This week in our celebration of 50 years of metal, Rockint the studio is in 1999 – What a great year it was for metal – Great bands formed/reformed, landmark albums dropped on the world and some monster tours trekked around the place.

In the show I cover Ozzfest ’99 tour, with Black Sabbath headlining. My good friend Krusher was there at the tour. In the special shows I did with him last year, he did tell me a couple of stories from the tour, but if you want to know more stories, then check out Krushers book all about it – lots of great stories and photos.

The unsigned/up and coming bands that were on the show, I’ve included a link to their Facebook page. Please ‘like’ and share them and show some love as they work their asses off to create music. Without people like you….. smaller bands will never get to be bigger bands.

Here is the link to Plugginbaby, who I’m proud to say are sponsoring the show – They have some great bands on their roster.

If you or someone you know are in a band and you are looking to make it in the music biz, then can I suggest getting the very handy ‘if it was my band‘, written by Emma Scott Miles. Emma has a long history in the biz. The book is packed with helpful information to steer people through the rocky shores of the music industry. Here’s the link to buy it.
