You may well have internet radio fatigue, God knows there are thousands of sites trying to get your attention. The Story of Rock and Roll Radio Show is different. It goes out live weekly on Rebel Rock Radio and Bulldogs radio but also as a Podcast so you can choose when you want to hear it. TSORR is not background music, it is a relationship. The show exists to introduce you to music you will like, play the music you want to hear, and give you some insight into the bands and the music. So, if Rock & Metal are part of your life, give The Story of Rock and Roll a listen. The Story of Rock and Roll Radio Show or TSORR covers a vast range of Rock, Metal, Punk & Blues. It showcases guitar based-music from around the world. You will get music from the mid 60's all the way through to albums released this week. With TSORR it is all about the music. If you love guitars and loud rock and roll this is the show for you. Each week it features many of the top rock and metal bands in the world. There is always a healthy selection of ACDC, Priest, Maiden, Metallica, Rush, Kiss, Queen, ZZ Top, Rammstein, Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Rainbow, Dio, and all the bands that made Rock Music what it is today. The show also introduces you to many great bands that you may or may not have heard of. TSORR tends not to focus on the greatest rock hits of all time, it goes deeper and features tracks off classic albums that you won't hear elsewhere. TSORR is the place to pick up on something you like and then follow up and delve deeper into a band or song that struck a sweet chord with you. The show is always trying to bring you, in Bowie's words, that "One damn song that can make me break down and cry". You get the facts and the stories as well as some irreverent opinions and you can always contact TSORR for more info about something you heard. Give it a try, TSORR; it's all about the music \m/

The Story of Rock and Roll: S7E15
S7E15 went out live on Rebel Rock Radio at 19h00 on 11 April 2024. TSORR was on Myoli Beach in Sedgefield for this episode so the view was great.
This week's Twisted Twins featured tracks called ‘Winter’. We looked to a local band called Crash Car Burn for the first track and then went back to the amazing Goats Head Soup album for a Rolling Stones song called Winter. It’s interesting to note that this is one of the few Rolling Stones that Keith Richard did not play on. The song was written and recorded by the two Mick’s – Jagger and Taylor.
Immortals was courtesy of Avenged Sevenfold, the title track off The Stage, the last good album they made before they went mental and served up the biggest turd in the history of metal. off the Born to Run album, we took a listen to ‘Jungleland’. Springsteen is at his finest on this groundbreaking album but it’s Clarens Clemons’ sax solo that really makes it Immortal.

Immortals, a track over 7 minutes showcasing an artist's brilliance, came off the Born to Run album. It is a track called ‘Jungleland’.

This week's Twisted Twins featured Godsmack, Buckcherry, and Skid Row.

The Story of Rock and Roll: S7E12
S7E12 went out live on Rebel Rock Radio at 19h00 on 21 March 2024. It was full throttle out of the gate with Dio and ‘Evil Eyes’. We had some new music from Dan Patlansky, Judas Priest and Bruce Dickenson. Most interesting is a new single from Vended. I am really digging Vended a lot, sons of Slipknot, literally, Griffin Tayor and Simon Crahan doing their parents proud.
To remind you to get tickets for next year's Green Day, The Offspring, and Fokofpolisikar concert in Cape Town and JHB we again took a quick track from each of them. This weeks Twisted Twins featured a song called 'Lost in Hollywood'. The new Judas Priest is out so obviously we continued to rave about that.
This week’s Immortals feature was incredible. Mark Knopfler has assembled 60 musicians, mostly guitarists (he’s got Ringo and his son Zak on drums and Sting on Bass), and it is a veritable who’s who of guitar. The track has been recorded by Mark Knopfler and Friends to raise funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust. It’s a new version of 'Going Home' (Theme from Local Hero) and, it includes contributions from among others Joe Bonamassa, Slash, Springsteen, Joe Satriani, Steve Lukather, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, John Mc Laughlin, Brian May, the list goes. Incredible.
