Legendary Bassist Bob Daisley Discusses "Eternal Idol" Reissue on Black Sabbath Radio Special

On a very special episode of the "Glory Is Noise" online radio show, host Joel Gausten welcomes legendary bassist Bob Daisley (Blizzard Of Ozz/ Black Sabbath/ Rainbow/ Uriah Heep/ Gary Moore) for a discussion on Bob's time with Black Sabbath for the recording of their 1987 album, "The Eternal Idol." Joel and Bob also air the original Ray Gillen-vocal version of the "Eternal Idol" album - recently released after a 23-year wait - in its entirety. This 106-minute episode, which includes songs from Bob's work with Rainbow and Deep Purple/ex Black Sabbath singer Ian Gillan, can be listened to at this location: http://www.radiofreesatan.com/glory_is_noise.html.

Released in 1987, "The Eternal Idol" was Black Sabbath's 13th album and the first to feature longtime vocalist Tony Martin. The album was originally recorded with vocalist Ray Gillen, who quit the band shortly after the initial sessions. Gillen would soon resurface alongside former Black Sabbath drummer Eric Singer (later in KISS) in the Hard Rock "supergroup," Badlands. Gillen died in 1993 of an AIDS-related illness at age 34.

Bob Daisley's 40-year career includes stints in such legendary Hard Rock/Metal acts as Rainbow, Uriah Heep and Ozzy Osbourne's first solo band, Blizzard of Ozz. Daisley's lengthy songwriting credits with Osborne include composing the majority of the lyrics for "Suicide Solution," "Over The Mountain, "Crazy Train" and other early classics. He continued his work with Osbourne throughout the 1980s and into the '90s, playing on and/or writing lyrics for the albums "Bark At The Moon," "The Ultimate Sin," "No Rest For The Wicked" and "No More Tears." During his on-again, off-again relationship with Osbourne, Daisley also recorded many albums with former Thin Lizzy guitarist Gary Moore and toured extensively with him.

Daisley has contributed to a wealth of additional recordings as bassist, lyricist and producer, including albums by Yngwie Malmsteen, Mother's Army, Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward and Living Loud with Ozzy/Uriah Heep drummer Lee Kerslake, Steve Morse of Deep Purple and singer Jimmy Barnes. In 2007, Daisley's band The Hoochie Coochie Men released the studio album "Danger: White Men Dancing," which featured appearances by Jon Lord and Ian Gillan of Deep Purple. Daisley has also appeared in several music-related books, including Joel Gausten's 2010 release, "From Satan to Sabbath: The Metal Interviews 2000-2009."

A bit of late-breaking news:

I'm busily putting together a special Gary Moore tribute episode of Glory Is Noise (http://www.radiofreesatan.com/glory_is_noise.html) for Monday, February 14.

Bob Daisley, who played bass for Gary in the '80s, has offered to come on the show again for this episode to talk about Gary. We're getting on the phone tomorrow night.

Also, I just heard from Eric Singer (KISS), who is going to be participating in this episode as well, probably by writing something exclusively for the show that I can read on the air. It was really nice hearing from Eric again, despite the shitty circumstances that led to this upcoming episode in the first place.

More info on this episode to come.

Ex Bolt Thrower, Pigface Members Take On Stryper

Christian Rock band Stryper's controversial decision to record songs by secular artists (Black Sabbath, Kiss, etc.) on their new album "The Covering" has prompted a fierce debate between Radio Free Satan DJs David Ingram (Bolt Thrower / Benediction) and Joel Gausten (Pigface / Electric Frankenstein / Effectonhate). Now, the argument has been taken to the airwaves in the first-ever "Stryper Simulcast."

Gausten, who calls Stryper's new release "the first great Metal album of 2011," devotes the entire new episode of his online show, "Glory Is Noise," to the band's latest opus. Ingram, meanwhile, takes a decidedly dimmer view of the album on the latest episode of his show, "Metal Breakfast Radio."

"After just one play of Stryper's 'The Covering,' all the beer in the Metal Breakfast Radio fridge turned sour and every guitar in the studio de-tuned by an octave," describes Ingram. "Divine intervention? No...it's just a batch of bad beer, a few shoddy strings and a load of old cobblers."

"Stryper is worthy of profound respect," counters Gausten. "Three cheers to the Bros. Sweet and company for taking an unexpected direction on their latest - and, dare I say, greatest - album. The Yellow and Black Attack is back! Hail the mighty Stryper!"

Those who wish to join this "ultimate battle between Good and Evil" can listen to Glory Is Noise's Stryper tribute at http://www.radiofreesatan.com/glory_is_noise.html. The Stryper edition of Metal Breakfast Radio can be heard at http://www.radiofreesatan.com/metal_breakfast_radio.html.

"Glory Is Noise" is a bi-weekly show on Radio Free Satan (http://www.radiofreesatan.com). Each episode, host Joel Gausten offers an eclectic mix of music and exclusive interviews with mainstream and underground recording artists.

Hosted by Dave Ingram and Donovan Spenceley, "Metal Breakfast Radio" plays new, mostly underground bands, with the hosts giving their opinion of the submitted music as they hear it for the very first time. Opinions are honest, and often scathing, but all in good humor. With occasional guests, special episodes and lots of frosty ales quaffed, Metal Breakfast Radio has been likened to "Mystery Science Theatre 3000" for Metalheads.

For those keeping score at home:

It's rewarding whenever a news site deems it appropriate to cover RFS and Glory Is Noise - but downright awesome when they decide to play along with a goof.

All silliness aside, this "Stryper Simulcast" stunt has generated a nice amount of press for RFS, as reflected in our recent numbers.

It's been a while. It's good to hear that Mickey can still scream like a girl.

That's rubbish!

Heh heh...

Talented guy. Nobody can take that away from him.

"Glory Is Noise" Radio Show Gets Crass with Steve Ignorant

On the latest episode of the "Glory Is Noise" online radio show, host Joel Gausten welcomes former Crass singer Steve Ignorant for a discussion on Steve's upcoming American tour (dubbed "The Last Supper: Crass Songs 1977-1984"), the "Crassical Collection" reissue series and the band's lasting influence on alternative culture. The hour-long episode can be heard free and on-demand at http://www.radiofreesatan.com/glory_is_noise.html.

Formed in 1977 by Steve Ignorant and Penny Rimbaud, Crass were an English punk band that promoted anarchism as a political ideology, way of living and resistance movement. Crass popularized the seminal Anarcho-Punk movement and advocated direct action, animal rights and environmentalism. The band both utilized and advocated a "Do It Yourself" approach by running their own record label as well as producing sound collages, graphics, albums and films. Crass also criticized and attempted to subvert the dominant culture with messages promoting feminism, anti-racism, anti-war and anti-globalization. During their controversial existence, Crass had their phones tapped, were raised as a question of national security in Parliament and even conned a teen magazine into distributing their subversive message as a cover-mounted flexi-disc. Crass disbanded in 1984; to date, the band has sold approximately 1.5 million records without mainstream support or recognition.
 
"The Last Supper" tour finds Ignorant performing Crass material with a full band including guitarist Gizz Butt (English Dogs/The Prodigy), bassist Bob Butler (The Tone/Schwartzneggar), drummer Spike T. Smith (The Damned/Conflict/Killing Joke/Morrissey) and female singer "Carol."
 
Ignorant has also just published his autobiography, The Rest Is Propaganda, which tells the story of his upbringing in the wilds of East London, and how he escaped a life on the factory floor, formed Crass with Penny Rimbaud and became "Steve Ignorant."

"Glory Is Noise" Radio Show Airs Hades/Non-Fiction Special

On the current episode of the "Glory Is Noise" online radio show, host Joel Gausten welcomes singer Alan Tecchio and guitarist Dan Lorenzo, both of the legendary New Jersey Metal bands Hades and Non-Fiction, to discuss Hades' upcoming reunion show and new live DVD. In addition to classic Hades and Non-Fiction tunes, the show features music from Tecchio's bands Autumn Hour and Watchtower and Lorenzo's side project, The Cursed. The entire 138-minute episode can be heard free and on-demand at http://www.radiofreesatan.com/glory_is_noise.html.

A Garden State institution for three decades, Hades released their debut album, "Resisting Success," in 1987. That album (as well as 1988's "If At First You Don't Succeed") remains a high-water mark of American Thrash music. Since ceasing as a full-time band in 1989, Hades has reformed and recorded new material on several occasions; their latest studio album, "DamNation," was released in 2001. Hades is set to perform their only scheduled U.S. show of 2011 this Saturday, March 26 at Dingbatz in Clifton, NJ. Hades will be joined onstage by former Manowar guitarist Ross "The Boss" Friedman to perform a song off the first Manowar album.

Hades' previous American reunion show, performed in April 2010, is documented on the just-released DVD, "Reunited & Re-Ignited," available at www.danlorenzo.net/merchandise.html. The DVD also includes footage of Non-Fiction's reunion show at Dingbatz in November 2009. Additionally, Tecchio and Lorenzo are featured in Joel Gausten's latest book, "From Satan to Sabbath: The Metal Interviews 2000-2009," alongside past/present members of KISS, Aerosmith and Black Sabbath. More information on the book is available at www.gaustenbooks.com.
