  Concerts, Sex or Sports? You Asked… We Answered

  Aug 29, 202625 minS1

  It’s Episode 30 of Tales From The Rail, and this time YOU are running the show. Over the last several months, you’ve sent Chad and Greg questions, comments, hot takes, and a few things they probably never expected to answer on camera. So for our first Mailbag episode, we’re opening it up and answering some of our favorites. Who’s more likely to get kicked out of a concert? What concert behavior should be banned forever? Would we give up concerts, sports… or sex? Which rock star would we want three hours with at a bar? And what concert would we relive if we could? Things also get a little more serious as Chad and Greg talk about the concerts that shaped them, bands they wish they’d discovered sooner, why live music still means so much to them, and what they hope Tales From The Rail becomes over the next five years. And there’s another reason to celebrate: we recently crossed our first 100 YouTube subscribers. To everybody who has watched, commented, shared an episode, argued with us, agreed with us, or sent us a question — thank you. You’re helping us build exactly what Tales From The Rail was meant to be: a place where the FANS have a voice. Now let’s get to 200. Drop your question in the comments — because Mailbag Episode #2 is coming eventually. Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE the episode with another music fan. Tales From The Rail We’re Up Front. We’re Unfiltered. We’re Unforgettable.

  Women Are Taking Over Rock & Metal — And We’re Here For It

  Aug 22, 202635 minS1

  Women in rock and metal aren’t a new phenomenon—but right now, some of the biggest voices, best live performers, and most exciting artists in heavy music are women. In this episode of Tales From the Rail , Chad and Greg go from the pioneers who helped pave the way—Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Suzi Quatro, Doro Pesch, Janis Joplin, Girlschool and more—to modern stars like Amy Lee, Lzzy Hale, Taylor Momsen and Nita Strauss. Then we look at the next generation carrying metal forward, including Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox, Tatiana Shmayluk of Jinjer, Poppy, Maria Brink, Adrienne Cowan and more. We also build our ultimate women-fronted rock festivals, choose our Mount Rushmore of women in rock and metal, and answer the biggest question of all: Do we even need to call it “female-fronted” anymore? Who belongs on YOUR Mount Rushmore of women in rock and metal? And if you could send one current frontwoman to the moon to preserve metal for the next generation, who are you choosing? Comment below, like, subscribe, and share this episode with another rock or metal fan. Tales From the Rail — Up Front. Unfiltered. Unforgettable.

  The Greatest Guitarist of All Time: Our 32-Man Rock & Metal Bracket

  Aug 13, 202642 minS1

  An argument at an AC/DC concert turned into a full-blown 32-man tournament. Chad and Greg each bring 16 guitar legends into the bracket — including Eddie Van Halen, Angus Young, James Hetfield, Tony Iommi, Slash, Steve Vai, Dave Mustaine, Dimebag Darrell, Michael Schenker, Randy Rhoads and more. Every matchup is judged on: Technical skill Songwriting & influence Live performance Stage presence & energy Longevity & consistency Some legends cruise through. Some icons get knocked out way earlier than you’d expect. And a few decisions nearly end the podcast. By the end, only two guitarists remain — and you get to decide who deserves the title of Greatest Guitarist of All Time. Listen all the way through, then tell us where we got it right, where we completely lost our minds, and who belongs at the top of your bracket. Tales from the Rail — a rock & roll podcast by fans, for fans, and about the fans.
