    Label Wars (1980-1984)

    Label Wars (1980-1984)

    This week we look back to a time when the music industry was, mostly, run through a handful of record labels. With big money to be made, record companies such as Capitol, Epic, Columbia, and Atlantic wielded a lot of power. Buyouts were happening such as in the case of Polygram acquiring Casablanca Records which would result in a very in-flux KISS winding up on Mercury Records. Smaller labels, while limited financially, were successful at times due to scouting new talent and breaking it. This circumstance would lead labels such as Elektra, Metal Blade, and Megaforce to be on the ground floor of some legendary careers and genres.
    In this discussion, we discuss all of these record labels, many of the notable artists that inhabited their rosters, how they stacked up in the rock world, and much more. The era we're focusing on this time is 1980-1984. 
    Was the rule and oversight of the early 80's music industry a good thing? Is today's wide open musical climate a better thing for artists? Let us know what YOU think in the comments!
    We hope you enjoy Label Wars (1980-1984) and SHARE with a friend.

    The End of KISS(?)

    The End of KISS(?)

    With this week marking the end of KISS as a touring entity, we thought we'd serve up a Torpedo Dudes 4 All! This is Decibel Geek's KISS-exclusive podcast and there's plenty to discuss!
     
    KISS recently had to cancel shows in Ottawa, Toronto, and Knoxville due to Paul Stanley contracting the flu. The band got back on track for Indianapolis and is moving forward with the final dates. Between the Ottawa and Toronto cancellations a tragic car accident/explosion made news as a possible terror attack. How does this (potentially) relate to KISS? Listen to find out.
     
    As the band prepares for this weekend's final shows at Madison Square Garden, we discuss our thoughts on the current lineup, how we got to our opinions, and the multiple KISS-themed doings in NYC this week. Activities discussed include the NYC KISS takeover and, of course, the shows themselves.
     
    It was confirmed recently that no ex-members, including Bruce Kulick, will be guesting at the shows. Will there be any surprises or shakeups for these landmark shows? We give our predictions.
    Speaking of ex-members, Ace Frehley released the title track to his upcoming album '10,000 Volts' which is due next February. We give our reactions to the new single, our hopes for the album, and more.
     
    We hope you enjoy Torpedo Dudes 4 All and consider joining us on Patreon as a DBG VIP!

    Shootin' the Breeze with Dawn of the Rising

    This week Aaron hangs out with Ray and Iggy from Dawn of the Rising during their recent trip to Nashville. The guys were in town to attend the Josie Awards at The Grand Ole Opry where they were nominated for Rock Group of the Year.

    Additionally, you'll get a special round of Beat the Geek for good measure!
    We'll return soon with a brand new Geekwire but, in the meantime, hope you enjoy this fun chat. Enjoy!

Geeks of the year!

This podcast is great, it’s like driving a Camaro around cranking tunes and having fun with your friends. I really enjoy the show and the hosts. It’s fun to hear Aaron’s genuine surprise when he hears the some of
latest metal gossip that he missed out on during the week.

Lives up to the Hype!

I heard about this podcast for years but never checked it out until recently. It definitely lives up to the hype. I have been selecting the KISS episodes. Not only are these guys knowledgeable, but they are creative and entertaining also! Thanks.
