The Story of Rock and Roll: S8E50

S8E50 went out live from the TSORR Studio on Myoli Beach on 18 December 2025 at 19h00 on Rebel Rock Radio and Bulldogs Radio.  This show marks the 8th anniversary of The Story of Rock and Roll radio show, and it is basically 'the story of' The Story of Rock and Roll. It was a lot of fun and covered major world and musical events. I had to try to cram eight years of life and music into three hours.  I went through the start at Mix FM in Midrand, the beginning and the end of Rebel Rock Radio, and all things in between.  I totally ran out of time. There were some amazing memories and some amazing music on this one. And a fitting end to Rebel Rock Radio. Make sure you tune in to Bulldogs Radio for all the live shows in future. The Running Order of Artists Featured: Juluka, John Paul Young, Ed Zeppelin, In Flames, Joe Bonamassa, Hell Yeah, Judas Priest, Jack Hammer, KISS, Rush, Ozzy Osbourne, Accept, Judas Priest, Oasis, Van Halen, Blue Chair, Wolf Mother, Bullet for my Valentine, ZZ Top, The Rolling Stones, Five Finger Death Punch, The Clash, Bob Dylan, ACDC, Metallica, Foo Fighters, The Rolling Stones, Buckcherry, Scorpions, Satriani, Iron Maiden, Kid Rock, Youngblood, Halestorm.The Story of Rock and Roll.

S8E49 went out live from the TSORR Studio on Myoli Beach on 4 December 2025 at 19h00 on Rebel Rock Radio.  It was a fun show. There was a super giant moon that is only going to be seen again in 2043, so we played a couple of songs for that. We had an interview with Funky Nature, did the Diabolical Challenge with 4 albums out of Germany, it was a jam-packed show and very entertaining. We also said a fond farewell to South African guitar legend Alistair Coakley, who sadly passed away this week. I hope the first person he meets at the great bar in the sky is Piet Botha, and the second is Lemmy.  RIP AlistairThe Running Order of Artists Featured: Airborne, Danko Jones, Guns N' Roses, Blackyard Riot, Storace, Alter Bridge, Stone Sour, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy, Seether, Billy Gibbons, The Dust Coda, Kid Rock, Motörhead, Iron Maiden, Jimi Hendrix, Big Brother and the Holding Company, The Clash, Funky Nature, Black Sabbath, The Rolling Stones, Stone Temple Pilots, Deep Purple, Dan Patlansky, Helloween, Scorpions, Rammstein, Accept, Hotline, Jack Hammer, The Pretty Reckless, Five Finger Death Punch, The Halo Effect, Great White, David Bowie.The Story of Rock and Roll.

Rock Radio. The show is dedicated to Ace Frehley, who passed away on October 16th, 2025, just a few hours after last week's show wrapped up.  We also continued with the Mutt Lange Commission and MaMo (the ‘Magical Make-Over’) as well as all the usual features we do most weeks.   A highlight of the show was the chat I had with the amazing, uber-talented, Mark Haze.  We listened to his brand new track ‘Walked on By’ 10 hours before the rest of the world.   The Running Order of Artists Featured: Ace Frehley, Five Finger Death Punch, My Chemical Romance, Hinder, Danko Jones, Buckcherry, Kiss, Megadeth, Metallica, AC/DC, Halestorm, Sammy Haggar, Led Zeppelin, Gary Moore, Jimi Hendrix, The Who, U2, Scorpions, Judas Priest, Mark Haze, Pearl Jam, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kiss, The White Stripes, Godsmack, Creed, System of the Down, Ace Frehley, Iron Maiden, Mötley Crüe, Skid Row, Cold Chisel, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Ace Frehley,The Story of Rock and Roll.

This is just a short little tribute that I did on the Story of Rock and Roll radio show, Turbo Edition which runs from Fridays between 6pm and 7pm on Rebel Rock Radio and Blldogs Radio. Ace Frehley passed away last night, and he changed my world. Without Ace Frehley, I don't know if I'd ever have picked up a guitar, so this was a little ad hoc tribute to the man. It was from the heart and off the cuff.  The Story of Rock and Roll.
