Metallic Onslaught Show Archive

Listen to the Show

Recap by The Metal Wulf; Another relatively quiet evening this week. Meaning, in a nutshell, there was no goofing around until somebody fell into a large, spiky houseplant.
Yeah, there are still scratch marks on my left ass cheek...

We had a pleasant surprise in the form of a visit from Tim Binder, who's back in the area to celebrate the holidays. Joe even played Giuffria's "Call To Your Heart" just for Tim, and I must say, I was a little shocked by the song choice, for a couple of reasons:

A. That has got to be the most commercial song I've EVER heard Joe play on the Onslaught. Geez, what's next, Bon Jovi? Shudder...
B. What the FUCK? He plays Giuffria, but consistently busts on my balls for liking Jackyl? DAMN!!!!

Okay, to be honest, no disrespect to Giuffria. I've heard far worse over the years, no doubt about that. But, Giuffria sounded a little too much like Journey, and as far as I'm concerned, you only really need one Journey. Still, on the plus side, they had a damned fine guitar player in Craig Goldy, who went on to kick some ass with Dio off and on over the years. Hell, the guy is one of the main reasons that Dream Evil is one of my favorite Dio records.
Still kinda burns my tush that playing Giuffria was somehow a lesser evil than Jackyl, though...

Tim actually surprised us all a bit when he admitted that he didn't own any Metallica releases. Well, he's got Ride The Lightning ripped to his laptop now, so here's to hoping he gains a new appreciation for their stuff. Seriously, Tim, ya can't go wrong with their first three albums. Must-haves, all of them!!!

In some of the more humorous moments of the evening, Joe had remarked on how quickly our topics of discussion can spiral downward into tastelessness. It's actually kind of frightening sometimes, I have to say. Of course, if people could hear some of the shit we discuss OFF the air...

Interspersed throughout the evening was some more sounds of the season, of course. We're building up for our Christmas show next week, after all! Yes, that is correct, the Onslaught will be on for your Christmas Eve listening pleasure! Just imagine the headbanging fun you can have while wrapping those last few gifts! I have a feeling this show's going to be more fun than usual, and it's also going to be our last show of 2010, so DON'T MISS OUT!!!
