Maybe they'll even learn something along the way!

Key talking points - More line up changes that Guns N' Roses, forming a supergroup with all the same members as your normal band, the Snarehouse, every album needs a documentary, Kyle isn't feeling Lovely, the perils of name-checking your rhythm guitarist, a quick jump from disco to murder, Frank the Shank makes his debut and Rich loves Bowie's thrash phase.

And what better way to celebrate than to try something big, bold and potentially bad.... it's a live listen through of a brand new album!

Key talking points - Bono creates a Pixar classic, we discuss 2 albums that don't exist, rockstars acquire superpowers, Anthony Keidis is crowned Prom King '99, Kyle loses his mind at some 'Top 100' lists and Rich has trouble with his plosives.

But does it Hit So Hard or is it Awful? Key talking points - A very sneaky producer, an odd awards decision, some Smashing Pumpkins sounding songs written by Smashing Pumpkins, we discuss whether The Beatles came before Hole, Rich brings brain research into the chat and Kyle won't shut up about his "motherf***king kitchen".

Just like the year 2022 in a couple of weeks, we're heading into our third season, and what better way to do it than discuss possibly the hardest follow-up album ever made. Key talking points - Swedes and their politics, recording in a dentist's office, some award winning muddy tree people, don't ever tell Rage they should do what you tell them, Rich's apathetic fandom is finally questioned and Kyle talks calendars.

To celebrate, we're adding 3 parts self indulgence to 2 parts hilarity and putting it in a blender for a whopping 73 minutes! Key talking points - A time travelling Metallica, some wrong opinions all round, some awards that you wouldn't want to accept, "one of every Chris", some tactical voting, Rich puts his memory to the test and Kyle almost forgets how audio-only media works.  Email - chewthemetal@gmail.com Twitter/Instagram - @ChewTheMetal Chew The Metal Playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0vedrYyJ3GrLsjINczQfcc?si=25da4f62745b4592 Support the artist by buying their music here - (find link Apple Music) Theme by Kyle Gormley Logo by Jessica Martin Thu, 28 Jul 2022 02:00:40 +0000 https://anchor.fm/s/2749a378/podcast/play/55335428/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2022-6-26%2F63777151-8ef7-0ae1-7c7c-96389d35e82d.mp3 https://anchor.fm/s/2749a378/podcast/play/54917794/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2022-6-16%2F1f5e25d4-306e-4cbc-cd09-f6a3dd0f4cae.mp3 This week, we're listening to the final album of a very short lived noughties supergroup. Chris Cornell is in the band, so we all know what Kyle thinks. But what will Rich have to say and will it make Kyle cry? Key talking points - A body or a bomb, a new master mixer enters the fray, Google Earth announcements, a sightless track listing, lots of 'too short' verses, Rich doesn't know how he knows some songs, Brendan O'Brien doesn't appreciate duck solos, Kyle tries to become Tom Morello's guitar (a lot) and that feeling you get when you almost forget to write your best song.

So how will we feel over 20 years later? Have the good times gone? Is it too bad? Will we say never again? Ok, I'll stop now..... Key talking points - The nun who introduced us to Nickelback, a tangent that takes us to infinity and beyond, some self explanatory lyrics, a computer called C.H.A.D, an ode to a baker, Rolling Stone get in under the wire, Rich does a casual Covid test and Kyle sings along to every single song.

Nice to see you and sorry for the delay between episodes. We're making up for lost time though by talking about not one, but fifteen different artists on Slash's self titled debut. Key talking points - Maybe too much Stranger Things chat, the Boyzone timewarp, Slash doesn't play the bass, Rich turns into a helicopter for a second, a confusing Promise, Dave Grohl forgets to start singing, some lyrics ripped straight from the dictionary, Myles Kennedy saves the day and Kyle nearly breaks his mic when we pick next week's album.
