You may well have internet radio fatigue, God knows there are thousands of sites trying to get your attention. The Story of Rock and Roll Radio Show is different. It goes out live weekly on Rebel Rock Radio and Bulldogs radio but also as a Podcast so you can choose when you want to hear it. TSORR is not background music, it is a relationship. The show exists to introduce you to music you will like, play the music you want to hear, and give you some insight into the bands and the music. So, if Rock & Metal are part of your life, give The Story of Rock and Roll a listen. The Story of Rock and Roll Radio Show or TSORR covers a vast range of Rock, Metal, Punk & Blues. It showcases guitar based-music from around the world. You will get music from the mid 60's all the way through to albums released this week. With TSORR it is all about the music. If you love guitars and loud rock and roll this is the show for you. Each week it features many of the top rock and metal bands in the world. There is always a healthy selection of ACDC, Priest, Maiden, Metallica, Rush, Kiss, Queen, ZZ Top, Rammstein, Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Rainbow, Dio, and all the bands that made Rock Music what it is today. The show also introduces you to many great bands that you may or may not have heard of. TSORR tends not to focus on the greatest rock hits of all time, it goes deeper and features tracks off classic albums that you won't hear elsewhere. TSORR is the place to pick up on something you like and then follow up and delve deeper into a band or song that struck a sweet chord with you. The show is always trying to bring you, in Bowie's words, that "One damn song that can make me break down and cry".

S9E24 went out on 11 June 2026, live from TSORR Myoli Beach Studios in the Western Cape.

The Diabolical Challenge threw us straight into difficult choices with four absolute legends: Soundgarden, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Van Halen. As always, choosing one was a bitch.

In the Immortals slot, as promised last week, we fired up Metallica with the epic instrumental “Orion” from Master of Puppets — Cliff Burton’s masterpiece, complete with all the bass wizardry and emotional weight behind it.

We had new releases from Brian Fallon and sadly forgot to play the new Mastodon.

Artists featured this week:
The Cult, Five Finger Death Punch, Bush, Iron Maiden, Dio, Cinderella, Dokken, Foo Fighters, The Pretty Reckless, Yungblud, Greta Van Fleet, Brian Fallon, The Distillers, Uriah Heep, Velvet Revolver, W.A.S.P., Quiet Riot, Slade, The Knack, Stephen Hawking (feat. Mark Haze & Eva), Judas Priest, Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Rush, Metallica, Soundgarden, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Hinder, Motörhead, The Angels, Therapy?, Bruce Springsteen, Extreme, Thunder.
