252: EP 252: KISS vs. David Lee Roth, Nirvana Baby, Mitch Malloy

This week Bakko has some big news. LC & Bakko discuss backing into parking spots. KISS doing meet & greets behind a sneeze guard. Gene Simmons insulting David Lee Roth and then offering what he thinks is an apology. Paul Stanley gets Covid. The Nirvana baby sues Nirvana. And Mitch Malloy (who?) is tapping into his self identity as a member of Van Halen.
On a different note. A fellow member of Decibel Geek, Ron Runyon, is battling stage 4 cancer. As predictable, medical bills are piling up. If you can possibly help please go to his GoFundMe.

Bakko gets turned down by Rolling Stone magazine. Dave Mustaine erases David Ellefson. The art of the selfie. Aaron Lewis gets hammered on stage and LC gives Bakko a taste of his own game show medicine.

Ron Keel – Live At Rock N Pod 2021

Recorded live in Nashville Tennessee, the Metal Cowboy Ron Keel joins the program for a once-in-a-lifetime event for Cobras & Fire. This one will make you smile. #ROCKNPOD
From that first Steeler album to recent releases like “South X South Dakota” and “Fight Like A Band,” Ron Keel’s 35-year career in entertainment has taken him from the concrete jungles of arena rock to the dirt roads of country music. Along the way, he has sold millions of albums and toured the world as both a heavy metal screamer (KEEL, Steeler, and a brief encounter with Black Sabbath) and a southern rock/outlaw country artist (with dozens of songs in major films and TV shows). For the past two decades, the Metal Cowboy has combined both genres, establishing a style and a persona that captures the heart and personality of this self-proclaimed rock n’ roll outlaw. 

Keel’s legendary major label debut album THE RIGHT TO ROCK was produced by KISS’ Gene Simmons – they went on to notch three albums on Billboard’s Hot 100 as well as MTV and radio hits “The Right To Rock,” “Because The Night,” “Tears Of Fire,” “Somebody’s Waiting,” and “Rock N Roll Outlaw.”

Opening shows for Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Motley Crue, Dio, Y&T, Queensryche and many more established a hard work ethic that remains strong today; the 2019/2020 World Tour included the Monsters Of Rock Cruise (Belize/Cozumel), Ron’s first-ever tour of Australia, the Frontiers Rock Festival in Milan, Italy, the KISS & Rock N Roll Expo in Helsinki, Finland, casinos, fairs and festivals stateside, KEELFEST (featuring Keel, Ron Keel Band and Steeler) plus major bike events like the Sturgis Rally and Hot Harley Nights.

After nearly three years hosting the “Streets of Rock & Roll” rock-and-talk syndicated radio show, Keel was handpicked to join a dream team of Midwest rock radio royalty on KBAD 94.5 FM, where Ron’s “Mid-Day Mayhem” show skyrocketed to the top of the Neilson ratings for that region. He’s now back on the “Streets Of Rock N Roll” with weekly broadcasts on PureRockRadio.net, TotalRock.com, 97Underground, Philly Rock Radio and RockRageRadio.com.

As a songwriter, Ron has dozens of TV and film credits – major movies like “Men In Black II,” “Dolphin Tale,” “The Messengers” and many more – and his songs have been featured in hit TV shows like “X-Files,” “Desperate Housewives,” “The Simpsons,” “King Of The Hill,” and the Daytona 500 broadcast. 

Ron Keel has worked hard to remain ahead of the curve, constantly re-inventing himself and evolving with the changes in the entertainment industry. His most recent venture is at http://patreon.com/ronkeel, where fans pay a monthly subscription fee and get all access to exclusive content and personal fan experiences.
