UAWIL #21: The Cult - Love

The Ugly American Werewolf in London Rock Podcast ·

2021/04/15

The Cult may have been catapulted into the spotlight and on MTV with Fire Woman from Sonic Temple. But they shaped their sound best on their 2nd album, Love. Released in 1985, it contained solid radio hits like She Sells Sanctuary and Rain but it was a cohesive record that established their hard rock, psychedelic, atmospheric sound which is hard to imitate and to define. This is a go to record for The Wolf and the best album by Action Jackson's favorite band. Ugly American Werewolf in London

The Ugly American Werewolf in London Rock Podcast ·

2021/04/08

YES came out of the 60s and forged their own identity through extraordinary musicianship, intricate songs and fantastic artwork. While some hits have kept them on classic rock for decades, the different eras and lineups over the last 50 years have created a catalog like none other. So whether you like the 20 minute epics, the uber popular Owner of a Lonely Heart or don't know much about the band, our examination will peel back some layers and appreciate this special group.

UAWIL #19: Metallica - The Black Album

The Ugly American Werewolf in London Rock Podcast ·

2021/04/01

Prior to 1988, Metallica hadn't made a video for MTV & couldn't get on rock radio. The release of One changed that but it was the release of 1991's Metallica (The Black Album) that forever changed their fate & fortunes. With 5 hit singles & a 2.5 year worldwide tour, Metallica usurped Guns n Roses as the biggest band in the world and never looked back. We recall seeing them on that tour, our memories of the album and what it means to us today. Ugly American Werewolf in London Website Ugly American

2021/03/25

Before The Joshua Tree, U2 were upstart heroes looking to conquer, and make a difference in, the world. Thanks to some amazing songs, brilliant production and constant promotion by MTV, this album skyrocketed them to superstar status and gave them the platform to not only branch out into other forms of music but allow them to have a positive impact around the globe.

UAWIL #17: KISS Alive II

The Ugly American Werewolf in London Rock Podcast ·

2021/03/18

Released in 1976, KISS Alive! changed the fortunes of KISS and transitioned them from a strong opening act to an international headliner. This success forced the band to come up with the goods in the studio and they were up to the task with Destroyer, Rock & Roll Over and Love Gun. These records gave us songs that would strengthen KISS's hold on the public and allow them to tour for decades. Alive II captures the best songs from the catalog with the band at the height of their powers before success

In 1989, The Rolling Stones hadn't toured for 8 years, they're past few records didn't sell well and Mick & Keith were fighting and releasing solo records.

The Ugly American Werewolf in London Rock Podcast ·

2021/03/04

By 1976, The Eagles had sold millions of records and done successful tours. But lineup changes, infighting and the pressures of being a big rock band were starting to weigh on the band. From that, they released Greatest Hits Vol 1 which went on to become the biggest selling album of all-time and Hotel California, their greatest triumph as a hard rock band.

2021/02/25

Iron Maiden has earned their place in the pantheons of hard rock & heavy metal. Their 1985 live album, Live After Death, from the 190 date World Slavery Tour is a great souvenir from a moment in time.

At the end of the 70s, Black Sabbath had lost their way. The excess of the decade and the departure of Ozzy Osbourne left the future of the band in limbo.

UAWIL #12: Alchemy - Dire Straits

The Ugly American Werewolf in London Rock Podcast ·

2021/02/11

Recorded in 1983 at Hammersmith Odeon, Alchemy captures Dire Straits at their tightest and showcases the extraordinary talents of Mark Knopfler as a guitar hero. They slow it down with classic tracks like Romeo & Juliet but rock out on Solid Rock. They also stretch out some songs to give all band members a chance to shine, sometimes slowing things down only to build into a crescendo on Sultans of Swing. This double live masterpiece offers the epitome of what Dire Straits offered as a live band

The Ugly American Werewolf in London Rock Podcast ·

2021/02/04

For the MTV Generation, the summer of 1983 can't be remembered without the sounds of Synchronicity by The Police. The album vaulted The Police to international megastardom, sent Sting's stock soaring even higher, boosted MTV to greater cultural significance, and broke up the band for more than two decades. We remember buying the cassette & LP and recall our first real encounters with rock n roll of our own. Ugly American Werewolf in London Website Ugly American Werewolf in London Store - Get your

2021/01/28

Released in 1979, Led Zeppelin's In Through the Out Door doesn't usually make it to the top of most hard rockers fave album lists. But The Wolf thinks this masterpiece has aged quite well and given us a glimpse into what might have been for a proggier, more democratic and experimental Led Zeppelin. We go track by track and compare it to the rest of the catalog while relaying our personal experiences with LZ and seeing Jimmy Page & Robert Plant live.

Growing up in America during the early 80s, MTV was a cultural touchstone for a generation of kids. In 1983, with the assistance of super producer Mutt Lange, Def Leppard released the chart-topping sensation Pyromania. The classic claims 3 MTV video hits and a special place in the hearts of hard rockers everywhere. 38 years after its release and 30 years after the tragic loss of guitarist Steve Clark, we revisit this treasure.
