The Story of Rock and Roll: S7E6

The Story of Rock and Roll Radio Show

Welcome to The Story of Rock and Roll Radio Show. Season 7 episode 6 aired at 19h00 on Rebel Rock Radio on 8 Feb 2024. As always, the show consisted of 3 hours of Rock and Metal and covered all sorts of artists from late 1960 through to albums released this week. You should find something amongst this lot, see 'Artists featured' below (in order of appearance).

The Immortals track this week came from Blue Öyster Cult, a track called Shooting Shark off The Revolution By Night album. Buck Dhara on guitar never disappoints.

The Diabolical Challenge this week looked at the letter ‘F’. As with last week's 'E', this one was not easy either, not a lot of bands starting with ‘F’. Foreigner got bumped for Fokofpolisiekar which may not make sense to international listeners. All I can say is that if you read the book, The Story of Rock and Roll, things will be clearer. Fokofpolisiekar were a legendary live band and a huge part of my life in the early ’00s. We looked at the following albums and played a track off each:

Free – Fire and Water

Five Finger Death Punch – American Capitalist

Fokofpolisiekar – Lugsteurings

Foo Fighters – Wasting Light
