Episode 63 - Jeff Duncan: When we did our Library of Loud episode in September, our special guest that week was Tales from the Stage author Michael Toney. During that conversation, Michael mentioned that he had recently started managing guitarist Jeff Duncan. Immediately, gears started turning in our heads to get the Odin/Armored Saint/DC4 guitarist on the show. Thanks to the generosity of Mr. Toney, we're able to bring you our conversation with Mr. Duncan this week. Jeff Duncan started playing guitar at the young age of 10 after being inspired by his professional musician-father. In this discussion, Jeff shares how he was exposed to a variety of music through his father; from 1950's do-wop to 60's-era singer/songwriter styles such as Cat Stevens. But, it was Jeff's discovery of Black Sabbath that put him the path to hard rock and heavy metal that he would embark upon. With the formation of Odin in the early 1980's, Jeff Duncan quickly became a staple of the burgeoning Sunset by Decibel Geek Podcast

Dallon Weekes (IDKHOW, ex-Panic at the Disco, The Brobecks): Episode 253 - I Don't Know How But They Found Me frontman Dallon Weekes joins the show! After having underground and critical success with Utah's The Brobecks, Dallon found himself in Panic! At The Disco, a band he performed and wrote in for 8 years. As that started to become a grind, Dallon started IDKHOW with Falling in Reverse drummer (and great dude) Ryan Seaman. At first the band played only in secret, until the hype got so big they both took the plunge and decided to do IDKHOW exclusively. Now, after 3 years of touring success, and a few EP's and singles, IDKHOW has released their first full length album - "Razzmatazz" - which is already popping up on album of the year lists all over the place. We talk about his upbringing, his time in P!ATD, and how they are coping with releasing their first album during a pandemic. by Lead Singer Syndrome with Shane Told

DIO-CEMBER Vol1 - Ep345: We celebrate the holidays this week by releasing volume 1 of a 2 part special on a legend; DIO-CEMBER Vol1 is here! In this special, we pay tribute to the late, great Ronnie James Dio. This week's entry has us focusing on Ronnie's first decade in the rock world 1972-1981. Ronald Padavona was born in New Hampshire in 1942. His family would soon move to New York where he would be raised around music. Beginning at the age of 5, Ronnie was a born-performer. Stints playing trumpet and bass would lead the way to Ronnie fronting bands. After changing his name to Dio around 1960, his first real step in the world of rock would be taken in 1972. ELF's self-titled debut album features Ronnie and childhood friends performing while Deep Purple legends Roger Glover and Ian Paice produced. This would lead to extended touring opening for Purple and, eventually, the formation of Richie Blackmore's Rainbow. DIO-CEMBER Vol1 Rainbow's history is well-covered but, in short, the by Decibel Geek Podcast

Album Review Crew Episode 25 "Down To Earth": On the 25th Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom, Zeus & Sonny review the 1979 album by Rainbow, "Down To Earth." With Ronnie James Dio out of Rainbow, Guitar God, Ritchie Blackmore brings in Graham Bonnet to handle the vocals on this, his one and only album with Rainbow. The band also brought in old friend, Roger Glover from Deep Purple to produce the album, however Roger ends up writing the lyrics and joining the band as its new bassist. ARC favorite, Don Airey joins as well as the keyboard player. The sole remaining Rainbow member on the album was legendary drummer, Cozy Powell. This forgotten Rainbow album was sandwiched between three Dio led Rainbow albums and three Joe Lynn Turner led Rainbow albums. The album seemed to stray away from the familiar Rainbow sound and lyrics into a more commercial sound, especially with its two singles, All Night Long and their biggest hit, Since You Been Gone.
