Recorded live in Nashville Tennessee, the Metal Cowboy Ron Keel joins the program for a once-in-a-lifetime event for Cobras & Fire. This one will make you smile. #ROCKNPOD From that first Steeler album to recent releases like “South X South Dakota” and “Fight Like A Band,” Ron Keel’s 35-year career in entertainment has taken him from the concrete jungles of arena rock to the dirt roads of country music. Along the way, he has sold millions of albums and toured the world as both a heavy metal screamer (KEEL, Steeler, and a brief encounter with Black Sabbath) and a southern rock/outlaw country artist (with dozens of songs in major films and TV shows). For the past two decades, the Metal Cowboy has combined both genres, establishing a style and a persona that captures the heart and personality of this self-proclaimed rock n’ roll outlaw.  Keel’s legendary major label debut album THE RIGHT TO ROCK was produced by KISS’ Gene Simmons – they went on to notch three albums on Billboard’s Hot 100 as well as MTV and r

Aaron Camaro of Decibel Geek joins Loose Cannon for the premiere ep of AC/LC to bust balls and laugh uncontrollably while discussing their love of Local H and showcasing their favorite tracks. . Mission Statement: Encouraging our listeners to dig into Local H’s catalog for some hard rock gems and see them live! A 2 piece rock band from Zion, IL, Local H is most known for the late 90’s single “Copacetic” (Bound for the Floor), a song that, in our opinion, does not properly represent their sound or talent. Local H’s lineup consists of Scott Lucas (Vocals/Guitar-Bass) and several (killer) drummers over the years. Originally on Island Records, their albums have been produced by Roy Thomas Baker (Queen), Jack Douglas (Aerosmith), and Steve Albini (Nirvana). Join the fun and hopefully, you discover some new tunes!  Song snippets featured: High, Wide and Stupid (from Lifers) Fritz’s Corner (from As Good as Dead) All the Kid’s are Right (from Pack up the Cats) Cool Magnet (from Pack up the Cats) Half-Life (from Here
