Can I Pod With Madness is a podcast in which we meticulously review a copy of Kerrang! or Metal Hammer, from 1987-1989 (mostly). Expect lots of talk about Iron Maiden, Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, KISS, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith and Lisa Dominique. Also some waffle about what was on telly that week, what was in the charts and general aimless nostalgia. Bringing the metal back to where it belongs!

What's a jalopy? What's that awful wailing? Ozzy Osbourne doing Winter Wonderland, that's what, so it must be our fun, festive Christmas episode. Cliff's least loved Christmas hit is examined and we struggle to follow the plot of a video for a smooth 80s jam. Also, remember Lemmings? Man that was a good game. In the world of Kerrang, we look at the…

Faith No More's Big Jim Martin appears as the Kerrang cover star this week, so we're back in AD 1989. There's a NWOBHM special, because of course there is, and we examine a few forgotten heroes of that bygone age. Or to be more specific, we look at a couple of goofy old promo photos. We check in with our old pals Ice Age who are ROCKING Wisbech Mar…

We're just gonna carry on as if there's not been a massive gap in our scheduling, and everything's completely normal, right? Denim and Leather are BACK! Our unexpected hiatus means we have a LOT to catch up on, which means no Kerrang this week- if you regularly tune in for info on all your Classic 80s metal faves you might want to skip this one (bu…

HI BILLY! What's the one movie that gets mentioned on this podcast more than any other? Long time listeners will hardly be surprised to hear that we've recorded a Lost Boys special. Join us as we luxuriate in the sexy vampire goodness, 80s style! What's Kiefer Sutherland like in real life? Has Billy Wirth cast a spell over all women of a certain ag…

We’re looking at the early 80s work of Genesis and immediately make an absolute booboo regarding their hit Mama - I know it wasn’t Rapper’s Delight, it was The Message by Grandmaster Flash that was the inspiration for the laughy bit! Don’t @ me! Regardless their “The Mama Tour” video is praised to high heaven despite having one of their more embarr…

What’s Phil Collins’ favourite chocolate? It’s not a gag, we actually want to know. Regardless of the famous tub thumper’s preferred sweet treat, he’s the star of Kerrang’s most bonkers cover ever. We’re looking at a really really OLD magazine this week, so there’s news on Status Quo splitting up shocker - especially shocking since they carried on …

It's Q, so by law there has to be a feature about U2, but it's U2 in their postmodern, post-earnest, post black and white phase. We discuss the best song they ever did- see if you can guess which it is, considering we also talk about Batman Forever on this one. Also featured is Prince so we investigate further his collaboration with Kate Bush and d…

Once again we’re taking a break from the parallel universe of 80s metal, and delving into Q, The Modern Guide To Music and More, from 1992, so we’re on the back foot straight away as everything is spelled correctly. There’s news about Prince and Craig McLachlan, and ABBA are back, back, back etc. This leads us to talk about the brilliance of Erasur…

Back with our faces in Kerrang Kontaktz, we finally get to some Korrespondences with real live Kerrang readers from back in the day. In addition we tackle Kontroversies such as rap metal krossover, whether 80s Sabbath are any cop, and is Satan as much of a laugh as he claims. Along the way we look at psychedelic jazz blues prog trio Show of Hands, …

This week we’re looking at Kerrang Kontaktz, the Magazine Written By Rock Fans - or alternatively, a lazy money for old rope exercise in which some long rambling letters get published in full. Some “Kontroversial Komments” on the matters of are Whitesnake big fat sellouts, is Robert Plant trying to distance himself from his Led Zeppelin past, and a…

This week we’re taking a look at Lenny Kravitz, and asking is he too sexy to be into Star Wars? Talking of NSFW content, we remember a classic Steve Guttenburg video, and assess the career of Judge Reinhold. Kerrang’s cover star is Marillion new boy Steve Hogarth, in a leaf related photoshoot. We ask is their latest single ideal to be used in an 80…

Vixen are our cover stars in this issue, so the casual sexism starts early! WASP are celebrating their lead guitarist (who - spoiler alert, bails out of the band in 6 months time) and cranking out a Jethro Tull cover. There’s reports of secret Aerosmith gigs, so we may rebrand as a mystery podcast. We’ve got features on Quireboys (mostly drunk) and…

In a change from the intended episode we don't even get to Kerrang in this one, but we do talk about Steve Wozniak, reminisce about Feeder's Just a Day, discover Feeder's Just a Day 2, remember the first lockdown and spin off into a conversation about Eurovision and our favourite entry ever from 2006, Lithuania's LT United with We Are The Winners. …

Kicking off a new year and a new podcast with yet more Gen Patter, as we question whether Gen Z are into Zorro, and wonder whether it’s too late in the game to change the name of the podcast. Simply Red are reappraised, despite not appearing in this week’s issue of Kerrang! However - we do get Atomkraft, WASP, The Accused, Dogs D’amour, Paul Sabu, …

Like a Christmas Gift For You, but less problematic (thanks Phil!) here’s a very special BONUS podcast that we recorded way back in April. We basically spend this bonus episode promoting Reels Ov Steel, the Heavy Metal Movies podcast, who probably have way more listeners than we do, but what you gonna do? This led us to discuss what constitutes a g…

Welcome to our Christmas Pod (for the third time). We thought we were done but then there was some IMPORTANT BREAKING KISS NEWS to cover (sorry... “kover”). Along the way we talk ABBA (obviously), The Millennium Dome, Spice Girls and horror movies that make you cry (or possibly just me). Damn you Guillermo Del Toro! We attempt to delve into Kerrang…

Welcome to our Christmas Pod (for the second time). It's 1988 and behind the glorious Simon Bisley cover we're looking at a whole bunch of Festive Feechas, once we're done gatekeeping the work of Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. Uriah Heep are playing a Christmas festival, there's some surprising news about Marillion and we explore the connection betwee…

It's Christmas time, so naturally we spend about an hour talking about going to For The Love of Horror, the UK's premier horror convention.

The stars of Metal are asked what …

We're back under the Metal Hammer this week as we take a look at a pre Seventh Son of a Seventh Son Iron Maiden. They're in a reflective mood (doing promo for their video 12 Wasted Years) but that leads us to talk Tiswas, Going Live, Live and Kicking and CD:UK. Along the way we get sidetracked by Stephen King, Mr Blobby, You and Me (Duncan the Drag…

In this spooky Halloween Special, we discuss going to The Happiest Place On Earth, ruminate on the difference between Millennials and Generation X and face up to the fact that we're now fully fledged Disney Adults.

This is Can I Pod With Madness so why the hell are we talking about Elvis Costello, The Fine Young Cannibals and Freiheit? Well we've put away childish things (temporarily) and decided to get all sophisticated by looking at an issue of Q Magazine, the *modern* guide to music and more. The original idea was to mix things up a bit and not talk about …

In another format breaking episode, we're jumping in the Delorean and rolling up into 1984. It's a completely different rock scene, with Heavy Pettin, Raven and Charon, although there's still a Deep Purple feature so we’re not exactly in uncharted territory. Also lots of Meat Loaf! In a first (and probably last) we've got Prince on the cover, and a…

We’re back with the rear end of Kerrang 240. We’ve got Ladykillers! No longer a pervy request for readers to send in saucy pics, it’s now a salute to WOMEN IN ROCK. We look at a few WOMEN IN ROCK (and possibly invent some, “borrowing” a game from The Word Podcast). We talk about Grace Slick (and Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/Starship), and,…

In this unprecedented format shattering episode we are bringing it bang up to date with an edition of Kerrang from 1991! What is the rock scene like in this new decade, in the brave new age of Grunge? Surely Guns N' Roses won't be on the cover again? Well they are, but only in an inset. Otherwise we've got Thunder, Little Angels and Suzie Hatton. S…

PWM15: Kerrang 157 (Oct 10 1987) - The One With Karel Fialka, Emilie Autumn and Malfunkshun
1:08:25
Axl Rose appears on the cover in one of his many disguises, and we're plunged back in time to the heady days of October 1987, when Kerrang deemed it appropriate to feature T'Pau, Then Jericho and Jethro Tull. Finally a Tull feature! We examine how well preserved Ian Anderson is now, in comparison to how wizened he seemed in ‘87, and ponder the fine…

Doro out of Warlock, but soon to be just Doro adorns the cover of this, the earliest edition of Metal Hammer we own.

Ozzy is appearing at a charity show for Desmond Tutu, which we can find no evidence of, so perhaps this is proof of the Mandela Effect. Status Quo are Running All Over The World, due to a cunningly rerecorded version of their chug rock classic. Joan Jett’s in a movie with Michael J Fox. We fondly recall trying to play Slayer tunes on Guitar Hero. D…

Another frickin W.A.S.P. cover but this one’s a good one. Top of the Pops have been PRESSURED into featuring some of our favourite bands, but we still have to put up with Stock Aitken and Waterman.

Ozzy’s on the cover with a cheeky little scamp called Zakk Wylde. Whitesnake have renamed ZZ Top’s Tush, and AC/DC are busy blowing up your video.

We also (vaguely) remember Not Fade Away, Raw Power and Noisy Mothers (not Muthas)…

Returning to a week we previously covered in PWM03, today we’re looking at Kerrang 208 (Oct 8, 1988).

Tigertailz and some UK Glamsters. Marillion finally have a new singer but we’re not allowed to see him. Mötley Crüe are cleaned up (apparently) and Vince …
