Rock Of Nations With Dave Kinchen

Dave Kinchen is determined to dig out his very old interview with first #Beatles drummer #PeteBest. Now he just needs a VCR. Who has those anymore?! More significantly, #JudasPriest announces the first show for their upcoming 50th anniversary tour, and more than 100 artists back #LedZeppelin as #StairwayToHeaven goes through the courts again.

It’s a loaded show friends! First off, #Tool finally has its entire catalog on #Spotify and other streaming services, and just weeks before their long long long-awaited new record. Also, #Gibson outrages musicians by suddenly crushing scores of #Firebirds, and we review #IronMaiden’s stop in #Philly. Saving the most fun for last though...we found some killer classic rock mashups on #YouTube and give them a listen. Enjoy our show!

At last! The time is upon us mates! #IronMaiden is barnstorming across the #UnitedStates with their over-the-top #LegacyOfTheBeast world tour which is the biggest production they’ve had, according to members of the band. We celebrate with a look back at the 20 years since singer #BruceDickinson and guitarist #AdrianSmith rejoined the band.

We talk the #Blondie and #ElvisCostello shows at the #XPoNentialFest in #NewJersey. Both were fantastic! #Blondie in particular prompted us to ask the question: how many original or classic band members are needed for a long time group to have credibility ? (they certainly do btw). Also, Dave Kinchen previews #IronMaiden’s show this week.

We talk about that reported time #RollingStones drummer #CharlieWatts punched #MickJagger! But first, a full review of their #NoFilter tour stop in #Philadelphia. Also, some great classic rock in #QuentinTarantino’s Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood.

We celebrate the #RollingStones #NoFilter tour coming to #Philadelphia with a look at the band’s legendary hits, plus regular rock news involving #BruceSpringsteen and #Queensryche.

It’s a loaded show to kick off the week! Dave Kinchen is pumped to see the #RollingStones for the first time ever. Speaking of the Stones, #RonnieWood has a new solo album and video doc coming up. Also, #Tool gives us a clue on their new album with a new logo released on their social media pages. That and much more!

Are you just as addicted to the #FaceApp as we are?! We conducted an experiment to see how close the aging effect works on some of our favorite rockers. Also, the 50th anniversary of the moon landing is honored by #Queen on #DrBrianMay’s birthday. And, what would happen if #Journey reunited with #StevePerry? Finally, we remember #ChrisCornell on his birthday, and #ChesterBennington two years after both left us way too soon.

There’s news about a heavyweight producer working on #GretaVanFleet’s new album! Greg Kurstin will now turn the knobs for the Michigan-natives having already worked with #FooFighters, #PaulMcCartney and #Adele among others. Also, we have our ten best rock songs with distinct piano / keyboard riffs. Enjoy!

We bring you Part 2 of Dave Kinchen’s interview with legendary #Hooters drummer #DavidUosikkinen who talks about his #InThePocket music series. Also, a replay of Part 1 where he talks about preforming at #LiveAid in 1985.

Welcome to a special edition of the program where we remember #LiveAid which took place 34 years ago, from the date of this broadcast. Joining us is legendary #Hooters drummer #David Uosikkinen who played the #Philadelphia leg of the historic music event.

Grudges and bad blood eventually thaw out after all, (well sort of!) That’s what happened when the #Eagles released #HellFreezesOver 25 years ago. We look back on some of the classics they performed live and the new tunes that were included on this album.

Former #JudasPriest axeman #KKDowning will join former Manowar guitarist #RossTheBoss on stage at the #UK’s #Bloodstock metal festival in August. Also, #SammyHagar talks about his friendship with #MichaelAnthony in a new interview and we continue with our series on great classic rock songs in great movies. Enjoy!

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.
