Harrison and I would like to thank our new guests Ashley Geisler, Melissa Nee, and Sidney from Slogan’s Rock & Metal Extravaganza, as well as returning guests Johnny Clauser and Todd Evans, for a rollicking good time on New Year’s Eve.

The concept was simple.  Each of us took turns going round, showing off an item we got recently over the holidays.

Sidney had a massive haul of Rock Candy CDs, and used metal bargains from The Beat Goes On.  He had a strong showing of Budgie remasters, and a diverse collection of bands.  Melissa had some cool Iron Maiden stuff, while Ash is collecting bootlegs and had several to show us.  Johnny Clauser brought some recent purchases, and Todd Evans scored well in the Neal Morse department.  As for Harrison and I, he had a cool Trust tin and something call ONXRT.  I decided to unveil my Van Halen For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge deluxe edition, with a short discussion.

We also started the show with the traditional Ask Harrison featuring Jex Russell.

It’s very possible the winner of the year 2024 was Judas Priest with the recent Rocka Rolla reissue.  Have a watch and see.

Because we did the live show mid-week this time, Friday’s show is a pre-recorded special episode.  Don’t miss it January 3!

GRAB A STACK OF ROCK With Mike and the Mad Metal Man
Episode 83:  New Year’s Eve Drop-In Show

It has been a while since I’ve attempted a show like this, but it’s time to do something random and chaotic to end the year with a party.

• Disclaimer #1:  I never make it to midnight.
• Disclaimer #2:  I have no idea what will actually happen tonight.

Harrison and I need a break like this to blow off steam.  We’ve both been active on other channels, plus we have been preparing our massive Iron Maiden project for 2025.  We are ready to launch it in January.  But first, let’s have a party.

Tonight Harrison and I will be hosting some brand new guests:  Ash Geisler from Australia, plus Logan and Sidney from Slogan’s music channel.  There will be some returning guests and some random drop-ins.

If there is a theme tonight, it’s just showing off music we acquired over the holidays.  It should be a fun discussion on that front.

Bottoms up.  It’s gonna be a rock and roll party tonight…with a 52 year old host who will require a nap mid-day.

Message me if you need a link to join tonight.

Tuesday December 31 at 9:00 P.M. E.S.T. / 10:00 P.M. Atlantic.   Enjoy on YouTube or on Facebook!
