Pod of Thunder

Fozzy and Kuarantine frontman Chris Jericho makes his 51st appearance on POT as he helps the guys analyze a song he selected off the Listener Submission List: “On and On” from the 1985 Raven album Stay Hard! The trio was hugely influential as a member of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal before signing with Atlantic Records in pursuit of more mainstream success. Did this cut (and accompanying video) from the group’s major label debut take things to the next level, or did it ruin Raven forever? Listen and find out!

The guys analyze an Andy pick from the Listener Submission List: the title track from the 2005 Glenn Hughes solo album Soul Mover! Featuring Dave Navarro and Chad Smith, who were briefly bandmates in the Red Hot Chili Peppers, this one had all the ingredients (on paper, anyway) for a potent power-trio workout. But was the song itself good enough to earn some Sweet Surrenders and the coveted Rock & Roll Boner distinction, or did it receive a swift kick or two to the crotch? Listen and find out!

Interest in the Canadian trio has been rekindled recently, with a long-awaited reunion tour scheduled to start later this year.

The fellas commence another FebLOUary, a special month of shows devoted to artists who exemplify the romantic, passionate, lustful vibe of the inimitable Lou Rawls! This week, they analyze a pick from a returning guest, Chris L.’s buddy Mike Abene: “You Take My Heart Away” from Bill Conti’s 1976 soundtrack album for the motion picture Rocky! Making his 49th POT appearance, Chris Jericho also joins the discussion of a song that Mike accurately described thusly: “you’ve heard it 1000 times, but you don’t know it.” What did he mean by that? And did this vehicle for the dual vocals of DeEtta Little and Nelson Pigford knock out all five members of the panel, or did someone throw in the towel on it? Listen and find out!

The guys analyze an Andy pick from the Listener Submission List: “Blown” from the 1992 Warrior Soul album Salutations from the Ghetto Nation! ALB was in the mood for a certain vibe for this episode, so he rolled the dice and went with a song that he (and as it turned out, Nick) had never heard before. Did he find what he was looking for, or was his evening ruined? Did Chris try to sway any opinions with his pre-existing fandom of fellow Detroit native Kory Clarke’s anarchic alt-metal outfit?

The guys analyze a Nick pick from the Listener Submission List: the title track from the 1986 Black ’N Blue album Nasty Nasty! This one is loaded with KISS connections, from Gene Simmons sitting in the producer’s chair and Tommy Thayer filling the lead guitar slot to several familiar-sounding riffs from throughout the KISS catalog. Did that mean automatic approval from the Boners, or was the song simply too derivative and/or ridiculous for their tastes? Listen and find out!
