This week, Bushy and Metal Mike sit down to discuss the almighty Black Sabbath. With the coming final show, we thought it was time to dive the band. And what better way to do that, then to have David "Scapegoat" Tyler sit in?
In this first episode, we go through the first four Sabbath albums, track by track, and discuss the obvious invention of the "Heavy Metal Sound".

This week, Bushy and Metal Mike return to the Uncovered Gems episodes. In these, we review an album that one of the two hosts has NEVER heard..
