@Kerrangpod Sterling work Steve. I’ve never missed a single episode. I’m surprised at how many of these articles I remembered from reading in my youth. I’ll be starting over again at episode 1 to fill the time of your hiatus. Merry Kerrismas!

From the start of 2024 I'm going to be putting this podcast on hiatus. Thats not to say that I wont be back at some point in the future, but for now I'm going to hold fire on the issues from 1997.

The last tour that Sepultura did with the original line up. I was at their "last gig" at Brixton & remember seeing the tension on stage. I have a feeling that fueled them on to put on an absolutely incredible show. That gig can be heard on the live album "Under A Pale Grey Sky".

The best of the Wildhearts. The album that the band didn't want you to buy.

"I met her Sunday, that was yesterday
The girl I knew from 1990
Her eyes are hazel, her name is Mable
I kissed her once and now I'm able to..."

Absolutely classic album from Goldfinger.

Yes, that is the legendary nightclub/stripclub owner Peter Stringfellow appearing in Kerrang! with 2/5 of Ugly Kid Joe. The plan was to get Whitfield Crane and Dave Fortman pissed & see what would occur. Crane turns up sober and in a bad mood & doesn't play ball.
