Episode 31: Time to Hang it Up -- Prove me wrong!

The Rock and Metal Profs: The History and Philosophy of Rock and Metal

On this episode of the Rock and Metal Profs, Matt and Court discuss artists and bands that may need to call it a career. The Profs grapple with beloved rock acts that for one reason or another simply cannot perform at their previous high level, as well as bands that contain few or no original members. Should a band like Quiet Riot continue with no founding members? Should David Lee Roth quit be-bopping, scatting and shoo-bee doing and quietly fade into the sweet good night? Would Metallica have been a better or more interesting band with a few line-up changes? Does Vince Neil feel any sense of guilt charging top dollar to sing 50% of the lyrics, some of which are unintelligible? We make some tough and potentially unpopular assessments, and we'd like to hear from you. Let us know if we are on target, or way off!
