Metal Mayhem ROC: Your go to source for everything metal‪.‬ Vernomatic Productions

MMROC Co-Hosts Jon Verno & Metal Walt share their personal experiences & stories from recent Armored Saint & Saxon concerts in upstate NY & northern NJ. Both events occurred in different cities over a 24-hour period, & each show included informal meet ups with the Band members, both before & after the gig itself. This special episode is an inside look at the hard work that it takes to build rapport with the PR & Press Reps., & the Band members & crew themselves, & just how these face-to-face experiences go down! This is not a concert review episode, but first-hand stories told from our Hosts on the conversations held in the venues, dressing room, & tour bus with these legendary Metal Bands (Top in class Musicians who are classy, funny as hell & MMROC fit right in for the shenanigans). Two amazing experiences, non-stop Heavy Metal talk, drinking, ball-busting, & our course plenty of American & British humor. The inside scoop is all here!

We’re joined by Canadian experts Martin Popoff (Rush books Author) & Perrin Wolfson (Rock & Metal Journalist) for a Rock & Roll Detention episode to reveal a Top 20 Rush “Deep Cuts” list. We discuss the challenges of narrowing down the selections to a reasonable number, define “what” constitutes a “Deep Cut”, & what kind of Tracks are “off limits”. Also, we share the amazing stories on our personal experiences listening to the music, the road trips to see Rush in concert all over Canada & the US, & the emotional reaction that certain songs trigger, much of which ties back to our age at the time & where we were all at in life. 50 years of Rush music & hundreds of Songs to select from, but only 20 make our “Setlist”!
