Jason Gore and Geoff Garlock are back for Hawk Rock Talk with Heavy Metal Mania.
This time, they’re going through a 1992 Columbia House heavy metal ad and each choosing twelve cassettes for one penny. The picks include Metallica, Sepultura, Black Sabbath, Soundgarden, Faith No More, Alice In Chains, Anthrax, Dio, Judas Priest, Rainbow, Cinderella, Spinal Tap, and more.
Also discussed: Columbia House typos, Scorpions and the CIA, whether Pearl Jam counts as heavy metal, why there is so much Saigon Kick in this ad, and the cassette-buying stress of trying to make the perfect twelve picks.
Hawk Rock Summer continues until Monday, August 17th, when Series 7 of 108.9 The Hawk premieres!
