The Story of Rock and Roll: S7E18

The Story of Rock and Roll Radio Show

S7E18 went out on Rebel Rock Radio at 19h00 on 2 May 2024. It was nice to be back doing a live show and chatting to all the wonderful people on TSORR Central. We kicked off with Metallica and ‘The Struggle Within’ and the rock didn’t stop for the next 3 hours.

This week we played the first track in a 10-week series called Evolution. This was inspired by an article I read and a playlist that tracked the evolution of the Foo Fighters. I will do a track per week and then we’ll do the Evolution of the next band after that.

Note that if you listen to TSORR on Google Podcasts they are shutting it down and forcing podcasters onto YouTube Music. The problem with that, is you just can’t get through the red tape, and the shows get blocked due to the convoluted licencing structures. You can find us on plenty of other sites if this happens. The TSORR website www.thestoryofrockandroll.com will always be able to help. You can also always contact TSORR on Facebook, X, or Instagram.

This week's Twisted Twins featured tracks called ‘Rain’. Once again, we had triplets, it turns out that The Cult, Dead City Ruins and Candlebox all had kids called ’Rain’.

Immortals this week came from Iron Maiden. We listened to the title track off 1983’s Powerslave. Adrian Smith told a great story about his guitar solo on the track which was worth retelling.

The Diabolical Challenge looked at four bands beginning with the letter ‘R’. The idea is that we have 4 albums, and you can only pick one. This week we had:

Rammstein – Mutter

Rush – Moving Pictures

The Rolling Stones – Voodoo Lounge

Rodriguez – Cold Fact
