The Unquiet Grave Episode 81: A Year in Heavy Metal (1989)
Tonight on The Unquiet Grave (9-11pm right here on WRIR): It’s 1989. The Berlin Wall is falling, the Exxon Valdez is hemorrhaging oil, Bush has assumed office, and my god, there is a lot of thrash metal coming out. This episode is a long look at what heavy music looked like that year, including briefs on death, doom, and hair, three big industrial classics, a dip into the burgeoning Seattle Sound, an Earache overview, and a world tour of killer thrash.

The Unquiet Grave presents:
The Unquiet Grave Episode 80: Nobody’s Fool (April Fools’ Hair Metal Special)
Tonight on The Unquiet Grave (9-11pm right here on WRIR): it’s an April Fools’ special, and I have a very SPECIAL guest for it: my sister Heather. Heather knows a lot about hair metal because she LIVED hair metal, as an early-to- mid-80s teenager, attendee of a zillion concerts, and true blue fan of Ratt. In this episode, we’ll go through her Hair Metal Top 20, specially curated for this episode. We also chat about everything from Cinderella’s Polka Dot Twins (I didn’t know, either), the Mr. Gatti’s pizza buffet in Maryville, TN, and that time Vince Neill told us to keep it down. (And after editing this episode, I can say: you’ll hear my accent in unusually full force here). Turn Up the Radio, ’cause it turns out (You Can Still) Rock In America!
You can re-listen to this episode and all the others at the archive here.
