Ep 49: What this ep needs… IS MORE CHAINSAW! We recap two summer fests with a perfect mix of old and new school rock starring FAKERATT, Shaman’s Harvest, Dokken, Tom Keifer, Autograph, Crobot, Jackyl and cast of thousands. Bakko & LC recap their adventures at Grand Rocktember (Minneapolis) and High Elevation (Denver) that they attended with DG VIP access the same weekend together…separately. Also includes Bobby Blotzer “comedy” routines, twelve foot ninja battles and chainsaws. So many chainsaws. (Part 1 of 2)
Introduction by Josh Toomey of the “Talk Toomey” podcast who also recently appeared on a recent Decibel Geek Metallica ep. He may have lost a bet.

Bakko & LC are recording a new ep recapping the High Elevation Fest in CO and Grand Rocktember in MN. But you still need to rock and radio sucks! Here’s 3 hours of Real Rock radio doesn’t play for your commute featuring new music from Blackberry Smoke, Nashville Pussy, rants about KISS, AXL/DC and more….

The Trial of Sammy Hagar: Bakko, a well-known Sampathizer, defends the merits of the Red Rocker vs the David Lee Roth-loving Anti-Samites Rob Kern and Eric Furniss. This is ep the origin of how Loose Cannon heard Bakko on the FOON Podcast, hunted him down and joined forces to bring the world Podcast Gold. Will Bakko succeed in a heated depate and turn Eric and Rob into Waborita swilling goofs sporting Chickenfoot tattoos? You be the judge.
Thanks to Rob and Eric for sharing this ep. Want more FOON? Check out: fromoutofnowhere.com They have 80+ eps of genius.

Ep 50: Respect the Hologram – Bakko & LC have a vicious debate about the Dio Hologram, the arms and legs that make up this week’s version of RATT, Marq Torien teaching theology at a BulletBoys concert, the ROCK USA Fest shitshow and much more.

Wilson Frontman has Strict “No Bowling Policy” for Guitarist, Bassist

Minneapolis, MN (July 31st, 2016) – Wilson frontman Chad Nicefield announces his strict “no bowling policy” for his guitarist and bassist, risks of hostels while on European tours, drinking violently and, like all guests of Cobras & Fire, his support to remake the KISS classic Phantom of the Park. Catch Wilson on their fall tour with Sevendust, Crobot and Twelve Foot Ninja that includes the fests High Elevation and Rock Allegiance.

Who is Wilson? They are the best band and export from Detroit since the Stroh’s 30 Pack and has earned Cobras & Fire Podcast’s mushroom stamp of approval. But don’t take it from us. Here’s their official press release:

Wilson is not an “internet band”. They’re five dudes in a van with beards and big dicks- working harder than your parents. But instead of giving their all as stockbrokers or auto-mechanics or assistant branch managers their job is to destroy your party. Forget debates about the music industry, about download analytics, mp3 singles, and the “charts”. Screw genres. All that has nothing to do with music. But when that Wilson van cruises into your town that shit is REAL. Real MUSIC. Real LIFE. Real LOUD. Real SWEATY. And real FUN.

Bakko & LC take a break to present another ep from friend of the show Rob Kern’s “Loud, Drunk & Angry” weekly rock show on the Uncontrolled Noize network. We’d hire a psychiatrist to find out just what makes Rob Kern tick but we’re pretty sure we couldn’t afford the years of therapy needed for…
