Talking Bollocks

Does anyone actually click this fucking link? My old mate Craig Locicero is back on the podcast! It's been too long and we get right into too many subjects to mention but needless to say all things Forbidden are covered. Plus a few things from way back in the day as well. There is the always interesting look at the news with the bad mouthing of Blabbermouth, praise and rebuke for all comers including Rammstein, Geoff Tate, Metallica, HD quality video footage of Bruce Dickinson signing albums, Thor (the band not Marvel Superhero) and praise for Nikki Sixx. This Is Fighting, Feeding, Fucking, Forbidden Bollocks. *Episode pic Craig & the late Tim Calvert RIP Video Interview

Support The Podcast Patreon Please welcome back to the podcast Julie Weir! In July last year had a chat and said at the end of it "we must do this again some time" so we did. A lot has happened since we last spoke so there's a lot to catch up on, music to talk about, bands to mention and podcasts too. There is also an abuse of news which includes a game of musical drum stools, people not wanting to write books, people wanting to write books, uncalled for videos and someone who thinks God likes his band. Twat. This Is Corned Beef Bollocks.

Support The Podcast In this special episode (even more special if you are one of our Patrons) I sit down with Paul for a deep dive into what made him want to quit his band, leave the music business and start the phenomenal podcast, A Year In Horror. This Is Paul's Bollocks. Video Interview

Sign Up To Patreon Bastards! In this episode I get to talk to vocalist, guitarist & Morta Skuld founder David Gregor. We cover everything from how the new cracking album Creation Undone came together, Death Metal, comedy, Acid Reign and Kiss not being very good, YES! There's a look at the so called news with added understanding for some, boredom for others and total scorn for everyone else. This Is Whiskey Wale Bollocks. Video Interview

Support The Podcast We are back! Here we review some of our favourite or not so favourite albums of 2024 so far from: Exhorder, Cancer Christ, Dissimulator, Atrophy, Dipygus, J.Robbins, Morta Skuld and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. This Is Old Bollocks. Video Show *Recorded before Slayer announced their gigs.

Support The Podcast Kyle is back on the show to talk mainly about new killer album Defectum Omnium. I say mainly because this was Kyle's last interview of the day so there is a bit of an "end of term" vibe to this chat which covers everything from vocal warm downs to Black Sabbath cover bands. There is an extended look at the news as I get way too exercised about the non stories of the last two weeks. Ever heard of the band Idles? Thought not. This Is Lizard Bollocks. Video Interview

Support Podcast Patreon This episode's guest is Zoltan Farkas vocalist/guitarist, founder and creator of legendary Hungarian outfit Ektomorf. We start out talking about their great new album "Vivid Black" and what inspired it and that leads to a place that leaves you in no doubt what the underlying motivations were. Sometimes I am lucky enough to speak with people who are willing to go wherever the conversation takes us and this is one of those occasions. There is also the usual cursory run through the news and not news of the last few weeks which include a few stories that aren't stories, statements that aren't statements, people getting well and people getting kicked out. This Is Two Hour Bollocks.

Support The Podcast For the tenth time in a row the year starts with my favourite albums of the last year but in a first it's a top ten (sort of) instead of a top five. Once all of that is out of the way Heitham of Senser and I have a chat prior to their awesome December show at the 100 club, Oxford Street. We talk music, pandemics and food as well as resolving to have a longer catch up soon. There is a cut down review of the news but boy does someone get some stuff off their chest. This Is Top Nine Bollocks. The Reducer

Ten Years - Pay Your Debts Yes it's ten years of Talking Bollocks and to celebrate I drafted in my good friend Old Head to interview... Me! We had a blast and I'm sure you'll enjoy hearing all the behind the scenes stories. As always there is a blast through the news which includes: Dismay for Belladonna, distain for Ki$$, praise for Osborne, concern for Rush, honesty from Dickinson & respect for Sepultura. This Is Ten Years Of Bollocks. Video Interview

Support The Podcast This Xmas H & Old Head are back and we bring you our views on new releases from Suffocation, Blink 182, Ektomorf & Alluvial. Plus we look ahead to who is, possibly & hopefully releasing new music in 2024. Video Version

Please Support The Podcast In nearly ten years of this show I have the first instrumental band on the podcast. These guys play in a number of bands as you will hear, the most well known one of which is friends of the show Atheist. With a new Fermentor album about to drop the lads got in touch and I am so glad they did as the twisted metal landscapes these guys create are quite something to behold. The resulting interview is fun, informative and in depth as I ask the questions that need asking, what have you got against singers?! There is brief jog through the news and actual major metal stories, some clumsy ill thought out metaphors and disappointment in some metal icons. This Is Coffee Bollocks. Fermentor Bandcamp Video Interview

Support The Podcast I catch up with former Motörcast guest and bootmaker extraordinaire Pascal Davayat. He has made boots for so many famous rockers like Lemmy and Dee Snider but his own story is even more amazing. We touch on all sorts of topics from music to film from architectural brutalism to the Bullet Boys and don't forget nearly being run over by Warren Beatty and lots of 80s metal chat! There is also my latest run in with the news where an old friend comes back for the last time and I have the biggest breaking story in metal! This Is Bootmaker Bollocks.

Fucking Patreon It's time for Igor and I to have a chat without Max. For their debut album it was all three of us but Igor has taken the reins of this album and made it his own and whilst traveling across the US on tour he tells me all about it. He reveals all about his many projects and also the "real" job he had to do whilst writing this album. Then there is the news (which includes a musical interlude) this is NOT work safe from the very beginning. This Is Staind Bollocks.

Support Talking Bollocks Patreon A Year In Horror Podcast My friend Paul Waller of A Year In Horror asked me if I wanted to go to the relaunch of Hammer films and see the premiere of Jekyll starring Eddie Izzard. My answer was of course I do and this is what happened.

Podcast Patreon It's been a while but Tommy Victor is back on the show! In this chat we get down to talking about the new Prong album State Of Emergency pretty quickly which is with good reason. Firstly it is why Tommy is doing a ton of interviews and secondly I want to talk about an album that will almost certainly be in my top five of 2023. There is also a bit of a good vibes news section that is likely to astound and dumbfound in equal measure. This Is Good News Bollocks. Video Interview

Support The Fucking Podcast Miles is back and with lots to tell us all about upcoming Noise Records news. We have a great chat around all things music business, trends in the current climate, metal as a major label imprint and what a nice guy Nikki Sixx is! Plus the usual round up of news that isn't news and one particular band and booker who would appear to try to be recreating the late 90's. On purpose! This Is Cruise Ship Bollocks.

Give Me Money! Burn The Clowns Chupacabra is a great track. Myself Nige & Heather discuss all things Chupacabra and their debut EP. From it's inception and writing through lockdown to eventual recording, release and how Nige got involved with D.X. Ferris and the Talkin' Slayer Podcast. There is the usual run through the news in an more unusual way. This Is Backwards Bollocks. Video Interview Chupacabra
