Decibel Geek Podcast

We're back to cover all the latest, greatest, and strangest news in the rock world with Geekwire! Here's what we're digging into this time: Skid Row's New Era: Skid Row unveils new singer Justin Sargent with a head-scratching cover song. We share our thoughts on the hire, the rumors leading up to it, and our thoughts on the song selection and performance. Scorpions Head to the Big Screen: The Scorpions will get their silver screen treatment as their Wind of Change biopic readies release in 2027. Will it tell the true story of these German legends? Will it rival Mötley Crüe's The Dirt or, hopefully, Hysteria: The Def Leppard Story? We give our predictions. Motörhead's Orgasmatron Celebration: Motörhead has gone all-in on the 40th anniversary of Orgasmatron, releasing a cool behind-the-scenes documentary hosted by their longtime producer. Taking a Breather: A pair of legendary bands, Deep Purple and Cheap Trick, are taking breaks from the road—for different reasons, officially. The Ultimate Five-Neck Auction: Rick Nielsen's unique five-neck guitar sold at auction for a jaw-dropping price; we react. Accept's Anniversary Reunion: Ex-Accept singer David Reece will appear live with the band for their 50th-anniversary tour. Chris is giddy. Iommi's Busy Schedule: Tony Iommi is a busy man these days. We discuss his new album with Jorn Lande (and our thoughts on the collaboration), his recent addition to William Shatner's new metal project, and his optimism about remixing the Born Again album in the near future. The Ball Podcast: Dee Snider and Riki Rachtman have embarked on The Ball, a new music discussion show on YouTube. We share our thoughts and Chris' review of the first two episodes. Aerosmith's Hollywood Bow Out: Aerosmith wrapped their two big shows at the Hollywood Bowl with a star-studded lineup of friends. We go over some of the performances, highlights, and whether this is really the end for the Boston legends. KISS Doc Teaser: KISS has released a trailer for their upcoming End of the Road documentary. Will they cover the controversial topics (lip-synching, crew COVID issues, and more) that followed the tour, or will it be another we're-the-greatest presentation? Alice Cooper's Candid Reflections: Alice Cooper is reflecting on his "blackout" period of the early '80s and the crack addiction that almost killed him. We discuss his quote and speculate on what it really might mean. Maryann Cotton & Dick Wagner's Lost Project: Danish-American shock rock singer Maryann Cotton has released a long-delayed project that he put together with the late, great Dick Wagner, with contributions from Alice Cooper, Steve Hunter, and Tommy Henriksen. Fans of Alice's '70s and early '80s solo years will be interested to hear this. We give you a taste on the way out! We hope you enjoy Geewkire and SHARE with a friend!
