| 4/22/26 |  Geekwire Week of 04.22.26 - Ep667 | GeekWire 04.22.26 is packed with the usual mix of rock drama, reunion talk, tour news, and a few curveballs. This week we’re covering Ted Poley walking back his Sebastian Bach rant, new Slayer anniversary shows, Billy Corgan’s latest NWA move, KISS adding more live activity in Vegas, Alice Cooper hitting the road with a new guitarist, and more from the worlds of Poison, Iron Maiden, Accept, Motörhead, Blue Murder, and beyond.

Stories covered in this episode: Ted Poley takes the blame and says he regrets publicly going off on Sebastian Bach Slayer announces California and Minnesota shows celebrating 40 years of Reign In Blood Kyle Thomas says arguing over Pantera’s connection to Exhorder is pointless Billy Corgan lands a major TV deal for the National Wrestling Alliance Joel Hoekstra joins Stephen Pearcy’s solo band for the 2026 tour David Reece says he’d love to take part in Accept’s 50th anniversary activity Phil Campbell’s sons will honor their late father at this year’s Hella Rock Festival Iron Maiden will not attend the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction due to touring commitments in Australia KISS will perform two unmasked shows as part of the 2026 KISS Kruise: Landlocked in Vegas Alice Cooper launches his spring 2026 U.S. tour with new guitarist Anna Cara T3RMINAL says fans will be surprised by a sound that doesn’t resemble Tesla, W.A.S.P., or Saliva Steve Brown says he believes he can help Jon Bon Jovi get his voice into shape for a 2026 tour Bret Michaels says 2027 could be the right time for a Poison reunion Rikki Rockett announces Rockett Mafia shows celebrating 40 years of Look What The Cat Dragged In Carmine Appice wants to record a Blue Murder tribute project with guest musicians Ace Frehley bandmate Ryan Spencer Cook defends the decision to celebrate a late KISS legend’s legacy A new generation is reviving the iPod for distraction-free listening We hope you enjoy Geekwire and SHARE with your friends!

| 4/17/26 |  Satanic Panic - Ep666 | This week we dive into one of rock’s most hysterical and revealing cultural flashpoints: the Satanic Panic. From Robert Johnson crossroads mythology and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins to Black Sabbath, KISS, Iron Maiden, Ozzy, Slayer, and beyond, we trace how devil imagery, shock rock, media fearmongering, church protests, and moral crusades helped turn hard rock and metal into public enemy number one. We get into the Peters Brothers and the anti-rock movement, KISS concert protests, the PMRC hearing, the Filthy Fifteen, Richard Ramirez and AC/DC, the Judas Priest backmasking trial, Norwegian black metal church burnings, and the later scapegoating of Marilyn Manson after Columbine. We also follow the thread into more modern acts like Ghost, The Pretty Reckless, and Twin Temple, showing how Satanic imagery evolved from public scandal into branding, theater, provocation, and pop culture tradition. If you’ve ever wondered how rock music became the target of preachers, parents, politicians, and nightly news panic, this is the episode for you. What are your memories of Satanic Panic and what impact do you think it had? Let us know in the comments. We hope you enjoy Episode 666 - Satanic Panic.

We also cover a surprise Guns N’ Roses-related reunion performance at Rock For Jennifer and Charlie Benante’s thoughts on both a possible live album from Pantera and the direction of the upcoming Anthrax release. We also get into Blaze Bayley being added to the list of Iron Maiden members nominated for the Rock Hall, Bobby Blotzer calling for one last tour from Ratt’s classic lineup, and the sons of Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons releasing a new Stanley Simmons video while Paul pushes back on the nepotism talk. On top of that, Melissa Reese will miss the upcoming Guns N’ Roses tour, William Shatner teams with Rob Halford for a reworked Judas Priest classic, Rikki Rockett’s long-awaited memoir finally gets a release window, Ginger of The Wildhearts reveals a serious cancer diagnosis, and Geoff Tate offers praise for Queensrÿche replacement Todd La Torre.

| 3/10/26 |  Geekwire Week of 03.10.26 | We're back to discuss all the latest, greatest, and strangest happenings in the rock world with Geekwire! Here's what we're digging into this time: Sebastian Bach joins Twisted Sister with Dee Snider's full blessing, and the band also added Joey Cassata on drums for the upcoming shows. Jon Bon Jovi is still showing vocal struggles in public performance, this time during a Tony Robbins appearance. Zakk Wylde revealed the song that first made him want to pick up the guitar and explained his motivation for opening for Black Label Society. Reactivated Sister Sin has released “Drive,” only its second new single in 12 years. Metallica has added six more “Life Burns Faster” Sphere residency shows in Las Vegas. Mortgage brokers are standing by. A massive Ozzy Osbourne statue will be unveiled at Hellfest, while Sharon says Ozzfest will return in 2027. Members of Ace Frehley’s solo band have announced an Australian tour celebrating a late KISS legend. Geddy Lee says Anika Nilles didn’t click immediately, but by day five she had nailed it. But, is it for the glory or the cash? Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony say they have not been asked to take part in Alex Van Halen’s project with Steve Lukather. Additionally, what the heck IS this project exactly? All that and more on this edition of Geekwire! Decibel Geek is a proud member of the Pantheon Podcasts family. Contact Us!

| 3/2/26 |  The Best and Worst of Bon Jovi Part 1 (Ep662) | We're back to take stock of one of the biggest bands to explode out of the 1980's as we decide The Best and Worst of Bon Jovi! In this episode, we kick off Part 1 covering every studio album from the self-titled 1984 debut through 2002’s Bounce. The goal was simple: each of us picked one favorite and one least favorite track from every album — no live albums, no compilations — and let the arguments fall where they may. We start with Bon Jovi and 7800° Fahrenheit. These 2 first albums straddled the line between AOR vibes, solid riffs, keyboard overkill, and rushed timelines for recording. The discussion revolves around early identity, flashes of future greatness, and whether these records are overlooked gems or simply necessary growing pains. Then it’s into the arena-stratosphere era with Slippery When Wet and New Jersey, where a string of hits vaulted the band into stadiums and MTV dominance. We examine whether the massive singles define the albums or overshadow deeper cuts. The early ’90s shift begins with Keep the Faith, marking a reinvention in the grunge era, and continues with the darker, more introspective These Days. These records sparked some of the most interesting debate: growth vs accessibility, musicianship vs hooks, and whether deeper cuts like “Dry County” outshine the radio staples. We wrap Part 1 with the comeback of Crush and the post-9/11 tone of Bounce. We hope you enjoy The Best and Worst of Bon Jovi Part 1 and SHARE with a friend!

| 2/16/26 |  Geekwire - Week of 02.16.26 | This week on Geekwire, we dig into some big movement in the hard rock and metal world as Skid Row teams up with Sweetwater for a worldwide search for a brand-new singer — and yes, anyone with the pipes can throw their hat in the ring. We also hit comments from Slash, who explains how the Guns N' Roses recording process has always worked as a democracy behind the scenes, plus tour news as W.A.S.P. announces the “1984 to Headless” North American run with special guests KK's Priest. We discuss a tough update from the metal world as Twisted Sister cancels all 2026 reunion shows due to Dee Snider’s health challenges, and the reaction across the scene. Also in the mix: Manowar shares emotional words following news about Ross “The Boss,” Accept guitarist Philip Shouse unveils his debut EP, and Blaze Bayley explains why he’s stepping away from meet-and-greets at future shows. We check out a funny story from Chris Jericho involving Ozzy Osbourne, along with new music news from Donnie Vie signing to Steven Van Zandt’s label. KISS-related headlines dominate part of the show as Gene Simmons joins an all-star tribute to the Bon Scott era of AC/DC, the sons of Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons release the first Stanley Simmons video, and the classic “I Was Made For Lovin’ You” video crosses the one-billion-view mark on YouTube. Plus: Brett Carlisle’s run on American Idol, the bizarre Chattanooga KISS memorabilia theft story (by popular demand), and renewed discussion around the Kurt Cobain investigation as claims resurface while Seattle police stand by the original ruling.

| 2/9/26 |  Band Wars - Ep659 | In this episode, you’ll hear hard rock, glam, and metal bands absolutely duke it out, both with rival bands and with themselves. We dig into legendary external feuds like Guns N' Roses vs Mötley Crüe, where Axl Rose publicly challenged Vince Neil to a fistfight, and Metallica vs Winger, highlighted by Lars Ulrich literally throwing darts at a Winger poster. We also cover industry power struggles like Skid Row vs Bon Jovi, where refusing to stay an opening act allegedly led to blacklisting and some very public trash talk. The chaos doesn’t stop there, as plenty of bands turned on themselves in spectacular fashion. We break down Van Halen imploding across multiple eras, Dokken recording parts separately out of sheer hatred, and Ratt splintering into multiple touring versions while suing each other over the band name. You’ll also hear about long-running grudges involving Megadeth, internal dysfunction in KISS, and famously toxic relationships in bands like Enuff Z'Nuff—all proving that sometimes the biggest threat to a band’s survival isn’t critics or trends, but the people standing next to them onstage. Of course, there's plenty of rock feuds we didn't get to in this episode and we're pretty sure YOU have an idea of what we could cover in future volumes. Let us know in the comments who's rivalry you'd like us to cover next. We hope you enjoy Band Wars and SHARE with a friend. Contact Us!

| 1/28/26 |  DBG Times January Edition – Episode 658 | This edition of the DBG Times covers a wide range of rock and metal history, along with notable Rockstar Deathdays honoring Phil Lynott, Neil Peart, Steve Clark, Eddie Clarke, Sylvain Sylvain, and John Sykes. Looking back 10 years to 2016, the show revisits releases from Black Sabbath and Megadeth, including Sabbath’s final studio-era material and Megadeth’s well-received return to a heavier, more classic sound. From 2001, we highlight Turn 21 by The Donnas, an album that helped solidify their identity and garner more recognition. Going back 30 years to 1996, the discussion includes albums from Accept and Mr. Big, reflecting a challenging era as traditional hard rock and metal faced shifting trends. At 35 years (1991), we touch on notable releases by David Lee Roth, Drivin' N Cryin', and Motörhead, showcasing the variety of sounds coming out of the early ’90s. Looking at 1986, we revisit Seventh Star by Black Sabbath and the long-delayed debut of White Lion, two releases with very different paths and outcomes. From 1981, the episode covers peak-era albums by 38 Special, April Wine, and Styx, all enjoying major commercial success during this period. Jumping back 50 years to 1976, we discuss releases from Bad Company and Grand Funk Railroad, each facing internal and external challenges at different points in their careers. Wrapping up the historical portion at 55 years (1971), we explore early albums from ZZ Top, Mountain, Lucifer's Friend, and Dust, capturing the formative years of heavy rock and metal. The episode also includes a rundown of new rock and metal releases, featuring recent albums from Alter Bridge, Bullet, Kreator, Gluecifer, Helix, and a final studio release tied to the farewell era of Megadeth.

| 12/18/25 |  No Singer No Problem - Ep653 | This week on the Decibel Geek Podcast, Chris is hosting solo, leaning into a music-forward episode that features killer instrumentals; No Singer No Problem. This is NOT a shredder's episode; instead he's pulling from from across classic rock, hard rock, metal, and modern instrumental territory. Before diving in, Chris takes a moment to pay tribute to our late friend and former Decibel Geek staff member, Kate Thompson. Her love of music, dedication to the cause, and presence within the rock community are deeply missed, and this episode is dedicated in her memory. After a quick look back at listener feedback from the previous DBG Times episode and a new round of Geeks of the Week, the show shifts fully into instrumental mode. From an iconic Jeff Beck Group tune from the 60's to the shredder-ific heights scaled by Jason Becker and Criss Oliva to more moody, atomospheric tunes from Aerosmith, Russian Circles, and more, it's a solid mix of tunes.

| 12/3/25 |  Decibel Geek Podcast - Geekwire - Week of 12.03.25 - Ep651 | We're back to discuss all the latest, greatest, and weirdest rock news on Geekwire! In today’s episode, we’ve got some big rock news coming your way. First up, legends LYNYRD SKYNYRD and FOREIGNER have just announced their Double Trouble Double Vision tour for summer 2026, which is set to be a massive one. However, it’s worth noting that neither band will feature any original members—we share our thoughts. We also dive into Rikki Rockett’s recent comments about his strained relationship with Bret Michaels, revealing there’s nothing on the books for a 2026 POISON tour—what’s going on behind the scenes? We also talk about Dave Mustaine’s ambitious vision for Megadeth’s final show, which he hopes will take place… in space? And Johnny Kelly of Type O Negative opens up about plans to celebrate the late Peter Steele’s life and legacy with a special tribute. In festival news, over 160 bands, including heavy hitters like Guns N' Roses and Foo Fighters, have been announced for the 2026 edition of Welcome to Rockville. Mötley Crüe is also making waves, with their own big tour announcement, this time bringing Tesla and Extreme along for a summer 2026 North American run. Ambitious of them to follow those two acts. Also on today’s show, Alice Cooper is getting the band back together for a special performance at the 2025 Christmas Pudding, reuniting with his original bandmates and David Coverdale officially announces his retirement.

| 11/24/25 |  Torpedo Dudes 4 All - "No Ship!" - Ep650 | We couldn't help but release a Torpedo Dudes episode to cover all the KISS news coming from the recent Vegas weekend and there's a lot to cover! We cover the major headlines around KISS this week: their tribute to Ace during the first unmasked show (and our thoughts on its delivery), Bruce Kulick joining them (sorta) during the electric set, Paul Stanley teasing new KISS music (but, for what?), the director of the upcoming Shout It Out Loud biopic calling their story “the ultimate rock ’n’ roll fantasy,” updates on the KISS Avatar project, and Bob Ezrin’s emotional remarks on Ace Frehley’s passing and the end of an era.

| 11/5/25 |  Decibel Geek Times Week of 11.05.25 - Ep648 | This week’s episode looks back at key moments in rock history and highlights new releases making noise right now. We mark Rockstar Deathdays for greats like Eddie Van Halen, Jan Kuehnemunde, Glen Buxton, Ronnie Van Zandt, Steve and Cassie Gaines, Shannon Hoon, Paul Di’Anno, Ricky Parent, Mark (Marcie) Free, and Ace Frehley. Album Anniversaries span five decades of milestones — from W.A.S.P.’s Golgotha and Tony Iommi’s star-studded solo debut to Ozzy’s Ozzmosis, the Pumpkins’ Mellon Collie, and Motörhead’s Ace of Spades. We also revisit early thrash landmarks from Anthrax and Overkill, and classics from The Who, Angel, and Led Zeppelin. In New Music, fresh releases from Michael Schenker Group, Udo Dirkschneider, Testament, Bangalore Choir, Doro, Big Wreck, and Mammoth help keep the spirit of rock alive.

| 10/22/25 |  Remembering Ace - Ep646 | This week, we release an episode we’ve dreaded making — but knew we had to. Last week, we lost Ace Frehley. A giant part of our childhoods, and of rock ‘n’ roll itself, is gone. The songs, the solos, the character, the swagger — the guitar pyrotechnics — have all gone the way of Jendell. In this episode, we share our thoughts on Ace’s passing, his legacy, his place in our collective consciousness, and the reminder of how fragile life can be. But above all, we find ways to laugh. It doesn’t take long to remember the funny, unforgettable moments that made Ace who he was — and we share plenty of those too. It’s a tough one for us, and for many of you. We miss him.

| 10/6/25 |  Geekwire - Week of 10.07.25 - Ep644 | Warning: you might need a drink (or three) to keep up with us this week as things get silly. Grab your favorite beverage and try to follow along as we tackle all the latest rock chaos: Sammy Hagar takes accountability and causes a stunning admission from Aaron. Jon Bon Jovi’s Nashville bar hits the market. This House is Not for Sale; but, the business is. Def Leppard finally get their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame but dare you tread there? Europe’s Ian Haugland promises a full-on return to ‘80s glory but is that what we want? Axl Rose becomes a jazz-loving humanoid robot. What? Frank Bello and Billy Sheehan contribute to Accept’s 50th-anniversary album. But, what the hell is it? Aerosmith teams with Yungblud for a new track, and Aaron dishes out some unsolicited career advice for him Ace Frehley takes a spill and lands in the hospital—but, hopefully, just Trouble Walkin'. Vince Neil returns to the stage to Knock 'Em Dead; after cheating death multiple times. Mark "The Animal" Mendoza won’t be joining Twisted Sister’s 2026 reunion. Is the issue cosmetic, or something deeper? Yes, Scott Ian’s beard dye is actually for sale Chiller Theatre drops the news that Vinnie Vincent won’t be showing up (shocked, anyone?) And Aaron announces a big life change while trying to resurrect an old classic. So pour one out, press play, and try to keep up—it’s Geekwire, and sobriety is optional.
