    When bands destroy legacy | Return of Quiz Eye Pedal Trivia!

    This week, we are once again joined by Alex Guaraldi of Coppersound Pedals and that means the return of Quiz Eye for the Pedal Guy! Can Matt and Dave name the controls of iconic pedals or are they just going to fall flat?  Also, Guns N' Roses drops two new tracks, and we're asking the tough question: when does "music taste is subjective" stop being a valid defense? We break down why these might cross the line from mediocre to objectively questionable. Plus, fresh interview with Joe Perry reveals Aerosmith isn't quite done yet, but do we REALLY care at this point?  Please support our sponsor, Coppersound Pedals www.coppersoundpedals.com and use code DADS10 to 10% off your order, INCLUDING the new Foxcatcher V2 which is available NOW!

    Jack White Proves EVERYONE Wrong | Helix: The Stadium Tour

    This week, the Dads are BACK and we cover Creed's return to writing new music, David Coverdale's official retirement announcement, and the electric Jack White/Eminem halftime performance at the Lions-Packers game.  We break down Phil Collen's legendary Hysteria-era rig featuring his modded '78 Strat "Felix," Rockman amps, and that direct-to-board magic. In gear: We sample an amazing new pedal from Greer Amps, and the Line 6 Helix Stadium units are shipping with rave reviews—and some cool new features. But are we hitting diminishing returns with amp modelers?  Please support our sponsor, Coppersound Pedals www.coppersoundpedals.com and use code DADS10 to 10% off your order, INCLUDING the new Foxcatcher V2 which is available NOW!

    Epiphone makes a Bonehead move | Gear to get or forget?

    This week, we're covering Megadeth's announcement that their next album will be their last, Bon Jovi's 2026 comeback tour (but will they still have it?), and the vintage guitar phone cases that are lighting up the guitar internet. We'll also dive into Gibson's new $2,999 Noel Gallagher Standard and the full Oasis signature line from Gibson and Epiphone. Plus, we're spotlighting blues guitarist Davy Knowles and a killer new record of originals that's pure blues rock gold.

    Brown-Panel Amps, A $2.7M Guitar, and the Battle for Rock's Soul

    This week we're Dadding out over Orange's new King Comp compressor, celebrating the long-awaited Line 6 Stadium pre-orders, and diving into Fender's brown panel '62 Super reissue. In the news: Eddie Van Halen's Kramer ad guitar just sold for $2.7 million at auction, and Slash says the Sphere isn't right for Guns N' Roses – calling it more spectacle than rock and roll venue. That sparks our question: are legacy rock acts being stubborn about technology, or is there real value in keeping live shows raw and authentic? We've got strong opinions, and we want to hear yours.  Please support our sponsor, Coppersound Pedals www.coppersoundpedals.com and use code DADS10 to 10% off your order, INCLUDING the new Foxcatcher V2 which is available NOW for pre-order.
