Bobby Steele of The Undead and ex Misfits calls in to talk about everything from the Misfits to The Undead current and upcoming releases, lawsuits, John Lennon, Max’s Kansas City, security guards and moshing in the early eighties, and a whole bunch of stuff I can’t remember off the top of my head. All Music in this episode by The Undead, except for Misfits – Violent World from 12 Hits From Hell and the acoustic tracks are from Bobby Steele’s acoustic solo album “Bobby”. The songs Sometimes You Gotta Laugh At Yourself and I Made A Monster are from the I Made A Monster 7″
Gemini Five, who I mistake for The New Race, begin this week’s proceedings. Then it’s fellow Swedes Casablanca with their debut single. Spoof Metal band of the week comes courtesy of Rock Sugar. NWOBHM throwbacks Bullet have a couple of tracks played off their last CD and the whole show is rounded off by some live Hardcore Superstar from their recent London Garage gig.
There were a lot of folks that were very passionate about letting their views be seen and heard when President Obama’s motorcade came in too Tampa. This is what it was like to be on the outside of things.
Michael Monroe’s LA Press Conference starts this week’s show off, but the first track features Michael’s new guitar player in his Sonic Graffiti guise. Two Black Sabbath tracks are up next both demo’s the first being their most famous track with Ozzy’s original lyrics. The second is their first ever venture into the studio to record a Norman Haines track. The Rolling Stones, The Lime Spiders and The Damned are all in the interconnectedness section. The Goo Goo Dolls *spits* have a new single out which I play. As promised, on last week’s show, I play some Adam West. Hot of the press is a new Semi-Precious Weapons’ song but finishing off the whole shebang is a Beatles cover done by the Beastie Boys which was left off the ‘Licensed to Ill’ album but not my promo tape.
