Cobras & Fire: Comedy / Rock Talk Show

Ep 74: Comedian Don Jamieson discusses new album, future of That Metal Show, Dio hologram, attending the grand opening of David Ellefson’s coffee shop, nerd humor and opening for rock bands. Communication Breakdown was released on April 21st, 2017 via Metal Blade Records. For a preview of Communication Breakdown, the track “Kiefer” can be heard at: metalblade.com/donjamieson. On That Metal Show ever coming back: "Don't give up hope. We're trying like crazy to find a new home. In fact I just got off the air with Eddie Trunk and we talked about a couple of options for a new home for it. So there's things happeneing." On whether he's on Paul Stanley's shit list due to his relationship with Eddie Trunk: "Well I'm not blocked on twitter or anything by him, so I think I'm ok. I don't think he gives me a lot of thought to be honest." On the grand opening of the Ellefson Coffee Shop in Jackson, MN: "We went to the grave of Mary Jane Terwilliger who is supposedly a witch who was supposedly buried alive at the Loon Lake cemetary by her father and that's where Megadeth got the song Mary Jane." On opening for bands vs. a straight up comedy show: "It's much tougher. I always loved the early days when a comic would open for a band and that was the cool thing. For so long it was not a cool thing. And I'm happy to be one of the few comics in the modern day making it cool again." On the Hologram Dio: "I saw the clips online. I thought it was good. Obviously as a fan you debate in your head you have mixed feelings about it but, I will go see it. I know the people in Ronnie's camp care and wouldn't let it be done in a crappy way." On The Big Bang Theory: "We're in the age of nerd humor. And look, I've been a rock n roller my whole life. My favorite comics are Dice, Richard Pryor, George Carlin you know. Guy's who were ground breakers. I'm not watching nerd humor with this goofy, I don't even know what kind of humor. Thank god there's a laugh track because I wouldn't know where to laugh at some of these jokes.” About Don Jamieson: Is a stand-up comedian and known as one of the hosts of That Metal Show on VH1 Classic.

Wilson Frontman has Strict "No Bowling Policy" for Guitarist, Bassist Minneapolis, MN (July 31st, 2016) - Wilson frontman Chad Nicefield announces his strict "no bowling policy" for his guitarist and bassist, risks of hostels while on European tours, drinking violently and, like all guests of Cobras & Fire, his support to remake the KISS classic Phantom of the Park. Catch Wilson on their fall tour with Sevendust, Crobot and Twelve Foot Ninja that includes the fests High Elevation and Rock Allegiance. Who is Wilson? They are the best band and export from Detroit since the Stroh's 30 Pack and has earned Cobras & Fire Podcast's mushroom stamp of approval. But don't take it from us. Here's their official press release: Wilson is not an "internet band". They’re five dudes in a van with beards and big dicks- working harder than your parents. But instead of giving their all as stockbrokers or auto-mechanics or assistant branch managers their job is to destroy your party. Forget debates about the music industry, about download analytics, mp3 singles, and the “charts”. Screw genres. All that has nothing to do with music. But when that Wilson van cruises into your town that shit is REAL. Real MUSIC. Real LIFE. Real LOUD. Real SWEATY.
