After the success of Facelift, Man in a Box, a tour with Van Halen and the EP Sap, Alice in Chains sophomore effort Dirt was a huge success. But given the subject matter and what the band had to live through to deliver it, was it worth it?

In the 90s, Oasis took over popular culture and rock music in the UK. As the country moved out of Thatcherism and into a new era of Cool Britainnia, the Gallagher Brothers, Noel & Liam, led the way with their Beatles-esque string of hit singles and albums. However, in the US they never quite got the traction they assumed was inevitable to rule North America as well as England. Why is that? Was it the Gallaghers' constant fighting? Their unabashed cockiness? Their untamed unibrows? The Wolf has struggled for years to get more of his US friends to understand the greatness of Oasis and their melodies so we explore the UK phenomenon of Oasis with Paul Stephenson from Vintage Rock Pod & This Day Rocks to understand what it was like to grow up in the UK during those heady times. As the Liam and Noel are set to start their own tours of the UK, which of the Gallaghers are you most likely to see live?A Proud Member of the Pantheon Podcast Networkhttps://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/werewolf@ugly_w…

Tom & Zeus have the #1 KISS podcast on the planet in Shout It Out Loudcast. Not only do they have deep knowledge and undeniable passion for KISS but they're also hilarious and we never miss an episode. So this week we had our Pantheon Podcasts brothers on to talk KISS's 1992 album, Revenge. The first without Eric Carr behind the drums, the first for Eric Singer, and the first time in a decade they worked with Vinnie Vincent & Bob Ezrin. We had a blast remembering college days, listening to tunes, watching KISS X-treme Close-Up, seeing the Revenge Tour and late night conversations with Ace Frehley posters. If you're not having fun talking KISS, you're doing it wrong!!A proud member of the Pantheon Podcast Networkhttps://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/shoutitoutloudcasthttps://www.shoutitoutloudcast.com/@ugly_werewolf@actionjax72https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/werewolf?selected=PAN7737851879

Pink Floyd helped create progressive rock music in the 1960s and started out playing clubs in London with elaborate light shows. In the 1970s they became one of the biggest bands in the world with platinum records and record breaking tours.

Over the last 2 years live music has been absent from our lives and it's been hard. With COVID restrictions lifting, bands are getting back out on the road and we're as psyched as anyone for that. The Wolf held his Sting tickets for over 2 years before finally being able to see him at the London Palladium where he delivered a classic performance. Action Jackson caught his favorite hard rock band of all time, The Cult, in Florida with some dedicated Cult fans. We have 5 new pre-show questions & 5 new post-show questions for all our concerts and we ask them of each other as we relish being able to see our heroes live again!@ugly_werewolf@actionjax72A proud member of the Pantheon Podcast Network

Deborah Bonham & Peter Bullick have been making music together for decades. Whether live with Paul Rodgers, in the studio or out on the road these two have lived, loved & lost enough to finally be ready to release an amazing blues album. Culled from classic blues tracks and more modern song given a blues treatment, Bonham Bullick is out April 29. I get Deborah & Peter to talk about their musical origins, early experiences in music and the rundown on the latest album. Deborah doesn't need to trade on her late brother's legacy - she an extraordinary artist in her own right. But she does make room for fans of John & Led Zeppelin and we discuss that part of her life. A fun interview, both of them generous of spirit, we explore the blues, this album and playing live.A proud member of the Pantheon Podcast familyhttps://www.deborahbonham.com/index.htmlhttps://bonham-bullick.lnk.to/Bonham-Bullick@ugly_werewolf@actionjax72

After 3 years of The Wolf living in London, Action Jackson finally got to make it over for a visit.
