#275 - 1992 THE YEAR OF OUR RIFF LORD

Metal Nerdery Podcast

“You were all pro-bass during the Biden years…”

The year was 1992, way back when a gallon of gas cost just over a dollar, compact discs had finally outsold cassette tapes, progressive metal masters Dream Theater released their highly anticipated 2nd album, Images & Words, and everybody got a brief glimpse of Sharon Stone’s glorious “downstairs” in Basic Instinct.

Prepare yourself for the most “thick and full” compilation of on-mic burps ever to appear on any podcast anywhere in the history of podcasting. Get ready to “grow your nails out and play with your hair”, go fix yourself an “egg salad, deviled ham, and pimento cheese” sandwich, discover the source of funding for every internet troll’s “childhood Christmases”, and prepare to “Make America METAL Again” when you JOIN US for a trip back in time to THE YEAR OF OUR RIFF LORD: 1992.
