We begin a new series this week with a look at some classic rock songs in famous movies and television shows; some of which have redefined the mood and feel of the song we hear!

Dave Kinchen is throwing our way thoughts on his classic #PaulStanley / #KISS interview! Plus, a fascinating new documentary on #Woodstock, and our reaction to the great new #RobertPlant podcast. Enjoy!

Welcome to the #4thOfJuly week and weekend showcase! We’ve got a cool cell phone video showing #PaulMcCartney and #Aerosmith’s #StevenTyler doing a #Beatles classic in #LasVegas. Also, would you believe how much classic rock still registers on the #Billboard200?! You may be quite surprised! And in our second half of the show, Dave Kinchen takes us back to the time he jammed with #TedNugent. Enjoy and happy birthday #America!

Lots of news on this show. From former #GunsNRoses drummer #StevenAdler suffering what’s being called an accidental stab injury, to #DavidGilmour’s #BlackStrat fetching nearly $5 million for a climate change fundraiser. Also, we look at #PeterGabriel’s collaborations on his early solo albums.

Welcome to a special edition of the podcast where Dave Kinchen plays us two of his exclusive interviews with members of #GretaVanFleet. Hear how the band got started and how they are handling their success in their own words!

How wonderful it is to hear from #Megadeth leader #DaveMustaine! He thanks fans for their support in a new video, as he gets treated for throat cancer. Also, #SammyHagar says no #VanHalen reunion (again). We have Dave Kinchen’s exclusive interview with Hagar. Plus, you wouldn’t believe how many classic rockers collaborated with or played for the Queen of Soul, #ArethaFranklin during her lifetime. We take a look at some surprising names. Finally, a tribute to legendary rock pioneer and trumpeter #DaveBartholomew, who has died after 100 rich years on Earth.

#MickJagger looks great as the #RollingStones kick off their rescheduled #NoFilter tour across America. Also, we’re tracking the latest developments in the #UniversalMusicGroup fire controversy which now involves a $100 million lawsuit filed by several major artists, after the #NewYorkTimes reported the fire destroyed scores more master music tapes than originally thought.

It’s a show LOADED with rock news so we adjusted to make room! #MickFleetwood says he regrets much of #FleetwoodMac’s drama going public over the years, (even though it inspired major hit songs). Is #EddieVanHalen ok? Music news websites are abuzz with questions. #LedZeppelin’s #HousesOfTheHoly artwork gets banned on #Facebook. #MichaelAnthony confirms a #VanHalen reunion is DOA. There’s a “new” #FreddieMercury song out, and Dr. #BrianMay talks about the differences in working with #AdamLambert and #PaulRodgers.

In a show exclusive, we phone with #JudasPriest founding guitarist #KKDowning from across the pond to get his thoughts on the subliminal message trial in 1990, where the band was accused of encouraging the suicides of two men with their music.

The metal world is deeply shaken with word that #Megadeth’s #DaveMustaine has throat cancer. We pay tribute to one of rock’s pioneers. Also, continuing our series on alleged hidden messages in popular rock songs with a look at the conspiracy theories surrounding #PaulMcCartney and the #Beatles for decades.

It’s an Extended Play weekend edition of the show, where we are following a fiery Twitter feud between guitarist #NilsLofgren and #TheMooch, #President #DonaldTrump’s former #WhiteHouse communications director. Also, #TomMorello chucks a fan’s cell phone, and previewing Monday’s show on the #PaulIsDead #Beatles urban legend that will forever have fans talking no matter how ridiculous it is. Enjoy and see you Monday!

We are following a huge music story out of #NewYorkTimes Magazine. Thousands upon thousands of master recordings were lost in a fire that was worse than first thought. #Eagles, #EricClapton and #REM recordings were reportedly impacted, along with scores more. We look at what it means for classic rock.

#LedZeppelin will be dealing with attorneys once again as judges take another look at the #StairwayToHeaven copyright case. Also, we continue our talk about #Genesis in the wake of #PhilCollins reuniting with #MikeRutherford in #Europe a few days ago. We examine a documentary that captures what happened the last time the band reconvened...and it was tense!

This became an unofficial #Genesis fan podcast from the moment Dave Kinchen saw video of #PhilCollins and #MikeRutherford reuniting in Europe to play #FollowYouFollowMe. Rutherford’s #Mike+TheMechanics is supporting #Collins on his solo tour, but this was the first time the two played together publicly since the last Genesis show on the 2007 reunion tour. So what happens now? We talk about it! Also, #WolfgangVanHalen will play the tubs for #Sevendust guitarist #ClintLowery’s upcoming solo album. So...where does that leave things with #VanHalen? Who knows, but it’s fun to talk about!

Happy 50th to us...and to you! We are currently celebrating our 50th show. Wow time has flown by, and we’re just getting started! Enjoy this “best of” compilation of Dave Kinchen’s rock interviews and our creative tributes to some of the greatest songs in our time!

We continue our look at iconic albums with analysis of #OnceUponATime by #SimpleMinds. How did the band handle success and creativity while riding high on "Don't You (Forget About Me)" from #TheBreakfastClub soundtrack? We have an exclusive Dave Kinchen interview with guitarist #CharlieBurchill to explain! But first, could #RobHalford of #JudasPriest play for British football after the cell phone kick seen around the world?!

On this heavy rainy day show, Dave Kinchen looks at a new interview with former Police drummer #StewartCopeland in which he says his former bandmates actually like each other, despite what many have thought over the years. Also, the bitterness heats up in a growing family dispute over the #TomPetty estate. Could Petty’s face really be coming to your next salad dressing?

On this show, #DaveKinchen talks about some of the change the rock world has seen in recent years. From the deaths of iconic stars, to “reunions” that never seem to be such. Dave looks at how it impacts the newer generation of rock fans.

The world is listening to our EXCLUSIVE interview with founding #JudasPriest guitarist #KKDowning. Now, the band’s management weighs in by sending us their take and fans of the band react.
