Can I Pod With Madness - Kerrang, Metal Hammer and rock in the 1980s

PWM05: Kerrang 208 (Oct 8, 1988) - Def, just admit it

Returning to a week we previously covered in PWM03, today we’re looking at Kerrang 208 (Oct 8, 1988). Lovable Sheffield scamps Def Leppard are legit the biggest band in the world although you wouldn’t know it from those FASCISTS at Radio 1. Kerrang! Has a new feature - This Week in Metal which is suspiciously similar to Can I Pod With Madness.
 
Does Kerrang talk about Iron Maiden too much? (Spoilers: yes, according to this guy). We reminisce about escaping from The Leeds Festival in 2002, after waiting three hours to see Guns n Roses (or at least, The Axl and Buckethead Show). We ponder the solo works of KISS, and realise that it doesn’t seem right that Jane’s Addiction appear in the same magazine as Gypsy Queen and Great White. Also we cover Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious Grooves  - please note that this is now a Sarsippius fan podcast.
Get some THERAPY! With Can I Pod With Madness episode 5 on all your favourite podcatchers.

PWM04: Metal Hammer Vol 5, No 6, (April 3, 1989) - For The Love of Hot Leg

In episode 4 we lurch forward in time to look at Metal Hammer Vol 5, No 6, (April 3, 1989). Has Blackie Lawless of W.A.S.P had a makeover? His background certainly has. Also Vixen! Sabbath! Rush! Tigertailz and some UK Glamsters. Marillion finally have a new singer but we’re not allowed to see him. Mötley Crüe are cleaned up (apparently) and Vince Neil is hanging out with Hurricane, while Poison hang out with some naked women. We ask: is the world of late 80s metal sexist (spoiler: yes).
Also in this episode, we sing the praises of Extreme, Steel Panther, Hot Leg and For The Love of Horror, none of which appear in this issue

PWM03: Metal Hammer no. 20 vol. 3, (October 10, 1988) - Darth Lemmy and The Muff Divers

It's a bumper edition of the pod as we look at Metal Hammer from Oct 1988.
We talk Motorhead, King Diamond, Bon Jovi, Little Angels, Dare, Aerosmith, Let Loose, Nirvana vs The Jackson Five, The Osmonds and KISS! There’s shock news about Fish leaving Marillion, and we fondly remember Bret Michaels’ Rock of Love and Madchen “Shelly from Twin Peaks” Amick.

PWM2: Kerrang 181, (April 2, 1988)

In our difficult second podcast we tackle Kerrang issue 181 HEAD ON! Alice Cooper is a troubled man for troubled times, but whither Head Over Heels, Kooga and The Grip? Are It Bites actually from the 90s? Which band is canon in the Nightmare on Elm Street universe?
Also a Black Sabbath story that will shock you to the core! Sorry... kore.

Can I Pod With Madness episode 1: Kerrang 178, March 12, 1988

In the inaugural edition of our podcast, we discuss what to call the podcast. Then we move onto the main topic, Kerrang issue 178, (March 12, 1988).
We cover Iron Maiden (about to release a new single, and promoting it with boobs), Whitesnake (just being sexy), Motley Crue (Nikki Sixx doppelganger shocker,) and W.A.S.P. (dog related shenanigans).
There's Kommunication about Sabbat, and their extreme HEAVINESS, Tigertailz (Wales' finest) and some complaints about The Pet Shop Boys
Also Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, and Leather & Lace, all of which are METAL.
Also at some point I very nearly accuse Greta Thunberg of ripping off Led Zep.
