Bacio Death Trip

Here it is. The final Bacio Death Trip and we're going out with a goddamn bang. Sadly, we also have to talk about Godsmack.

A sincere thanks to anyone who has listened, shared an episode, reached out to us, bought a shirt or given us $35,000.

#35kfamily for life.

xxoo

Name a better album for us to kick off season 3 with. Actually, don't. I've got things to do today. But you can think of them in your head - maybe think of an album where the drummer doesn't keep switching to halftime or end songs with a splash hit.
Regardless of what album we're talking about today, we hope you had a good break from us and are ready for some more insightful and witty podcasting from a soon to be Grammy award winning podcast.

Also, legally I am required to say that Gobshite Industries are not operating any shell companies and I strongly discourage anyone from looking into it any further. Thank you.

Here it is. What better way to end the year than going all in on the Insane Clown Posse. Yes, we cover their wrestling career. Yes, we look at their feud with Sharon Osbourne. Yes, we look at Detroit hip hop of the late 80s, early 90s. But most importantly, we look at The Great Milenko.
There's also a beautiful Christmas gift for all the Bacio Death Trip listeners!

Have a great holiday season and we'll see you in mid January.

Woop woop.

A true masterclass in sampling and raw energy, The Prodigy's The Fat of the Land is an all-timer for so many people. Listen as we chew the fat (get it?) - actually, ignore that pun. It's probably been done a million times. Listen as we discuss the band, the music, the Mums ironing while watching the Breathe film clip, the tragic passing of Keith, the samples, the raves.

After much bullying from T-Moz and Connorlingus, we're doing it. We're going all in on Queens of the Stone Age and their incredible, fantabulous, technicolour dreamboat of a record, Songs for the Deaf. To be fair, we've been going all in on it since it came out in 2002. It's that good.
But this episode has it all - hot takes, insightful drum analysis, techno remixes, a great sponsor, a fun sing-songy game and many different pronounciations of the name 'Homme' because we be idiots.

Enjoy!

DW Norton is on the podcast this week to talk all things Superheist, music industry, recording, supporting Eminem, playing Big Day Out and yes, we talk about Berger because so many people want Berger back in the band - none more so than DW! You'll also get a sneak peak at some brand new, unreleased Superheist material. An incredibly candid chat that I reckon you'll really enjoy.  

Check out Superheist's new album, MMXX wherever you get your music.

Big shoutout to Hayden for requesting an episode on The Prize Recruit and thanks to Simon for helping to hook it up!

Music festivals. My experience with them has been well documented on this podcast. I'm super glad they are a thing but the idea of running one just seems like such a huge amount of work that it makes my head spin.
Luckily, I’m joined by AJ Maddah - a man who founded Soundwave Festival and Harvest Festival which saw bands like Deftones, Incubus, Sigur Ros, Nine Inch Nails, Beck, Faith No More, Iron Maiden, Slipknot, System of a Down, Metallica, Linkin Park - just to name a tiny fraction.
What makes a festival good? What do you have to consider when booking a headliner? I mean, I don’t really have an answer so it is for the best that I just ask AJ. 

He's back and this time he has stories about touring with Marilyn Manson, supporting P.O.D, playing with Killing Joke and a whole heap of tales from the set of Queen of the Damned, including hanging out with Aaliyah.
We also go further into Jerk - the recording process of their album When Pure Is Defiled, playing those Channel V bus shows and how he ended up being the singer of the band.

Again, another awesome chat with Johnathan that is well worth your listening time.

A very brown cover for a brown sounding album. Talking Primus and their LP, Brown Album on this week's podcast with special guest Roxy who had the very difficult job of introducing me to the magical world of Les Claypool and band because I have never really listened to them before. I'm not a slap bass guy and I knew that Les is a creative force of nature so stepping into all the lore and cheese references felt overwhelming. Which album to start with? What do I need to know before listening?

A special thanks to Roxy for joining the podcast and sharing tales of what it is like to DJ Primus at a nightclub in Darwin and an even bigger shoutout to the Motorola G30 Power. 

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation might not have won an Academy Award, but it did give us an incredible soundtrack and sitting right on Track 5 was Pitchshifter with their song, Genius taken from their 1998 album, www.pitchshifter.com. This album is pure punk rock guitars over drum machines with glitched out politically charged vocals so it is easy to see why their were hometown heroes in Nottingham but what isn't as easy to see if why their parting with Earache caused so much drama. Earache founder, Digby Pearson said "what a colossal waste of space that band turned out to be" - man, falling out of love can be rough. They say the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference but can the same be said when you have royalties, touring duties, song writing and recordings involved?

Check us out on Instagram too. Not going to link it. Just search Bacio Death Trip.

I’m a high flying podcast deal maker who recently returned from a self-funded all expenses paid trip to the United Kingdom and we’re taking a break from dissecting Papa Roach lyrics to tell you about it. But it’s not all mile high-esque stories, at the end I’ll run through some listener mail, finally getting some insight on the nu-metal funeral held by Roadrunner Records AND there is a special super secret debut of a certain rap song for those who can endure til the end. Hodl.

Yeah, we're doing a pop punk album and yeah, I am on the record as hating pop punk. Always have, always will...or is this the album that can bring me to the dark side? But to make sure it isn't a full pile on on the pop punk genre, we've brought in our dear friend, Monster Truck Marty - a devout Green Day, Blink 182 and Sum 41 fan who is here to argue for the band and give this episode some much needed balance.
Oh, in the chaos that was this episode I forgot to mention how much I hate this album cover. It isn't Creed's, Weathered bad, or Coal Chamber's, Chamber Music bad - but it is pretty goddamn bad.

If you had Humble Dolph Lundgren on your Bacio Bingo board this week, congratulations! Contact us on our Instagram for your prize. 

Do you think if Eminem didn’t bring D12 out, he would still have as much respect in the rap game as he has? Or does this add to his legacy? Do you think Bizarre's flow is terrible and is basically the hip hop equivalent of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day? Have you heard Proof's Searching for Jerry Garcia? Whatever your answers are to these questions, you should listen to this podcast. Then follow us on Instagram. Then sign up to our Patreon. Then buy all of our merchandise. Then drop in-jokes from the podcast at house parties to deafening silence. Then binge all of the old episode. Then base your personality around the podcast. Then move to our commune and discover a true spiritual awakening.

In a desperate effort to pay off our CD writer, we have released another episode with a big sponsor, so please support them.

Also, I know at the start I say this is episode 78 but we shuffled some things around to get the Johnathan Devoy episode out because it was so good and the world needed to hear his Disturbed story as soon as possible. 

Easily one of the best interviews, I've ever done, I know you're going to enjoy this episode with Jerk singer, Johnathan Devoy as we discuss touring with Insane Clown Posse and Disturbed, why he hates the single 'I Hate People Like That', what Johnny Rotten thinks of the band and of course, being the drummer in Queen of the Damned and how itchy eyebrow stubble can be.

Honestly, this episode is so much fun. Johnathan brought the A grade stories and a real candidness to the podcast. 

You might think you haven’t heard The Mad Capsule Markets before, but if you played Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 then you have. Not me though. I dropped out after THPS2 so Mad Caps were new to me. I don’t even think I had seen their name written anywhere. Luckily, Psychonaut has been a fan for two decades now so he’ll guide us through the album.

They played Ozzfest, Download Fest, Fuji Rock, supported RATM and Fear Factory and those who love them absolutely love them so they are worth checking out.

If you’ve ever had Psycho Mantis creep up into your memory card or lost your mind to the Mortal Kombat theme, this is the episode for you.

So pop in and hear us talk about Japan’s very own, The Mad Capsule Markets.

Hi, I am a mid 30's Australian male and I have only just discovered how good Silverchair are. Well, in particular Neon Ballroom and this week's album, Diorama. Beautifully ambitious songs with imaginative orchestral scores underneath and a real sense of hope and optimism in the lyrics. Surely one of the few bands who found success, started wearing pork pie hats and actually got better!

We've tracked down an early member of the Llama Appreciation Society, the Silverchair fan club to hear what life was like as an early Silverchair fan and we play a very revealing game.

Enjoy! 

Chimaira found themselves on a pretty big record deal from Roadrunner Records and had to deliver a pretty big record and to our ears, they did. But were the Roadrunner boffins happy with it? Were they able to break through the Hatebreed ceiling? This album has a lot of fans and personally, I reckon it's one of those 'if you know, you know' albums that is probably a lot more influential than people might think. It mixes Slipknot riffs with elements of Deftones and Fear Factory and singer, Mark Hunter has even said that Mudvayne's Death Blooms was an inspiration. I'd argue this album is way more consistent than LD50 though. I wonder what Mr. Muse would say.

I promise that you wil not find a more mature conversation about Crazy Town anywhere else than on this week’s episode of the soon to be award winning podcast, Bacio Death Trip. You’ll also struggle to find a funkier episode as well.

We give a bit more context to the band, their hit single Butterfly and see what Mr. Muse thinks of the record.

Enjoy!

Grey goo may be piling up so stockpile your baked beans and axes and hunker down as we talk bout Muse and their big, ambitious third album, Absolution. Another album where the opening track is called Intro. The interlude is called Interlude. Height of creativity here. But Matt Bellamy can write a song. He can hit the high notes. He can shred and smash a guitar. In fact he set a Guinness World Record for smashing the most guitars in a year, that's edgy. But that's Muse. They march forward bravely into new frontiers, writing dangerous songs tackling concepts like Compliance and getting high on your own supply. 

Easily the most requested album we've had, it was great to learn more about much beloved frontman, Dave Williams but how does this album stack up? Without the WWF blasting their hit single, Bodies near 16 times a week, would that song be as ingrained in our memories? Or were Jagermeister right to sponsor the band, put them on Jagermeister tours and Jagermeister compilation CD's to help take them to a much bigger audience?

This episode is dedicated to all the former webmasters out there and we sincerely hope they take a break from finding a keygen for Microsoft FrontPage 98 and enjoy this episode on Dry Kill Logic's, The Darker Side of Nonsense. Is this a nu-metal classic? Is that even a good thing? Is there more on this record than first meets the eye? There must be, right? Because the numetal subreddit loves this album as do a bunch of Youtube commenters claiming this record is still in their regular rotation.

Also, where does The Dark Knight Rises rank in Batman movies? Like really, have a solid think about the massive plot holes. Are they forgivable?

A lot of bands from the early 2000’s have people claiming they are underrated. Releasing albums before everyone had the internet in the home has meant that their records are harder to find and the footage on Youtube is low res but also releasing albums after the industry had started losing money to online file sharing. But American Head Charge, and in particular this album is underrated. I hope to see AHC come back into fashion one day the same way Nirvana has. American Head Charge’s Just So You Know playing over every scene of the next Batman movie. Their shirts sold in K-Mart. I want an American Head Charge revolution so everyone can be walking down the straight with A Violent Reaction in their headphones, banging into people Bittersweet Symphony style.

But this is the first step in this revolution - listening to this episode. Be the change you want to see in the world.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains references to self-harm, domestic violence, addiction and mental health issues.

I've been crowned the podcast angel and my first decree is that we must analyse Human Clay's cover art, discuss why Creed are a tricky band to listen to and go deep on Scream 3. Find me a worse film clip than Creed's, What If? I dare ya. Double dog dare ya.
Creed were massive. They sold a lot of records. But how does this album hold up?

Also, don't worry horny Dads, we've got something special for you.

Love always,
BDT

If you aren’t listening to Relationship of Command, you’re listening to too much hip hop and heavy metal. You’re also not listening to enough Bacio Death Trip. No one is though. Put in the hours. Make it form your personality like some fedora wearing dude reading The Game. Start negging us as we peacock around and talk about a band that imploded 6 months after this amazing album came out.

Yes we talk about the Big Day Out walk off, the guitar work, scaring Robbie Williams on Later with Jools, the kick in the throat to nu-metal and as always, the world’s greatest character actor gets a mention.

It’s a good time to invest in Bacio Death Trip because one of us is really smart now.

In the early 2000's, Roadrunner Records released so much music from a lot of bands you probably never heard of. Downthesun might be one of them but are they worth your time all these years later? I mean, they were championed and produced by Clown from Slipknot, so they can't be all bad, can they?

Plus, you'll finally get to hear if I would rather listen to Cold's, 13 Ways to Bleed Onstage or the Foo Fighters', There's Nothing Left to Lose. It's a real heart vs head moment. Difficult choices were made.

Great sponsor this week and a very fun game as well. 

Constantly grinding. Moving truthfully. Eyes open. Eyes shut. Always.
