The Story of Rock and Roll: S7E11

The Story of Rock and Roll Radio Show

S7E11 went out live on Rebel Rock Radio at 19h00 on 14 March 2024. Last week we invented a new feature which, thanks to some audience participation, has become known as Twisted Twins. It involves playing two songs with the same name but by different bands. We continued with Twisted Twins on this show as well as the usual favourites The Diabolical Challenge and The Immortals. The new Judas Priest is out so obviously we continued to rave about that. There is also a new Pearl Jam album coming and we took a listen to the title track 'Dark Matter. Plus we have great news! Green Day, The Offspring and Fokofpolisiekar coming to SA in January 2025.

This week's Immortals feature – a track over 7 min that showcases an artist in a way that typical < 5 min radio tracks can’t. This week we had one of the world's most beloved bands – Pink Floyd and the 11-minute masterpiece off Animals titled ‘Pigs (Three Different Ones)’. Log overdue some might say, excuse the pun.

On The Diabolical Challenge, we looked at four bands beginning with the letter ‘K’. The idea is that we have 4 albums, and you can only pick one. This week we had:

King Diamond – Abigail

Krokus – One Vice At a Time

Kiss – Lick It Up

Kid Rock – Rebel Soul
