Talking Bollocks

Special Episode - Bjorn Strid & David Andersson Soilwork 2014

For those of you who don't know David passed away very recently. This interview first appeared on episode six of Talking Bollocks. 

I went to interview Bobby from Overkill and Soilwork were playing this show with them as well so I jumped at the chance to chat to Bjorn & David. They were on the back of The Living Infinite which had blown me away and I was excited to talk them about it. 

 

Episode 126: David Davidson - Revocation

In this Episode Dave and I go all around the houses, it's more a case of what don't we talk about! We get involved in discussions about driving, comedy, kids, Covid, kids with Covid, being self employed, supply chain issues effecting the music industry, Dave takes over and interviews me for a bit and we even talk about their new album Netherheaven.

 

Added to that is the unusual look at the news which includes a rant about one of my favourite countries, pointless Ozzy footage that you can't watch, a moan about Blabbermouth and clickbait, a knock at the door and an as yet unnamed singer no one gives a fuck about.

In this episode I get a chance to catch up with the behind the name behind the band, Ryan Waste. We get through a lot including most of Ryan's record collection, stories from the underground and of course their new album Electrified Brain.

 

As always I get through a ton of news stories via the kaleidoscope that is my mind. There is unexpected sympathy for two well known targets from the past, the saviour of heavy metal and all you could ever want from a heavy metal watch.

Episode 124: Nick From Nicolas Cage Fighter

Support The Podcast Patreon

It's time for my first Australian interview. I was fortunate enough to catch up with NCF vocalist, Nick. This was great fun to do as the band are at the very start of their music, recording and touring career. We discuss the pitfalls of being based so far away from everything, the Aussie scene, vocal styles and of course the weather!

As always there is a raucous run through the biggest rock and metal stories of the day. There is love for Rush, respect for someone leaving a band, a lack of sympathy, a demand for a debt to be settled, a new song actually called "Time To Rock!" and someone who needs to move on.

After eight years Bjorn Strid of Soilwork makes his return to the podcast! This is a wide ranging chat that wanders into all aspects of the band and Bjorn's life within it. We cover the new album, singing, warm ups, abandonment, touring, relationships and antiques of course!

Added to this is the usual look at the rock and heavy metal news, some mad, some sad, some bad and some about the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Episode 122: Dave Ingram Benediction

In this episode Dave and I finally get a chance to catch up. As can be heard we're not exactly sure if our paths have crossed before but they definitely have now. We cover so much ground, some common, some not but we leave no stone unturned. Be it Benediction, Bolt Thrower, Dr Who, The Church Of Satan, Radio Shows, moving to Denmark we cover everything!

 

There is also none of the things that you have come to expect from an episode. No news, no reviews and praise for Jamey Jasta. As well as a breakdown of a bands social media gone viral for all the wrong reasons.

 

This Is Classy Bollocks.

*There is an annoying noise for about 30 seconds around 8/9 mins. Unfortunately it's on the original MP3 and cannot be edited. Sorry*

It has been four long years since Chris and I got a chance to catch up. So we did so inside some pods, it's a podcast it would be rude not to! We cover everything from Covid to Kreator, from Marillion to Decapitated.

There is also a longer than usual news section as there has been a lot coming out but besides that not a lot going on. We have major new releases sort of reviewed, major metal figures making announcements and doubts about metals "news" sources are expressed.
