Listen to the Show
Recap by The Metal Wulf; This night should have been relatively calm and uneventful. Honestly, there was absolutely NO REASON for things to go as abysmally and catastrophically wrong as they did. But...they did...So, Rick was hosting in place of Joe, who was attending Tran-Siberian Orchestra's show in Rochester that night. Will Polson was in the control room with Rick, while Josh, Bill, and I were in our usual places, and the night was off to a pretty good start.We also had a new person on hand. Remember how I'd jokingly mentioned we needed a Mommy in the Stupid Room a few months back? Well, we now have someone to fill that position, and I must say that Lindsey was taking to the job eagerly. I, myself, ended up with two time-outs...
There was much rejoicing in the studio in the early going, as Rick and I explained how I'd killed Jeffie the week before. This turn of events came to pass on an edition of The Last Exit For The Lost, our sister show in Ithaca. Guilty confession time: I had actually considered that visit to The Last Exit as a defection from The Metallic Onslaught. After events during our Halloween show, I'd decided I needed to get away from Jeffie permanently, and considering he's not allowed on The Last Exit...You see where I was going? Well, that particular night on The Last Exit was they're Tribute To The Past Russian Roulette show. No new music was played, and the Russian Roulette aspect comes from a random selection of songs that are played. Any songs that fall into the category of overplayed, cheesy, or covers are considered "bullets", and if a bullet plays, somebody has to draw a slip of paper from a bag. Written on the slip is a random action or activity that the person must carry out. At some point, somebody pulled a slip with Jeffie's name on it, meaning that Jeffie had to be called to come to The Last Exit... Seriously, what are the frickin' odds?Well, as soon as Jeffie got there, I was on him like white on rice, bludgeoning him to death with a liter bottle of Mountain Dew and disemboweling him with a piece of broken record. What's even worse is that, in my rage, I seem to have torn what was left of Jeffie in half, literally grabbing a butt cheek in each hand and TEARING! Yeah, it was a hell of a mess! By the end of that night on The Last Exit, I'd reconsidered my decision to leave the Onslaught, and not just because we didn't have Jeffie to worry about anymore. I became the subject of a bullet, and my slip of paper simply said "Porno Joe". Meaning that Just Joe gave me a lap dance, much to my sheer terror...
So, with all that in mind and knowing that Jeffie wouldn't be tormenting us anymore, Rick was cool enough to play some Jackyl for me, thinking we could get away with it in Joe's absence. Hey, I saw absolutely no harm in enjoying "The Lumberjack"!
Well, somebody else seemed to think that it was a bad idea...
Imagine our surprise when the Demon Azkath himself showed up! The guy came in with Foul Mouth Girl and Just Joe, and proceeded to not only chloroform Rick, but he also took over the show! AND HE BLAMED ME!!! Not just for playing Jackyl, either, he'd also admitted that Jeffie's death was part of it, as well as some previous invasions by the Onslaught. Invasions by the Onslaught? Now, he couldn't possibly have meant our interrupting their interview with Moore a couple months ago? Hell, that was just all in good fun! Okay, so Azkath's the kind of guy who seems to carry a grudge, and this was his method of payback. On top of everything else, when Rick regained consciousness, HE blamed me for the takeover as well! Hell, if I'd known playing Jackyl would spark that kind of reaction, I'd have left well enough alone. Funny thing is, Rick grudgingly agreed that Azkath had been doing a good job in the control room, prompting the Demon to relinquish control of the show back to Rick. Now, one would think that things would have gone a little more smoothly, but I'd been really leary around Just Joe that evening. He claimed that he didn't remember giving me the lap dance that night on The Last Exit, but he sure didn't waste any time stripping to his boxers and bouncing on my lap again! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Yeah, it was too much to take, and I ran for it. Don't know how the rest of the evening went, but I'd had enough!So, here's hoping that the next show will be back to normal, and that Joe won't be too angry at the turn of events during his absence...
November 6, 2010 - Jeffie Takes Over
Listen to the Show
So this night, everyone from The Metallic Onslaught went to see Overkill at The Montage Music Hall in Rochester. Everyone EXCEPT Jeffie. What they didn't know, despite him warning them he would, is that Jeffie was going to take over The Metallic Onslaught this night. And he did. Apparently Joe got wind of it a bit more than halfway through, but it was really too late...

October 30, 2010 - Halloween
Listen to the Show - Pictures
Recap by The Metal Wulf; I'd been looking forward to this show, especially when you consider I missed out on last year due to my foot surgery. Yep, celebrating Halloween on the Onslaught was a great way to kick off what would be a full weekend of fun!
Rick had brought an old friend by the name of Will along, and he definitely seemed to fit in with the rest of the crew, especially when it came time to beat on Jeffie at the end of the show! Turns out that he's done radio before, in the Buffalo area. I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of him!
Jeffie seemed a little confused when he arrived. Being in costume for this show, I was foregoing my wolf form, and Jeffie kept thinking I was Josh, and also thinking Josh was me. Yeah, it got a little annoying trying to keep him straight, but it would get worse before the night was over!
So, it seems that Jeffie's got an alternate personality called Pepe that he was embracing for the evening. So, he comes out in a Mexican bandito outfit, complete with a sombrero, a wool poncho, and maracas...Gotta say, that poncho was more than just a little on the itchy side, as Bill and I both got our heads wrapped up in it. Of course, then Jeffie had to try dressing me up as Pepe.This didn't go over too well to begin with, since I was already pretty satisfied with my zombie-demon (demon-zombie? Hmmmm...) get-up. But, before you could say "South Of The Border", I had the sombrero, the poncho, the sunglasses, and even the maracas.I tried to make the most of it, though, right up to the point where Jeffie used his bandanna to dose me with chloroform...I don't remember much after that, just that I was starting to come back to my senses and was still pretty groggy when something utterly unthinkable happened. Apparently Jeffie was pretty sure he'd killed me, and Joe had told him to give me mouth-to-mouth.Now, imagine my shock when Jeffie's tongue made it's way down my esophagus! Yep, I was pretty outraged, I must say. I even tried strangling him with his own poncho once he was finished with concert listings.
The night pretty much spiraled down from there, ending with Will and I beating on Jeffie, and Jeffie clutching Bill's leg and being dragged about the studio.
So, in retrospect, I've gotta say I'm still pretty mortified by the whole "mouth-to-mouth" thing. This whole I-Dosing thing has obviously only made Jeffie worse, and in the interest of getting away from him permanently, as of this weekend, I'M LEAVING THE METALLIC ONSLAUGHT! That's right, I can't go back there, Jeffie wins, they can have him. I'm hooking up with The Last Exit For The Lost starting this Saturday night!
Really, it can't possibly be any worse than hanging with Jeffie!

October 23, 2010 - Shockin' Audrey Returns...
Listen to the Show
Recap by The Metal Wulf; Well, I'd say the big topic of conversation for the evening was the High On Fire show that the five of us attended the previous Saturday. It was definitely a kick-ass night all around, with all three bands pretty much bludgeoning us. In a good way! I think I may have finally pushed Joe over the edge in the early portion of the show. As in during the first talk break... I'd brought up a confession I'd made on our way to the High On Fire show (mostly in jest, by the way!) I'd mentioned that I should build a shrine to Jackyl, complete with a giant golden chainsaw that could be used for sacrificial purposes. Joe didn't really seem too keen on discussing the matter too much, but I took it a step further by mentioning that I'd also added Jesse James DuPree as a friend on Facebook! Joe's response?
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"
He seemed to have regained his composure by the next talk break, though. Good thing, too, because by then we'd had a visitor arrive from Roc City Roller Derby. Yep, it had been over a year since Shockin' Audrey's last visit, and she was kind enough to bring us up to speed on her status. She's been out of action since June, when she suffered a broken leg. Happy to say that she's up and about, now, though, and pretty much ready to hit the track again! She was also promoting the season's closing bout on November 13 at the Dome Arena in Henrietta. Proceeds from this bout will be going to the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester, and will feature a silent auction where bidders can walk away with plaster castings of...well...the breasts of some of the derby girls! That's right, these casts have been painted and decorated, and will be up for bid, and it's all for a good cause! Just think of the potential these have as far as being conversation pieces!
Jeffie was on hand once again, and he's still I-Dosing. He's also become fond of a new song, which seems to be called "(We All Love) Yelling On The Radio!", or something to that effect. Kinda fun to participate in, but I can see where there's an underlying annoyance factor... Speaking of annoying, I wasn't too thrilled by the attention that was almost given to a donut I was nibbling on at one point. Seems Jeffie thought it would make a nice subject for a game of "What's In Jeffie's Pants?", but thankfully I had broken it in half and was eating it before he had a chance to play a special game of ring toss. EWWWWWWWWW!!!
So, next up is our Halloween show, which I'm especially looking forward to. If you remember correctly, I missed out on last year's while I was recovering from my foot surgery. But I'm on hand for this year, and I can't wait to see what kind of craziness transpires!

October 16, 2010 - Focus on the Music...
Listen to the Show
Recap by The Metal Wulf;If you tuned in at 9 p.m. Friday night to find...well, not sure what exactly would have been heard at that time, to be honest...anyhoo, you may have been a little disappointed. Or not? Suffice to say, the show had been pre-empted by an hour due to circumstances beyond our control... Okay, so we went live at 10:00 instead, it was all good. It was actually a relatively calm night, with a bigger focus on the music, which, as I've said before, is never a bad thing! Kinda nice to push the silliness in the Stupid Room (as we've affectionately come to call it) off to the sides every now and then. Besides, quiet nights like these usually result in twice the craziness when things go back to "normal" on the following week.
So, as far as music goes, we were featuring new material from Flotsam And Jetsam, which is actually REALLY, REALLY good, more than worth a listen or two! Triptykon has a new EP coming out soon, and we were more than happy to feature "Shatter", the discs title track. I'll be gettin' my paws on that one, without a doubt. We also threw some High On Fire and Torche into the mix, as we anticipated seeing both bands (along with Kylesa) at Waterstreet Music Hall the following night. Yep, the entire Onslaught crew were in attendance, and I'll tell ya, that was one crazy damned crowd! Personally, the best club show I've ever attended, and High On Fire are officially the heaviest band on the frickin' planet. Okay, maybe with the exception of Behemoth, but I personally haven't seen them perform yet...
Also featured some tracks from "Bitten By The Beast", which is the new solo disc from David "Rock" Feinstein of The Rods. We'd been treated to some of these tracks at a couple of shows in recent months, but there was one track in particular that I badly wanted to hear the studio version of. "Metal Will Never Die" features vocals by David's cousin, now departed metal legend, Ronnie James Dio himself. It was great hearing David performing the song live with The Rods, back in June in Ithaca, as well as last month in Auburn, but to hear the actual song off the disc, knowing it was among Ronnie's last recordings, well that's something pretty damned special in my book!
No Jeffie last week, which probably contributed greatly to the feel of "normalcy", but he'll be back this week, I'm sure. On top of that, Halloween is fast approaching, so I can only imagine how that night's going to go! Hell, last year I totally missed out on Halloween on The Metallic Onslaught as I was recovering from my foot surgery, so this year I get to make up for lost time! Heh, heh, somethin' to look forward to!

October 9, 2010 - The Sneezing Metal Wulf
Listen to the Show
Recap by The Metal Wulf; Well, I made a bit of a slip in the first talk break, I must admit. Joe had played Armored Saint's "Can U Deliver" in the opening set of music, and I confessed on the air that I'd almost creamed myself... Okay, so it had been awhile since I'd heard it, and I was pretty pumped. Can ya blame me? Anyway, that little slip only led to things spiraling downward very quickly in the early going of the show, especially when Steve Papagiorgio showed up. Yeah, he walked in, much to our surprise, and proceeded to hand me something, saying "Read this, Wulfie." Turns out it was a subpoena, and that he was planning on suing me for NOT BEING A WOLF! That son of a bitch! I promptly reminded Steve that he'd been in on the whole gimmick from the beginning, and that he knew full well that I wasn't really a werewolf, but he wasn't having it, telling me I'd better get a lawyer. Now, I can't quite remember who it was who mentioned this, but somebody suggested that Just Joe from The Last Exit For The Lost could represent me in court. Forgive me if I'm a little hesitant about jumping on that... From there, Joe threatened to sue Steve in return, because he isn't really a cyborg, meaning he isn't really made of metal! Oddly enough, for some reason I started sneezing at the mention of "metal". It got worse, too, because the more somebody said "metal", the more I sneezed. Something definitely wasn't right, and I mentioned that I was pretty sure something had happened when Bill, Rick, and myself had gone to visit The Last Exit the week before. Rick said that he knew what was going on, but he was sworn to secrecy. Hmmmmm...maybe Jeffie would know what was going on, assuming he wasn't still in rehab.
Cuss Muffin had joined us once again, as there was a derby bout on the next night. Joe, Rick, Josh, and I were all in attendance for that, by the way, and we had a great time cheering the Roc Stars to victory over the Boston B Party! Anyhoo, it's always great to have Cuss on the show, and she was even kind enough to bring along some brownies and cookies as a gesture of thanks for passing Animal over to her. Seems Animal has been repaired and holds a special spot in her home, which is great because I think the poor guy wouldn't have survived too much longer on the Onslaught!
Jeffie arrived eventually, and he promptly informed me that he was going to make me pay his rehab bill... WHAT?!?!?!?! Now, Papagiorgio's news was bad enough, but for Jeffie to say I was going to have to cover the rehab expenses, well, that was just a bit much, right there! On top of that, I was in pretty rough shape from sneezing all night at the mere mention of "metal". Jeffie actually made a call to Azkath to get to the bottom of the situation, and to see if there was any way to stop it.
Now, on a previous edition of The Last Exit, Just Joe had been hypnotized and was asked to envision what the Earth would be like after December of 2012. Apparently he'd seen a lot of terrible things, like rabbits...BURNING RABBITS! Hordes of 'em, and lots of tentacles, which we've come to learn are actually Shoggoths. Well, that explains a lot right there, doesn't it? I KNEW that Jeffie's word of God was anything but! More like the word of ELDER GODS!!! Anyhoo, during our recent visit to The Last Exit, Azkath had hypnotized me to get some insight into Just Joe's vision. Sure enough, I saw the burning bunnies, and the Shoggoths, and something far, FAR WORSE!!! Nope, can't think of that one, WAAAAAY too terrible to mention! Anyhow, while in that hypnotic state, Azkath had planted the suggestion in my brain that anytime I heard the word "metal", I'd become allergic to wolves, and being a wolf, well... Okay, that certainly explained the problem, but how about getting rid of it? Seems that all I had to do was envision the "unspeakable horror" I'd seen in my vision, and I'd stop sneezing. So, reluctantly I tried to remember what I'd seen, and sure enough, once I'd remembered that, the sneezing stopped. Of course, I'm still left with that vision of The Unspeakable, so things aren't really much better...

October 2, 2010 - Fleshburn Visit
Listen to the Show
Recap by The Metal Wulf; This night saw Seneca Falls band Fleshburn drop in for a couple of hours. Imagine my surprise when I walked back into the studio after our traditional trip to Cold Stone Creamery to discover not only the band, but their manager, Jeff Barrett. Now, Jeff also plays in another Seneca Falls band by the name of Str8jacket, and I've personally known the guy since, hell, roughly the age of six or so! Yep, we go back a ways, and it was very cool to get to hang with him on the show! I actually mentioned that he needs to get Str8jacket to pay us a visit, but it seems that they are currently searching for a new drummer... Anyhoo, we were playing a few Fleshburn songs throughout the evening, and gotta say, ummmm...they're just a little on the heavy side! Okay, it's like this, the first song they mentioned was supposedly their "weakest" track, and it was anything but! Heavy, brutal, very much in the death metal vein. Good stuff, by all means keep your eyes and ears open accordingly!
Dave Henninger from Spater also joined us for a bit to let folks know that they're starting to look into booking bands for next years Fingerlakes Metal Fest. I was happy to hear that the event will actually be held a week earlier than usual, in the hopes that more people will attend if it's not on Memorial Day weekend. That's right, no excuses! Next year you don't have to worry about passing it up for a camping trip, and I won't have to worry about missing it because I have to work the entire holiday weekend!
Gotta point out a great moment that Josh had. During one of the music breaks, while chatting with the guys in the band, we somehow got on the subject of anal leakage (you know, chips, Olestra, unpleasant oozing from your bum...don't ask me how these things come up, they just do!) Josh joked that Anal Leakage would be a great name for a Grindcore band, and I told him I'd have to search the name out on MySpace, just for shits and giggles. Well, Bill whipped out his trusty Droid-X and searched it out himself, and guess what? THERE'S AN ACTUAL GRINDCORE BAND ON MYSPACE CALLED ANAL LEAKAGE!!! I shit you not, it's actually there! Of course, we had to bring this up on the air, which everybody agreed was a terribly wrong thing to discuss on the air. But discuss it we did, and it was pretty damned funny!
Another source of amusement was our teasing Bill about his interest in going to see Lady Gaga's show in Buffalo next March. Yes, Bill is probably a little more diverse than the rest of us in his listening interests, and he likes some of Lady Gaga's material. For my part, I don't really care for her music, but I've heard enough about her live shows to admit a grudging semi-interest. But, no, I'm passing on that one. Got myself in enough hot water just by going to see Jackyl!
No Jeffie on this show, and it was mentioned that he was probably at Wicked Ithaca. I'd brought up a bit of news I'd heard though, and passed along that he was in rehab after i-dosing just a little too much. This news was greeted by general disinterest from the rest of the crew, which really wasn't very surprising. Should be interesting to see if he happens to find his way back to us this week!
Recap by The Metal Wulf; This night saw Seneca Falls band Fleshburn drop in for a couple of hours. Imagine my surprise when I walked back into the studio after our traditional trip to Cold Stone Creamery to discover not only the band, but their manager, Jeff Barrett. Now, Jeff also plays in another Seneca Falls band by the name of Str8jacket, and I've personally known the guy since, hell, roughly the age of six or so! Yep, we go back a ways, and it was very cool to get to hang with him on the show! I actually mentioned that he needs to get Str8jacket to pay us a visit, but it seems that they are currently searching for a new drummer... Anyhoo, we were playing a few Fleshburn songs throughout the evening, and gotta say, ummmm...they're just a little on the heavy side! Okay, it's like this, the first song they mentioned was supposedly their "weakest" track, and it was anything but! Heavy, brutal, very much in the death metal vein. Good stuff, by all means keep your eyes and ears open accordingly!
Dave Henninger from Spater also joined us for a bit to let folks know that they're starting to look into booking bands for next years Fingerlakes Metal Fest. I was happy to hear that the event will actually be held a week earlier than usual, in the hopes that more people will attend if it's not on Memorial Day weekend. That's right, no excuses! Next year you don't have to worry about passing it up for a camping trip, and I won't have to worry about missing it because I have to work the entire holiday weekend!
Gotta point out a great moment that Josh had. During one of the music breaks, while chatting with the guys in the band, we somehow got on the subject of anal leakage (you know, chips, Olestra, unpleasant oozing from your bum...don't ask me how these things come up, they just do!) Josh joked that Anal Leakage would be a great name for a Grindcore band, and I told him I'd have to search the name out on MySpace, just for shits and giggles. Well, Bill whipped out his trusty Droid-X and searched it out himself, and guess what? THERE'S AN ACTUAL GRINDCORE BAND ON MYSPACE CALLED ANAL LEAKAGE!!! I shit you not, it's actually there! Of course, we had to bring this up on the air, which everybody agreed was a terribly wrong thing to discuss on the air. But discuss it we did, and it was pretty damned funny!
