Podcast#: 81 - New
Can new school guys re-create the magic of hard rock and bring it back to the mainstream? Join Genghis and Ragman as the discuss this new welcomed movement of classic hard rock. Are bands like Pappa Roach, Buckcherry and Endeverafter the new versions of Motley Crue, Ratt and Mr. Big? Tune in to find out. (Note: Shortly after this podcast was recorded, the boys were enlightened (Thanks Kat Daddy) of the Mr. Big reunion. Keep checking back, for a new one on one with Eric Martin.) Next the boys pulled up a grand piano and had a heart to heart with keyboard extraordinaire Jens Johansson. Jens discusses the new Stratovarius as well as his past endeavors.

Speaking of contributions I just read the following at www.melodicrock.com:
KROKUS TURN BACK THE CLOCK:
“After 25 years hiatus of the originals, Krokus is totally committed to write and produce an album that seamlessly fits into the groove of their work of the early eighties (Metal Rendez-Vous. Hardware, One Vice, Headhunter). They feel they owe this to their faithful fan base.

Thanks also for the Kudos……reason I put my name in my cyber world name is I had just Snake65 on MelodicRock.com since it started. A few years back he got hacked and someone made Snake56 and was starting all kinds of S%^t. So I added the Eric to know the difference. As far as beer goes if you are ever in NY we can hook up and go to Garden City NY to a place called Waterzooi (think its spelled like that). All they serve is Belgium Beer!
