Welcome to Couch Potato Theater, where we celebrate our favorite movies on the Fandom Podcast Network! One this episode we celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Rob Reiner's Rockumentary music comedy masterpiece "This Is SPINAL TAP' (1984).
This Is Spinal Tap (also known as This Is Spın̈al Tap: A Rockumentary by Martin Di Bergi) is a 1984 American mockumentary comedy film co-written and directed by Rob Reiner (in his feature directorial debut). The film stars Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer as members of the heavy metal band Spinal Tap, who are characterized as "one of England's loudest bands". Reiner plays Martin "Marty" Di Bergi, a documentary filmmaker who follows them on their American tour. The film satirizes the behavior and life on the road of rock bands. Most of its dialogue was improvised and dozens of hours were filmed.

HAIR METAL Podcast EP.24: Hear 'N Aid (1986) "Stars" An All-Star Album For Famine Relief.
The Hair Metal Podcast looks back at the Thrash, Glam & Rock Pop Metal bands, music, events and everything else that heavily influenced the 80's & early 90's Hair Metal music era. On this episode of the Hair Metal Podcast, hosts Kevin and Mike discuss the monumental metal music event of the 80's, Hear 'N Aid (1986) "Stars" An All-Star Album For Famine Relief.
Hear 'n Aid was a charity record recorded by a large ensemble of 40 heavy metal musicians and released in 1986. The project was organized by Ronnie James Dio, Jimmy Bain, and Vivian Campbell, all from the band Dio. Proceeds from the album were used to raise over $3 million for famine relief in Africa. The 40 metal and rock musicians were gathered together by Dio and recorded the single "Stars" together while the rest of the album was filled out with eight other tracks, several of which were contributed by artists who were on tour and unable to attend and participate in the mass recording session. A music video was released as well, produced during the recording sessions. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:)

The Hair Metal Podcast cover bands that reached several levels of popularity and notoriety during the mid to late 1980's "Hair Metal" explosion. We take an in-depth look into the bands that defined the style and sound of Hair Metal, and many other bands that may or may not be categorized as Hair metal, but did reach some popularity during the Hair Metal rush of the 1980's.
Def Leppard formed in 1977 in Sheffield and is considered part of the new wave of British heavy metal movement. Since 1992, the band has consisted of Joe Elliott (lead vocals), Rick Savage (bass, backing vocals), Rick Allen (drums, backing vocals), Phil Collen (guitars, backing vocals), and Vivian Campbell (guitars, backing vocals), which has been the band's longest running line-up. They are one of only five rock bands with two original studio albums selling more than ten million copies in the US. The band were ranked No. 31 in VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" and ranked No. 70 in "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". Def Leppard were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.
Kevin and Adam discuss the origin of Def Leppard in the late 1970's and early 1980's which include their break out years with MTV in the 80's and early 90's. They also discuss the longevity of Def Leppard and how they are more popular than ever now. Kevin also has a Rock N' Roll T-Shirt check with Adam and and discuss the controversial TV movie "Hysteria - The Def Leppard Story".

We take an in-depth look into the bands that defined the style and sound of Hair Metal, and many other bands that may or may not be categorized as Hair metal, but did reach some popularity during the Hair Metal rush of the 1980's.
Twisted Sister was originally from New Jersey, and later based in Long Island, New York. Twisted Sister's best-known hits included MTV favorites "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock". Although the band is sometimes regarded as glam metal due to its use of makeup, Twisted Sister rocked hard for may years from the 1970's through the 1980's, and through their reunion shows from the late 90's through 2016. Twisted Sister are also ranked No. 73 in VH1's 100 greatest artists of hard rock.
Kevin and Shan discuss the early years of Twisted Sister in the 1970's and their break out years with MTV in the 80's with their most successful album "Stay Hungry". They also discuss the Twisted Sister's fantastic documentary called " We are Twisted F**king Sister" which can currently be seen on Amazon Prime. Kevin also has a Rock N' Roll T-Shirt check with Shan and also asked her about her recent concerts she's been to and what she's looking forward too.

We take an in-depth look into the bands that defined the style and sound of Hair Metal, and many other bands that may or may not be categorized as Hair metal, but did reach some popularity during the Hair Metal rush of the 1980's.
Bang Tango was one of those bands that were on the edge of approaching super stardom during the Hair Metal scene in the late 80's. Bang Tango was formed in 1988 in Los Angeles by guitarist Mark Knight and bassist Kyle Kyle in 1988. Knight recruited a second guitarist Kyle Stevens. Soon after vocalist Joe Leste joined the band as its front man which led to Leste's childhood friend, Tigg Ketler, completing the 5 piece line up as Bang Tango's drummer.
After the original members disbanded in the mid 1990's to pursue other musical ventures, die hard Bang Tango fans always wondered if we would see the original lineup reunite. About 25 years later and to the delight of these fans, original guitarist and founding member Mark Knight went to social media to announce a reunion show with all original Bang Tango members. They would play their first show all together at the famous Whiskey A Go Go in West Hollywood on January 25th, 2020.
Your Hair Metal podcast host Kevin attended this show, and Bang Tango did NOT disappoint! They rocked! Kevin is honored to have Mark Knight back on this special episode of the Hair Metal podcast to discuss how the reunion came about. Here are some of the topics they discussed.
- How did the Bang Tango reunion come together.
- The choice to have the reunion show at The Whiskey.
- Leading up to the show how was the band feeling.
- How was the show itself, and Mark's thoughts on the show looking back on it.
- How the set was chosen. And What other songs almost made the cut.
- What are some of Mark's favorite Bang Tango songs to perform.
- The fan reaction, what has Mark and the rest of the band heard.
- Mark talks about the, gear, amp and guitars he used.
- What's next for Bang Tango.
- What's next for Mark Knight and the Unsung Hero's.
Kevin would like to thank his very special guest... Mark Knight!

Kevin Reitzel is your host for The Hair Metal Podcast. Kevin's special returning guest for this Hair Metal Podcast episode is... Johnny K.!
In this episode of the Hair Metal Podcast, Kevin & Johnny give you a special "Lesson In Hair Metal History". Our normal episode segment of a Lesson in Hair Metal History usually covers a history making, famous, memorable or sometimes infamous Hair Metal music event or moment. In this episode we don't disappoint, as we give you a full episode dose of a Lesson in Hair Band History as we discuss... the 1989 MOSCOW MUSIC PEACE FESTIVAL!
The Moscow Music Peace Festival was a series of performances by famous Hair Metal era rock bands, who performed in the Soviet Union, in the city of Moscow at Lenin Stadium on August 12-13, 1989, as a promotion of peace and a way to establish international cooperation between the USSR and the West. This was the first time that an audience was allowed to stand and dance at a concert in the Soviet Union. Before this, all concert attendees had to remain seated. The concert was put together by music producer and band manager Doc McGhee and his Make a Difference Foundation.
The bands & artists that performed at this momentous event were:
- Skid Row
- Gorky Park
- Cinderella
- Ozzy Osbourne
- Mötley Crüe
- Scorpions
- Bon Jovi
Kevin & Johnny discuss many topics about the Moscow Music Peace Festival:
- Our first hand experiences watching it for the first time
- Each bands performance and set list
- Behind the scenes drama with band manager Doc McGhee, and the ego issues between several of the bands.
- The differences between the original pay per view special and the limited DVD release and YouTube versions.
- And the effect this event and the changes in Russia had on Scorpions lead singer Klaus Meine, who was inspired to write the Scorpions biggest hit, "Wind of Change".
Kevin and Johnny also have their Rock N Roll T-shirt check in, and discuss the recent bands they've seen, or going to see. And Johnny's awesome breakdown of his recent experience seeing Iron Maiden live on their current Greatest's Hits tour!

The Hair Metal Podcast cover bands that reached several levels of popularity and notoriety during the mid to late 1980's "Hair Metal" explosion. We take an in-depth look into the bands that defined the style and sound of Hair Metal, and many other bands that may or may not be categorized as Hair metal, but did reach some popularity during the Hair Metal rush of the 1980's.
Bang Tango was one of those bands that were on the edge of approaching super stardom during the Hair Metal scene in the late 80's. Bang Tango was formed in 1988 in Los Angeles by guitarist Mark Knight and bassist Kyle Kyle in 1988. Knight recruited a second guitarist Kyle Stevens. Soon after vocalist Joe Leste joined the band as its front man which led to Leste's childhood friend, Tigg Ketler, completing the 5 piece line up as Bang Tango's drummer.
Bang Tango's initial release, a live EP titled Live Injection came out in early 1989 leading up to the release of their Howard Benson produced full-length debut Psycho Café which topped off at number 58 on the Billboard top 200 chart. The music video for the single Someone Like You was a popular staple on early 90's MTV programming such as Dial MTV and Headbanger's Ball. A video was also made for the single Breaking Up a Heart of Stone. The band would tour extensively during this period with the likes of Cheap Trick, LA Guns, Ratt, and Bulletboys. Bang Tango's next album releases was Dancing on Coals in 1991, then followed up by Love After Death in 1993, which never was released by MCA because the band was dropped by the label.
Mark Knight is now the singer, songwriter and guitarist with his current band, Mark Knight & The Unsung Heroes! For more information, check them out here:

The Dirt is a 2019 American biographical musical comedy-drama film directed by Jeff Tremaine from a screenplay by Rich Wilkes, about glam metal band Mötley Crüe. The film stars Douglas Booth, Colson Baker, Daniel Webber and Iwan Rheon. Talks of a Mötley Crüe biopic began as early as 2006, when Paramount Pictures and MTV Films purchased the rights to the book The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band by Neil Strauss. However the project then languished in development hell for over a decade, going through numerous directors and cast members before Netflix purchased the rights in March 2017. Filming began around New Orleans in February 2018. The Dirt was released digitally on Netflix on March 22, 2019.
Kevin, Johnny and Erin discuss many topics about Motley Crue's THE DIRT movie on Netflix:
- First Impressions
- The Director & Cast.
- Trivia on the movie and behind the scenes.

The Hair Metal Podcast cover bands that reached several levels of popularity and notoriety during the mid to late 1980's "Hair Metal" explosion. We take an in-depth look into the bands that defined the style and sound of Hair Metal, and many other bands that may or may not be categorized as Hair metal, but did reach some popularity during the Hair Metal rush of the 1980's.
Bang Tango was one of those bands that were on the edge of approaching super stardom during the Hair Metal scene in the late 80's. Bang Tango was formed in 1988 in Los Angeles by guitarist Mark Knight and bassist Kyle Kyle in 1988. Knight recruited a second guitarist Kyle Stevens. Soon after vocalist Joe Leste' joined the band as its front man which led to Leste's childhood friend, Tigg Ketler, completing the 5 piece line up as Bang Tango's drummer.
Bang Tango's initial release, a live EP titled Live Injection came out in early 1989 leading up to the release of their Howard Benson produced full-length debut Psycho Café which topped off at number 58 on the Billboard top 200 chart. The music video for the single Someone Like You was a popular staple on early 90's MTV programming such as Dial MTV and Headbanger's Ball. A video was also made for the single Breaking Up a Heart of Stone. The band would tour extensively during this period with the likes of Cheap Trick, LA Guns, Ratt, and Bulletboys. Bang Tango's next album releases was Dancing on Coals in 1991, then followed up by Love After Death in 1993, which never was released by MCA because the band was dropped by the label.
In June 2011, the band had met Drew Fortier, for whom they offered to shoot a studio documentary while they recorded their then new record Pistol Whipped in the Bible Belt. This project would then become expanded upon once Fortier had been put in contact with previous members of the band as well as its founding members. Over the course of 4 years Fortier would turn the project into a feature length documentary titled "Attack of Life: The Bang Tango Movie". The film features interviews with all original members of the band as well as most of the players who have performed in the band since its inception.
Reviews of the film were positive. The general consensus is that despite its low budget, the film still manages to get its point across in an unbiased, artistic, and engaging manner while being able to appeal to not only fans of the band or genre, but to anyone not familiar with Bang Tango.
You can find Drew Fortier's movie "Attack of Life: The Bang Tango Movie" on YouTube here:
You can find Drew's Book "Dark, Depressing, and Hilarious: My Bittersweet Journey In and Out of the Music Business" here on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1718106394/ref=cm_sw_r_em_api_i_c_c.NGCbJBHPFTN
Kevin is honored to have and his guest Drew on this special podcast to discuss Kevin's favorite band of all time, and Drew's movie "ATTACK OF LIFE: THE BANG TANGO MOVIE" Kevin and Drew discuss many topics in this episode:
- Drew's musical influences.
- What bands Drew played with.
- How did Drew end up playing with Bang Tango.
- What inspired Drew to do a documentary about Bang Tango.
- Drew's experience interviewing the original members and the guests and fellow musicians speaking on the behalf of Bang Tango.

We take an in-depth look into the bands that defined the style and sound of Hair Metal, and many other bands that may or may not be categorized as Hair metal, but did reach some popularity during the Hair Metal rush of the 1980's.
In this episode, we discuss SKID ROW and GUNS N' ROSES!
Kevin and his guests Murf and Anna discuss many fun topics in this episode:
- A Lesson In Hair Band History: The Guns N Roses / Skid Row Tour 1991-1993.
On the eve of Guns N' Roses ambitious double album release of Use Your Illusion 1 & 2, in early 1991, Guns N' Roses set off on a massive world tour to help promote these albums. oOn the success of their debut album and their new album Slave To The Grind, Skid Row joined Guns N' Roses for many of these dates, including several sold out Los Angeles area concerts that host Kevin went to. Included in one of these shows was GNR's longest set, which reached about 3 1/2 hours!
- Skid Row! Kevin, Murf and Anna discuss Skid Row and the impact they had immediately on the rock and roll Hair Metal scene, including their flamboyant good looking lead singer Sebastian Bach. Anna also makes an interesting comparison of Skid Row and the 90's "Boy Bands".
- Guns N' Roses! Probably the biggest bands to come out of the "Hair Metal" scene! But many will argue that they aren't hair metal, instead they were the anti hair metal band as they look and acted different and wrote songs that weren't your cookie cutter safe pop rock material. We dive deep into their billboard hits and great albums, and we also talk about our least favorite GNR album.
Kevin would like to thank his very special guests... MURF and ANNA!
