The Metal Shop

This is it, the episode VH fans have been waiting for: our final tribute to the legendary Edward Van Halen is a deep dive into the self titled debut of the mighty Van Halen!

We send off 2020 and talk about the goings on in the world of metal in the bizarre year that was.  We'll be back soon with our final Van Halen episode!

We continue our trip in the way back machine, covering the Dave era of the mighty Van Halen!

On October 6th, we lost a legend.  We decided to do an album by album dive into his career, but for fun, we're doing it in reverse!  In part 1 we'll cover "A Different Kind of Truth", Van Halen III, and the entire Sammy Hagar era. 

 

The wind blows through your hair as you slay the mighty red dragon and save the realm!  Not really, but power metal will paint that picture for you! Is it cheesy? Sure, but at least it's fun.

 

 

With all the protests and general unrest, we thought this would be a great time to release an episode on one of the most controversial bands of all time, Body Count. This one is a bit more politically charged than other episodes, but, fuck it.  Black Lives Matter.

Last episode we followed the band from its origins to the end of the classic era, when Fast Eddie Clarke left.  This episode we pick up from there, and follow the lineup shifts up until Lemmy's passing in 2015.

We're finally tackling Lemmy and the legendary Motorhead! This week we follow him through his days as a roadie, Hawkwind, and the classic era of the legendary band!

pretty straight forward. We continue our dive into 70s influences on heavy metal with the legendary Led Zeppelin!

This week, we cover the original shock rocker and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Alice Cooper! We discuss his career and influence on metal over the years.
