This week on Toilet Radio: For reasons that I cannot fully articulate, we went over to the Internet Archive to watch The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, a 1990 starring vehicle for one of the worst to ever do it: Andrew “Dice” Clay. This picture, in which Dice plays a “Rock n’ Roll Detective”, is confusing, expensive, mean-spirited, giant piece of shit from a butt. BUT it does feature Gilbert Gottfried as Howard Stern, Vince Neil as a dead rock star Ed O’Neil as a disco detective, an animatronic koala, Robert Englund as a murderous Billy Idol, Morris Day, Lauren Holly, Tone Loc, and one of my fav
This week on Toilet Radio: We’re talking about a dungeon synth festival coming up at the Overlook Hotel that we wanna go to real bad. The decimation of music publications continues unobstructed.

Music featured on this ‘sode: Plague Ritual – Where
THIS WEEK ON TOILET RADIO: We take a listen to the surprise new EP from Avenged Sevenfold and it is, yet again, music that attempts to cover ground that was covered twenty years ago. This one is interesting because it’s bad but not for any of the reasons you’ve come to expect from metal’s first Blockchain band.

Finally, we compare and contrast Futurism, the fi
This week on Toilet Radio we delve into one of Joe’s favorite subjects: Olde-timey music. This time we’re talking about a 1950’s-style modern country musician vs a 1950’s-style satanic pop duo. Charley Crockett, one of the hardest working musicians in Texas, made the mistake of looking into one of his opening bands and then opining loudly while kicking Twin Temple off a measly two dates. Worlds be colliding and the fallout is, frankly, incredible. Put this in your textbooks as a case study in music PR disasters. ALSO: Alex Terrible covered Zombie by the Cranberries for some reason. Try Linger
This week on Toilet Radio: Joe and Jordan discuss the 250th limited-edition American Independence Day. We take a trip in our time machine and travel ONCE MORE into the Metaverse.

This week on Toilet Radio: Hot SOCCER action and FIFA madness! Phil Labonte offers an update on his thoughts RE: therapy is for women; still stupid. Silent Planet hit back with a zinger and then STICK IT to the French by metaphorically torching a venue over merch cuts and VAT fees.

THIS WEEK ON TOILET RADIO: Jordan lectures on Professional Wrestling at an Ivy League university while Joe gets sprayed down by a severed artery. But for the most part, we're Remembering Some Guys. We started thinking about bands that had everything going for them but for some reason, timing or label issues or a bizarre X-factor, they couldn't become as big as their potential. We're talking about bands like Bleed, Cellador, Young and in the Way, Elysia, 7 Angels 7 Plagues, It Dies Today, and much more. Join us on a trip down memory lane as we discuss, "Hey, what the hell happened here?" Folks,
This week on Toilet Radio: Gen X Correspondent Ian sits down with acclaimed film, video game, and television composer Bear McCreary. For folks unfamiliar, Bear has composed music for everything from Battlestar Galactica, God of War, The Walking Dead, and The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power.

Hot damn! On this week's episode Gen X Correspondent scores an interview with Michel "Away" Langevin. Away talks about providing the orchestra cues from some of the band's favorite cyperpunk movies, attempting to mic up every single piece of the orchestra, members of the symphony catching Voivod for lifting classical passages in their songs, learning how to make digital art in the early 80s and getting a band new computer with earnings from Probot, working on an 80s-style video game called Nuclear Warrior, the Story of Voivod, and creating art in every city on tour. For a little added color, J
This week on Toilet Radio: Venomous snake disasters! Furnace Fest is back and more generic than ever! Instead of a collection of hardcore revivals for old heads and baffling Christcore bands, you've got something way more dishwater. Aaron Lewis is back with more jingoistic bullshit, this time a hilarious ballad about how much he hates China. Drowning Pool had to cancel an upcoming South American tour and we examine the BLUE DOT FEVER phenomenon that's sweeping the nation as gas reaches twenty bucks a gallon.

This week on Toilet Radio: Joe bought a huge stack of guitar magazines from the 90s and now we're gonna make it YOUR problem. This time we're examining the Guitar World Survival Guide, a feature in which dozens of famous and famous-ish guitarists offer their five tips to survive the once-thriving cutthroat music industry. You'll hear pearls from Zakk Wylde, Yngwie, Wayne Static, Ted Nugent, Dimebag Darrell, Tom Morello, Dave Mustaine, and much, much more. It's a fascinating snapshot of artists on the rise and fall 25 years ago. We talk about the practical advice, the wildly egotistical stuff,

THIS WEEK ON TOILET RADIO: We talk about a fledgling TovH Guy really going above and beyond by attempting to murder the elderly father of his former Turnstile vocalist. See you in 15-20, Brady! We compare and contrast the journey of Brady Ebert with rapper Pooh Sheisty who also went above and beyond this week by attempting to kidnap Gucci Mane in front of a cop and a million cameras. In other news: Kiko Loureiro, former Megadeth guitarist, threatened to sue Arch Enemy over stealing a guitar riff, Arch Enemy responds and shatters Kiko into a pile of broken glass. Jordan makes me listen to a ter
THIS WEEK ON TOILET RADIO: We received a listener email, as we are wont to do, with an intriguing request. Kevin is making a trek out to the Netherlands to attend the 2026 Roadburn Festival. He asked us to take a look at the lineup and give a preview of everything coming to the stage this year due to an accurate perception that we're not super familiar with the artists performing. You got it. We take a look at all of the bands, collaborations, free jazz ensembles, and DJs performing and gave them a little listen to let you, the listeners, know what is good, interesting, or otherwise unlistenab

This week on Toilet Radio: We're unlocking a very good, previously Patreon EXCLUSIVE episode. BY POPULAR DEMAND: We watched "Addicted to Porn: Chasing the Cardboard Butterfly", a 2017 anti-porn documentary narrated by Metallica's James Hetfield. This documentary is available in multiple rips for free on YouTube or you could pay four dollars to rent it. Don't do that. Regardless of your stance RE: pornography, what you get here is a pretty sad attempt by evangelicals pretending they're not evangelicals to present vaguely scientific arguments that porn is some kind of unique brain-destroying che
Collaborations: sometimes they're good! Who doesn't get excited when two groups at the heights of their creative powers join together to make some new sounds? But for every Bring the Noise, you've got a dozen All in the Families. On this episode we examine several unrealized collaborations and ask, "Would this possibly, in a million years, have been good"? We're talking about Ozzy X Van Halen, James Hetfield X Jerry Cantrell, Danzig X Jerry Cantrell, Nothingface X Mudvayne, Slayer X Suicidal Tendencies, Tapeworm (NIN and a million others), and the unrealized Dio/Halford/Dickinson project.
