Brooklyn royalty King Princess returns to the Like A Version studios, with their take on a grunge classic.

By popular demand, this week we have another music video-themed episode, however this time it's dedicated to Vanessa's picks of her favorite music videos from her childhood and adolescence. In that spirit we tackle the extended cut of Paul Abdul's classic video for "Rush, Rush" and discuss the time that Vanessa had a conversation with Keanu Reeves about making it. We also delve into the dramatic video for Bon Jovi's power ballad "Always" and Jonah recalls the time that Richie Sambora snubbed him because he wasn't in a band playing at Madison Square Garden. (Still not bitter about that, Richie.) We also dig deep into Soundgarden's psychedelic visual companion to "Black Hole Sun" and Jonah gives a little love to Metallica's austere clip for "The Unforgiven," which is a little too dark for Vanessa's taste. Whether you're a fan of Vitalogy or Vibeology, there's something for everyone on this Bayer-centric episode of HOW DID WE GET WEIRD?

Episode 7 of season 6 aired on Rebel Rock Radio at 7 pm on 16 Feb 2023. We eased in with The Boss, Bruce Springsteen, and a track called 'Last To Die'.  From there we heard Damageplan, the band that arguably cost Dimebag Darrell his life.  Red Dragon Cartel gave us a track called 'Big Mouth' featuring Maria Brink on vocals.  From there we were cruising, ACDC, Bush, and stuff like that. 

TSORR is working with Devographic and getting all the brand-new SA releases as they come out, or in our case about 12 hours before.  I don’t like to lose music time on interviews but I am enjoying these short sort of elevator speech interviews, I think they add value in terms of bringing the artist to you.  I spoke to Sheldon Horvatic the guy behind Oceans of Angels who explains his new track called ‘Carnival’ off his brand new EP titled The Gift.  Later on, when the music got a bit heavier we chatted to Jessy Switchblade, the frontman from SA Metal giants Deadline.  The new track 'Monuments' is awesome and shows that old-school metal is alive and well.   

Mid-show we picked up the pace with Danko Jones and Airbourne with ‘Suicide Woman’ and ‘Ready to Rock’ respectively.  I discovered a Mark Haze album I did not know had been released, the album is called Signs of Life and we checked out 'Step Off'.  Mark is one of the best vocalists in the world let alone SA.  This week's Immortal track was ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’, The Stones nailed it, big chill all the way. 

This week on the Ultimate Challenge we looked at 1991.  I didn’t spread it out as I did last week.  I played tracks off the four albums one after the other.  It depends on what was going on in your life but for me, 1991 was very special.  We checked out Skid Row with ‘Monkey Business’, Ozzy Osbourne with ‘Hellraiser’, Metallica with ‘Enter Sandman’, and Guns ‘n’ Roses with ‘You Could Be Mine’.  And the winner was………. Music, no one could decide they are all awesome.   The rules say you have to choose, it's gun to the head stuff so then it would be G 'N' R.  The new In Flames and Winery Dogs sound great, we took a listen.  the ending was very chilled, this is because i had a bit of a personal reflection and it marks a very specific point in time, I left it to Bob Dyland and Leonard Cohen to explain.  Thanks for listening.

The Story of Rock and Roll. TSORR - Your one-stop shop for Rock

S6E5 aired at 19h00 on 2 Feb 2023 live on Rebel Rock Radio.  The opening track was by Warrior Soul, I have some good memories of this band.  Marq Vas and I discovered them in the early ‘90s and their Last Decade, Dead Century album, where this track came from was always in heavy rotation.  Next up, Thunder Mother with ‘Borrowed Time’ conjured up the image of thousands of lighters held aloft, and ‘Turn of the Screw' from Heaven & Hell again reminded us of the magnificence of Ronnie James Dio’s Voice.   

During the show, Tim sent me the list of 2023 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominations and coincidently four of them were in the 'possible track' playlist.  So with that, I had to play Iron Maiden, Sound Garden, Sheryl Crow, and Warren Zevon.  Good luck to all of them.   Billy Idol has a very cool thing going, he has released an EP every year since 2021, I assume it is on purpose, and we will get another one in 2023.  It keeps things fresh and as long as Steve Stevens is with him I will buy every single one.  Suicidal Tendencies raised the tempo by a factor of about ten with a delightful track called ‘Disco’s Out, Murders In'.  We had a bit of fun trying to figure out which of these four albums released in 1984 you would choose if you could only choose two.  We had Van Halen, - 1984, Iron Maiden - Powerslave, Metallica - Ride The Lightening and, Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith.  There was no clear favorite which was to be expected given the quality of those albums, and that was the point. For my money, it was Metallica and the mighty Judas Priest, but tomorrow it might be different.  Next week we will look at 1980. We took a listen to 'The Sentinel' and 'Creeping Death'. 

South African music was well represented by Future Radio, comprising Johnny Future and Drikus Roets, two very talented artist/musicians.  We heard a track called 'DOI' off their Freedom album, then we had Johnathan Martin with 'Don't Want To Know' and finally SA Rock and Bluesman Kenny Hughes who spoke to me this week and told me a bit about the new track 'Midnight Man'.  We listened to what he said about it and then took a listen to it.  It is a great track and people liked it a lot.  The plan is to do more of these short 5 min interviews and to give the artist a chance to tell you about their music.   

The UK Punk slot was ably filled by The Stranglers, UK Subs, and Sham 69 and then it was time for our weekly Immortals, i.e. tracks over 7 min long that will live forever.  This week it was The Fall of the Peacemakers by Molly Hatchet.  For my money the highlights of this show were Indian rockers Girish & the Chronicles, their new album Back on Earth is simply stunning, its got everything you would expect from a top-flight '80s style metal band.  The brand new Iggy Pop is out and we played ‘Morning Show’ which is wonderful.  I advised you to listen to it a couple of times.  It is a serious grower.   There is plenty more to get into, this episode was a cracker.  Cheers and thanks for listening.

Episode 33 of season 5 aired finally at 19h18 on Rebel Rock Radio.  Same as last week I could not connect to the server but this time I found some gremlins in the system and was able to sort it out.  We kicked off with Guns ‘n’ Roses, with Accept and Herman Frank in hot pursuit.  Both those tracks featured Herman because back in 1984 when Restless and Wild was released he was on guitar with Wolf Hoffman.  Pearl Jam and Soundgarden signaled the end of the metal for the next 10 minutes.  From there we went all over the place, leaving the grunge in Seattle we moved to Ireland for The Boomtown Rats, London for Joe Jackson, then down under for some ACDC and a track called 'Giving the Dog a Bone' off Back in Black.  Mutt Lange produced both the ACDC and the Boomtown Rats' The Fine Art of Surfacing.     

We had new stuff from Hell Fire and a track called 'Tortuga Nights' off the new album called Reckoning.  Also new was a track called 'Yen' off the new Slipknot, which is being released one track at a time in the same way as Arch Enemy and Megadeth were.  Speaking of both of those we checked them out as well.  It was cool to toast the late great Taylor Hawkins and check out a track called ‘Rudy’ off his EP Kota.  It's got so many hooks it reminds me of Rabbitt.  We went mellow with Dire Straits and a track called 'Lions' off the Live at the BBC album and then we went heavy again with a track called ‘Exiled From Earth’ off the finally released album called 'Deceivers'.  Arch Enemy is my current favorite metal band, Michael Amott and Alissa White-Gluz are killing it.   

By the end of the show, we had gone from Del Amitri to Parkway Drive and Nickelback to Soulfly.  The UK Punk slot was great, and The Stranglers with Duchess really hit the spot.  The Rodneys were lining up, god forbid.  It was also great to hear Stiff Little Fingers with 'Nobody's' Hero and Simon McBride who is now in Deep Purple in place of Steve Morse made his TSORR debut with a rack called 'High Stakes'.  We finished up with Rage Against the Machines cover of Devo’s track ‘Beautiful World, Zack De La Roche literally oozes resentment at the end, don’t be like Zack kids.   All in all, it was a pretty mixed-up affair, in a good way.   

Artists featured:  Guns ‘n’ Roses, Accept, Herman Frank, Newsted, Hell Fire, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, The Boomtown Rats, Joe Jackson, ACDC, Santana, Dave Hause, John Mellencamp, Rush, All them Witches, Megadeth, Slipknot, Taylor Hawkins, Dirty Honey, Simon McBride, Dire Straits, Arch Enemy, Bring Me The Horizon, Nickelback, Hinder, The Stranglers, Stiff Little Fingers, The Clash, Mr Big, The Answer, We Are Harlot, Sixx A.M., Del Amitri, Parkway Drive, Soulfly, Rage Against The Machine
