In this episode of the Rock and Roll Geek Show, Michael Butler reacts to the news that legendary Manowar guitarist Ross The Boss has been diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. He talks about Ross’s impact on classic heavy metal, his guitar work with Manowar and beyond, and what this diagnosis means for the metal community.[podcastaddict]
Butler shares personal reflections on Ross The Boss, plays key tracks that defined his career, and invites fellow rock and roll geeks to send in their stories, memories, and well wishes. If you love old-school heavy metal, epic riffs, and deep-cut rock talk, this is a must-hear episode.

On this episode I talk about Ross The Boss from the Dictators and Manowar (among others) being diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Also on the show, emails about some new music and Alice Cooper. We do a Listening With Butler on the new Roger Taylor song.

Music by:
The Dictators
Manowar
Alice Cooper
