Remembering Joe Klein

Author: Michael Butler February 26, 2024 Duration: 42:11

My dear friend Joe Klein lost his battle with cancer today. I will always love him and miss him.

I do my best to pay tribute to him I'm kind of too sad to do a real proper tribute but I gave it my best shot.


Hosted by Michael Butler, The Rock and Roll Geek Show feels like hanging out in a record shop with your most opinionated, knowledgeable friend. This isn't a polished, corporate music program; it's a deep, authentic dive into the sounds and stories that define rock's rebellious spirit. Each episode blends candid interviews, curated music selections, and Butler's own passionate commentary, all delivered with a specific, irreverent sense of humor that fans of sites like Metal Sludge and Blabbermouth will instantly recognize. The conversation spans decades and subgenres, from the foundational grit of Aerosmith and AC/DC to the glam of Kiss and Hanoi Rocks, the punk fury of the Ramones and Sex Pistols, and the hard rock heft of Metallica and Guns N' Roses. Whether the topic is the raw power of Joan Jett, the theatricality of Alice Cooper, or cult favorites like Starz and The Dictators, this podcast operates on a simple principle: genuine enthusiasm is the best guide. You'll hear the deep cuts, the backstage tales, and the unfiltered opinions that only a true devotee can provide. For anyone who lives for the crackle of a vinyl groove, the crunch of a distorted guitar, and the culture that surrounds it all, this is your essential audio fix.
