The Noize Faktory - One For The Road - 7-16-21
Hello my music loving miscreants! The Noize Faktory returns with a new issue of Max Alt Rock magazine, some great tunes, and a little tribute to Jeff LaBar and Gary Corbet who we lost this week. Jeff was the long time guitarist for Cinderella, and he was only 58 years old, he was a man with a huge heart, and a great sense of humor, and his son Sebastian LaBar is a friend, and an incredible musician, my condolences go out to him and the entire family. This one hit close to home, and definitely took a piece of my youth. Gary Corbet was also a member of the Cinderella family, as well as the Kiss family having toured as the keyboardist for both bands on several tours. Gary was a multi-talented composer and player, and was well loved by all.
May their music live on forever.

Hello my conspiring musical maniacs! Welcome to another episode of the Noize Faktory!
This week we move our discussion about Rock N’ Roll being the first target of the cancel culture to the decade of the 1960’s. This is the decade of the birth of the Conspiracy Theory, a term given to us by your friends at the CIA. Funny that. Lot’s of mystery, lots of upheaval, lots of threats to the establishment, and just like in the 50’s, the decade ends with the deaths of some of the biggest names of the era, and the death of the peace and love movement.
The Soundtrack for the week:
1) Come Alive - Thee Rock N’ Roll Residency
2) Manic Depression - Ace Frehley & Bruce Kulick
3) Whatever It Takes To Survive - King King
4) I Didn’t Think She Would Do It - Joe Bonamassa
5) Lucky 7 - Jane N’ The Jungle
6) Espiritu Muerto - Queensryche
7) Home - Minefield
8) Wild Child - The Struts with Tom Morello
9) Ready To Roll - Shadow & The Thrill
10) Too Bad - Rival Sons
Hello my dashing disciples of decadence!
Back with a new episode this week, full of good music and I launch my witch hunt on the cancel culture who took down rock music, and forced us into the shadows. When we get to the bottom of this I know that we will find that some who we trusted at one point were complicit, and others like Bob Costas who we knew were guilty of something will have played a hand in our disillusion and suffering.
Remember, whenever you look at an event or series of events from history, context is of the utmost importance. Without it your observations mean nothing. This is a very important lesson in life, all history needs context, you can’t pretend that the world then is the same as the world now, it’s imperative to understand the situation, even when it’s a challenging point of view, so you can understand the decision making process, the reactions, and the challenges that the time presented.

Hello all,
My week has been on the busy side, and because of my schedule, I am going to deliver you a great interview I did with Scott Holiday of the Rival Sons this. This is from a few years ago as they had just released Great Western Valkerie. Scott is a terrific character, and someone I enjoy speaking to immensely. This is a 3 part show, with lots of incredible music from Rival Sons!
Enjoy!
The Noize Faktory returns this week, and we have a lot of things to discuss. The Ticketmaster Covid Test requirement, and then Metallica cancels their 2021 dates, saying it is unsafe to do larger live shows, and will be for some time. Covid appears to the be the tolling bell for the touring industry. I get into both subjects, and I use some math to give you some food for thought!
Got some incredible songs mixed in this week, new and old, but all of the highest quality! Enjoy, and thank you for always tuning in.

Hello my maniacal music loving zombie killers! We are about to be called up!
As the world descends into a barrel fucking contest judged by self important nipple twisting elitists who make Bob Costas and his brown eye….I mean pink eye, sorry, look like a solid source of moral guidance, I return with another thought provoking and deeply inspiring episode of the Noize Faktory.
My favorite thing about doing this show is my freedom of programming. It’s radio in it’s purest form. It’s radio the way it was intended. I share what I find to be great songs from bands that I think you need to hear, and albums that you may have missed. It’s my twist on rock music, sometimes a bit heavier, sometimes more bluesy, sometimes even funny, but it all seems to fit together nicely, and it defines the personality of this show.

Hello my Mischievous Miscreants! Welcome to another edition of The Noize Faktory! I apologize I do rant a bit this week about a stupid article I read. Very annoying to see such ignorance at a time when so many people are affected and out of work. It’s as if Bob Costas, Joe Buck, Al Sharpton and Jim Florentine have had a foursome, and they have each given birth a million times to self centered morons, who cry because they aren’t getting enough attention on all their duck face pics, and selfies, so tantrums must be thrown, and they believe that their opinions take on new gravity because they believe they are internet famous. I liked it better when the creeps had to stay in their basements, and were outcasts from society, and it wasn’t ok to sell yourself on the internet. What’s your price? Oh, just your self-respect? Sounds fair.
Remember my friends, in the end, we all make mistakes, learn to take responsibility, and you will always be able to look yourself in the mirror and hold your head up. When you live a lie, you will be haunted by those you did wrong for eternity. Unless of course they were assholes and you were just settling the score. Then you will be fine. :)

How are you all of you riled rock rejects holding up? Are you in a need of a shot? Something to pick you up? I think I may have just the thing for you! No, no, it’s not the confession of another D-Lister to cyber stalking young women, or their role in the death of a crackhead, it’s much better than that, it’s a brand new episode of The Noize Faktory! And this is a really good one!
After the crushing loss of EVH an unlikely group of heroes came to help give us hope once again, AC/DC return with a new song “Shot In The Dark”, and a soon to be released new album called Power Up. It’s as if the gods smiled upon us, to give us a ray of hope, and show us that we will get through all this. But not only do we have the new AC/DC, but we have a lot of new hope to share this week!
