Decibel Geek Podcast

This edition of the DBG Times covers a wide range of rock and metal history, along with notable Rockstar Deathdays honoring Phil Lynott, Neil Peart, Steve Clark, Eddie Clarke, Sylvain Sylvain, and John Sykes.

Looking back 10 years to 2016, the show revisits releases from Black Sabbath and Megadeth, including Sabbath’s final studio-era material and Megadeth’s well-received return to a heavier, more classic sound.

From 2001, we highlight Turn 21 by The Donnas, an album that helped solidify their identity and garner more recognition.

Going back 30 years to 1996, the discussion includes albums from Accept and Mr. Big, reflecting a challenging era as traditional hard rock and metal faced shifting trends.

At 35 years (1991), we touch on notable releases by David Lee Roth, Drivin' N Cryin', and Motörhead, showcasing the variety of sounds coming out of the early ’90s.

Looking at 1986, we revisit Seventh Star by Black Sabbath and the long-delayed debut of White Lion, two releases with very different paths and outcomes.

From 1981, the episode covers peak-era albums by 38 Special, April Wine, and Styx, all enjoying major commercial success during this period.

Jumping back 50 years to 1976, we discuss releases from Bad Company and Grand Funk Railroad, each facing internal and external challenges at different points in their careers.

Wrapping up the historical portion at 55 years (1971), we explore early albums from ZZ Top, Mountain, Lucifer's Friend, and Dust, capturing the formative years of heavy rock and metal.

The episode also includes a rundown of new rock and metal releases, featuring recent albums from Alter Bridge, Bullet, Kreator, Gluecifer, Helix, and a final studio release tied to the farewell era of Megadeth.

We hope you enjoy our look back through the month of January in this edition of the DBG Times and SHARE with a friend.

John Corabi explains how he got the “Crabby” nickname and says it isn’t what most people assume.

A posthumous John Sykes EP is coming, set for release through Golden Robot Records (editor note - recorded before Sykes family statment).

Stephen Pearcy on his refusal to use backing tracks (and a wild story from Aaron on that subject).

Angel announces a farewell tour planned for 2026–2027.

The official Judas Priest documentary The Ballad Of Judas Priest is set to premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Metallica says negotiations are about 90% complete for a 2027 Las Vegas Sphere residency.

An actor has reportedly been chosen to play Ozzy Osbourne in the upcoming biopic.
