The Monkey Business Podcast

This week it’s all about the MORC! We talk about the Monsters of Rock Cruise for 2020, we recap the best moments, some things that can be improved upon, and the overall experience of being on the boat! We share some live footage we took throughout the week and even begin to discuss what’s in store for the 2021 Alice Cooper headlined charter. If you haven’t been yet and are thinking about going, do it! And don’t forget to yell UNO!!!

It's our Christmas show with music from Morano, Jason Bieler, Enuff ZNuff, Steel Panther and more!

Our Christmas show was supposed to come out before Christmas but so many things happened we weren't able to get it out until after the holiday.

But to make up for it, we have a HUGE show for you! We check in with four...count'em...FOUR of our favorite people and see what the new year will bring for them and what their Christmas traditions are.

Duane Morano (4:00) is shocked he's on a bunch of wrap up lists for the year and hints at a second release soon.

We call Ray West of Spread Eagle (27.04) as he's in the airport waiting for a flight home from New Jersey. They can't wait to get out there and play their new tunes, we find out Moose & Ray had a connection through a mutual friend, Anthony Fonseca, for over 20 years and talk about a possible Rock n BBQ podcast....?

Steven Todd Barnett from Pump5 (46.06) shares the news about them getting on the Enuff Z'Nuff 30 Year Anniversary tour and shares a few of those dates with us.....when his phone isn't crappin' out! (Love ya Steve!)

And finally, we get ahold of someone that everyone is talking about this past month....Mick Sweda from the BulletBoys! (1:18:03) He opens up about how the band came back together, how things are working out with him and Marq Torien and SAYS they aren't booked on MORC but I am not believing it until the ship sails!

We would like to thank YOU for listening to this show that I lovingly call a trainwreck from time to time. If we didn't get the feedback from you we wouldn't be doing it so THANK YOU for supporting us throughout 2019 and we hope to see you in 2020!

Stay safe and keep rockin'!

Breaking News!

To use their own song lyrics to describe it, "When pigs sprout wings and fly Then I'll come back to you". It seems it's official now that the original BulletBoys are reunited and have at least one show booked with Ratt and Lita Ford in Maryland. We discuss that show, and some others popping up that warrant some attention: The Ballroom Blitz, M3, and of course the 5 day boat party, MORC X.

We play some new music by Black Swan and Shark Island, and a classic tune from the Don Dokken solo archive.

We also talk about ticket prices, Supergroups, and at how many bands a person should be in simultaneously.

All this and more on this episode of TMBP. Click the link, grab a banana, and enjoy!

It happens.

You schedule multiple guests and you worry about them overlapping and having to cut one earlier to get to the other. Well that wasn't an issue this week because they BOTH CANCELLED! No worries though we'll get them next week and chat then.

Good thing we had plenty to talk about! We play some tunes from Motley Crue, Quiet Riot, Thunder and drummer from Slammin' Galdys Stephen DeBoard.

Top news was obviously Frankie Banali's cancer announcement and we wish him all the best. Other discussions included Ozzy's new album, Bret Michael's new book series, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Rob Halford wants RuPaul, Eddie Van Halen is a photographer and Steel Panther really sticks it to Nikki Sixx.

As always, you can submit your band to us at themonkeybusinesspodcast2.0@gmail.com or through Facebook. See ya next week!

This week on the show, we have a few out of the ordinary twists for you! Don't worry, we still get you up to speed on the latest news and play new songs from Charm City Devils and Sixx:A.M. We play some live tracks from Quiet Riot with Jizzy Pearl and Sebastian Bach with Rob Affuso.

Our guest this week is DJ Cummerbund, a guy who has become the master of the mash-up, and a major force on the YouTube by mixing songs you never thought would be possible! We had a great time talking to him and finding out more about his world.

As our (bad) luck would have it, our guest for this week, Tom DeFile of The Wilkof Project was a no show. But we still managed to get him on the show....kinda.

The LDT/Andrew Freeman saga continues and there may actually be recorded tunes out there we need to hunt down. We talk about Sebastian Bach and hitting those high notes, thank Post Malone for helping out Ozzy Osbourne's career (yeh right), Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden destroys the security staff at the Tacoma Dome and we chat about our friend Shawn Paige that lost his long battle with cancer and play some of his music as well as a tribute to end the show.

We play the aforementioned Post Malone tune featuring Ozzy Osbourne, Rob Halford's original holiday tune as well as music by Steel Panther and Dangerous Toys.

Did we mention we had Tom DeFile kinda on the show?

On this weeks episode, we start the show with a much needed new intro! We are guest free this week, however, you know with our "witty banter" we can carry the load for an hour or so...hopefully...

We cover news on the Mick Sweda / Andrew Freeman feud and a (hopeful) Bulletboys reunion, Tawny Kitaen rips David Coverdale, Motley Crue takes some tips from Kiss, Quiet Riot without Frankie Banali, the new Spread Eagle release and we bootleg some audio from Jeff Pilson of Dokken.

We had such a great conversation with Kevin that we have to split into two parts! The connection on the phone was slightly janky from time to time, but power through my friends, it's worth it!
In addition, we discuss Faster Pussycat, L.A. Guns, Autograph, Donnie Vie, Dead Daisies, Pretty Boy Floyd and a whole lot more!

We congratulate Duane Morano on his upcoming gigs with Tesla. We also wish HBD to our pals, Slash, Kurt Frolich, and Al Collins.

This week we talk to a band we are long time fans of and unfortunately you may not ever heard of! Singer Dave Brooks and guitarist JJ Farris of the band Slammin' Gladys talk to us about where they've been since the 90's and what they are doing to make that comeback we know they can do. They talk about Jani Lane and his fear of singing, Dave talks about responsibilities and JJ fills us in on the recording process and how soon we can hear new stuff and debuts the new single "Dragon Eyed Girl".

We also chat a bit about Motley Crue's new biopic "The Dirt" that debuted on Netflix and what could have been better about it. We're never satisfied it seems! Also a quick note from Nuno Bettencourt about his new venture as CEO of Atlantis Entertainment. All this, a bit more and the Throwback Track that may get stuck in your head....

Due to a mislabeling of the file, this is the same show as the Joel Hoekstra interview but without Joel....sorry for the confusion.
