Description

As a musical genre, heavy metal (and all it's sub-genres) has only existed for 50 years, but in that time there have been a great many happenings that we have collectively forgotten. In this podcast Nik Cameron and Duncan Evans will be going through albums, concerts, etc in a vain glorious attempt to remember it all. We contextualize the subject and then we take it track by track. In the end, we'll tell you if you should spin it or bin it.

DMA 231: "Re-Licked" by James Williamson (of The Stooges)

2026/04/13

What happens when a guitarist hoards the demos and doesn't want to record them with the old singer? Well, what if that happened and his name IS NOT Vinnie Vincent? James Williamson re-recorded and released the lost album by Iggy and the Stooges by assembling everybody from the Ready To Die lineup... Except Iggy.

DMA 230: "New Tattoo" by Motley Crue

2026/04/06

In the 80's, nearly everything was coming up Motley Crue , but then the 90's happened. And it all started going downhill, a poorly received singer swap, a flubbed reunion, and a double flubbed record. What could go wrong next? Well, Tommy Lee left the band. See what happens next as Nik and Duncan tuck in.

DMA 229: "Point Blank" by Nailbomb

2026/03/25

2026/03/09

The world of hit records is a harsh one. Roger Waters himself said they were leaning on the awesome trade name of Pink Floyd.

Check out the Velvet Underground album minus all original members.

DMA 226: "Speed Metal Symphony" by Cacophony Featuring Marty Friedman and Jason Becker

2026/03/02

In 1986, two future legends joined forces with some kids from the neighborhood. In all seriousness, it's really cool to be able to look back onto a band like this where they are about to blow up, but with other acts. Join Nik and Duncan in seeing if we should spin it or bin it. Duncan has also dropped his latest single. Check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/track/5L3OcpXzmJkwk2TC8NvZl0
