Free Form Rock Podcast Episode 522-Dreamcar-Dreamcar🎙️This week on America’s Podcast... we answer a question literally no one was asking: what happens when the guy from AFI crashes Gwen Stefani’s garage band practice? You get Dreamcar—the most ‘80s band to be born three decadestoo late. Is it a glorious throwback or a glitter-covered time machine crash? Are they the future of retro or should they have just left that sound buried next to a broken Walkman? No spoilers (as always), but we dive in like it’s 1985 and we’re wearing parachute pants and Aqua Net. We’re joined by the ever-stylis...

We’re diving deep into Megadeth’s Peace Sells... but Who’s Buying? Is this album a thrashterpiece worthy of our hard-earned Reagan-era cash, or does it bomb harder than a VCR instructional video? No spoilers—but trust us, it gets louder than Mustaine’s ego. Helping us sift through the rubble are special guests Tim Wirasnik and Travis Perrotta, who bring their musical...

Free Form Rock Podcast Episode 518-Filter-The Amalgamut🎙️ This Week on The BS! Sessions 🎙️ Episode Title: "The Amalgamut, a Mooger Flyby, and a Whole Lotta Rock!" This week on America’s favorite barely-controlled audio trainwreck, we dove headfirst into Filter's ‘The Amalgamut’—a criminally underrated album that dares to ask, "What if industrial rock had feelings... and a gym membership?" Our resident man of mystery, Mooger, was “on assignment” (which we assume means chasing down the last copy of Fear Factory's CD at a truck stop in Bakersfield), but he swung by for a quick “Yo!” before vanishing into the podcasting ether. Joining the mayhem were two cer...

Free Form Rock Podcast Episode 515-Counting Crows'-August and Everything AfterThis Week on America’s Podcast Strap in, folks—this week we're diving headfirst into a swirling pool of flannel, feelings, and post-grunge gloom as we break down Counting Crows' August and Everything After with guests Travis Perrotta and Andy Rodriguez. Is this album a poetic masterpiece or just the sound of someone staring out a rainy window with a journal and a half-smoked cigarette? We ask the tough questions—like: Is this what happens when you quit heroin but keep the angst? And did Adam Duritz invent sad guy core? Tensions rise, opinions fly, and someone may...

Joining us for this sonic pilgrimage are Travis Perrotta and Andy Rodriguez to help decide—does this album “Bullet the Blue Sky” or make you want to “Exit” because you “Still Haven’t Found What You’re Looking For”? No spoilers—but Bono might be lurking in your conscience. Tracks of the Week: Jerry picks Giant’s “I’ll See You In My Dreams” – pure 80s power-ballad magic, Aqua Net sold separately.

Free Form Rock Podcast Episode 510-Depeche Mode-Black CelebrationThis week on America’s Podcast, it’s Black Celebration—or Black Condemnation, depending on who you ask! Jerry wanted an album to tear apart, so Marc handed him one he adores. Will Jerry respect the synth gods, or will he spread blasphemous rumors? Can Mooger be the tie-breaker, or will he just sit back with popcorn? And most importantly—will Marc go full Jerry, but not tonight? No spoilers, but let’s just say emotions will be stripped. Tracks of the Week: ▶️ Marc: The Seventh Stranger – Duran Duran (because the ‘80s never die) ▶️ Mooger: Everything – Sevendust (because...

Free Form Rock Podcast Episode 508-6 Albums That Divided FanbasesThis week on America’s Podcast, we’re diving into six albums that split fanbases like a badly mixed record. Love them or loathe them, these albums had fans either throwing their fists in the air or throwing their CDs out the window. First up, Queensrÿche – Hear In the Now Frontier—where prog-metal legends decided to strip things down, leaving fans wondering if they’d just wandered into the wrong album. Then, Mötley Crüe – Theater of Pain—the moment the Crüe traded in their sleazy Sunset Strip grit for glam and a whole lot of hairspray.

Free Form Rock Podcast Episode 507-Elton John-Goodbye Yellow Brick RoadThis week on America’s Podcast, we hitch a ride down the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road to see if Elton John’s classic still rocks—or if it just blows like a candle in the wind (no spoilers, but we ain’t packing up our bags just yet). Helping us navigate this glitter-covered, piano-fueled journey are Travis Perrotta and Andy Rodriguez, who bring their hot takes and questionable life choices to the table. And of course, we’ve got Tracks of the Week to keep your ears entertained: Marc – Gone (Live) by U2 (Because Bono refuses to be forgot...

Joining us are Chris Czynszak from The Decibel Geek Podcast and Bushy AKA Nate Atchison from The Plug Music and More Podcast. So what happens when four hardcore KISS nerds and one poor soul who just kinda likes KISS sit down to discuss the Asylum era? Well… let’s just say things get louder than Paul Stanley’s stage banter in ‘86! But hey—no spoilers! You’ll have to listen to the madness yourself.

Free Form Rock Podcast Episode 504-Blue Murder-Blue MurderThis week on America’s Podcast, we dive into the self-titled debut of Blue Murder—an album packed with enough guitar wizardry to make even your air guitar feel inadequate. But does it still rock as hard as its reputation, or is it just another relic of hairspray-fueled excess? No spoilers, but let’s just say we have thoughts. We also take a moment to honor the late, great John Sykes, a guitar hero who shredded his way into rock history. His influence is undeniable, but does this album showcase his finest work? Tune in to find out!

Buckle up, metalheads, because this week we welcome the mighty Favio Vegas to the show as we dive headfirst into the sonic chaos of Flemming Rasmussen’s legendary trilogy—the three Metallica albums that melted faces, shattered speakers, and arguably set a bar so high even Metallica themselves never quite climbed back over it. Yep, we’re talking about Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and …And Justice for All! Are these truly the best Metallica albums ever? Did the band peak in '88? And is Flemming Rasm...

Free Form Rock Podcast Episode 502-Saigon Kick-The Lizard This week on America’s Podcast, the gang is back with Guest Travis Perrotta to take a deep dive into the slippery world of Saigon Kick’s iconic album The Lizard. Was Matt Kramer the best vocalist for them? Or was he just the lizard king who could do anything? These burning questions are tackled with the kind of wit and wisdom you’d expect from a group who likely argued over the pronunciation of "Saigon" for at least ten minutes before recording. Tracks of the Week brought the heat: Marc shook things up with Shake the Tree by...

Free Form Rock Podcast Episode 499- Savatage-The Wake of MagellanThis week on America’s Podcast, we dive into the stormy seas of Savatage’s The Wake of Magellan—and let’s just say, the ship isn’t exactly steady.

Things get salty, shade gets thrown, and at least one person forgets the golden rule of podcasting: always pick a track! Spoiler alert: feelings are hurt, egos are bruised, and the laughs get mean. #FriendshipGoals Tracks of the Week: Marc: “Della Brown” by Queensrÿche – Bringing smooth prog energy to a spicy episode.
