Metal Nerdery Podcast

“That’s the thing about music…it’s time stamped…it’s the soundtrack of our lives…especially for metal heads…”   The metal world mourns the tragic loss of another legend, and this one hit too close to home...    BRENT HINDS of Atlanta metal pioneers MASTODON was killed on August 20, 2025, in a traffic accident, just months after he and the band parted ways.   There is no other band on earth like MASTODON, and there will never be another guitar player like BRENT HINDS, and so with that, we give you our 2nd installment of MASTODON, focusing on their later work, from 2011’s “The Hunter” to the final album to feature Hinds’ contributions, the progressive double album opus, 2021’s “Hushed And Grim”.   Discover why metal girls are so much better than girls who aren’t into metal, learn the importance of spirit animals and shamans when traveling to other dimensions, and be sure to embrace the power of telepathy when communing with The Ineffable when you JOIN US as we bid farewell to BRENT HINDS and dig into the 2nd half of the MASTODON catalog with MASTODON CHAPTER II: 2010-2025.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can’t be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast Show Notes: (00:01): “The greatest misheard lyric…” / “It’s really good…it’s perfect…”/ “Looks…tastes…behaves like a peach…”/ ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised *** / WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST IN BUNKERPOON 3-D DIGITAL!!! / #TheAverageDoubleteam / “Did you know, that if you take a tape measure…” / “She went to 73 inches…”/ #findyourage    (05:26): “Up to a point…which is the point of this episode…”/ #BrentHinds #RestInPeace / #allegedly / “Look twice, save lives…”/ “If you’re not using your headphones with your phone in public, you’re an asshole…”/ #onmicburp / “He said to do more, so I’m trying to…I’m working on it…I can only eat so much, I can only drink so much, but I’m doing my best…”/ #RussellsReflectionsBedtimeEdition / “I listen to #Slayer on my phone at the same volume…”   (12:52): PATREON SHOUT OUT: ***JOIN US on The Patreon at patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast *** / “See if you can guess what this is?

“We can’t ever talk about this so let’s talk about not talking about it when we’re talking about it…” Released on July 14th, 1992, COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION, the 5th MEGADETH album (and the 2nd to feature “the classic lineup” of Dave Mustaine, David Ellefson, Marty Friedman, and Nick Menza) would become the follow up to “one of the most perfect thrash albums of all time”, featuring a more streamlined, simplified, straight forward approach which served as a sonic palette cleanser to the progressive thrash complexity of 1990’s masterpiece, Rust In Peace. Simply stated, COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION is complex in its simplicity. Even though this might be the most offensive episode we’ve ever made, we’d like to remind everyone that we’re still all about “rainbows and peaches” even though we’ve emphatically stated for the record that “we’re not gonna talk about it”.  Remember proper cell phone etiquette to avoid being bothersome to others, prepare yourself for “The Average Double-Team”, head on down to Dangol County for some “High Speed Dirt”, and last but not least, find out “how to get out of offending anybody” when you “go pick up some honkies” and JOIN US as we start the clock and begin our analysis of MEGADETH’s COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can’t be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast   Show Notes: (00:01): “We’re not gonna talk about it…but you always wanna talk about it…” / “We can’t ever talk about this so let’s talk about not talking about it when we’re talking about it…”/ “Rainbows and peaches, dude…”/ #buttstuff / “It’s more peach-like in flavor…”/ #KoolAidMan / “Is she a #Redskin?” / “Is it the Washington Nationals?” (NOTE: It’s the Commanders.) / #RacistReflections and using your phone in public (where EVERYONE can hear your music, your conversations, etc.) / “So is it racist…?” / “Do you know where #honky comes from?” / “Why don’t we have better slurs?” / #beeroftheepisode / “Let’s go pick up some honkies and go out and do some stuff…” / ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised    (07:27): ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST!!!*** / #DreamReflections / “Has anybody caught the new #KingOfTheHill…?” / #RussellsReflectionsNostalgiaEdition / “He LEANS into it…”/ #onmicburp / “King of Hill…”/ #InMemoriam / “There’s some conspiracy…”/ “They’re selling their #voicerights to AI…”/ #DangolCounty / “Dude…the Average Double-team…that’s our new podcast…that’s this side of the table…”/ #TheAverageDoubleteam   (14:44): ***JOIN US on the Socials at #Facebook #Instagram #YouTube and #TikTok at #metalnerderypodcast and EMAIL US at metalnerdery@gmail.com and VOICEMAIL US at 980-666-8182!!!*** / ***PATREON US at patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast *** / #BunkerpoonRequestLine / #PatreonShoutOut / “We’ll do 3 solo episodes…kinda like the solo albums…”   (17:11): #TheDocket METAL NERDERY PODCAST PRESENTS: MEGADETH – COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION / “Can you believe it’s been 33 years!?” / July 14th, 1992 / #wisdomteeth and #drysockets / “I remember I had these tea leaves…”/ “When they pulled it out…it was purple…”/ “Do you hear that?

“When you thought it was over…it did kind of a slide down…and then he slid back up and back down again…and then he does it again…” August 8, 2006, marks the first SLAYER album in 16 years featuring Dave Lombardo behind the drum kit with CHRIST ILLUSION, their 10th studio album and their first since the release of God Hates Us All on 09/11/2001.  With the original classic lineup in place and artist Larry Carroll’s trademark macabre album art, CHRIST ILLUSION represents a true return to form for the thrash veterans, effectively picking up where 1990’s Seasons In The Abyss left off. Prepare to understand why the concept of “Uncanny Valley” has become exponentially creepier with the rise of artificial intelligence, discover which track is officially “the title track” and which one sounds like “a Taco Bell combo meal” for Slayer fans, realize that “Nickelback’s not that bad…they’re right up there with Creed” and get ready to enjoy some “sex noodles” when you JOIN US as we try to overcome our “Slayer Arrested Development (which is S.A.D.)” with CHRIST ILLUSION.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can’t be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast Show Notes:   (00:01): “Me Grok, me know what things are!” / “Destroyer is like their Black Album…you should know all of this…”/ ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised *** / #tritoon / “We went to a tie up…”/ “Sounds like…sex noodles…”/ ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST IN 5D DIMENSIONS!!!*** / #poonboat / “Why not call the boat a #trypoon…?” / “You think that’s like the monster truck of the water?” / #ponpoon / #RussellsReflectionsBoatEdition / “That’s a LOT money, man!”   (06:26): PATREON SHOUT OUT!!! / ***Come JOIN US over on the #Patreon at patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast *** / “The mighty hail…”/ #JustInCaseASMR / #Shittah / #ActusReus RABID DOGS #localmetal #metalcore #deathcore / “Those aren’t Grok Dogs…”/ #EmberingEffigy will be playing at #Yonderways at #TheBlackStrap in Gainesville    (11:23): ***JOIN US on the social media at #Instagram #Facebook #YouTube and #TikTok, EMAIL US at metalnerdery@gmail.com and VOICEMAIL US at 980-666-8182!!!*** / “I have a little quick thing I wanted to show you…” / “I would say it but I can’t pronounce it…”/ “Hot little Angus…”/ “Apparently when girls talk about size, they’re more into the girth…”   (14:44): #TheDocket METAL NERDERY PODCAST Presents: SLAYER – CHRIST ILLUSION / The first album featuring the original #Slayer lineup since Seasons In The Abyss / Released August 8, 2006 / #LarryCarroll / “That dude is a DUDE, man…”/ “Interestingly enough…” / “OMG that’s amazing…when you have that spot that you can’t get to…”/ “Then we just gotta go back…we’ve changed over the past 6 years…”/ FLESH STORM / “…and we’re back!” / “When I delete it in post…”/ CATALYST / “When you thought it was over…it did kind of a slide down…and then he slid back up and back down again…”   (25:35): SKELETON CHRIST / “Thrashy and groovy…”/ “Slayer were one of the first…breakdown bands…”/ #GrammyWinner #BestMetalPerformance / EYES OF THE INSANE / #UncannyValley / “Isn’t it like A.I., where it’s almost human but you can tell it is not…?” / The definition of Uncanny Valley / “I am SO fucking tired…let’s just get this out there…”/ “Maybe it was an A.I. generated article…”   (35:00): JIHAD / #CBLE / “There’s an outro part that’s really creepy…”/ “Every time…I get so much boner…”/ “That was mainly written about the 2 towers…but not WTC7…”/ “It’s right over there…on a map, it’s like 6 inches that way…”/ “She frew on a big prane…”/ “That might be one of the few times in life where it’s okay to do acid…”/ CONSFEARACY / “It’s like Dittohead…but opposite…”/ #RussellsReflections regarding #Ozzfest back in ’99 / “That’s a sign of aging…Nickelback’s not that bad…they’re right up there with Creed.”   (47:27): CATATONIC / “It’s kinda nice to hear Slayer do the heavy…”/ “Okay this is gonna sound weird…I feel like every band kinda does this a little bit…they try too hard to be themselves…”/ BLACK SERENADE / “This isn’t me being argumentative…I promise…”/ “You’ve got…Slayer Arrested Development, which is S.A.D.” / “I feel like they’ve got a file on me…check out his shit from last Thursday…”   (55:21): CULT / “That has classic, creepy Slayer vibes…”/ #titletrack / “I feel like that’s the title track…there it is!” / #backmasking / “I wanna get a Supremist meal…”/ SUPREMIST / “It’s good dry…”/ THANK YOU FOR JOINING US!!! / #untilthenext #outroreel #Doomsicle / #recordscratch #outtakes  

“It’s strange to think about a world without The Prince of Darkness…”  It all started on February 13, 1970, with the ominous sounds of chapel bells, thunder, and pouring rain, and it all ended with an emotionally charged, worldwide downpour of tears from fans across the planet on July 22, 2025, the day that OZZY OSBOURNE, The Prince Of Darkness, bade this world farewell and passed into eternity. Ozzy, for many metal heads, represents “the “beginning” of the heavy metal journey. With a “creepy and unsettling” voice that sounded like no one else before or after him, he was, for all intents and purposes, “the first and the last” of his kind in metal, helping to lay the foundations for the countless heavy metal subgenres that would follow and spawning legions of metal heads that would loyally follow him across multiple generations.  Get ready to “quit dick-docking around” for a little bit because it’s time to JOIN US as we “bless that man & bless that band” and pay tribute to the man who helped birth “the most powerful genre of music in the world” as we salute and bid a fond farewell to The Prince Of Darkness with OZZY OSBOURNE – IN MEMORIAM.

“Careful back there…”   Generally speaking, an artist’s DEBUT ALBUM will often be quite good, while their SOPHOMORE ALBUM, in contrast, will often be far more advanced, sophisticated, and light years better than the first, in terms of song writing and overall production. While this is more often than not the rule, there are some notable exceptions.   As with asking a parent with 2 kids “which one do you love more?”, sometimes the answer is obvious, and other times it’s “not even close”. And in the instances where dissenting opinions clashed, the resulting debate may have impacted the feelings of others “forevermore”.   It's time to “go get your mom” and bear witness to some “Gonz Bozonders” as we discuss the blockbuster movie magic behind “Shark Week” and prepare to “show no Morrissey” with regard to “butt scissoring” when you JOIN US as we try to determine whether various metal artist’s second albums are BETTER OR WORSE than their first.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can’t be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast   Show Notes: (00:01): “23 lbs down, son…”/ “That’s a heart healthy #origami diet…”/ #semiglutide / “Every time I come, you’re like ‘that’s fine’…” / ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised *** / #RussellsTwanglifiedVocals / ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY FENG SHUI UNDERGROUND BUNKERPOON PODCAST!!!*** / “I’m getting feng shui’d with my Wang Chung…”/ #thisepisodesbeeroftheepisode / #ObiOneCanObi / “Oh it smells like green pee…”/ “The cover model on the upstairs magazine…”/ #starcrunch / #uhhhhkay   (06:00): ***PATREON SHOUT OUT!!!*** / ***COME AND JOIN US ON THE PATREON AT patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast *** / “It’s like two dudes butthole fucking each other…”/ #buttscissoring / ***EMAIL US AT metalnerdery@gmail.com and VOICEMAIL US AT 980-666-8182!!!*** / “It’ll probably be out before this episode…the LAST episode…”/ “Don’t choke on those nuts, bro…”/ “I’m fuckin’ trippin’ balls…”/ “You might wanna swallow first…”   (10:30): #RussellsReflectionsMovieEdition #Jaws / “That’s not Snowflake…”/ #sharkweek / “Every month is shark week for women…”/ “Oh, you mean like the #moonlanding…”/ “BTW, who owned #MarthasVinyard?”/ “Without men, women would never be mothers…”/ #Duel #StevenSpielberg / #BJAndTheBear #EveryWhichWayButLoose #AnyWhichWayYouCan / “I’m telling you…go get your mom…” / “These guys are assholes…”/ #spoiler / “So anyway, that was Steven Spielberg’s first attempt…”/ “So it’s like #TheShining vs The Shining…”/ “That was his 4th movie (Jaws)…”/ “Sorry, had a couple of beers…(too many)”/ #swallowit / “I know this sounds weird, but…”/ #GonzBozonders / “I might have felt a little weird down there…”   (23:23): “I forget what we’re doing…/ #TheDocket / METAL NERDERY PODCAST PRESENTS:  2ND ALBUMS THAT ARE BETTER (OR WORSE) THAN THE DEBUT ALBUMS / “They’re not all gonna be equal…is it better or is it worse?” / “Okay, I’m gonna make this real easy to start…”/ “What?” / Hell Awaits vs Show No Mercy / “How about Shout At The Devil vs Too Fast For Love?” / “I am so lost…exactly…”   (29:43): “Kreator…how about Kreator?” / “Violent…what is it?” / “It’s not that different…it’s not as memorable…”/ “Put on your 1983 hat…Ride The Lightning (was not even out yet) …”/ “I was gonna say DirtBox…”/ Black Sabbath vs Paranoid / “If we’re doing a #DeathMatch…”/ Van Halen or Van Halen II? / “This is effectively a Death Match between first and second albums…”/ #VanHalen YOU’RE NO GOOD (Van Halen II – 1979) / “Maybe Kerry King played bass on all the Van Halen albums…”   (38:28): “I do wanna go back to the #Slayer thing…”/ #titillation / “You like Show No Morrissey…”/ “Progressive?

“There were some heroes and there were some zeroes…”   BACK TO THE BEGINNING, the final concert performance by the O.G. lineup of BLACK SABBATH featuring Bill Ward, Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, and Ozzy Osbourne (along with an all-star roster of top shelf rock & metal artists) was held at Villa Park in Aston, Birmingham, England on 05/07/2025 (that’s July 5th, 2025 for people in the United States) and raised nearly $200 Million for charity.    While BACK TO THE BEGINNING will go down in heavy metal history as “The Live Aid of Metal”, it also represents a significant turning point and an emotional marker for metal fans from all over the world who came to pay homage and bid a celebratory yet poignant farewell to the Founding Fathers of Heavy Metal and The Prince Of Darkness.   Ladies, prepare to comprehend why Pantera playing Sabbath songs at a Zeppelin tribute is as much a faux pas as “showing up to a funeral wearing a bridal gown”, gentlemen, understand how Slipknot’s Sid Wilson is an absolute genius when it comes to remembering landmark dates with that special someone, and as for everybody else, break out your assortment of relaxers and various modalities of twanglification and JOIN US as we celebrate Sabbath, Ozzy, and all things metal with our take on BACK TO THE BEGINNING.

“If you’ve got a whole room full of 10’s, that’s the 5…”   We’ve all been there. Every one of us have experienced an album where it was “almost perfect” front to back, yet there was that one song that blemished its perfection and brought it down a notch.  Granted, some songs may not fit relative to the context of an album and should have never been included to begin with, while others may have been played into the ground a quadrillion times to the point that even though it has become tiresome to listen to, “it’s not like it doesn’t belong” on the album.   Basically, the most pressing points to ponder when evaluating whether a song is “skippable” or simply should not exist are: “If you take this song off the album, does it make it a better album?” “If it’s 1980 and you’re wearing your jorts and your tank top and you’re at a Boone’s farm bonfire…is it a bad song?” “Is this the song that made this album worse…?”   Discover the most “prostate meltingly hot” thing a woman can wear, hear Beaker’s favorite song to do at karaoke after a long day on set at The Muppet Show, and prepare to get “T.B.R” when you JOIN US for the “hysteria” surrounding THE SONG THAT SHOULD NOT BE  as things get heated and hostile regarding GREAT METAL ALBUMS RUINED BY ONE SONG.    Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can’t be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast Show Notes: (00:01): “…just the tip…” / “No panties, no undies…like Donald Duck” / #dreams / “Maybe Mick Jagger liked it black…” / “So you’re a #Beatles guy, huh?” / “Dude you are TBR: Twanglified Beyond Recognition…”/ ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised *** / “After 2 doses of peanut butter, the black’s kinda weird…” / “Our latest Patreon was definitely irresponsible…we talked some real shit…that was just too much reality…”/ ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST IN THE FENG SHUI’D SUMMER SOLSTICE BUNKERPOON PLACE!!!*** / “Somewhere in the ether…”/ “I think we got rid of all the internal demons…” / ***”If you wanna hear what he’s referring to, JOIN US over on #Patreon at patreon.com/metalnerdery.com to find out!!!*** / “Don’t choke on those nuts, dude…”   (06:51): #nextlevel #SlayerOfTheEpisode / #mentalist / “Fingers in the butthole…the whole thing…”/ POSTMORTEM (Reign In Blood – 1986) / “She’s not old, dude…she’s our age…”/ #JenniferAnniston / “Funny makes a chick super-hot!” / “Here’s a hot look for the ladies…” / #prostatemeltinglyhot /    (12:18): #TheDocket / METAL NERDERY PODCAST PRESENTS: GREAT METAL ALBUMS RUINED BY 1 SONG (AKA: The Song That Should Not Be) / “We’ve gotta exorcise the demons, dude…”/ “Maybe it’s radio’s fault…” / #ACDC YOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG (Back In Black – 1980)  / “If it’s 1980 and you’re wearing your jorts and your tank top and you’re at a Boone’s farm bonfire…is it a bad song?” / #ICantGoBack / “Now it’s country…”   (17:52): “This is the first one I purchased with my own money…”/ “Your shutter speed’s a little slow…”/ #BlackSabbath CHANGES (Vol. 4 – 1972) /“You skip it because you feel unhappy and you feel so sad…”/ “You listen to as much of that as is appropriate to listen to before skipping…”/ “To stay on the Sabbath…”/ AM I GOING INSANE?

“If they’re not fat, they’re soft…” Think back to The Sunset Strip and the emerging metal scene of the early 80’s, full of sleaze, shred, and riffs, long before the emergence of the “serious glam” and “serious thrash” of the mid to late 80’s. METAL HEALTH and OUT OF THE CELLAR, released in 1983 and 1984, by QUIET RIOT and RATT (respectively) both preceded the hair metal movement of the late 80’s and ironically (to a great extent) helped to define it.    While both METAL HEALTH and OUT OF THE CELLAR were “more metal than we thought”, each album has its share of pros and cons, with some tracks drowning in 80’s nostalgia that sound a bit dated by today’s standards, and others possessing a far more timeless heavy metal quality that still holds up and sounds awesome even today.    It’s time to “purse the lips up a little bit” and grab the attention of those who smell like “Aqua Net and Marlboros” that are wearing the “bustiers and leopard skin spandex” who just want to “use the bathroom”.   Discover the shared traits which “vegans and wizards” have in common, find out why squirrels are “deadass” the dumbest creatures on earth and why some birds are “a little bit touched”, go ahead and submit your early enrollment for “Juilliard Speech School” and get ready to do some “edging” to try and replicate “the weird feeling” you had when you were 10 when you JOIN US for the SUNSET STRIP EDITION  of our HEAD-TO-HEAD DEATHMATCH featuring 2 of the greatest debut albums in the history of early 80’s metal, METAL HEALTH by QUIET RIOT and OUT OF THE CELLAR by RATT.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can’t be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast Show Notes: (00:01): “He became a recluse…” / “Have you ever seen a fat vegan…ever?” / “If they’re not fat, they’re soft.” / ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised *** / “I was influenced to do that…squigglies and boobs…”/ #downstairssquiggly / ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST!!!*** / #thisepisodesbeeroftheepisode / “I am worried…I’m worried, dude…”/ #NewHaze #MasonAleWorks #ZombieWars #ninepointfiveABV / “Lime green…shag…on the walls, on the floor…that’s new corporate condo carpet…this is NOT #daydrinking…”    (05:25): “I feel terrible…” / #RussellsReflections / “It was a squirrel…I went out of my way…”/ #deadass / “Every squirrel looks EXACTLY the same…”/ #squirreldrones / “If the earth is flat, why can’t we see #Everest?” / “It’s like we’re standing on a great big deck…”/ #overlymuch / “Without women, we wouldn’t have…”/ “But also…”/ “Not to one up your story…I didn’t do it on purpose, but it came from nowhere…”/ “Here’s a weird ghost question…did I tell you guys about the time I heard 1 bird chirping at 1 a.m.?” / #touched #specialneedsbird / #JuilliardSpeechSchool    (14:14): PATREON SHOUT OUT!!!

“It’s like the Sam Kinison meets Bobcat Goldthwait of dogs…”   Bridging the gap between the thrash metal of the late 80’s and early 90’s and the tidal wave of groove metal that made landfall in the metal community during the early 90’s (courtesy of Pantera), MACHINE HEAD came screaming out of the gate on August 9th, 1994, with their blisteringly crushing debut, BURN MY EYES.    Filled with brutally heavy riffs that occasionally blur the lines between thrash, groove, and even death metal, BURN MY EYES marked the continuing expansion of the next “next” wave of thrash and groove metal.    Discover the not-so-subtle ways that “Rod Roddy and Johnny Olson” have impacted this podcast, find out why “speaking in cursive” is not always helpful, and remember that not everybody gets to be “Charlie Chaplin”, even though you’re already more than “halfway there” whenever you “solemnly swear”.    Realize that “Phil Dremel and Robb Frynn” go back a few years, prepare to experience “SepulPanThrera”, and behold the impact that “writing with 7’s” can have on riffs when you JOIN US for the MACHINE HEAD debut that helped further the evolution of thrash and groove with BURN MY EYES.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182   Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok   Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can’t be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast Show Notes: (00:01): “Turn down for what?” / “I can see why you’d be upset by that…sounds like you’re angry…”/ #shadowing #shading / ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised ***/ “I told him he had to learn some tunes…”/ “He takes his dog with him everywhere…it’s like the Sam Kinison meets Bobcat Goldthwait of dogs…”/ “The black one and the big fat bitch…a fairy tale…”/ ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST!!!*** / #thisepisodesbeeroftheepisode #TropicalEsses 5%ABV #DayDrinkingBeer #TheVerdict / “It’s not like the crazy sours…”/ “When you’re reading the description…I got the whole #PriceIsRight thing going…”/ #RodRoddy #JohnnyOlsen / “That’s a game show name right there…” / “There’s 2 Price Is Right channels…there’s 2 Family Feuds…”/ “I’ve decided he will be my personal director of music…”   (08:43): ***JOIN US on the Patreon at patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast ***/ #PatreonShoutOut / “We got a new one…”/ EMAIL US at metalnerdery@gmail.com / #KillerKarl I’M A METALHEAD, BITCH! & NOT MY FUCKIN’ PROBLEM / “It’s just so weird…” / ***LEAVE US A REVIEW WHEREVER YOU DOWNLOAD OUR PODCAST!!!*** / “His name is definitely NOT #StuckMojo…”/ #fivestarrating / VOICEMAIL US AT 980-666-8182!!! / “There was no life in that at all…”/ “Hey…”/ “Maybe that’s why there was no life left in it…”/ ***CHECK US OUT ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA AT #YOUTUBE #TIKTOK #FACEBOOK #INSTAGRAM AT #metalnerderypodcast ***/ #SlayerOfTheEpisode / “Is that a disease?”/  ALTAR OF SACRIFICE (Reign In Blood – 1986) / “How dare you!” / “I feel better so much…”/ #RussellsReflectionsBrunchEdition / “It’s pure MSG actually…” / “You’ve gotta grab both pieces…”/ #CGCustoms #customguitarpainting #newguitarbone    (24:51): #TheDocket / “They already know what the docket is…it’s in the name of the show…”/ METAL NERDERY PODCAST PRESENTS:  MACHINE HEAD – BURN MY EYES / #Unatoned is the new #MachineHead album / “What if Metallica’s entire catalog was mixed like Master of Puppets?” / “The 2 Loads were almost the same…”/ “To me, it doesn’t sound like the first album…”/ UNBOUND (Unatoned – 2025) / “It was melodic, I was worried Bill wasn’t gonna like it…”/ “Let’s go back to 1994…”/ ***Go check out our Machine Head Inside The Metal episode from a few years back…*** / “Let’s be real, after 1990, #Pantera influenced everybody…”/ DAVIDIAN / “Are those #flahns?” / “Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast!” / “BTW, Chris Kontos (who is the drummer on this album) is now the drummer for #Forbidden…”   (37:37): “I like the shot glasses…”/ OLD / “It’s definitely 90’s…”/ “Why does oldness have a darker connotation to it?” / “We tried to find some stairs and coat hangers…I guess we’re paying for college…”/ A THOUSAND LIES / “Definitely a #Sepultura vibe and influence there…”/ Produced by Colin Richardson / “Slow…slooowww…slooooooowwwwwww…”/ “It went up and then it went down…”/ “Do you solemnly swear?

“Wait, the reason you cut your hair was for 2 dudes?”   It’s officially our 6th anniversary! That’s right, 6 years of metal discussions, ludicrous nonsense, and beers of the episode, and what better way to wrap up our 6th year in podcasting excellence than with STEEL PANTHER, the parody band that helped make 80’s hair metal FUN again, with every hyperbolic metal cliché you can think of that makes them the epitome of everything that made late 80’s hair metal so awesome. If S.O.D. is thrash metal with a generous side of hilarity, then STEEL PANTHER is quite obviously their hair metal counterpart.   Find out what happened “three or four days later…after the crying stopped”, discover which Slayer song is considered their “ballad”, understand why it’s healthy and fun to maintain the silliness of your youth as you get older and JOIN US as we celebrate 6 years of metal and nonsense by going deep INSIDE THE METAL of a band that blends hair metal and nonsense together on a level that our inner 8th grader would have greatly appreciated with the kings of L.A. hair metal absurdity, STEEL PANTHER.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode   Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on the iTunes/Apple Podcasts - Spotify or your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok   Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can’t be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast STEEL PANTHER on the InterWebs: www.steelpanther.com  Show Notes: (00:01): Happy 6th anniversary to #MetalNerderyPodcast!!!

“You’ll be divorced, alone, and flaccid…” Let’s go back a few years, back to a time when we were young and impressionable and just starting out on our respective metal odysseys as fans and purveyors of all things metal, including (but not limited to) the hard rock of our childhood years in the late 70’s to the plethora of NWOBHM, thrash, and other classic metal bands we discovered during our teen years in the late 80’s and early 90’s.  Back to a time when wearing a newly purchased tour shirt from a show the night before to school the next day was a sacred badge of honor, a time when local bands gave out flyers for shows that included “treasure map” style instructions for locating the venue, and a time when we each had our own personal attaché case containing the cassettes we’d recently procured (or otherwise came into possession of) on our unquenchable thirst and unending quest for anything and everything metal.  Imagine what “Miss Piggy with laryngitis” might sound like and remember to never do people dirty, because just like Pepperidge Farms, karma remembers. Get ready for a “crombination” of “skythes…or scythes”, discover some of the most absurdly talented drummers and bassists in the world today, and prepare to behold one of, if not the best, thrash bands from the local scene back in the day when you JOIN US as we travel back in time to THE METAL DAYS OF YORE: OUR FORMATIVE METAL YEARS.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast   Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on the iTunes/Apple Podcasts - Spotify or your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast Show Notes: (00:01): “He’s 70…and he’s in great shape.” / #DLR / “He started getting a salary and not royalties…”/ MichaelAnthony #⁠VanHalen⁠ / #RussellsReflectionsDavidLeeRothEdition / “Apparently he’s got a #teenieweenie …”/ “There it is…right there…”/ “I think he’s fine…”/ #networth / “He was a 20% member, manager Noel Monk being the 5th…” / ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised *** / “Once we hit 6 years, we need to do something…maybe we should do our own version of it…”/ “That makes me 100% flaccid…”/ ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST FROM DEEP WITHIN THE BUNKERPOON!!!*** / “Sounds too much like #MissPiggy with laryngitis…”  (09:40): “I feel like my whole routine is shot…I talked about it too much…”/ “You mean the front parking or the rear parking?” / “We may be ordering a pizza halfway through this…”/ “You’re gonna be hammered later…”/ “I started to mention it on the #Patreon…”/ “You can’t enjoy ANYTHING anymore because EVERYTHING is stupid…”/ #CharlesBerthoud / “I recognize that name…”/ #bassvirtuoso / FADE TO BLACK #fretlessbass / “That’s next level…”   (18:00): “Let’s talk about the #Patreons first…”/ #PatreonShoutOut / ***JOIN US ON THE PATREON AT ⁠patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast⁠ *** / “Hail TO all…he’s got a case of the Russes today…”/ ***JOIN US on #Instagram and #YouTube and #Facebook and #TikTok or EMAIL US at ⁠metalnerdery@gmail.com⁠ or VOICEMAIL US AT 980-666-8182!!!*** / #GalacticEmpire / THE IMPERIAL MARCH / “A #crombination of #KISS and #⁠Slipknot⁠ #KISSKnot …” / “That’s what this show is about…it’s about learning.”/ “Haven’t heard from Milla (Milley) or Geeoff…”/ “It’s just on the edge of being annoying as fuck…or impossible to stand…”/ #sixyearanniversary #metalnerderypodcast / “First of all, we got an email from a girl…”/ #Leafblower #wellplayyourshittah / “Burn Cruise?
