    RUSH:Top 20 “Deep Cuts” list with Rock Author Martin Popoff

    RUSH:Top 20 “Deep Cuts” list with Rock Author Martin Popoff

    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”!

    James Durbin: Singing with Judas Priest on American Idol

    In this episode, we’re exploring the new James Durbin CD “Screaming Steel”. Durbin is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist from Santa Cruz, California. Metal heads associate his name with his appearance on Season 10 of American Idol (2011), where appeared with Judas Priest for rousing renditions of "Livin' After Midnight" and "Breaking the Law" and also appeared with legendary guitarist Zakk Wylde. This was followed by Durbin’s debut album, 2011’s “Memories Of A Beautiful Disaster” that blended a mix of hard hitting riffs, vulnerable lyrics, and Durbin’s signature screams.
    In this interview, James relives his experience sharing the stage with Judas Priest, then takes us on his musical journey post American Idol, leading up to him joining Quiet Riot, then FINALLY releasing his first true heavy metal album “The Beast Awakens” in 2021, 10 years after American Idol. They also discuss James second heavy metal release, the new “Screaming Steel”, just released in 2024. James’s share’s his metal influences are deep in classic heavy metal with the likes of Dio, Sabbath and Iron Maiden.

Glitch in the Episode

Great episode!!! But am I missing a segment? Because the episode go from introduction of the guys in the conversation to the main decision.

Danny Ukes ,

The best in the business

Jon “The Vernomatic” Verno is quickly becoming my go to source for all the latest heavy metal news. Every week the show takes us on a journey through metal history up to and including todays most relevant information about our favorite bands and artists.

Where other podcasts lack, Metal Mayhem hits the nail on the head with insightful interviews, entertaining content blocks, and most importantly, charisma and excitement. Truly one of the best productions in the metal podcast world, can’t stop recommending it. Keep it Heavy!

Suzy Hammer ,

Wowza!
