Ten For Tuesday Episode 086: Heavy Holidays

The last show of the year is a heavy one for me. It just felt like the time to do it.

Ten For Tuesday is a podcast dedicated to playing the music I couldn't find anywhere else. The music I like varies from style to style, genre to genre and era to era. You will hear punk, ska, rock, Americana, metal, country, rockabilly and more from all over the world. It doesn't matter if it's a major label or indie as long as I like it then it gets played. The motto is Less Talk More Music which means you won't hear me waxing poetic for fifteen minutes between songs. At TFT its all about the music...and me of course.

Ten For Tuesday Episode 080: 80s Metal Kind Of Mood

So last week I got into a mood at work and started jumping from video to video, listening along as I worked. It wasn't just any mood mind you, it was an 80s metal mood. Not hair metal, real metal from the earlier part of the decade for the most part. That's where this playlist came from. If you don't like 80s metal then it sucks being you, don't listen unless you do. I saw two of these groups back in the day and four within the past ten years. Care to guess which is which?



Scorpions - Can't Live Without You
Quiet Riot - Come On Feel The Noize
Accept - Balls To The Wall
Dio - Rainbow In The Dark
Judas Priest - You've Got Another Thing Coming
Iron Maiden - The Trooper
Anthrax - Indians
AC/DC - Shake Your Foundations
Fastway - Easy Livin'
Motorhead - Ace Of Spades

New Podcast Episode - Ten For Tuesday: 80s Metal Rules

Today's episode is in honor of my road trip from this past weekend to go to Kansas City and see Iron Maiden and Megadeth in concert. I had the idea for these bands in an 80s metal themed episode many months back but the time never seemed right. That is until the date of the concert approached and I knew there was no better time to do it. If the ten groups I have seen three of them in concert although only one took place in the 80s. That one would be Judas Priest whom I saw in Boeblingen, Germany at the end of the 80s while serving in the Army. While there I should have also seen Ozzy but for some unknown reason I didn't go and seemingly was on post by myself that night. Such is the stupidity of youth.

Iron Maiden - Wasted Years
Accept - Balls To The Wall
Quiet Riot - Metal Health
Dio - We Rock
Badlands - Highwire
Ozzy Osbourne - Miracle Man
Scorpions - Blackout
Judas Priest - You've Got Another Thing Going
The Cult - Wildflower
Jetboy - Feel The Shake

Ratt & Scorpions 80s Metal

Both metal groups Ratt and Scorpions are releasing new material next month. Ratt has been bolstered by the addition of Carlos Cavazo (Quiet Riot) to the band and is putting out an album of new music for the first time since 1999. Classic lineup members Stephen Pearcy (vocals), Warren DeMartini (guitar) and Bobby Blotzer (drums) are in as well as bassist Robbie Crane who has been with the group since 1996. This song has the classic Ratt sound and stands out to me so I am looking forward to the new album Infestation. I had a chance to see Ratt at Rocklahoma in 2007 (John Corabi was on guitar then) and frankly while the band sounded great Pearcy sounded horrible. I'm sure that they will be touring to support this new album so we'll see how he sounds live this time around. Yes I'll go if they come around here.



Scorpions have announced that they are calling it quits after 45 years (!?!) of playing music. They will release their new album Sting In The Tail next month and will follow with a massive world tour that will last until 2012 or 2013 and then go their seperate ways. The band has continuously released new music since their heyday in the 80s most notably with their album Humanity: Hour 1 in 2007 and still play to huge audiences in Europe and South America. With such a large your planned I can only pray that they will come around here once or dare I hope even twice? It'd be nice to see them again in Tulsa.
