Hey, rock and metal fans, it’s TC, your host of Rock This Town LIVE, ready to crank it up for another epic episode! Today, we’re diving into the sleazy swagger of Mötley Crüe, the arena-rock anthems of Def Leppard, the progressive metal mastery of Queensryche, and the gritty groove of Clutch. From Sunset Strip glam to Sheffield’s polished hooks, cerebral metal, and stoner rock vibes, we’re covering the latest rock and metal news, tours, and vinyl announcements for these iconic bands.
I’ll also connect with vinyl and music collectors worldwide to share stories about their prized collections. Join me live on YouTube every Monday through Friday at 8pm ET, or catch up on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or major podcast platforms like Spotify, Apple, Google, or Amazon. Let’s get loud!
- Vinyl Collectors Corner: I’ll talk with fans about their Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, Queensryche, and Clutch vinyl hauls. Expect tales of snagging a rare Shout at the Devil pressing, a limited Hysteria reissue, a signed Operation: Mindcrime, or a first-edition Earth Rocker. We’ll dive into what makes these records special and the hunts behind them.
- Rock and Metal News: We’ve got the latest on tours and vinyl drops. Mötley Crüe’s Las Vegas residency runs through October 3, 2025, at Park MGM, and they’re headlining Rock the Tides in Riviera Maya, Mexico, November 7-9, with Def Leppard, Bret Michaels, and others. Their new compilation, From The Beginning, featuring a Dolly Parton duet on “Home Sweet Home,” hits shelves September 12 on CD and vinyl. Def Leppard’s summer 2025 tour with Extreme kicks off in May. Queensryche tours the U.S. with Accept starting November 7, supporting their 2022 album Digital Noise Alliance.

- Why This Show Rocks: Born from Rock This Town Records in Gilbert, Arizona, where we sold vinyl nightly on YouTube and Facebook, Rock This Town LIVE carries that passion forward. After the store closed, we turned the camera around to bring you this show, celebrating rock, metal, and vinyl culture. Whether you’re a Mötley Crüe fan blasting “Kickstart My Heart,” a Def Leppard devotee singing “Pour Some Sugar on Me,” a Queensryche headbanger dissecting Empire, or a Clutch fan grooving to “Psychic Warfare,” this is your spot.
This episode is packed with Mötley Crüe’s wild energy, Def Leppard’s stadium-sized hooks, Queensryche’s intricate riffs, and Clutch’s raw, bluesy power. We’ll explore their legacies, from glam metal’s excess to progressive metal’s depth, while celebrating the vinyl that keeps their music spinning. Don’t miss it at 8pm ET—let’s keep rock and metal alive!
