  Episode 80: Queens of the Stone Age New Album, Mastodon & Geezer Butler + Ozzfest Returns

  Aug 18, 202620 minS1

  Queens of the Stone Age have something new on the way—and, naturally, they found a very Queens of the Stone Age way to tell us about it. Plus, Mastodon’s next record is shaping up to be something special, Ozzfest finally has a home for its return, Scott Ian looks back at one of the biggest decisions in Anthrax history, and Faith No More gives me a very good reason to consider a trip to Brazil. I also get into some of what I listened to over the weekend, including Crawlers, Dead Tired, Phoebe Bridgers, Royal Blood and more. This isn’t just a rundown of headlines. We talk about the music, the bands, and whatever else happens along the way. New episodes every Tuesday and Friday.

  SPECIAL EPISODE : Jake From Autumn Kings Returns

  Aug 14, 202619 min

  Sometimes the best rock & roll stories have almost nothing to do with music. Autumn Kings were on the road when their van broke down and left them stranded. Then a guy named Ernie showed up. What happened next went viral — not because of the band or a show, but because a stranger stopped to help when they needed it. Jake Diab of Autumn Kings joins me for a quick special episode to walk through what happened, how Ernie got involved, and what it was like seeing the story spread online. Follow Autumn Kings at @autumnkingsband . Follow Amplified on Instagram at @darby.amplified . I'm glad you're here. All the news, all the noise, all in one place. Hosted on Acast.

  Episode #79

  Episode 79: Slipknot’s Sid Wilson Confusion, Avenged Sevenfold, Five Finger Death Punch & New Rock Releases

  Aug 14, 202625 minS1

  Is Sid Wilson still in Slipknot? TMZ says one thing. Sid Wilson appears to be saying something very different — and his introduction at the World Scratch Invitational only makes the whole thing weirder. Also this episode: Avenged Sevenfold pulls a fan onstage to absolutely crush “Unholy Confessions,” Five Finger Death Punch stops a show to take care of fans in the heat, Mastodon talks about its new five-piece lineup, and Rival Sons singer Jay Buchanan announces a storyteller tour that I absolutely plan on seeing. Plus, we run through the new music releases for August 14, including Phoebe Bridgers, Marilyn Manson, Autopsy, Descendents, Saliva, Raunchy and a Smashing Pumpkins tribute — and somehow spend considerably more time discussing flutes than any music podcast reasonably should. Also: Richie Blackmore reunites with Deep Purple, Dave Lombardo has a new project, Volbeat fans are getting some long-awaited vinyl, Scorpions have turned “Rock You Like a Hurricane” into a graphic novel, and Hayley Williams is in a duo called Power Snatch. Which is really all you need to know. New episodes of Amplified every Tuesday and Friday. Follow me on Instagram: @darby.amplified I'm glad you're here. All the news, all the noise, all in one place.

  Episode #78: Billy Strings Fights Back, Rush Gets My Money & Josh Homme vs. The Man

  Aug 11, 202622 minS1

  Billy Strings gets hit in the head by something thrown from the crowd — and responds about as calmly as you’d expect. Rush announces a ridiculous new liquid-vinyl edition of 2112 , which leads to me literally buying it while recording the show. And Josh Homme risks a $10,000 fine by lighting up onstage and declaring war on “the corporate assholes.” I have some thoughts. Plus: Bruce Dickinson says his next solo record is “heavy as shit,” In Flames are working on album number 15, Foo Fighters release another pay-what-you-want live EP, Trent Reznor looks back at 30 years of Quake , Charli XCX joins The Strokes, Blink-182 are working on new music, and apparently we need to talk about why men going to therapy is still somehow controversial. This isn't just a rundown of headlines. It’s the music, the stuff surrounding it, what I’m listening to, what I actually think about it — and, occasionally, me stopping the show to spend $90 on a Rush record. Find me on Instagram: @darby.amplified And as always, I’m glad you’re here. All the news, all the noise, all in one place. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
