Welcome to another episode of The Story of Rock and Roll Show.  S7E25 went out on Rebel Rock Radio at 19h00 on 20 June 2024.    This week the show came to you from Sedgefield in the Western Cape.  There is a very different vibe down here, nothing like the madness and dysfunctionality of Johannesburg, I could live here.  Anyway,  back to the show, we had a ton of good stuff as we always do, it's a good mix of everything.   

This week we went with a Twisted Triplet and had three tracks called ‘Bad Habits’.  Thin Lizzy, Thundermother, and The Monks did the honours.      

 In the evolution of the Foo Fighters we have reached the Sonic Highways album, we listened to ‘In The Clear’.    

Immortals this week came from Iron Maiden, specifically the title track off 1988’s Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.    

The Diabolical Challenge has started again at the beginning of the alphabet.  We looked at four bands beginning with the letter ‘A'.  The idea is that we have 4 albums, and you can only pick one.  This week we had: 

Airbourne – Runnin’ Wild

Arapaho – Wicked Wonder

Alice Cooper – Billion Dollar Babies 

Arch Enemy – Sunset Over the Empire 

Finally, Bomb Crocodile and Slow Panda’s Picks of the Week were Bob Dylan’s ‘Tombstone Blues’ for Bomb Croc and Slow Panda chose System of a Down’s ‘Sugar’.
