Sinopse

Desmond and DW are on a rock n' roll odyssey to review their favorite bands' discographies album-by-album, track-by-track. You see, kids: there used to be things called albums that were a collection of songs by a single musical artist or group of artists. You may have to take our word on that.

    01/01/2012 Duração: 01h37min

    This episode is so silly, Damien barely gets a greeting out before Desmond bursts into laughter. But once the boys start discussing Guns N' Roses' Use Your Illusion II, they talk about movie quotes sampled at the beginning of songs, documentaries about black metal, and world politics. And that's all while talking about "Civil War!" Cozy up around the fire with the family, and listen to Desmond giggle and Damien deliver his now-trademarked "HHWhat!" response for the holidays. Neither Desmond and Damien, nor the parent company of Dropped D, are responsible for any Hoon Pee or Days of Thunder one may experience while listening to this episode. It's your own damn fault. Also, which song is so ridiculous it brings up references to Katy Perry, Dante's Inferno, pro wrestling, and Nazis? You have to listen to find out!

    Your Gods of Rock are back with the first half of Guns N' Roses' double album: Use Your Illusion I. Desmond tweeted Axl Rose. Damien comes up with the idea to cast the Guns N' Roses movie with awkward celebrities. Then the two talk about the pretty significant line-up changes during this era of the band. Then, they actually talk about the album itself! References to Wings (the band), Wings (the sitcom), Cheers (the purveyor of Ted Danson's sexitude), and other one-word plural nouns abound! Naked pictures of Stephanie Seymour are looked at, the perils of incest (and rock and roll decadence, for that matter) are discussed, Shannon Hoon's urine is dissected. All this in the first 35 minutes of this huge episode! Send feedback and please make the rapping stop: droppeddcast@gmail.com, or 410.871.8192. Follow @dreadmedia and @ExtraLivesShow on Twitter!

    04/12/2011 Duração: 57min

    This episode begins with puns so bad, it almost ends the show. Almost. Why would they end the show when there's so much to talk about in one of the weirdest releases a band has ever put out? This time, Desmond and Damian put on fingerless gloves, and, Guns N' Roses' second official release, G N' R Lies gets its due. In the course of their discussion, there is much said about Aerosmith, Del James, and poor Steven Adler. There's even an impromptu freestyle rap that really sucks!

    20/11/2011 Duração: 01h40min

    In this extensive conversation of Guns N' Roses' first official release, Appetite for Destruction, Desmond and Damien discuss all aspects of the early era of the band. Along the way, they pay tons of lip service to LA Guns, Dave Mustaine, Mega Man, and teenage pop stars. Listen as the fellas recount cassette tape woes, vigilante encounters, and the truth of what seven year old Desmond thought "Mr. Brownstone" was really about. It's a whistle-blowin', cowbell-hittin', fat-people-lovin' good time! Send feedback to: droppeddcast@gmail.com, or 410.871.8192. Follow @dreadmedia and @ExtraLivesShow on Twitter!

    Coming off Tool's magnum opus, Desmond and Damien bid farewell to the band, for now, by covering their misguided and much-awaited most recent release, 10,000 Days. In this episode, Desmond makes several puns so bad that Damien verbally winces. It was all for him! But that's suitable, because while the boys have been on point for much of their coverage of Tool, this is their most divergent record to date! Also, Damien makes his peace with Indian percussionists, but then Desmond goes and puts his foot in his mouth. Then they cover some feedback and choose the next band!

    Strap in, folks. Damien is about to swing on the spiral and go all Tool Nerd on your asses! In a review that spans almost twice as long as the actual album, the two hosts go over Tool's Lateralus. Get out your graphing calculators, you might need them. Also, Damien mentions the name of a band so heretical to mention on an episode dedicated to the sacrosanct musical opus of his favorite band, that Desmond is compelled to censor it. But is Lateralus an album or a piece of sophisticated Apokoliptian technology? Obviously Damien and Desmond liked the album, but what does Keanu Reeves think? Not to mention Riverdale's astrophysics, the Yngwie Malmsteen count hits two, analogies throughout all of pop culture, and all of life's little mysteries are answered within.

    You thought the Tool discography was all a lovefest, didn't you? Even with a lukewarm reaction to the first EP, the guys were full of praise. This time, everything changes. As they slog their way through the audio disc that was part of Tool's Salival boxset, the guys make fun of young people a lot. Desmond bemoans the length of almost every song. But, most controversially, Damien makes a statement so harsh, Indian percussionists may never listen to this show again. Because of said statement, Desmond would like to take the show notes to let the ACLU know that he is Canadian, and regardless of what horrific and inflammatory remarks Damien makes, Desmond has diplomatic immunity. Or something. Plus, tips for navigating automated operators! Send all thoughts and comments on Tool and Dropped D to: droppeddcast@gmail.com, or 410.871.8192.

    How the hell do two guys talk about an album for almost twice its running length? By going on tangents and making references to Blur, Jungian theory, Scientology, and El Santo of course! Desmond and Damien also tell a cool story about a Monty Python record that neither of them can quite recall. Math is involved. No one told us there would be math... or Kathy Griffin for that matter. Join in on Schizophrenic Six Degrees of Separation! Oh yeah! They also refer to Tool's third release: Aenima.

    As the hosts continue their Tool retrospective, they go in-depth on their first full-length album: Undertow. This record is full of stuff that we'll see more of on the next venture. Damien steals Desmond's title only seconds into the show, making for a very tense relationship between the two. Perhaps that's why Damien didn't enjoy Desmond's Britney Spears analogy. Or maybe it's because he has no sense of humor. You decide. I have, I write the copy. Send all thoughts and comments on Tool and Dropped D to: droppeddcast@gmail.com, or 410.871.8192.

    It has begun! Join Des and DW on their modern rock odyssey to go in-depth on their favorite bands, album-by-album, track-by-track. Up first is Tool, the masters of art-rock / prog-metal. The album: Opiate, their 1992 EP. Hear the boys dissect this less-than-stellar debut by referencing French brothels, bands they have fought and will fight, Yngwie Malmsteen, and more. It'll blow your face right off. Send all thoughts and comments on Tool and Dropped D to: droppeddcast@gmail.com, or 410.871.8192.
