Just in time for St Patrick’s Day 🍀 our friends Steven Kersh and Mike Sears join us to review Thin Lizzy’s 1975 album Fighting! We discuss the album track-by-track, the solidifying of the classic Thin Lizzy sound, the signature twin guitars of Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson, the underrated genius of Phil Lynott and how he should be recognized more as a songwriter, vocalist and bassist, why greatest hits don’t do the band justice, and we might even digress about Whitesnake. It’s a good time with good friends and good tunes, so pour yourself some whiskey and roll up your sleeves for some fighting…!!

In our rowdiest and potentially most offensive episode yet, Eric and Eddy are joined by The Plug Podcast’s Nate “Bushy” Atchison to discuss Van Hagar’s OU812! In addition to an in-depth, track-by-track analysis of its music and lyrical content, we tackle Dave vs. Sammy, Casio keyboards, Sammy’s singing ability, the real reason Michael Anthony likes Sammy, and we ponder why this album still hasn’t been remastered. If you’ve got a sense of humor and want to party, get out that Cabo Wabo Tequila and let’s boogie! It’s an episode so wild, it should have a Parental Advisory sticker on it…!!!

Eric and Eddy finally have their big throw down over Led Zeppelin as they review their 1975 double album Physical Graffiti !!! Is this legendary band overrated or overplayed? Is it possible to be burnt out on Zeppelin and then have your love for them rekindled? Did Mark “Rat” Ratner drop the ball by playing “Kashmir” in Fast Times at Ridgemont High? Is Phoebe Cates hotter in that film or in Gremlins? Is “Kashmir” better than “Stairway to Heaven”? Is “The Wanton Song” actually about wontons? And why does Eric hate songs about food? These are just a few of the mysteries we unravel as we discuss this landmark album and band…!!!
