The Story of Rock and Roll: S9E8

S9E12 went out live from the TSORR Studio on Myoli Beach on 19 Mar 2026 at 19h00 on Bulldogs Radio.  It was a great show, upbeat and full of fun, despite the drama that seems to surround us these days.  The sad passing of Motörheads Phil Campbell at the age of 64 took me by surprise, so we paid our respects to Phil.  I had a great interview with Mark Biagio of the Fismits and listened to his brand-new track, which is being released on 20 March, so check that out. I also played some more Springbok Nude Girls to make amends for last week.  Dan Patlansky featured on the new Ruff Majik track.  I call this Metal Dan, and I love it.   The diabolical challenge was fun with the hard rock heroes Gary Moore, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Marino, and Ted Nugent, and we chilled out nicely with Pink Floyd’s masterpiece 'Time' in the Immortals slot.      Check out the website: www.thestoryofrockandroll.com.

S9E11 went out live from the TSORR Studio on Myoli Beach on 12 Mar 2026 at 19h00 on Bulldogs Radio.  It was a strange show. Audience numbers are dwindling on Bulldogs, and now that I have shut down Rebel Rock, I may have to rethink. I'll see how long we can keep this thing going for, but I suspect I will have to find another home for the Live show soon.  The one thing that didn't work was the Springbok Nude Girls track I've called ‘Total Shit’ because it came up as 'Blue Eyes' but it's just one of those awful trumpet/warble jams they sometimes do. I suggest skipping from about 2:00 to 2:07. Other than that, it was great. Enjoyed it. Hope you do too.      Check out the website: www.thestoryofrockandroll.com  all the video, interviews and bonus materials for the show are on the site.     If you want to be on the mailing list for all the weekly videos and documentaries of show-related material send an email to:  [email protected] Artists featured:   Rival Sons, Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons, Danko Jones, Dio, Led Zeppelin, Wishbone Ash, The Lazys, ACDC, Jimmy Barnes, Brave Rival, Jasper Dan, Black Label Society, Dave Hause, Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, R.E.M., Pantera, Hell Yeah, Collective Soul, Disturbed, Big Country, Motley Crue, KISS, Metallica, The Smashing Pumpkins, Springbok Nude Girls, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jonny Winter, Rory Gallagher, Shinedown, St. Aurora, Palaye Royale, Kickin’ Valentina, Annihilator, OverkillThe Story of Rock and Roll.  TSORR - Your one-stop shop for Rock

S9E10 went out live from the TSORR Studio on Myoli Beach on 5 Mar 2026 at 19h00 on Bulldogs Radio.  Tough show, the music was great, but technically it was a nightmare.  I have fixed it and spliced it together; there may be a few blank places where the mic cut out. Hang in there, it will come back.  Some days are diamonds, some days are rocks.  We wrapped up the 2nd playoff for the Diabolical Challenge.  Over the last four weeks, we've been listening to the greatest live albums ever made, and the four finalists from those four weeks went through to this episode's Diabolical Challenge. You can hear how it plays out about two-thirds of the way through the show.     Check out the website: www.thestoryofrockandroll.com  all the video, interviews and bonus materials for the show are on the site.     If you want to be on the mailing list for all the weekly videos and documentaries of show-related material, send an email to:  [email protected] you all for the support. Artists featured: Accept, Judas Priest, Van Halen, Foo Fighters, Texas Hippie Coalition, All Them Witches, Hinder, Sophie Lloyd, Brave Rival, Star Circus, Thin Lizzy, Triumph, Rush, Boston, Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden, Motörhead, Guns N' Roses, Black Sabbath, The Clash, John Frusciante, Metallica, ACDC, Peter Frampton, Bruce Springsteen, David Gilmour, Skid Row, Trouble, Michael schenker, The Halo EffectThe Story of Rock and Roll.  TSORR - Your one-stop shop for Rock

S9E5 went out live from the TSORR Studio on Myoli Beach on 29 January 2026 at 19h00 on Bulldogs Radio.  It's a great show. Once again, I have my daughter with me in the studio; this time, we were a bit more out of control.  The whole 3 hours went very quickly.  The Diabolical Challenge first-quarter final played out and we have a winner.  You can hear it play out around 120 min in.    The highlight of the show was Linda losing a bet about her dad sitting with Ringo Starr at a club in Rhodesia.  She had to listen to listen to 4 heavy tracks i.e. typical TSORR fare.  Please do vote on the Diabolical Challenge every week on The Story of Rock and Roll Facebook page.

S9E4 went out live from the TSORR Studio on Myoli Beach on 22 January 2026 at 19h00 on Bulldogs Radio.  It's a great show. My daughter was with me in the studio, and it was great having her here to chat while we played the music we love. The Diabolical Challenge was a tie for the first time, so I have to do some work to pull a winner out for next week's playoff.  Probably a coin toss.  It was a great show, something for everyone here.  Please do vote on the Diabolical Challenge every week on The Story of Rock and Roll Facebook page.
