Machine Head Retrospective (Part 3): In Defense Of The Burning Red - RPC Jukebox #11
Previously on RPC Jukebox, Captain Kaye and Nick arrived at the second album in their series on the legendary rock band, Machine Head, and sung its praises. And now... the controversial episode!
How’s it going, fellow Renegades? It’s THE DIRECTOR back once again, as we continue our big chug down the Machine Head road as Captain Kaye and Nick are trucking ahead to their third studio album. And… it’s kind of an interesting one this time around. Usually, the big worry is that the second album is the one that a lot of people are more mixed on because… well, it’s an all too common issue: musicians spend a long time trying to build up their introductions, that when they’re given a second first impression, they either go through stuff they rejected for their debut, or they just jump into it trying to strike while the iron is hot.
Machine Head, however, still had some BANGERS on their last album. But when it came to the third album, it’s had a less than stellar reputation… and a large part of that might be due to the content involved. They came back cruder, ruder, and way more risque than before. Not only that, but nu-metal was just starting to rise as a sub-genre in the late 90’s (and let’s face it, Staind didn’t do people any favors. It was an album seemingly released at the wrong place at the wrong time.
So what happens when you have a band that’s not afraid to get dirty at their most controversial, in a time where what they were trying to do was becoming oversaturated by people trying to do what they did?
Well… you’ll have to listen to the podcast to find out!
That’ll do it for this episode! Special thanks to Jacob for editing the audio! Keep a weather eye on the horizon, as a new podcast’ll rise like a phoenix very soon…
The Dirt: A Motley Crue Retrospective is back on Renegade Jukebox. This time Nick & Mike cover one of the albums they've ever made, Theatre Of Pain. Yeah that joke is played out, but it's going to get more plays than this album will. Listen to find out why!
The first Why We Love This Band of the year, and one in development for a long time! Nick and Mike are here to do an episode of Belgian death metal horror geeks Aborted. And the timing couldn’t be better with dropping their new album Vault Of Horrors. But obviously, they go over the entire catalog and how amazing their merch is. Also why they haven’t done a tour with Cannibal Corpse yet.
In this episode, Mike and Nick discuss the first album from Job for a Cowboy in 10 years, Moon Healer!
In this episode, Mike and Nick continue their journey through the discography of Motley Crüe, from the perspective of two metalheads who haven't heard the majority of their albums in full. They travel back to 1983 to discuss the band's 2nd studio album, Shout at the Devil!
Renegade Jukebox is back with another retrospective series. This time, instead of 1 mega star in Limp Bizkit, Nick and Mike are making one on 4 big cults of personality in the world of heavy metal. This series will go through each album by Motley Crue, from the perspective of two metalheads who haven't heard the majority of their albums in full. We begin with their 1981 debut, Too Fast For Love.
In this episode, Mike, Brock, and Bri are joined by former members Keona and Jacob for old times' sake. Buckle up, because there are no rails on this train!
On this episode of Why We Love This Band, remember when My Space deathcore took the world by storm? Well, Job For A Cowboy would rather you didn't (and we'd tend to agree). So Nick & Mike decide to mainly cover their 4 studio albums and why they've aged like fine expertly crafted death metal wine! And get some jabs in at Blue Ridge Rock Festival on the process!
Prepare yourself for a Dethpocalypse as Captain Kaye and the Super Saiyan Death Metal God return for another episode of the Renegade Jukebox! This time, our metalhead duo turn their critical eyes upon the latest album from the stars of Metalocalypse, Dethklok's Dethalbum IV! Raise your fists up and celebrate with us, Renegades!
In this episode, Captain Kaye and the Animation Guru are joined by the Super Saiyan Death Metal God, Nick, to discuss the Metalocalypse direct to video movie Army of the Doomstar!
Do you love rockin' guitar riffs? Do you love heavy metal? Do you love adult animation? Then step right up, because Captain Kaye and the Super Saiyan Death Metal God have you covered with volume 2 of Why We Love This Band, featuring the incredible musical stylings of Dethklok, stars of the Adult Swim animated series, Metalocalypse! Mike and Nick take us through the band's history, their favorite albums and songs, and have fun with a certain sound effect through this episode! Enjoy, my fellow metalheads!
