DBG Times: July Edition - Ep676

Decibel Geek Podcast

Show Notes

We’re back with another edition of DBG Times, covering the rockers we lost, milestone album anniversaries, and a packed slate of new releases.

In Rockstar Deathdays, we remember Jim Morrison, Jeff LaBar, Gary Corbett, Dick Wagner, Wayne Charvel, Jennifer Finch, and the legendary Ozzy Osbourne.

This month’s album anniversaries cover an enormous range of rock history. We look back at Heart’s Beautiful Broken, Billy Talent’s Afraid of Heights, the hard-rock detour of Chrome Division, and the long-awaited New York Dolls comeback album One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This.

We also revisit Judas Priest’s controversial Ripper Owens era with Demolition, the internal turmoil surrounding the Black Crowes’ Three Snakes and One Charm, and Alice Cooper’s star-studded Hey Stoopid.

Other anniversaries include the killer Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey soundtrack, David Lee Roth’s supergroup debut Eat ’Em and Smile, Motörhead’s Orgasmatron, Def Leppard’s breakthrough-building High ’n’ Dry, the Ramones’ conflicted Pleasant Dreams, Funkadelic’s dark and groundbreaking Maggot Brain, and the heavy Welsh debut from Budgie.

We wrap things up with July’s new releases, including fresh music from Deep Purple, the Rolling Stones, Smoking Snakes, Tesla, Coven Japan, Zan/Cody, Five Finger Death Punch, and Sinner’s twenty-first and final studio album.

It’s another trip through rock history, loaded with stories, arguments, memories, and plenty of albums worth revisiting.

We hope you enjoy DBG Times for July and SHARE with a friend.
