (Self Titled)

🎙️ This week on America’s Podcast, we go way out of bounds with a Nu Metal Album Battle Royale! 🤘🔥 Both contenders dropped in 1999:⚔️ Static-X – Wisconsin Death Trip vs. Slipknot – Self-Titled.
We’ve got longtime partner-in-chaos Joseph Staub back in the mix, and we’re bringing in new blood 💉 with Mike Fowler to keep things wild. As usual, one cohost is not a Nu Metal fan (🙄 yeah, we all know who), and Jerry straight-up ditched his brother for some “assignment.” Loyalty? Zero. Entertainment? Maximum. 😂
💥 Tracks of the Week:
Marc – Somewhere I Belong (Linkin Park)
Joseph – Cold (Static-X)
Mike – In the Eye of the Storm (Arch Enemy)
Mooger – Watching You (KISS)
By the end, one cohost swears you’ll need an Excedrin—and honestly, he’s probably right. 💊 No spoilers… just crank it up and survive the madness!
👉 Hit play, embrace the chaos, and find out who walks away from this Nu Metal showdown!

Episode 526-Lonnie Mack-Strike Like Lightning

🎙️ This Week on America’s Podcast – The Free Form Rock Podcast! 🇺🇸🎸
We’re crankin’ up the amps and diggin’ deep into the blues as we welcome our good friend Brian Davis from the Damn Good Movie Memories podcast! Not only does Brian know his way around a killer flick, but he’s also a certified blues connoisseur—so we figured, who better to help us review an album by the one and only Lonnie Mack?
⚡ Will this album strike like lightning in a bottle or fizzle out like burnt bacon at a truck stop diner? No spoilers—but let’s just say things get tasty...
🎵 Tracks of the Week:
Jerry: “Thank You” – Led Zeppelin (He’s still trying to get Plant to return his calls)
Mooger: “Pride and Joy” – Stevie Ray Vaughan (He plays this every time he changes a tire)
Marc: “Still Got the Blues” – Gary Moore (Yes, Marc still has them… and a vinyl copy too)
Brian Davis: “Rude Mood” – Stevie Ray Vaughan (Because being polite is overrated)
So grab some whiskey, drop that needle, and kick back with your favorite degenerate music nerds. We’ll see ya next week on the Free Form Rock Podcast—where the music’s loud, the opinions louder, and the bacon always a little overdone. 🥓🎶
