Things have been nuts!!! I am sorry about the lack of new podcasts but I promise there will be 2 new ones in the next few days – 1 Talking Rock and 1 Talking Metal.

I jammed for 9 hours yesterday at the old Hit Factory (now the Gibson Show Room) in NYC with a great cast of people that included; Bud Friendly, Metal Mike (Halford/Bach), Richard Chrisrty (Death/Iced Earth), Kory Clark (Warrior Soul), Byron Davis (God Forbid) and Eddie Ojeda (Twisted Sister). Fun stuff.

Ozzy Osbourne recently told me that he was sad to hear about Kevin Dubrows passing.  He said he never knew him but thought he had a great voice.

In This Moment has already begun writing for their next album.

I heard Warbringers new CD and it rocks.  Pure thrash.  Good stuff.

———

I am also really digging some of the cuts on the new Stone Rider CD – “3 Legs Of Trouble” – download the cut “Juice Man” for a great introduction to this band.

Down and dirty hard rock at it’s best.  I hear AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, GnR and even a bit of Motorhead in their sound.

I am heading to Florida for a family vacation until the 11th. Once I get back we plan to hit you with a bunch of new podcast episodes!

We might record an episode tomorrow before I go.

There will be no new music from BLS in 2008.

If all goes as planned, Feb. 2008 will be a HUGE month for Talking Metal.
