Rockett also confirms he’ll perform Poison’s Look What The Cat Dragged In in full with The Rockett Mafia. John Corabi explains how he got the “Crabby” nickname and says it isn’t what most people assume. A posthumous John Sykes EP is coming, set for release through Golden Robot Records (editor note - recorded before Sykes family statment). Stephen Pearcy on his refusal to use backing tracks (and a wild story from Aaron on that subject). Angel announces a farewell tour planned for 2026–2027.

Metallica says negotiations are about 90% complete for a 2027 Las Vegas Sphere residency. An actor has reportedly been chosen to play Ozzy Osbourne in the upcoming biopic. Black Label Society’s next album Engines Of Demolition will include a track described as “Ozzy’s song.” Mick Sweda says he wanted his share of the BulletBoys name back before agreeing to the latest reunion.

DBG TIMES for December - Ep654
Dec 2601:38:30Tap to summarizeWe're back with a brand new issue of the DBG Times, covering the past present, and future of rock! ROCKSTAR DEATHDAYSThis issue pauses to remember some of rock’s most significant losses, honoring the legacies of John Lennon, Dimebag Darrell, Lemmy, Scott Weiland, Ray Gillen, Tommy Bolin, and Leslie West — artists whose music continues to echo through every corner of the genre. ALBUM ANNIVERSARIESWe take a tour through decades of releases celebrating birthdays this month, from classics to cult favorites. Highlights include AC/DC’s T.N.T., Queen’s Flash Gordon soundtrack, Blue Öyster Cult’s Club Ninja, Mr. Big’s reunion record What If…, KoRn’s See You on the Other Side, Yungblud’s Weird!, and milestone albums from T. Rex, Wishbone Ash, The Beatles, The Who, and more. It’s a snapshot of how many eras of rock are all intersecting at once.

No Singer No Problem - Ep653
Dec 1800:46:19Tap to summarizeThis week on the Decibel Geek Podcast, Chris is hosting solo, leaning into a music-forward episode that features killer instrumentals; No Singer No Problem. This is NOT a shredder's episode; instead he's pulling from from across classic rock, hard rock, metal, and modern instrumental territory. Before diving in, Chris takes a moment to pay tribute to our late friend and former Decibel Geek staff member, Kate Thompson. Her love of music, dedication to the cause, and presence within the rock community are deeply missed, and this episode is dedicated in her memory. After a quick look back at listener feedback from the previous DBG Times episode and a new round of Geeks of the Week, the show shifts fully into instrumental mode. From an iconic Jeff Beck Group tune from the 60's to the shredder-ific heights scaled by Jason Becker and Criss Oliva to more moody, atomospheric tunes from Aerosmith, Russian Circles, and more, it's a solid mix of tunes.

Geekwire - Week of 10.07.25 - Ep644
Oct 601:07:42Tap to summarizeWarning: you might need a drink (or three) to keep up with us this week as things get silly. Grab your favorite beverage and try to follow along as we tackle all the latest rock chaos: Sammy Hagar takes accountability and causes a stunning admission from Aaron. Jon Bon Jovi’s Nashville bar hits the market. This House is Not for Sale; but, the business is. Def Leppard finally get their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame but dare you tread there? Europe’s Ian Haugland promises a full-on return to ‘80s glory but is that what we want? Axl Rose becomes a jazz-loving humanoid robot. What? Frank Bello and Billy Sheehan contribute to Accept’s 50th-anniversary album. But, what the hell is it? Aerosmith teams with Yungblud for a new track, and Aaron dishes out some unsolicited career advice for him Ace Frehley takes a spill and lands in the hospital—but, hopefully, just Trouble Walkin'. Vince Neil returns to the stage to Knock 'Em Dead; after cheating death multiple times. Mark "The Animal" Mendoza won’t be joining Twisted Sister’s 2026 reunion. Is the issue cosmetic, or something deeper? Yes, Scott Ian’s beard dye is actually for sale Chiller Theatre drops the news that Vinnie Vincent won’t be showing up (shocked, anyone?) And Aaron announces a big life change while trying to resurrect an old classic. So pour one out, press play, and try to keep up—it’s Geekwire, and sobriety is optional.
