Episode 247: Craig Locicero Forbidden

Does anyone actually click this fucking link?

My old mate Craig Locicero is back on the podcast! It's been too long and we get right into too many subjects to mention but needless to say all things Forbidden are covered. Plus a few things from way back in the day as well. There is the always interesting look at the news with the bad mouthing of Blabbermouth, praise and rebuke for all comers including Rammstein, Geoff Tate, Metallica, HD quality video footage of Bruce Dickinson signing albums, Thor (the band not Marvel Superhero) and praise for Nikki Sixx. This Is Fighting, Feeding, Fucking, Forbidden Bollocks.

Episode 246: Julie Weir Music For Nations Label Manager Part 2

Support The Podcast Patreon

Please welcome back to the podcast Julie Weir! In July last year had a chat and said at the end of it "we must do this again some time" so we did. A lot has happened since we last spoke so there's a lot to catch up on, music to talk about, bands to mention and podcasts too.

There is also an abuse of news which includes a game of musical drum stools, people not wanting to write books, people wanting to write books, uncalled for videos and someone who thinks God likes his band. Twat.

This Is Corned Beef Bollocks.

In this episode I get to talk to vocalist, guitarist & Morta Skuld founder David Gregor. We cover everything from how the new cracking album Creation Undone came together, Death Metal, comedy, Acid Reign and Kiss not being very good, YES!

There's a look at the so called news with added understanding for some, boredom for others and total scorn for everyone else.

Episode 244: Kyle From Exhorder

Support The Podcast

Kyle is back on the show to talk mainly about new killer album Defectum Omnium. I say mainly because this was Kyle's last interview of the day so there is a bit of an "end of term" vibe to this chat which covers everything from vocal warm downs to Black Sabbath cover bands.

There is an extended look at the news as I get way too exercised about the non stories of the last two weeks. Ever heard of the band Idles? Thought not.

Episode 243: Zoltan From Ektomorf

Support Podcast Patreon

This episode's guest is Zoltan Farkas vocalist/guitarist, founder and creator of legendary Hungarian outfit Ektomorf. We start out talking about their great new album "Vivid Black" and what inspired it and that leads to a place that leaves you in no doubt what the underlying motivations were. Sometimes I am lucky enough to speak with people who are willing to go wherever the conversation takes us and this is one of those occasions.

There is also the usual cursory run through the news and not news of the last few weeks which include a few stories that aren't stories, statements that aren't statements, people getting well and people getting kicked out.

This Is Two Hour Bollocks.

Episode 242: Best Albums Of 2023 & Heitham From Senser

Support The Podcast

For the tenth time in a row the year starts with my favourite albums of the last year but in a first it's a top ten (sort of) instead of a top five. Once all of that is out of the way Heitham of Senser and I have a chat prior to their awesome December show at the 100 club, Oxford Street. We talk music, pandemics and food as well as resolving to have a longer catch up soon.

There is a cut down review of the news but boy does someone get some stuff off their chest.

Episode 241: Talking Bollocks Tenth Anniversary Special

Ten Years - Pay Your Debts

Yes it's ten years of Talking Bollocks and to celebrate I drafted in my good friend Old Head to interview... Me! We had a blast and I'm sure you'll enjoy hearing all the behind the scenes stories.

As always there is a blast through the news which includes: Dismay for Belladonna, distain for Ki$$, praise for Osborne, concern for Rush, honesty from Dickinson & respect for Sepultura.
