Rock Under Fire


Aug 10, 2017

Episode 29 brings more insanity as Mike, Pat, and Stick are joined by two more childhood friends (Eric and Jim) to recount growing up in a world where every kid listened to rock music, played an electric guitar, and started a band. The subjects of conversation are many, including Van Halen, Steve Vai, Led Zeppelin, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, Kiss, Sammy Hagar, 5150, Eat em and Smile, Talas, Yngwie Malmsteen, Jeff Scott Soto, Winery Dogs, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Tom Morello, Defiant Ones, Tom Petty, The Gunslinger, Batman, comic books, Dr. Dre, Bruno Mars, Culture Club, and a whole bunch of true stories from the suburban 1970s. We thank all of you who continue to support Rock Under Fire, and we welcome any new listeners to the show. As a rock and roll podcast, we make it a point not to focus on any one particular artist, band, or genre of music, but with that comes the reality that our show may not always appeal to everyone at the same time. The seven decades of rock and roll music along with its even longer history gives us an extremely broad canvas to create discussions on, drawing from different areas with each episode. So there is still always something for everyone.

In the previous 28 episodes we've discussed The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Prince, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Kiss, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, The Who, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, the Monterey Pop Festival, Woodstock, Doo Wop, The Beach Boys, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Steely Dan, The Strokes, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, The Doors, Patti Smith, The Ramones, Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, Guns n Roses, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Velvet Underground, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Cars, Cheap Trick, Heart, Dave Grohl, Jack White, digital streaming, the state of the music industry and record labels, the effect of rap and hip hop on rock, Neil Young, Talking Heads, Counting Crows, Boston, The Temptations, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, the Smithereens, Suzanne Vega, Van Halen, Rick Rubin, The Gun Club, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, The Mekons, UFO, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Chuck Klosterman, John Philip Sousa, Billy Joel, The Wipers, Iron Maiden, Kurt Vonnegut, Tom Waits, Thin Lizzy, the Bee Gees, Mozart, Beethoven, Puccini, Bob Marley, 5 Seconds of Summer, Twenty One Pilots, Ed Sheeran, J Geils Band, Billy Miller, Chris Cornell, the Desert Trip concerts, aging rock stars, our favorite debut albums, soundtracks, music licensing, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, disco vs. rock, and our most overrated and underrated artists. We've also been joined by special guests such as, author and photographers Bob Gruen and Lydia Criss, author and pop culture critic Alice Echols, and writer and director Michael Lee Nirenberg.
