Scott LaughlinHOST
Robert Thomas, of course, recently named as the new captain and latest captain of the Blues.
Scott LaughlinHOST
Brian Slagel, good friend, CEO of Metal Blade Records, so I know Gord's gonna have a number of heavy metal questions, uh, for Brian to get into and to delve into coming up in the final hour.
Scott LaughlinHOST
Uh, we'll talk to Brian a little bit about music, uh, but certainly a whole lot about the Vegas Golden Knights, the Los Angeles Kings, and the National Hockey League in general, 'cause Brian's long been a big-time hockey fan, and based, uh, on the left coast, uh, he's gonna have some thoughts on that Pacific division in particular, I would think.
Scott LaughlinHOST
Now, Gord-
RobHOST
So they still had that heavy metal lyrical content.
RobHOST
But they had sent a live demo to the now famous Brian Slagle of Metal Blade, who was all over it.
RobHOST
early heavy metal and still continues to this day but you know he was the guy that put out show no mercy by slayer so they probably thought he's a good guy let's send our seven song live demo to him and uh seven songs from that demo i don't know how many songs were in the demo but seven songs from that demo appear on this debut album
CraigHOST
Another thing with this record is it's hard to tell whether it's good or not because the production is just awful.

Christian BladtGUEST
Coopers.
Christian BladtGUEST
Which right at the time when I was working through the back catalog, those were all out of print.
Christian BladtGUEST
And then magically, Metal Blade Records puts them all out.
Christian BladtGUEST
And I actually was like, I don't know what Metal Blade Records is, but thank you for putting these out.
Big RickHOST
I also like that it opens up some really interesting conversations about the lesser known records.
Big RickHOST
take Hardwire to self-destruct in the way that the guests, Brian Slagle, who was the founder and CEO of Metal Blade Records, and his discussions of the record actually had me dialing it back up and listening to it with kind of a new set of ears.
Big RickHOST
I do have to say I was a little bummed out that they didn't go into a panel discussion about Lulu.
Big RickHOST
Remember that record? I was looking forward to what they were going to say about that album.
