He was there right at the birth of the Sunset Strip sleaze rock scene as a teenage wannabe rock star. Yet despite being surrounded by narcotics both inside and outside the family home somehow Tracii Guns kept his head screwed on while others were losing theirs and is still here 40 years later with plenty of tattoos and all of his marbles intact. The main man of L.A. Guns stops by for a good chinwag with HoJo and Hunnsy, discussing a ton of great shit including Axlâs ass ânâ chaps combo, the âunhealthy ego strokeâ of women falling at your feet just because youâre in a band, the black and white hair guy from âDecline Of Western Civilizationâ who became Traciiâs attorney, and why his dad couldnât believe it when Tracii said he had no Valium for him! Strap yourselves in. Itâs a wild, wild ride.
-
L.A. Guns main man, guitarist Tracii Guns, join the boys to explain what it was really like at the Heart of Hair (or maybe the Heart Of Darkness) that was Hollywoodâs Sunset Strip. Beware! Itâs not for those of a queasy disposition. Plus! Are Jellyfish the greatest band that never made it ever? Does The Whoâs rock opera âTommyâ still stand up 56 years later? And what on earth has Bryan Adams got to do with all of this?

Episodes manquant?

âŠotherwise the boys might stop talking about sexual deviance at Donington, Ratt invading your privacy, and Eddie Moneyâs mum playing mah-jong â just as they do this week! All you have to do to avoid that catastrophic, nay cataclysmic outcome is take our pod-based survey that takes less than a minute by clicking on this link. We thank you for your service!
-
Hunnsyâs been watching too much footage of the M3 Festival when he should have been working. Could your intrepid hosts stage a Motorway Services Festival in the UK? And are you listening sponsors? And why is Faith No Moreâs âThe Real Thingâ album the spookiest thing on this weekâs pod? Thereâs only one way to find out. Start listening!
-
Why were â70s hard rock stage shows so useless? Is there any mileage in a band called Stuffed Animal Museum? Is Anthraxâs unheralded âWeâve Come For You Allâ album actually better than Metallicaâs âRide The Lightningâ? Has HoJo got beef with Lars Ulrich? Will Mrs. Hunns force the guys to build their own studio so she can get on with her work? Looks like itâs a special âQuestion Timeâ edition of HoJo & Hunnsyâs Hard Rock House. Youâre very welcome!
-
Ronnie Dioâs lyrics. WTF? Would you get up for Heavy Metal Half Hour at Hunnsyâs wedding? Did a band called Australian Crawl write âSweet Child O' Mineâ and why hasnât this caused a rock ânâ roll furore? Plus! Hunnsy gets very excited about QueensrĂżcheâs âRage For Orderâ album from 1986, while HoJo puts his stack heels on to stomp all over Sweetâs 1974 release âSweet Fanny Adamsâ.
-
Hunnsy starts preparing for his annual ride to Download, while HoJo has a hang with two very different rock stars, learning that Panteraâs Philip Anselmo loves his boxing and former Styx man Dennis DeYoung is the proud owner of a potty mouth. This is the kind of inside info you just canât get anywhere else! The boys also discuss the weekâs listening with the debut album by Aussie rockers Kings of The Sun from 1988 and Styxâs breakthrough album âEquinoxâ from 1975 (blimey, thatâs 50 years ago!) on the death decks.
-
Hunnsyâs very excited after seeing The Darkness, but there are some disgruntled fans out there. Heâs also listening to Girlâs debut album âSheer Greedâ where the boys ponder whether â irony alert â Kiss fans really spat on them because they wore make-up! Meanwhile HoJo is revisiting Led Zepâs âPresenceâ album and deciding whether two immense songs make it a worthwhile exercise. The big debate is whether itâs David Lee Roth or Dave Lee Roth? And remember coloured vinyl?
-
Have you ever been to the Stuffed Animal Museum in Tring, stoned or otherwise? Why does this have anything to do with HoJo and Hunnsyâs Hard Rock House? Youâll have to listen to find out. Plus! Hunnsy relives his youth with Hanoi Rocksâ âBack To Mystery Cityâ, while HoJo big sup John Waiteâs debut solo album âIgnitionâ. And we get Nils from Norway on the show to thank the nation for their support for our pod, and to find out all about Gumby life in the frozen north!

Bonjour. Buenos dias. Guten Morgen. Bom dia. Your favourite ageing rockers are back in the saddle for a slightly weird episode that weâre putting down to HoJoâs recent close encounter with food poisoning. Why weird? Well heâs been listening to Sleep Token, the least metal metal band of all time and a group that was formed as recently as 2016. Surely that isnât the spirit! Hunnsy tries to get things back on track by talking about âBritish American Rock Supergroupâ Chequered Past and an album from 1984. Thatâs much more in the regular wheelhouse. And hot news! Top Norwegian gumby Nils Brekke Svensson is coming on the show next week to tell us about gumby life in Norway! How exciting!
-
Hello people. The boys are in their respective heavy metal hot seats once more for this weekâs chit, and indeed chat, about the world of old man rock. Hunnsy canât wait to dust off the spandex for a Pretty Boy Floyd/Jet Boy gig in London next September. HoJo really isnât excited by Hunnsyâs listening choice of White Lion and instead tries to convince us that Kissâ âDressed To Killâ is an overlooked classic by singing like Paul Stanley. Is there really any need?
-
Another week, another chance to ask a silly amount of questions! Is Hunnsyâs Pat Travers vinyl the loudest record ever made? Can we get a Norwegian listener to tell us why weâre loved up there? Is Guy Speranza really doing wardrobe on âSlow Horsesâ? Would you wear a battle jacket? Were More a great undiscovered NWOBHM act? And was the production of their âWarheadâ album sonically better than Journeyâs âInfinityâ?
-
Weâre back, back, back with a bang, bang, bang. Yes, itâs episode 34 heading right atcha and the boys are chit-chatting away over such varied topics as why Hunnsyâs AI version of a Foreigner album has been causing a stir, whatâs the greatest back tattoo ever witnessed, and why rockers T*sla are in serious need of a rebrand. Also, Hunnsyâs espousing the virtues of Sunset Strip hardy perennials L.A. Gunsâ âHollywood Vampiresâ album, while HoJo has had a rush of thrash blood to the head checking out Panteraâs âVulgar Display Of Powerâ. Donât make him fucking hostile whatever you do!
-
Hello there ladies and gentlemen, hello there ladies and gents. Are you ready to rock? Are you ready or not? HoJo and Hunnsy are back again, and theyâre still banging on about that Black Sabbath gig! Why? Because HoJo was chatting to Sabs main man Tony Iommi and having lots of fun doing it. Want to know when and why drummer Bill Ward was painted gold? All you have to do is listen. In other news, Hunnsy reveals that heâs designing a Foreigner album sleeve, while everyone gets their Pipers confused. Is this the kind of hard rockinâ chat the world needs? Of course it is!!
-
Well the boys are back in the ring to rake another swing, and just to keep things interesting theyâve decided to do a âreverse episodeâ. What does that even mean? Well youâre going to have to listen to find out. Stories? We got âem. HoJo getting flipped the bird by irate Spanish fans, keyboard legend Don Airey telling Hunnsy to fuck off, and Tony Iommi recommending desserts to HoJo. This is the stuff that dream podcasts are made of. And thatâs before we even get into dissections of lesser-known albums by ZZ Top and Aerosmith. What are you waiting for? Get listening!
-
Has Hunnsy taken leave of his senses? Why isnât he âfrothing at the gillsâ at the prospect of witnessing Black Sabbath, one of the greatest bands of all time, in the flesh before they bow out? Oh well, his loss. Heâs definitely excited about new material from The Darkness, though. So much so that heâs talking about it even when heâs only heard three tracks from the forthcoming âDreams On Toastâ album! HoJo, meanwhile, is tipping his hat to The Mighty Sabs by revisiting 1978âs âNever Say Dieâ, a much-maligned album that HoJo claims has been dismissed unfairly. And want to know what Ozzy thought of Bob Marleyâs spliff smoking when the pair met around the time of âNSDâ? Hereâs where youâll find out! Enjoy, bluntsters!
-
It may have taken the boys a dogâs age to get their shit together, but itâs finally here, the Holy Grail of AOR. Yes, itâs Diving For Pearlsâ reclusive frontman Danny Malone hooking up with HoJo and Hunnsy for a deep dive exclusive interview where The Man With The Golden Tonsils discusses his career and the story behind the album that makes Hunnsy wet his pants every time he hears it, âDiving For Pearlsâ. Our AOR-loving co-host has promised this interview will break the internet and make him and HoJo stars. So no pressure then, single digit listeners!
-
Another seven days weâll never get back. But at least thereâs another episode of HoJo & Hunnsyâs Hard Rock House to make up for it. And what an episode it is! The boys have finally â finally â pulled their fingers out to bring you their interview with Diving For Pearls frontman Danny Malone, fanboy Hunnsyâs favourite AOR band of all time. Heâs promised that this exclusive is going to break the AOR internet, so thereâs a challenge for the single digit listener! All this and chat about albums by Dare and The Firm. What could possibly be better?!
-
Itâs that time of the week again, where two old men go on and on about the glory days of rock while hoping they can hold out for the length of the podcast without getting caught short! This week Hunnsy gets all nostalgic for Venomâs âBlack Metalâ album, HoJo remembers visiting the studio while Diamond Head were making their career-stalling work of genius âCanterburyâ, and we give you some insight into sadly departed guitar legend John Sykesâ contributions to Whitesnakeâs classic â1987â album via some audio clips from a 2018 interview he gave to HoJo. RIP John.
-
Another week, another pod full of ridiculous hard rock chit chat, where Hunnsy brings Canadian âpower trioâ Santersâ âRacing Timeâ to the table and HoJo responds by losing his mind talking about album covers with rabid dogs on them! Weâre worried about him. The worldâs nicest guitar hero Steve Vaiâs âInviolateâ also comes under the microscope, and Hunnsy tries to entice him onto the pod by doing a sensational impersonation of the man. Will it work? Only time will tell. Oh, and will the boys really attend this yearâs Firefest AOR jamboree?! Disclaimer: This pod doesnât last 46 minutes and 40 seconds. Youâll have to listen to it to find out why that matters.
