Hey mothertruckers, we’re Bach in the saddle with Part 2 of our series on Sebastian Bach‘s 18 and Life on Skid Row!

Join us again in two weeks when we discuss the first half of the late Meat Loaf‘s To Hell and Back! Rock it up!

Dystopian Book Club Podcast: Ace Frehley’s No Regrets

Listen to us talk about Ace’s propensity for driving under the influence and analyze the similarities and differences between his and Gene Simmons’ sides of the story–or, put another way, just listen to us bash Gene for another 90 minutes. We’re pretty sure Ace would approve. Show notes are below, and we’ll be back in the New Year with the next installment: Makeup to Breakup
by Peter Criss.
