12 Rules for life in the Communist State of Dublinistan

E 69 originally appeared on my Patreon but I thought it would be kinda cool now to share it on the main podcast, just a random list of 90s Metal Records that maybe you overlooked and are worth investigating. 1996/97/98 were in my opinion the lowest watermark for traditional metal but under the surface many great things did come out! DM me if you think I've missed some.......Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In E 68 AA talks about confirming gigs finally, what does that mean? will they happen? what does sitting on the fence mean? could it not just mean you are nuanced, don't go for the sexy black and white answers and reside in the nuanced complex middle ground? does speaking out about politics and the situation do my career any good as some people deliberately misconstrue what you say in order to meet their bias, should this affect how you judge and listen to the music I make? and why some people always assume the worst possible intent of every comment or post, is it because no one is interested in debate, only shutting people down and winning?.....dating in times of the jab, who controls your sex life and many other nonsenses!!! this one is a spicy meatball and doesn't pull any punches in the culture war.....let's get stuck inSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

In E 67 I talk with the legend that is Dan Lilker, from forming Anthrax 40 years ago, through Nuclear Assault, S.O.D and Brutal Truth we shared some beers and backstages over the years so mull over some of Dan's old school memories, that first tour with Metallica back in 83, getting kicked out of Anthrax, the old Lamours NY scene, Hardcore, Grindcore, touring high jinks, popping up on the bass for all sorts of bands in unexpected places and that it all ain't over til it's over.....and it would seem that moment ain't yet!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

AA Episode 66 is the audio of a video interview I did with Into the Necrosphere podcast, its an engaging, fiery, confrontational chat which touches on many of the events of the last 18 months, addresses cancel culture in Metal, politics, and what sort of future awaits us and our underground culture it delves into Primordial and much of the lyrical meaning and pulls no punches in asking where we, society, the music industry and culture go from here....normal service will be resumed next week! but this one was too good not to share!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

In E 65 I take aim with both barrels at a recent pilot live music event in Dublin, medical nepotism, nanny state-ism, people hemmed into cages to watch live music while being informed by the State to please inform the world they are enjoying themselves, is this North Korea or is it Ireland? you decide. I discuss the potential problems the music industry is going to face, crossing borders, touring, and testing and the banality of how insurance might make artistic expression in public beholden to unelected unanswerable health and safety officials.....this one is an off the hook rant! be warned.....Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

In E 64 I get into the new announcements in Ireland, moving backwards into further restrictions and not re-opening, is the new variant being used to scare people into accepting lockdown now simply as a way of life, what was once unprecedented is now simply a precedent. Have we crossed the point of no return in terms of getting our liberties and freedoms back? does anyone care? have we become addicted to panic porn and is this actually the revolution of the 1% against the 99%? and how come Budapests stadiums are full and here in auld Dublin we can't even have a beer inside.....or am I going insane....? find out in Episode 64.

In E 63 I look at recent quotes in the NY Times on Matt Heafy from Trivium's earnings via Twitch and gaming as opposed to making music and what this says about the industry and how little money there is for 98% of musicians without being able to tour and play festivals, the recent crazily stacked Hellfest line up announcement and what hoops musicians might have to jump through to get there and then finish be examining a recent quote by Ian Brown about the implications of vaccines, musicians who take them and again the industry itself, where are the voices of concern in the middle ground?

In E 62 AA makes some questionable attempts at comedy, does a few silly voices but eventually settles into contemplating the potential truth of the lab leak hypothesis and what this means for the whole mainstream narrative of the last 18 months. Where wagons circled, lies spun and hoods winked? it certainly seems so, but does anyone care? The musical waffle returns next week!!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
