UAWIL #78: Oasis - UK vs USA with Paul from Vin...
In the 90s, Oasis took over popular culture and rock music in the UK. As the country moved out of Thatcherism and into a new era of Cool Britainnia, the Gallagher Brothers, Noel & Liam, led the way with their Beatles-esque string of hit singles and albums. However, in the US they never quite got the traction they assumed was inevitable to rule North America as well as England. Why is that? Was it the Gallaghers' constant fighting? Their unabashed cockiness? Their untamed unibrows? The Wolf has struggled for years to get more of his US friends to understand the greatness of Oasis and their melodies so we explore the UK phenomenon of Oasis with Paul Stephenson from Vintage Rock Pod & This Day Rocks to understand what it was like to grow up in the UK during those heady times. As the Liam and Noel are set to start their own tours of the UK, which of the Gallaghers are you most likely to see live?A Proud Member of the Pantheon Podcast Networkhttps://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/werewolf@ugly_werewolf@actionjax72https://www.vintagerockpod.com/@vintagerockpod

UAWIL #77: The Cars - Heartbeat City
In 1984, MTV was the key to any bands success in the US. The Cars had a stellar debut in 1978 but while they continued to have hit singles, they hadn't been able to live up to the promise of their first album. The went to London to record their fifth album, Heartbeat City, with producer Mutt Lange who was on a hot streak with Highway to Hell, Back in Black, Foreigner 4, and Pyromania. Ric Ocasek was the lead songwriter and sang lead on most of the songs but thanks to MTV he became an icon thanks to their groundbreaking videos like You Might Think, Magic & Drive. One of the true soundtracks to the summer of 1984, this was The Cars at their height but it wouldn't last.A proud member of the Pantheon Podcast network www.pantheonpodcasts.comhttps://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/werewolf@ugly_werewolf@actionjax72

Tom & Zeus have the #1 KISS podcast on the planet in Shout It Out Loudcast. Not only do they have deep knowledge and undeniable passion for KISS but they're also hilarious and we never miss an episode. So this week we had our Pantheon Podcasts brothers on to talk KISS's 1992 album, Revenge. The first without Eric Carr behind the drums, the first for Eric Singer, and the first time in a decade they worked with Vinnie Vincent & Bob Ezrin. We had a blast remembering college days, listening to tunes, watching KISS X-treme Close-Up, seeing the Revenge Tour and late night conversations with Ace Frehley posters. If you're not having fun talking KISS, you're doing it wrong!!A proud member of the Pantheon Podcast Networkhttps://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/shoutitoutloudcasthttps://www.shoutitoutloudcast.com/@ugly_werewolf@actionjax72https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/werewolf?selected=PAN7737851879

Pink Floyd helped create progressive rock music in the 1960s and started out playing clubs in London with elaborate light shows. In the 1970s they became one of the biggest bands in the world with platinum records and record breaking tours. Nick Mason, the only member of Pink Floyd to never leave the group, has convened with some friends to revisit the pre-Dark Side of the Moon catalog and breathe new life into these often forgotten classics. With the help of long-time Pink Floyd collaborator Guy Pratt on bass & vocals, his Rockonteurs partner Gary Kemp on guitar & vocals, Lee Harris (guitar) & Dom Beken (keyboards they provide an extraordinary show.The Wolf scored a last minute seat to see them at the renowned Royal Albert Hall in London....in the front row!! I basically sat on the stage and marveled at these extraordinary musicians take on this incredibly special collection of songs from the 60s and early 70s. It was one of the most special nights of my life when it comes to seeing live music and I share it all with you on our 75th episode.A proud member of the Pantheon Podcast Network@ugly_werewolf@actionjax72
