Decibel Geek Podcast

Every October, rock fans get subjected to the same tired playlist of novelty tunes, radio hits, and predictable party tracks. We love Halloween as much as anyone, but this year, we decided to dig deep for heavy songs that pack real punch and dark attitude.

Welcome to Spooky Tunes.

In this special episode, we go head-to-head spanning two legendary decades of hard rock and heavy metal—running year by year from 1970 straight through 1989. Twenty straight years of heavy riffs, dark themes, and pure volume.

We go year by year, pulling out personal favorites, deep cuts, and sinister tracks from the bands that built the genre:

Chris’s Picks: Bringing killer tracks and heavy favorites from Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, KISS, Judas Priest, AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Venom, Slayer, King Diamond, Metallica, and W.A.S.P.

Aaron’s Picks: Countering with awesome cuts and underground gems from Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Blue Öyster Cult, Budgie, KISS, Ramones, Judas Priest, Sammy Hagar, Ozzy Osbourne, Thin Lizzy, Iron Maiden, Mötley Crüe, Twisted Sister, Trouble, Slayer, Metallica, Saint Vitus, and Metal Church.

Grab your headphones, dim the lights, and crank the volume. This special is officially Certified Spookylicious.

We hope you enjoy Spooky Tunes and SHARE with a friend!

We're back for another edition of Geekwire! Here's what we're discussing this week:

We read between the lines of Roger’s recent comments to break down whether Queen + Adam Lambert has quietly run its course and what it signals for the band's touring future.

We react to the recent news of Ian Hill retiring as the longest running member of Judas Priest, his replacement, and his athleticism.

Mike Love of the Beach Boys appeared very frail at their recent performance in Nashville. We react to it as well as bandleader John Stamos’ (yes, uncle Jesse) comments on the situation.

Aerosmith is headlining a stacked lineup of “friends” for a two-night stand at the Hollywood Bowl. We look over the lineup and react.

We take a quick look at the Record Store Day releases and discuss the recent rise in CD sales.

The Dead Daisies have tapped Kelly Hansen as their new front man. We discuss him getting the sweetest gig in the business these days.

Quiet Riot has captured the rock world with new lead singer John Torra. We give our thoughts on the situation and what it could mean for the band’s future.

Metallica wowed Vegas audiences at the premiere of their Life Burns Faster residency at The Sphere. Some incredible visuals.

If you’re a High Roller rock/gear collector, you can own a piece of Rick Nielsen history in a current auction. We go over some of the more interesting items.

Primer 55 made a surprise appearance on TNA wrestling on their tour stop in San Antonio and our friend and awesome photographer Voltage Junkie was right in the middle of things.

The guys over at Hair Metal Chaos make some predictions on the 2027 concert season that may include a Poison return and the unveiling of a new singer for Skid Row. We give our thoughts. .

Zinny Zan, while discussing his new Zan/Cody project, dropped a bombshell involving a new Tim Skold/Harry K. Cody Shotgun Messiah album. What could lie ahead?

Beat the Geek is back! In this edition, we have three action-packed rounds of trivia and rock chat:

Round 1: Chris vs. Ray Coon (Dawn of the Rising)

Round 2: Aaron vs. Rik Fox (W.A.S.P., Steeler, Sin)

Round 3: Chris vs. Richie Rivera (Janet Gardner band)

Along with the competition, we get updates on Ray’s Josie Independent Music Award nomination, Rik’s upcoming re-releases, and Richie’s solo album and tour plans.

Did Chris live up to his status or did Ray mop the floor with him? Can Aaron defeat the encyclopedic musical knowledge of Rik Fox? Will Richie give Chris the slapdown in his round?

You’ll have to listen to find out!
