Monsters and music - two great things that go great together!
Sure the supernatural and the devilish has always had a corner of music since music began. Classical music and opera toyed with deals with the devil, murder and madness. Folk songs reflected dark fables, mystical creatures and witches. Early blues and bluegrass sang about the worst of humanity and Faustian deals.
But it's really Heavy Metal and Rock that some musicians REALLY embraced all things dark and monstrous, to the delight of millions. And when these folks caught on of course monster rock bands would be fictionalized and represented in movies too.
Join Glenn and Luis as they chat about the musicians that embrace and project the macabre. From devious do-wop, Bobby 'Boris' Pickett, T.V. horror hosts, Alice Cooper, ISS, The Misfits and The Cramps to the amazing fake bands of Phantom of the Paradise - jeez, Glenn even manages to squeeze in his old band M.S.I - we gab about them all!
Cool audio clips abound !!
