Focus on Metal Dario, Scott, Julien, Richie

This week we are joined by author and frequent FoM collaborator Brian J Heaton to discuss his upcoming book “Roads To Madness” The Touring History of Queensryche 1981-1997.
If you may remember Brian was the coauthor of “Building An Empire: The Story of Queensryche”. This new book follows on in further fleshing out the story of the band by detailing their live shows during the classic era of the band.

I was going to title this one March Metal Madness, for some reason Invincible March just resonated more with me.
Anyway, this week we discuss some current metal topics.
Obviously the latest metal masterpiece from Priest for one along with some Bruce Dickinson, Slayer, Skid Row, “The Other Voice of Ratt” and a potential shakeup at Frontiers.

Jeff Pilson makes his fourth appearance on Focus on Metal this week.
This time he came by to discuss the new Revolution Saints release “Against The Wind” but as per usual Richie
took the opportunity to discuss a ton of other musical endeavors that Jeff is currently juggling.
So if you want to know at least seventy percent of what Jeff is currently doing have a listen to this weeks show.

Metal Mike host of the 80’s Glam Metalcast joins us this week to discuss, of all things, 90’s hair metal.
Yep, you read that right. Mike recently published “A Hair Metal Journey” which takes you through hair metal from 86 to 91.
The book is both Mike's journey and the story of the artists.
So based on that Richie decided to press further into the 90’s with Mike. Cuz why not.

Few things stir up more of a crap show online than when someone attempts to discuss their favorite albums (or anything) of the year on social media.
You aren’t declaring the best album it’s your favorite. It’s a choice that’s as unique to your personal taste as your favorite ice cream.
This week we talk about some of our “gasp” favorites from last year and also a bit about this whole opinion culture on social media.
