Episode 44 - Mötley Crüe, Marilyn Manson & Rob Zombie All Surprised Me

Author: Bryan Shaw August 25, 2026 Duration: 17:35
I wasn't expecting much from Mötley Crüe. I'd never seen Marilyn Manson live. And I've got my own opinions about Rob Zombie. Then I went to the shows... and apparently I was wrong about a few things. In episode 44, I recap two killer weeks of live rock & roll featuring Extreme, Tesla, Mötley Crüe, The Hu, Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie. Mötley Crüe was better than I expected, Manson absolutely surprised me, and Rob Zombie once again proved he's one hell of a live performer. Plus, expensive concert booze, some world-class people-watching, and a public service announcement for dudes who insist on walking around concerts without shirts. Rock & roll. Loud guitars. Live shows. Questionable decisions.

Bryan Shaw pulls up a barstool for I'm Leaving Right After This Drink... Rock N Roll, Whiskey, and Other Stories, a podcast that feels like the best kind of late-night conversation after the gig is over. Each episode is drawn from his long, winding career in the entertainment business, where the lines between professional anecdote and personal confession deliciously blur. You might hear a story about a legendary guitarist's backstage ritual from two decades ago, followed by a reflection on a perfectly smoky bourbon discovered just last week. The throughline is a life lived in and around the culture of rock music, examined with the warmth and clarity that only comes with hindsight-and maybe a good drink in hand. This isn't a formal interview show or a polished history lesson; it's a collection of moments, mishaps, and minor revelations that together paint a vivid picture of the scene from the inside. Bryan's tales span music, commentary, and the sheer documentary weirdness of life on the road, all shared in a candid, meandering style that invites you to lean in and listen. The result is a deeply personal audio memoir where every story, whether it's about a chaotic tour or a quiet moment of realization, feels earned and authentically human. Tune in for a podcast that captures the spirit of rock and roll not through grand pronouncements, but through the specific, sometimes messy, stories that actually happened.
