S2 E2: GUNS N ROSES - APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION

01/24/24 • 30 min

This band needs no introduction. If you've never heard of them please come out from whatever rock you have been living under. Appetite For Destruction, the debut album from Guns and Roses, released in the summer of 1987 to rocky reviews. MTV didn't want to play their videos and music store refused to display their album due to the controversial cover art work. However, after a tweak to the cover and a push to get a little playtime on MTV by the next year the album was not only doing well, it was #1. Appetite For Destruction would go on to sell 30 million records worldwide.

S2 E1: GREEN DAY - DOOKIE (LONGVIEW)

Green Day did in 1994 what most punk bands only wish they could have done (the wishes they kept in their hearts for fear of being called a wanna be sell out), they hit the mainstream with a veracity like no other punk band before them. From music videos on MTV to mud slinging fights at Woodstock '94, this band may have been at the right place at the right time, but the conversations they helped bring to the mainstream may have been their biggest contribution.

S2 E3: TOM MACDONALD - WITHDRAWALS

Tom MacDonald took the internet by storm several years ago by triggering every sensibilty known to liberals. He calls girls girls. He calls boys boys. Crazy, I know. But whether you are a hardcore blue haired liberal or a gun waving, monster truck driving right winger or somewhere in between (if that's possible these days), one song that we may all get to put our protest signs down to listen to together is Withdrawals. Addiction doesn't care about political or socioeconomic status. It's only goal is to destroy. If you've ever made a decision to turn your back on addiction you know full well that it does not give you up that easily. And if we are being completely honest we don't give up the addiction that easily either. "Talk about pitfalls, Surrounded by brick walls, This is what kids call, Withdrawals" -Tom MacDonald
