Description

In this episode, we look in-depth into the year 1997 & what it meant for the state of Hard Rock & Heavy Metal. Ever wonder what shifted the trends in 1997 and how bands like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest & Kiss adapted? In this episode, we explore the collapse of the '80s Hair Metal scene, Post-Grunge, Nu-Metal, & Modern Metal dominance, and Black Sabbath's monumental reunion & Ozzfest tour, minus Bill Ward. Additionally, we examine the evolution of heavy metal subgenres: From Thrash to Death & Black Metal, plus the growth & emergence of American & European Prog, Power & Symphonic Metal Bands.

We’ll also discuss why 1997 was both a nostalgic and experimental year for legendary acts like Aerosmith, Bruce Dickinson, Metallica, Megadeth, and Queensryche. We'll also reveal memorable stories from the Ozzfest tour that featured Pantera and Marilyn Manson, including tales of drinking with Vinnie Paul. Join us as we break down the pivotal moments, killer albums, and unforgettable concerts that shaped this year in Metal history.
