Bobaflex frontman supports petition to have current version of KISS remake Phantom of the Park Minneapolis, MN (June 27th, 2016) - Bobaflex frontman Shaun McCoy, in an unhinged and music industry heavy discussion, announces his support to have KISS remake Phantom of the Park, the evils of booking agents and 360 record deals, Spotify’s penny paychecks and moving towards a model of EPs vs LPs. Prior to taking the stage supporting their latest album Anything That Moves, McCoy shares in depth stories with Bakko from topics including: Disturbed covering their cover of "Sound Of Silence” Doing cocaine onscreen throughout the entire “Mama (Don’t Take My Drugs Away)” video shoot Tales from the Gigantour Challenges of touring, labels, realistic sales expectations Jalapeno Mustard, Bananas John Stamos Acapella KORN The band using Planet Fitness to shower on tour Forcing his bandmates to watch the Dolly Parton / Stallone Movie Rhinestone Love for bad 80’s KISS Ungrateful Star Wars & Marvel fans About: Shaun McCoy is a co-lead singer of the band Bobaflex. The two frontmen, brothers Shaun and Marty McCoy, trade guitar and lead vocals, depending on the song. Its first label went bankrupt shortly after signing them and Bobaflex spent the next few years engaged in legal battles and turmoil. The band’s 2011 album Hell in my Heart features a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence. Charlatan's Web was released in 2013 and the band toured and released videos for, "Bad Man", "Never Coming Back", "I'm Glad You're Dead", and "Losing My Mind", the latter of which was the band's first animated music video. In 2015, the band released Anything That Moves featuring the singles “Mama (Don’t Take My Drugs Away)" and "Dry Your Eyes." http://www.theofficialbobaflex.com/ https://www.instagram.com/therealbobaflex/ https://twitter.com/bobaflex https://www.youtube.com/user/theofficialbobaflex/feed https://www.facebook.com/Bobaflex Cobras & Fire is a rock podcast with a silly name focused on sharing new music from bands that have the hooks, melody and attitude of classic rock bands.

1991 (Part 2) Bakko & LC continue to prove that the story we've all been sold that a magic bullet from 3 stinky coffee-drinking bastards from Seattle in 1991 killed rock dead is a load of bullshit. Don't believe the hype! It's not that simple. 1991 had more landmark albums and sales success than any other year before or after. Get schooled again with more Podcast gold.

Prince! Bakko and LC debate Darling Nikki lyrics (masturbating "with" or "in" a magazine?), Purple Rain plotholes, Prince going door to door as a Jehovah's witness, Chapelle show skits. Plus, as Bakko is a Minneapolis native, he breaks down visiting Paisley Park, the 1st Avenue block party and Graffiti Bridge. This ep is for both Superfans and those that just own and/or saw Purple Rain.

Bakko & LC are back with Double Shots of new music from Volbeat, Anthrax, Megadeth and two great new bands: Heaven's Basement & The Treatment. Friend of the show Todd Cunningham also does a show review of a Volbeat / Black Stone Cherry / Monster Truck concert. Horns up!

Ep 36: Alice Cooper - Modern Era (2003 - NOW) We discuss the albums Eyes, Dirty Diamonds, Spider, Nightmare 2 and Hollywood Vampires. The mere mention of one of these albums causes a 5 + minute rant of furious anger. This ep is chock full of great music clips and a bonus track of an interview with Dick Wagner courtesy of Decibel Geek. We hope you've enjoyed the journey. Thanks for listening from Loose Cannon, Bakko, Joey, Chris, Rob and Rob Kern.

Ep 35: Alice Cooper - Morality Era (94 -01) We discuss the albums Last Temptation, Brutal Planet & Dragontown in this super-sized ep loaded with great music and banter. Rob Kern of Loud, Drunk & Angry and From Out of Nowhere joins along with Joey of Rock Strikes Ten. In the first part of the ep we begin discussing the Morality Era with Rob Kern, a man who lacks a moral compass. We had a structured plan for a 20 minute intro but quickly turns into madness. And podcast gold. The second part with Joey has more details on the era but is just as ridiculous. Plus Bakko premieres our new Cobras & Fire song cowritten by Little Johnny Cougar!

Can you name of the extremely similar song and band that leads into STP's "Art School Girlfriend" at the end of the Ep? (Fact: It came out first)

C&F Reunion Tour Ep 1: Bakko and LC are back! Again! After an extended Cobras break, the Fire has been broughten. We recorded four eps in one night and get crazy Loose over countless beers. We had an agenda. We had a plan. It went sideways. What was intended to be a quick recap of Bakko's press pass adventure at Crue/Cooper on 12/8/15 morphed into a 45 minute rant about everything Motley. Remember kids, all bad things end with Chipotle. Keep the car running. Rock Vocal Power! *****Look out for more soon (once we find the time to edit). We recorded over three hours of Cobra gold with discussions of Weiland, Eagles of Death Metal, RRHOF nominees, Top Albums of the year and much, much more.

In this ep Bakko talks about Ratt's dysfunction while doing a perfect Bobby Blotzer impersonation, David Draiman having a baby with Sully Erna, his "band crushes" on Wilson and Crobot and introduces something that will revolutionize Podcasting: The LC GEN 3K Sex Robot (Loose Cannon Generator 3000).
