Machine Head Retrospective (Part 4): Supercharger - RPC Jukebox #12
Previously on RPC Jukebox, Captain Kaye and Nick touched down at the third album in their series on Machine Head, and gave it the benefit of the doubt. And now... they get SUPERCHARGED about Supercharger!
How’s it going, fellow Renegades? THE DIRECTOR is back to bring you guys the most rockin’ podcast we’ve got this side of the Renegade Pop Culture Website!
And man, do Captain Kaye and Nick got a doozy of an episode for you guys. Through everything, they’ve been surprisingly upbeat and positive when it comes to Machine Head’s career. They acknowledged their second album doesn’t match the Sophomore slump, and were even kind to their third album which doesn’t have as many fans.
But what will it take for them to get angry? What would it take for them to go at the band like a Bulldozer?
Well, spoiler alert… 9/11 is involved. BUT, they go ahead and dive into what is considered the biggest failure of their whole discography… commercially, and critically. Listen, and hear the decimation of this album crash all around you!
That’ll do it for this episode! Special thanks to Jacob for editing this episode! Slip out your zippo lighter and hold it high, because an encore of a podcast could be coming your way very… very soon.
Why We Love This Band returns, and who's on the docket this time? A band perfectly meant for this series, Lamb Of God. Arguably the most consistent catalog in heavy metal, Lamb Of God have been dropping classic albums for almost 3 decades now. So of course, Nick & Mike had to do an episode on them.
On this episode of Renegade Jukebox, guess who's back? No it's not the Rap God. It's Slim Shady! Eminem is bringing Shady back for one more offensive and blood-soaked hoorah. How does it stack up to his legendary back catalog? Have a listen and find out.
Another Why We Love This Band episode? You know Nick and Mike wouldn't put something like this together for no reason. No, today, July 8th is the 20th anniversary of Metallica's documentary Some Kind Of Monster. And since they're talking about the biggest metal band of all time, they figured why not talk about their back catalog, the subject of this notorious documentary St. Anger, and what happened afterwards.
In the ninth and final(?) episode of The Dirt: A Motley Crue Retrospective, Mike and Nick have reached the Crue's last album, Saints of Los Angeles! It's the 45th episode of the Renegade Jukebox and the finale of one of our most well-received miniseries! Enjoy!
Nick & Mike are back with another episode of The Dirt: A Motley Crue Retrospective. And if you're bored listening to this? Well, we don't blame you because that's how they felt listening to New Tattoo. Listen to find out why, or go take a nap.
Nick & Mike are back with another episode of The Dirt: A Motley Crue Retrospective. This time with another notorious one, Generation Swine. Does it live up to it’s reputation. Short answer if you watch Todd In The Shadows is “Obviously!” But why is it that much of a mess? Listen and find out.
In this episode, Mike and Nick enter what was at the time a brand new era for the band. Changing both their lineup and their sound, Motley Crue's self titled album is said to be one of the most notorious records in Heavy Metal history. But how does it hold up by today's standards? Tune in to find out!
In this episode of The Dirt, Mike and Nick close out the band's classic era with what many believe to be their crowning achievement. But how does it hold up today? Tune in to find out!
In this episode, Mike and Nick reach the almost halfway point of Motley Crüe's discography. This time, they discuss band's 4th studio album, 1987's Girls, Girls, Girls! How does this compare to their last record? You'll have to tune in to find out!
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!
