“Y’all don’t have to make everything about everything…”   Time has a strange way of playing with the mind and blurring perceptions. For example, 24 years is effectively a quarter of a century, and while that sounds like a pretty vast swath of time, in reality it is merely a tiny speck in the grand scheme of the endless universe. To put it another way, as of the date of this episode in 2025, it has been the same amount of time (24 years) since 2001, which included the launch of Wikipedia, the September 11th attacks, and the very first iPod by Apple.   In keeping with the relativity of time, NATIVITY IN BLACK: A TRIBUTE TO BLACK SABBATH was released way back in 1994, a whopping 24 years after the groundbreaking eponymous debut from Birmingham’s founding fathers of metal. At that time, in the early 90’s, it seemed as if eons of time had elapsed from the release of Sabbath’s debut until the release of this tribute honoring the classic Ozzy era of Sabbath from the 1970’s and their collective contributions to the heavy metal canon.    To take the concept of time just a step further, Black Sabbath recently played their final concert (Back To The Beginning) 55 years after the release of their debut album, and it has now been 31 years (as of the date of this episode, in 2025) since the NATIVITY IN BLACK compilation was unleashed upon the metal world, featuring some real bangers from metal bands spanning a variety of subgenres that still holds up to this day.   Discover the proper pronunciation of names which you have been saying the wrong way you’re entire life, including “Schuldiner, Peart, and chimpanzee”, hear our latest movie pitch for Rob Zombie, and remember the reason for feeling uneasy when you are unable to “touch bottom” after you JOIN US as we dive in to the first compilation of Black Sabbath covers that was cheekily named after Bill Ward’s beard with NATIVITY IN BLACK: A TRIBUTE TO BLACK SABBATH.

“I had to watch it 3 or 4 times to finally get there…”   Ahhh, the 80’s. A time when people could actually afford to live, back when Taco Bell was both super cheap and equally delicious, horror movies were genuinely scary and often boasted incredibly “special” special effects, and terrified parents everywhere were completely “freaking the motherfrickin’ frick out” over heavy metal and the ensuing “Satanic Panic” that followed. (Remember, we’re talking about the 80’s here…)   “I kinda feel like Satan probably listens to Air Supply nonstop…or Gino Vanelli…”   Not to worry though, because Tipper Gore was on the case, going out of her way to ensure that the future prosperity of heavy metal would be secure forever with the PMRC seal of approval (PARENTAL ADVISORY – EXPLICIT CONTENT) plastered on the cover of everything that would be deemed essential listening.   Thanks to the diligent efforts and painstaking research of Tipper Gore and her Parents Music Resource Center, the PMRC lovingly crafted “The Filthy Fifteen” for American parents to ensure that their children would only be exposed to the finest audio artistry the heavy metal genre (and somehow, also Satan) had to offer.  One of the bands included on that fateful list were the founders of black metal, VENOM (ironically, rated “O” … for “Obviously” …as in “Obviously, your kids should be listening to this!”).    Hailing from probably the fanciest, most upper crust sounding city in all of England, Newcastle upon Tyne’s 3-piece of evil VENOM came blasting out of the gates of hell with what would become the foundation for the black metal genre that would begin its ascent into heavy metal culture around the same time as thrash metal in the early 80’s, with a sound combining the rawness of Motorhead, the darkness of Sabbath, and the speed of thrash with an imagery reminiscent of KISS if they were actually satanists.    If Black Sabbath are ground zero for the formation of heavy metal as we know it, then VENOM is no doubt the Black Sabbath of the black metal genre. With a dark, detached creepiness that sounds like something recorded in an underground mausoleum, VENOM are the originators of extreme metal and were out in front, scaring the hell out of parents everywhere and delighting young and impressionable metalheads the world over.   Happy Halloween everyone!!! It’s time to celebrate spooky season the way we did back in the 80’s, by going through your kids trick-or-treat plunder and picking out all of that “good candy”.

“You can understand everything he says…he’s much more pronunced.”   With Diego Rapacchietti, the “Swisstalian” timekeeper who replaced original drummer Marky “Marquis” Edelmann behind the kit, both Ron Broder (Ron Royce) and Tommy Vetterli (Tommy T. Baron), known collectively as Swiss thrash kings CORONER, have returned with DISSONANCE THEORY, the first new studio album featuring brand new material from the progressive thrash trio in over 30 years and the album which already has thrash fans worldwide shouting proclamations of Album of the Year.   Released on 10/17/2025, DISSONANCE THEORY is easily the finest thrash album in decades and may quite easily take the crown as CORONER’s magnum opus, a master work of progressive, technical thrash tempered with unmatched riffs, majestic solos, and a brilliantly engineered sonic vengeance where the drums, bass, and guitars each sit perfectly within the mix. It’s one of those albums that continues to impress exponentially with each subsequent listen and is, without question, a masterpiece, and an absolute joy to listen to.   “Just when you think all the riffs have been written…NOPE!”  Remember that the word for this episode is “texture” and JOIN US as we celebrate CORONER’s crowning achievement in thrash greatness with the unpredictably precise complexity of tech prog thrash genius, DISSONANCE THEORY.

“That dude is Dracula, man…”   The entire month of October is Halloween. And you can’t do October without TYPE-O-NEGATIVE, as they are the official soundtrack to the month of Halloween.    Released August 20, 1996, OCTOBER RUST, their 4th studio album (or 3rd if you count “Origin of the Feces” as a “live” album, which we actually do, even though it’s technically not) is much more gothy, textured, and atmospheric than previous TYPE-O albums while still maintaining the same gothic, heavy, doom laden aesthetic of their previous albums, making it the perfect sonic representation of all things Halloween: vampires, werewolves, haunted houses, haunted relationships, hot bisexual goth girls who are into threesomes, bottles of red wine, and lonely forests bathed in the colorful, seasonal transformation that is autumn.   It's time to imagine Molly Ringwald dressed as a goth girl for Halloween as you feast your ears on the creepiest, evilest sounding keyboards in metal while summoning Bacchus (the god of wine and revelry and/or tits) to help prepare for this season’s “fistivities”.   Discover the actual definition of “zoanthropic paranoia”, find out what happens when you make a goth girl squirt, and learn about Peter Steele’s lesser known “nickname” when you JOIN US as we rrrrrrroll our R’s rrrrrrright on through creepy season with OCTOBER RUST.

“I didn’t do stink finger until sophomore year…”   Switzerland is known for a few things with holes in them, most notably their cheese (and quite possibly their chocolate). But the biggest hole Switzerland is known for (other than CERN) is the seemingly endless void between the last CORONER studio album (“Grin” in 1993) and their upcoming 2025 release “Dissonance Theory”, which makes the gap between Tool albums look like a couple of weeks by comparison.    As one of the most technically progressive, avant-garde thrash bands in the entirety of Metal, CORONER are the kings of odd time signatures, unusual chord shapes, and mathematically challenging riffs that set them apart from the rest of the pack, and we’re so glad they’re finally back!   Often called “the Rush of thrash metal”, most likely due to the incredible depth, musical complexity, and texture of music that a 3-piece band of their stature can deliver, CORONER doesn’t sound like anyone else in the thrash metal canon.    Discover the potentially dark traits shared by those with middle names who write in notebooks, understand the line of distinction between “a millionaire and a billionaire”, and find out why sex on Christmas Day ensures you’ll be celebrating birthdays “on the same day as Russell” when you JOIN US as we go INSIDE THE METAL with the best roadies Celtic Frost ever had, featuring Switzerland’s masters of techno thrash sorcery, CORONER.

Get ready for a Bunkerpoon ghost story regarding some paranormal activity captured during our recent Mastodon episode, find out what you’re NOT supposed to do when the red tide reaches the slippery shores of Snooch Gulch, remember that “Eerie Inhabitants 1988 thunder does not sound like 2025 thunder“ and JOIN US for CHRONICLES II: Part II – Off The Reservation with the BEASTIE BOYS and get ready to CHECK YOUR HEAD.

“In fairness, I guess if they didn’t have the make-up, what would they have? A different career?”   Released March 15, 1976, DESTROYER, the “iconic and mysterious” 4th studio album by KISS, was the first studio release after their breakthrough double live album ALIVE!, which chronicled their first 3 studio albums in a live concert setting and really brought the power and spectacle of the live KISS concert experience of the mid 1970’s to the masses.    Getting winded from tying your shoelaces is “the saddest thing about getting older” after coming to grips with the glaring realization that KISS just isn’t quite as awesome at middle age as it was upon hearing it for the first time in early childhood. But having said that, KISS was most definitely one hell of an exciting place to start one’s journey into the realm of metal.    We’re going to ask that you go ahead and lower any “Great Expectations” you may have had for this episode, because only a “fly by the seat of our balls kinda podcast” such as ours would dare to take on something like this.    Get ready for a “sobering moment”, remember that “Iconic” is the word of the episode, find out which Slayer album included “Fluoride Westone”, discover “how many people it takes to make KISS sound good”, and remember that “it’s nothing but 7’s” when you JOIN US for some “Rock and Roll Spiderman”  as we embark on our trip through CHRONICLES II with PART I: the 4th studio album by “the hottest band in the land”, DESTROYER.

“The look on his face is like a kid on Christmas morning getting everything that he never asked for from Santa…”   July 21,1987 marked the beginning of the GUNS N’ ROSES era of L.A. metal with APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION, the scorching debut album chock full of enough sleaze, swagger, and excess to put the boys in Motley Crue to shame.    If Slayer were the 80’s answer to 70’s Sabbath, then it’s not a stretch to say that G’N’R were the 80’s answer to 70’s Aerosmith, with a loudness that falls right in that “in between” phase of hard rock and heavy metal. Technically, “it’s not metal, but it kind of is…in a way”.   Discover “the worst part about getting older”, realize why overalls always translates to “good barbecue”, hear “the stoner thought of the day” and find out if “girls can tell the difference” when you JOIN US as we soak up some classic late 80’s decadence and debauchery with GUNS N’ ROSES and APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merchand kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can’t be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast   Show Notes: (00:01): “We gonna do shots?” / #trafficcircle #roundabout / “That’s gonna be good barbecue…stereotypes exist for a reason…”/ “Is it #KoreanBBQ?” / “All you gotta do is just change one letter on certain words and you can completely change the meaning of it…”/ “Demons are fat…everybody’s fat in Hell, bro…”/ ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised *** / “It’s like a peanut butter and banana sandwich…”/ “It was super appley…” / “The last time I fucked up a butt with an injection…the last time I ruined a butt…”   (06:46): ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST!!!*** / “That’s the shitty thing about getting older…”/ ***GIVE US A CALL AND VOICEMAIL US AT 980-666-8182!!!*** / #PissingPostASMR / #StonerThoughtOfTheDay / #RapNerdery / “I’ll show it to you if you wanna look at it…”/ #PatreonShoutOuts ***JOIN US ON PATREON AT patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast AND GET YOUR #METALNERDERYPODCAST T-SHIRT!!!***    (13:00): #TheDocket METAL NERDERY PODCAST PRESENTS:  GUNS N’ ROSES – APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION / “It was ’87…”/ Where were YOU when you first heard this?

“We can’t ever talk about this so let’s talk about not talking about it when we’re talking about it…” Released on July 14th, 1992, COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION, the 5th MEGADETH album (and the 2nd to feature “the classic lineup” of Dave Mustaine, David Ellefson, Marty Friedman, and Nick Menza) would become the follow up to “one of the most perfect thrash albums of all time”, featuring a more streamlined, simplified, straight forward approach which served as a sonic palette cleanser to the progressive thrash complexity of 1990’s masterpiece, Rust In Peace. Simply stated, COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION is complex in its simplicity. Even though this might be the most offensive episode we’ve ever made, we’d like to remind everyone that we’re still all about “rainbows and peaches” even though we’ve emphatically stated for the record that “we’re not gonna talk about it”.  Remember proper cell phone etiquette to avoid being bothersome to others, prepare yourself for “The Average Double-Team”, head on down to Dangol County for some “High Speed Dirt”, and last but not least, find out “how to get out of offending anybody” when you “go pick up some honkies” and JOIN US as we start the clock and begin our analysis of MEGADETH’s COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merchand kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can’t be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast   Show Notes: (00:01): “We’re not gonna talk about it…but you always wanna talk about it…” / “We can’t ever talk about this so let’s talk about not talking about it when we’re talking about it…”/ “Rainbows and peaches, dude…”/ #buttstuff / “It’s more peach-like in flavor…”/ #KoolAidMan / “Is she a #Redskin?” / “Is it the Washington Nationals?” (NOTE: It’s the Commanders.) / #RacistReflections and using your phone in public (where EVERYONE can hear your music, your conversations, etc.) / “So is it racist…?” / “Do you know where #honky comes from?” / “Why don’t we have better slurs?” / #beeroftheepisode / “Let’s go pick up some honkies and go out and do some stuff…” / ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised    (07:27): ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST!!!*** / #DreamReflections / “Has anybody caught the new #KingOfTheHill…?” / #RussellsReflectionsNostalgiaEdition / “He LEANS into it…”/ #onmicburp / “King of Hill…”/ #InMemoriam / “There’s some conspiracy…”/ “They’re selling their #voicerights to AI…”/ #DangolCounty / “Dude…the Average Double-team…that’s our new podcast…that’s this side of the table…”/ #TheAverageDoubleteam   (14:44): ***JOIN US on the Socials at #Facebook #Instagram #YouTube and #TikTok at #metalnerderypodcast and EMAIL US at metalnerdery@gmail.com and VOICEMAIL US at 980-666-8182!!!*** / ***PATREON US at patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast *** / #BunkerpoonRequestLine / #PatreonShoutOut / “We’ll do 3 solo episodes…kinda like the solo albums…”   (17:11): #TheDocket METAL NERDERY PODCAST PRESENTS: MEGADETH – COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION / “Can you believe it’s been 33 years!?” / July 14th, 1992 / #wisdomteeth and #drysockets / “I remember I had these tea leaves…”/ “When they pulled it out…it was purple…”/ “Do you hear that?

“When you thought it was over…it did kind of a slide down…and then he slid back up and back down again…and then he does it again…” August 8, 2006, marks the first SLAYER album in 16 years featuring Dave Lombardo behind the drum kit with CHRIST ILLUSION, their 10th studio album and their first since the release of God Hates Us All on 09/11/2001.  With the original classic lineup in place and artist Larry Carroll’s trademark macabre album art, CHRIST ILLUSION represents a true return to form for the thrash veterans, effectively picking up where 1990’s Seasons In The Abyss left off.Prepare to understand why the concept of “Uncanny Valley” has become exponentially creepier with the rise of artificial intelligence, discover which track is officially “the title track” and which one sounds like “a Taco Bell combo meal” for Slayer fans, realize that “Nickelback’s not that bad…they’re right up there with Creed” and get ready to enjoy some “sex noodles” when you JOIN US as we try to overcome our “Slayer Arrested Development (which is S.A.D.)” with CHRIST ILLUSION.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merchand kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can’t be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast Show Notes:   (00:01): “Me Grok, me know what things are!” / “Destroyer is like their Black Album…you should know all of this…”/ ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised *** / #tritoon / “We went to a tie up…”/ “Sounds like…sex noodles…”/ ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST IN 5D DIMENSIONS!!!*** / #poonboat / “Why not call the boat a #trypoon…?” / “You think that’s like the monster truck of the water?” / #ponpoon / #RussellsReflectionsBoatEdition / “That’s a LOT money, man!”   (06:26): PATREON SHOUT OUT!!! / ***Come JOIN US over on the #Patreon at patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast *** / “The mighty hail…”/ #JustInCaseASMR / #Shittah / #ActusReus RABID DOGS #localmetal #metalcore #deathcore / “Those aren’t Grok Dogs…”/ #EmberingEffigy will be playing at #Yonderways at #TheBlackStrap in Gainesville    (11:23): ***JOIN US on the social media at #Instagram #Facebook #YouTube and #TikTok, EMAIL US at metalnerdery@gmail.com and VOICEMAIL US at 980-666-8182!!!*** / “I have a little quick thing I wanted to show you…” / “I would say it but I can’t pronounce it…”/ “Hot little Angus…”/ “Apparently when girls talk about size, they’re more into the girth…”   (14:44): #TheDocket METAL NERDERY PODCAST Presents: SLAYER – CHRIST ILLUSION / The first album featuring the original #Slayer lineup since Seasons In The Abyss / Released August 8, 2006 / #LarryCarroll / “That dude is a DUDE, man…”/ “Interestingly enough…” / “OMG that’s amazing…when you have that spot that you can’t get to…”/ “Then we just gotta go back…we’ve changed over the past 6 years…”/ FLESH STORM / “…and we’re back!” / “When I delete it in post…”/ CATALYST / “When you thought it was over…it did kind of a slide down…and then he slid back up and back down again…”   (25:35): SKELETON CHRIST / “Thrashy and groovy…”/ “Slayer were one of the first…breakdown bands…”/ #GrammyWinner #BestMetalPerformance / EYES OF THE INSANE / #UncannyValley / “Isn’t it like A.I., where it’s almost human but you can tell it is not…?” / The definition of Uncanny Valley / “I am SO fucking tired…let’s just get this out there…”/ “Maybe it was an A.I. generated article…”   (35:00): JIHAD / #CBLE / “There’s an outro part that’s really creepy…”/ “Every time…I get so much boner…”/ “That was mainly written about the 2 towers…but not WTC7…”/ “It’s right over there…on a map, it’s like 6 inches that way…”/ “She frew on a big prane…”/ “That might

“It’s strange to think about a world without The Prince of Darkness…”  It all started on February 13, 1970, with the ominous sounds of chapel bells, thunder, and pouring rain, and it all ended with an emotionally charged, worldwide downpour of tears from fans across the planet on July 22, 2025, the day that OZZY OSBOURNE, The Prince Of Darkness, bade this world farewell and passed into eternity. Ozzy, for many metal heads, represents “the “beginning” of the heavy metal journey. With a “creepy and unsettling” voice that sounded like no one else before or after him, he was, for all intents and purposes, “the first and the last” of his kind in metal, helping to lay the foundations for the countless heavy metal subgenres that would follow and spawning legions of metal heads that would loyally follow him across multiple generations.  Get ready to “quit dick-docking around” for a little bit because it’s time to JOIN US as we “bless that man & bless that band” and pay tribute to the man who helped birth “the most powerful genre of music in the world” as we salute and bid a fond farewell to The Prince Of Darkness with OZZY OSBOURNE – IN MEMORIAM.

“Careful back there…”   Generally speaking, an artist’s DEBUT ALBUM will often be quite good, while their SOPHOMORE ALBUM, in contrast, will often be far more advanced, sophisticated, and light years better than the first, in terms of song writing and overall production. While this is more often than not the rule, there are some notable exceptions.   As with asking a parent with 2 kids “which one do you love more?”, sometimes the answer is obvious, and other times it’s “not even close”. And in the instances where dissenting opinions clashed, the resulting debate may have impacted the feelings of others “forevermore”.   It's time to “go get your mom” and bear witness to some “Gonz Bozonders” as we discuss the blockbuster movie magic behind “Shark Week” and prepare to “show no Morrissey” with regard to “butt scissoring” when you JOIN US as we try to determine whether various metal artist’s second albums are BETTER OR WORSE than their first.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merchand kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can’t be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast   Show Notes: (00:01): “23 lbs down, son…”/ “That’s a heart healthy #origami diet…”/ #semiglutide / “Every time I come, you’re like ‘that’s fine’…” / ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised *** / #RussellsTwanglifiedVocals / ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY FENG SHUI UNDERGROUND BUNKERPOON PODCAST!!!*** / “I’m getting feng shui’d with my Wang Chung…”/ #thisepisodesbeeroftheepisode / #ObiOneCanObi / “Oh it smells like green pee…”/ “The cover model on the upstairs magazine…”/ #starcrunch / #uhhhhkay   (06:00): ***PATREON SHOUT OUT!!!*** / ***COME AND JOIN US ON THE PATREON AT patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast *** / “It’s like two dudes butthole fucking each other…”/ #buttscissoring / ***EMAIL US AT metalnerdery@gmail.com and VOICEMAIL US AT 980-666-8182!!!*** / “It’ll probably be out before this episode…the LAST episode…”/ “Don’t choke on those nuts, bro…”/ “I’m fuckin’ trippin’ balls…”/ “You might wanna swallow first…”   (10:30): #RussellsReflectionsMovieEdition #Jaws / “That’s not Snowflake…”/ #sharkweek / “Every month is shark week for women…”/ “Oh, you mean like the #moonlanding…”/ “BTW, who owned #MarthasVinyard?”/ “Without men, women would never be mothers…”/ #Duel #StevenSpielberg / #BJAndTheBear #EveryWhichWayButLoose #AnyWhichWayYouCan / “I’m telling you…go get your mom…” / “These guys are assholes…”/ #spoiler / “So anyway, that was Steven Spielberg’s first attempt…”/ “So it’s like #TheShining vs The Shining…”/ “That was his 4th movie (Jaws)…”/ “Sorry, had a couple of beers…(too many)”/ #swallowit / “I know this sounds weird, but…”/ #GonzBozonders / “I might have felt a little weird down there…”   (23:23): “I forget what we’re doing…/ #TheDocket / METAL NERDERY PODCAST PRESENTS:  2ND ALBUMS THAT ARE BETTER (OR WORSE) THAN THE DEBUT ALBUMS / “They’re not all gonna be equal…is it better or is it worse?” / “Okay, I’m gonna make this real easy to start…”/ “What?” / Hell Awaits vs Show No Mercy / “How about Shout At The Devil vs Too Fast For Love?” / “I am so lost…exactly…”   (29:43): “Kreator…how about Kreator?” / “Violent…what is it?” / “It’s not that different…it’s not as memorable…”/ “Put on your 1983 hat…Ride The Lightning (was not even out yet) …”/ “I was gonna say DirtBox…”/ Black Sabbath vs Paranoid / “If we’re doing a #DeathMatch…”/ Van Halen or Van Halen II? / “This is effectively a Death Match between first and second albums…”/ #VanHalen YOU’RE NO GOOD (Van Halen II – 1979) / “Maybe Kerry King played bass on all the Van Halen albums…”   (38:28): “I do wanna go back

“There were some heroes and there were some zeroes…”   BACK TO THE BEGINNING, the final concert performance by the O.G. lineup of BLACK SABBATH featuring Bill Ward, Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, and Ozzy Osbourne (along with an all-star roster of top shelf rock & metal artists) was held at Villa Park in Aston, Birmingham, England on 05/07/2025 (that’s July 5th, 2025 for people in the United States) and raised nearly $200 Million for charity.    While BACK TO THE BEGINNING will go down in heavy metal history as “The Live Aid of Metal”, it also represents a significant turning point and an emotional marker for metal fans from all over the world who came to pay homage and bid a celebratory yet poignant farewell to the Founding Fathers of Heavy Metal and The Prince Of Darkness.   Ladies, prepare to comprehend why Pantera playing Sabbath songs at a Zeppelin tribute is as much a faux pas as “showing up to a funeral wearing a bridal gown”, gentlemen, understand how Slipknot’s Sid Wilson is an absolute genius when it comes to remembering landmark dates with that special someone, and as for everybody else, break out your assortment of relaxers and various modalities of twanglification and JOIN US as we celebrate Sabbath, Ozzy, and all things metal with our take on BACK TO THE BEGINNING.

“If you’ve got a whole room full of 10’s, that’s the 5…”   We’ve all been there. Every one of us have experienced an album where it was “almost perfect” front to back, yet there was that one song that blemished its perfection and brought it down a notch.  Granted, some songs may not fit relative to the context of an album and should have never been included to begin with, while others may have been played into the ground a quadrillion times to the point that even though it has become tiresome to listen to, “it’s not like it doesn’t belong” on the album.   Basically, the most pressing points to ponder when evaluating whether a song is “skippable” or simply should not exist are: “If you take this song off the album, does it make it a better album?” “If it’s 1980 and you’re wearing your jorts and your tank top and you’re at a Boone’s farm bonfire…is it a bad song?” “Is this the song that made this album worse…?”   Discover the most “prostate meltingly hot” thing a woman can wear, hear Beaker’s favorite song to do at karaoke after a long day on set at The Muppet Show, and prepare to get “T.B.R” when you JOIN US for the “hysteria” surrounding THE SONG THAT SHOULD NOT BE  as things get heated and hostile regarding GREAT METAL ALBUMS RUINED BY ONE SONG.    Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merchand kindly leave us a review and/or rating on your favorite Podcast app Follow us on the Socials: Facebook - Instagram - TikTok Email: metalnerdery@gmail.com Can’t be LOUD Enough Playlist on Spotify Metal Nerdery Munchies on YouTube @metalnerderypodcast Show Notes: (00:01): “…just the tip…” / “No panties, no undies…like Donald Duck” / #dreams / “Maybe Mick Jagger liked it black…” / “So you’re a #Beatles guy, huh?” / “Dude you are TBR: Twanglified Beyond Recognition…”/ ***WARNING: #listenerdiscretionisadvised *** / “After 2 doses of peanut butter, the black’s kinda weird…” / “Our latest Patreon was definitely irresponsible…we talked some real shit…that was just too much reality…”/ ***WELCOME BACK TO THE METAL NERDERY PODCAST IN THE FENG SHUI’D SUMMER SOLSTICE BUNKERPOON PLACE!!!*** / “Somewhere in the ether…”/ “I think we got rid of all the internal demons…” / ***”If you wanna hear what he’s referring to, JOIN US over on #Patreon at patreon.com/metalnerdery.com to find out!!!*** / “Don’t choke on those nuts, dude…”   (06:51): #nextlevel #SlayerOfTheEpisode / #mentalist / “Fingers in the butthole…the whole thing…”/ POSTMORTEM (Reign In Blood – 1986) / “She’s not old, dude…she’s our age…”/ #JenniferAnniston / “Funny makes a chick super-hot!” / “Here’s a hot look for the ladies…” / #prostatemeltinglyhot /    (12:18): #TheDocket / METAL NERDERY PODCAST PRESENTS: GREAT METAL ALBUMS RUINED BY 1 SONG (AKA: The Song That Should Not Be) / “We’ve gotta exorcise the demons, dude…”/ “Maybe it’s radio’s fault…” / #ACDC YOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG (Back In Black – 1980)  / “If it’s 1980 and you’re wearing your jorts and your tank top and you’re at a Boone’s farm bonfire…is it a bad song?” / #ICantGoBack / “Now it’s country…”   (17:52): “This is the first one I purchased with my own money…”/ “Your shutter speed’s a little slow…”/ #BlackSabbath CHANGES (Vol. 4 – 1972) /“You skip it because you feel unhappy and you feel so sad…”/ “You listen to as much of that as is appropriate to listen to before skipping…”/ “To stay on the Sabbath…”/ AM I GOING INSANE?
