Rock All Over You Podcast

We are joined by Wyld Ryde bassist Mick Watkins (aka Dick Twatkins) to discuss Mötley Crüe’s 1985 album. We make our obligatory "Vince Neil killed someone" jokes while also answering the big questions: Is Theatre of Pain better than most Crüe albums? Did Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee really write “Home Sweet Home”? Can Nikki really play bass? Is Nikki a racist? Did Vince end Hanoi Rocks or did they ruin their own careers with horrible music? And is Vince the true talent in Crüe? All this and more on this amazing episode…!!!

We’re joined by Joseph Staub to tackle the legendary debut by thrash metal legends Overkill. We also discuss the band’s horror movie and punk rock influence, Rat Skates contributions to the band in the early days and we ponder if Bobby Gustafson is the best thrash guitarist and if Feel the Fire is the best thrash debut. We also talk about Conan the Barbarian and why this album reminds us of that movie. All this and more on a totally thrashtastic episode…!!

Eric & Eddy are back and joined by one half of the podcast kings Dr. Fukk Ralph Viera to discuss Scorpions 1980 release Animal Magnetism. Was this album great or too much of a clone of Lovedrive? How much of an impact did Matthias Jabs have on the Scorpions? Was this Klaus Meine’s peak vocal performance? We answer those questions along with discussing the bizarre album artwork, heavy metal in 1980, talk boxes, and Eric’s hatred of New York and New York Pizza.

On a special Mother’s Day episode, Gabrielle Traynor joins us for an in depth review of Steve Nicks’ debut solo album: Bella Donna. In addition to a track-by-track breakdown, we discuss Stevie being bigger than Fleetwood Mac, why she’s an important artist to women, how she represents a strong femininity in both her work and white witch persona, “Edge of Seventeen” vs “Eye of the Tiger”, School of Rock, Stevie making ex boyfriends play guitar on her songs and why we love the early 1980s…!!

Part Two of our Van Halen Women and Children First review. Johnny might’ve abandoned us to get laid but Ryan T Russell is still hanging at the party as we dive even deeper into this classic 1980 album…!!!!
