Machine Head Retrospective (Part 6): A Metal Masterpiece - RPC Jukebox #14
Last time, on Renegade Jukebox, Captain Kaye and Nick covered Machine Head's big comeback album after a disappointing and reviled predecessor, which launched their careers to bigger and broader heights! And now... they talk The Blackening, AKA... a metal masterpiece!
How’s it going, fellow Renegades? TIS I! THE DIRECTOR. And we’re just rolling on forward in our Machine Head retrospective, and boy, do we have an interesting stop for this week’s show.
If you recall, last time, the boys from Machine Head definitely had their work cut out for them going forward, because they came back from one of the biggest bombs of their whole career with their last album: Through the Ashes of Empires. And they certainly rose through the ashes of Supercharger. They suddenly had good will back after leaning a bit too hard into arguably their more negative traits, and even scored a record deal in America!
So where do you go after reaching such dizzying highs after a terrifying low? Well… if you’ve read the title, and I know I have (EDITOR’S NOTE: I did write it, after all)… you make probably one of the best metal albums of all time.
But don’t take my word for it, listen to the Captain and Nick talk about it for yourselves!
That’ll do it for this episode! Special thanks to Jacob for editing this episode! Keep a zippo lighter raised, as you’ll see an encore of a podcast coming your way very… 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!
