Customer Reviews
Great Show!
Great show that allows me to relive my hair metal fan days of my youth. Really enjoy every episode and discovering albums i haven’t heard of. If you like hair metal this is a great podcast.
Great show
These 2 fellas are a couple of the best 80s rockers out there.
Really good.
I was an 80s kid and this show takes me back. I still love the old music and it’s fun listening to these guys talk about it. (Even though they don’t love Warrant, I can forgive them.) Extreme III is one of my favorite albums of all time so it was really fun listening to an entire episode devoted to it. Keep up the great work!
