Ep. 294: Covers From Beyond!!! Beneath The Hair - 80s Glam Metal Crossover

This week is an epic crossover event: one about sex, spandex, and rock 'n’ roll, and about bands playing other bands' songs. You can call them: glam metal, hair metal, cock rock, or hard rock… We call them Summer Party Anthems! Whether it’s played straight note-for-note or completely re-interpreted, bands love to pay tribute to great songs that they love! In this episode, we showcase the diversity of how a band can take an 80s Hair Metal classic hit and make it their own.

What’s this InObscuria thing? We’re a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. From metal bands heavying up 80s glam standards, to goth bands bringing down to a dirge… we got ya covered! 

Songs this week include:

1. Fozzy – “Live Wire (Mötley Crüe)” from Fozzy(2000)
2. Diabla – “Uh! All Night (KISS)” from Gods Of Thunder: A Norwegian Tribute to KISS (2005) 
3. Kix – “Foolin’ (Def Leppard)” from Hair Metal In Covers (2009)
