Decibel Geek Podcast

We’re back with another edition of Geekwire, bringing you the latest, greatest, and dumbest rock and metal news from around the world!

This time around, we’re talking about the reported circumstances surrounding Sid Wilson’s exit from Slipknot, while members of Cinderella sound increasingly open to the idea of getting the band back on the road; but which ones?

Also, Nikki Sixx addresses the allegations of Mötley Crüe’s use of backing tracks and pushes back on criticism of the band’s live performances, Phil Lewis discusses the surprising new look that has him feeling liberated, and Theory of a Deadman’s Tyler Connolly explains where the shortened “Theory” name actually came from.

Elsewhere, Geoff Tate apparently has his sights set on sharpening his skills in the kitchen, Glenn Hughes announces his retirement from touring and live performances, and Blackie Lawless shares a message of support for former W.A.S.P. guitarist Chris Holmes.

Plus, John 5 recruits Wednesday 13 for The Creatures in 2027, Michael Sweet reveals a major change to the guitar lineup on Stryper’s upcoming Throne of Thorns album, and Motörhead enters the world of immersive entertainment with a new KnuckleBonz360 partnership.

We’ve got opinions, reactions, tangents, and probably a few arguments along the way.

It’s all happening on the latest Geekwire from the Decibel Geek Podcast.

We’re back with another edition of the Radio Sucks Radio Show, serving up ten tracks you probably won’t hear during your average afternoon of corporate radio repetition.

Chris has five killer cuts from Lost Circus, Blacktop Mojo, Audrey Horne, John Diva and the Rockets of Love, and Speed Stroke.

Aaron digs into the archives with selections from Rose Tattoo, Quiet Riot, Jackyl, Tom Keifer, and David Lee Roth.

It’s another mix of brand-new music, overlooked album tracks, deep cuts, and songs deserving a bigger audience. Which picks hit the hardest? Which ones have been hiding in plain sight? You’ll have to listen and find out.

We’ll also be at The Mountain Music Fest, happening August 21–23, 2026, at the Gatlinburg Convention Center in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Come hang out with us for a full weekend of rock in the Smoky Mountains.

We’re back with another edition of DBG Times, covering the rockers we lost, milestone album anniversaries, and a packed slate of new releases.

In Rockstar Deathdays, we remember Jim Morrison, Jeff LaBar, Gary Corbett, Dick Wagner, Wayne Charvel, Jennifer Finch, and the legendary Ozzy Osbourne.

This month’s album anniversaries cover an enormous range of rock history. We look back at Heart’s Beautiful Broken, Billy Talent’s Afraid of Heights, the hard-rock detour of Chrome Division, and the long-awaited New York Dolls comeback album One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This.

We also revisit Judas Priest’s controversial Ripper Owens era with Demolition, the internal turmoil surrounding the Black Crowes’ Three Snakes and One Charm, and Alice Cooper’s star-studded Hey Stoopid.

Other anniversaries include the killer Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey soundtrack, David Lee Roth’s supergroup debut Eat ’Em and Smile, Motörhead’s Orgasmatron, Def Leppard’s breakthrough-building High ’n’ Dry, the Ramones’ conflicted Pleasant Dreams, Funkadelic’s dark and groundbreaking Maggot Brain, and the heavy Welsh debut from Budgie.

We wrap things up with July’s new releases, including fresh music from Deep Purple, the Rolling Stones, Smoking Snakes, Tesla, Coven Japan, Zan/Cody, Five Finger Death Punch, and Sinner’s twenty-first and final studio album.

It’s another trip through rock history, loaded with stories, arguments, memories, and plenty of albums worth revisiting.

We hope you enjoy DBG Times for July and SHARE with a friend.

Beat the Geek Returns: Three Challengers, Three Rounds, and a Whole Lotta Rock Trivia

It’s time for another edition of Beat the Geek—the rock trivia game show that goes to 11!

This time around, three serious music nerds step up to test their hard rock and heavy metal knowledge against the Decibel Geek crew. Professional bass player and music obsessive Donovan White joins the fight, alongside Alex Alt of the Sly Dog Music-Cast and LC from the Cobras & Fire Podcast.

We’ve got three rounds of questions, questionable confidence, deep-cut knowledge, and plenty of chances for somebody to look like a genius—or suddenly forget everything they have ever known about rock and roll.

Donovan and LC take on Chris, while Alex faces Aaron in a special Reverse Beat the Geek round. Chris handles the questions while Aaron takes the hot seat against Alex. The tables have turned, the pressure is on, and nobody is safe.

And because this is Beat the Geek, every round includes a KISS Round. Those questions are worth double points, with points going either to the competitor or their opponent depending on whether the answer is right. In other words: one KISS question can make you a hero, ruin your whole afternoon, or both.

Can Donovan’s bass-player brain carry him past Chris? Will LC bring the Cobras & Fire chaos to the scoreboard? Can Alex knock Aaron off his game in Reverse Beat the Geek?

Hit play and find out.

Listen now to Beat the Geek—the game show that goes to 11!
