Hello my friends! Welcome to episode number 89 of Foxx on the Wire! I was joined recently in studio by Anth & Looch from Aussie rock power trio, WARBIRDS!
It was great to catch up with the lads again and reflect on 2024 and what a huge year its been for the band. We are on the cusp of a new era of Warbirds music, and one that has been brewing strongly for the last year or so of live shows. 2025 is shaping up to be another big year and I can't wait to hear what they come up with.
Be sure to follow them on the socials FACEBOOK & INSTAGRAM so you don't miss a beat!
I also recommend following drummer Luciano Alvaro on his INSTAGRAM to stay up to date with his inspiring journey as a drum teacher. He's teaching the next generation of drummers!Thanks for listening folks, please share, and have a very Merry Christmas!See ya soon,

Welcome to episode number 88 folks with our amazing guest, Tony 'Jack The Bear' Mantz!
Owner and Founder of Jack The Bear's Deluxe Mastering - "State of the art studios with Australiaâs most formidable team of mastering engineers ready to handle any project".
Quick personal story, Jack The Bear Mastered two of my bands EP's back in the early 2000's and I've followed him on social media since around that time. So since starting this podcast he has been on my wish-list of Podcast guests for a while. We cover so much ground in this episode, it was such an honor to have him on the show and be so open and honest. I really want to extend my thanks him for that. We cover what is Mastering, we talk about music in general, his journey on the carnivore diet, mental health, fitness, drug addiction. All of it.
You can check him out on this links:https://www.jackthebear.com.auhttps://tonymantz.com

Happy New Year folks! Welcome to 2024! We're starting off this year with a great friend of mine Josh Durno from the Tassie 3-piece 'The Sketches'!It's almost been 4 years to the day since Josh was first on the podcast, way back in Jan of 2020. Josh made his way up to Victoria from his beautiful home state of Tasmania for a bit of a holiday, so I thought I'd get him on the show in person. This is actually the first in-person chat on the podcast for a while.Josh is always fascinating to chat with, it was so good to see him again. I thank him for his time and incredible insights on a range of topics.

WARBIRDS have just released their latest single 'Bring Back Your Love' and are about to head off overseas on a UK tour!

An Australian rock power trio who have been about the scene for the last few years. The band is best described as playing Hard Rock blending heavy groove based riffs with melodic rock melodies. Executed with enough precision, balls and musicianship to mix it up with four and five piece outfits.
It was a pleasure to chat with Anth and Luciano. I was lucky enough to catch their live show a few weeks ago at the Tote in Melbourne and they KILLED it.

Hello my friends!!! I'm so sorry it's been a few months since the last episode! Things have been very busy and I've had to focus the little spare time I have, entirely on music. But I'm happy to be back with you here for episode #84 where we have our very special guest Jörg aka @Riff_Madness on Instagram, back on the show to discuss Metallica's 'St Anger' album 20 years on from it's release! No, it's not everyone's favorite Metallica album. But as we discuss in this episode, it's a very necessary Metallica album. It was very interesting looking back on this album. I initially bought this album when it first came out in 2003 but have rarely revisited it since. It was fresh to me all over again.
It was great to catch up once again with Jörg who is based in Germany, we both love our Metallica and he was lucky enough to see them live recently and gives us a rundown on his experience at the show.

Back at you again soon with a new episode. Thanks for listening!Craig.'Acoustic Foxx'acousticfoxx.com.au

Hey folks, welcome to episode number 82 of Foxx on the Wire with our special guess Vanessa Valentine!
Now THIS is an episode I've been looking forward to for a while. I've been aiming to try and get Vanessa on the podcast for a while and I finally got up the courage to ask. What's that saying, you won't know until you ask, right?
In her own words Vanessa is an independent musician, ex heroin addict/thug, an adult human female, animal and women's right campaigner. And if I could add to that, she was front-woman of one of my favorite bands a decade ago called 'Valentiine'.
We always aim to have honest conversations on this podcast, and that's exactly what this episode is. Check out Vanessa's music over at her Bandamp if you haven't heard her tunes you're gonna love them.
Don't forget to follow and subscribe to Foxx on the Wire on all the platforms so you don't miss any new episodes. Thank you to Vanessa for coming on the podcast, I look forward to having her on again in the future.

Welcome to the Jungle!!!
A very special episode coming at you today where we relive the infamous 1993 Guns N' Roses Melbourne Calder Park Raceway show that has gone down in history for many reasons! On this episode I am joined by singer/songwriter Brett Franke and Engineer/Producer Owner of Incubator Studios Adrian Akkerman who were both at this show 30 years ago and are here to give us their boots on the ground report and tell us about their experience!Itâs been 30 years since the 1st of February 1993 when 75,000 rock fans to the trek to Calder Park in the blistering heat to see the biggest rockânâroll band in the world, Guns Nâ Roses who were finally playing Australia once again. Joined by Pearls and Swine, Rose Tattoo and Skid Row support acts. This show was part of the Gigantic Use Your Illusion world tour which ran from Jan 20 1991 to July 17 1993. A total of 194 shows.For those of you tuning into the podcast from overseas Calder Park Raceway is a motor racing circuit in Melbourne holding raceway events, thunderdome and Drag Racing. Located at Keilor, in the north east suburbs of Melbourne, the track began in the 1950s with a pair of motoring enthusiasts who wanted somewhere to race their FJ Holdens, Pat Hawthorn and Jim Houlahan.
"The area later became a saturated and smelling swamp due to the heavy rains and the urine."Disturbing stuff. It could easily be a line lifted from a TV news report covering a natural disaster in some far flung part of the world. The damning assessment was part of a 100-page finding from the Victorian Ombudsman into what is arguably the worst concert ever staged in Australia. It wasn't what happened on stage at Melbourne's Calder Park that had authorities up in arms, but what happened off it. Check out the Video version of this Podcast over at Foxx on the Wire YouTube!Check out this entertaining 30 year old news report from the show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9AhqVshmDg&t=212sCheck out the killer GN'R setlist for this show.Some of you may find this Slash & Duff interview with one of Australia's finest journalists VERY entertaining!!!Thanks for tuning into the podcast folks I really hope you enjoyed this episode.

Hello my friends, coming to you today with a very special episode. I was lucky enough to catch up briefly with one of our favorites on this show, Ashley Naylor while he is out on tour with Australian legendary singer-songwriter Paul Kelly.Hearing about the sad passing of Jeff Beck back on January 10th I knew straight away that I wanted to pay tribute to him on this podcast. I thought who better to help me do this than Ashley Naylor who is one of Australia's most accomplished guitarist, vocalist and songwriter. Whether you know him from Melbourne Rock trio EVEN, Marshmellow Overcoat, or maybe you have seen him play guitar with Paul Kelly, Bob Evans, The Church, or in the Rockwiz house band, The Ronson Hangup and many more.
No doubt Jeff Beck is one of the electric guitar's most prolific innovators, and with a career as sprawling as his we could have easily recorded a massive episode.
I want to thank Ashley for his time and insight on this episode. It's always a pleasure having him on Foxx on the Wire. And, thank you Jeff Beck for an amazing career and always pushing the limits on the guitar and being such an innovator - RIP.
I hope you all enjoyed this episode check out the video version here at Foxx on the Wire YouTube Channel.See you again soon.

Welcome to 2023 my friends I'm starting the year off with a BANG!The first episode of the Podcast for 2023 we ZOOM across the oceans and battle the time-zones to speak with Hungarian Guitarist Attila Voros! Over the years he's toured with NEVERMORE (US), SATYRICON (NO), SANCTUARY (US), TYR (FAO) Currently playing w/: Vulgar Display Of Cover PANTERA TRIBUTE / Strength Of Will (passive).
I describe in this episode how I first came across Attila and his awesome YouTube Channel Attila Voros Official.

Welcome to a very special episode of the Podcast in which we dedicate it entirely to the 30th anniversary of Pantera's 'Vulgar Display of Power' album. An unrelenting slab of precision riffs and cathartic energy (as described by Loudwire).
I invited a good friend of mine Glenn James and fellow Pantera nut to help pay tribute to such an important album. Vulgar Display of Power is such a monster of an album there's no way I could have done this on my own - it was so much fun with Glenn we had a great time recording this episode as you will hear.Released on Feb 25th 1992 Vulgar Display of Power still stands as the bands highest selling album and was considered as one of the most influential albums of the 90's. In 2017 Rolling Stone ranked Vulgar 10th on their list of the 100 Greatest Metal albums of all time.
Check out the video content for this episode and more at Foxx on the Wire YouTube Channel.Hit me up at [email protected] and follow me on the socials https://linktr.ee/foxxonthewire
Please note that if myself or Glenn get any facts or anything wrong in this episode, we mean no disrespect to Pantera in any way. Chances are when watching documentaries or listening to Pantera over the years we were somewhat under the influence, much like the recording of this episode after shots of the Black Tooth Grin. We love Pantera thank you for all the years of heavy music and memories. RIP Dime and Vinnie.

Hello my Friends, it's been a little while in between episodes. Lots has been happening over here in my world I hope yours has been healthy and well. It's a bit of a somber occasion with this episode but it's also a celebration of a life that was amazing and lived to it's fullest. We're here today to pay tribute to the one and only, Meat Loaf. Meat Loaf passed away recently on January 20th 2022 in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.It's always hard to squeeze such a gigantic life into one podcast episode but I did my best here and I hope you learn something you didn't already know about Meat Loaf, while researching for this episode I sure did. What an amazing man who wasn't scared to strive for what he loved to do - and that was ROCK!
Thanks for listening and please share if you dig. Hit me up at [email protected] with any feedback."It was a hot summer night and the beach was burningThere was a fog crawling over the sandWhen I listen to your heart I hear the whole world turningI see the shooting stars falling through your trembling hands".~You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth~A statement posted by Meat Loaf's family following his passing:Our hearts are broken to announce that the incomparable Meat Loaf passed away tonight surrounded by his wife Deborah, daughters Pearl and Amanda and close friends.His amazing career spanned 6 decades that saw him sell over 100 Million albums worldwide and star in over 65 movies, including âFight Clubâ, âFocusâ, âRocky Horror Picture Showâ and âWayneâs World.ââBat Out of Hellâ remains one of the top 10 selling albums of all time.We know how much he meant to so many of you and we truly appreciate all of the love and support as we move through this time of grief in losing such an inspiring artist and beautiful man.We thank you for your understanding of our need for privacy at this time.From his heart to your soulsâŠdonât ever stop rocking!
