As Ray says early on, this may be the biggest, most explosive, long lasting, nasty #SiblingRivalry that they boys have discussed so far! Noel, the middle brother, and Liam, the little brother formed one of the biggest bands to impact the 1990s, with record-breaking U.K. chart impact, massive worldwide airplay and sales, AND a big ole' lump on their noggin' from all of the sparring! Their songs brought the limelight on this pair of brotherly knuckleheads, and along the way their boorish behavior wore

Author Jon Wiederhorn brings his extensive experience to the table in this episode that sets sights on looking into how "the heavy stuff" moved forward from what we have referred to as "The Bronze Age."

2023/05/29

Oh the times they were a-changin' alright by 1967! Something was in the air in the United States, and globally. In the U.S., it was a social/political/cultural shift, embraced mostly by young people at first. Social change was being fueled by racial tensions, and a break with the past by a new generation, who in many cases shared the politics and struggle of civil rights, as well as opposition to the Vietnam War. The epicenter of The Summer Of Love was San Francisco, but there were other cities that

Markus started with a Core 4: Living Colour, Faith No More, The Cult and Jane's Addiction, but he and Ray quickly found many other bands that fueled the need for The Bridge, and others who helped complete it, along with the arrival of the 1990s! It's a pivotal time in Rock History, as the AOR acts traditionally embraced by radio in The States, many of which had become bland and predictable, began to fade. In their place, a new breed; louder and more brash! The collective impact changed the sonic

The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll ·

2023/05/15

This is Janis Joplin's story by way of our Imbalanced Brothers! It's told with affection, and a ton of the music. The tale of "little girl blue," and why her Blues were so sad. It's about The Sixties, it's about the San Francisco Scene, The Haight...the bands! It's about Big Brother meets Pearl, and sadly, it's about her death... Vegas is laying solid odds on there being more Janis in the journey that is the Imbalanced History podcast. Email the boys at imbalancedhistory@gmail.com, or make a comment
