Talking Bollocks

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.

This Is Ten Years Of Bollocks.

In nearly ten years of this show I have the first instrumental band on the podcast. These guys play in a number of bands as you will hear, the most well known one of which is friends of the show Atheist. With a new Fermentor album about to drop the lads got in touch and I am so glad they did as the twisted metal landscapes these guys create are quite something to behold. The resulting interview is fun, informative and in depth as I ask the questions that need asking, what have you got against singers?!

There is brief jog through the news and actual major metal stories, some clumsy ill thought out metaphors and disappointment in some metal icons.

I catch up with former Motörcast guest and bootmaker extraordinaire Pascal Davayat. He has made boots for so many famous rockers like Lemmy and Dee Snider but his own story is even more amazing. We touch on all sorts of topics from music to film from architectural brutalism to the Bullet Boys and don't forget nearly being run over by Warren Beatty and lots of 80s metal chat! There is also my latest run in with the news where an old friend comes back for the last time and I have the biggest breaking story in metal!

It's time for Igor and I to have a chat without Max. For their debut album it was all three of us but Igor has taken the reins of this album and made it his own and whilst traveling across the US on tour he tells me all about it. He reveals all about his many projects and also the "real" job he had to do whilst writing this album.

Then there is the news (which includes a musical interlude) this is NOT work safe from the very beginning. This Is Staind Bollocks.

My friend Paul Waller of A Year In Horror asked me if I wanted to go to the relaunch of Hammer films and see the premiere of Jekyll starring Eddie Izzard. My answer was of course I do and this is what happened.

It's been a while but Tommy Victor is back on the show! In this chat we get down to talking about the new Prong album State Of Emergency pretty quickly which is with good reason. Firstly it is why Tommy is doing a ton of interviews and secondly I want to talk about an album that will almost certainly be in my top five of 2023.

There is also a bit of a good vibes news section that is likely to astound and dumbfound in equal measure. This Is Good News Bollocks.

Miles is back and with lots to tell us all about upcoming Noise Records news. We have a great chat around all things music business, trends in the current climate, metal as a major label imprint and what a nice guy Nikki Sixx is!

Plus the usual round up of news that isn't news and one particular band and booker who would appear to try to be recreating the late 90's. On purpose!
