  • Episode 556-The Best And Worst Of Pantera
    Mar 20 2026

    This week on America’s Podcast, the amps are cranked past 11 and the groove hits harder than a Dimebag riff. 🤘 With family member Favio Vegas and newly adopted family member Mark Mckibben, we tackle the best and worst of Pantera — breaking it all down from Cowboys from Hell to Reinventing the Steel.

    No hairspray. No spandex. No Glamtera. Just pure groove metal carnage. 🔥

    We dive into the riffs, the groove, the attitude, and maybe a few arguments louder than the guitars themselves. This episode is 100% Pantera, and even the Tracks of the Week are all groove metal destruction:

    ⚡ Favio: “Goddamn Electric” 😈 Jerry: “Psycho Holiday” 💪 Mark: “Regular People (Conceit)” 🔥 Marc: “Fucking Hostile” ⚔️ Mooger: “Strength Beyond Strength”

    So crank it up, throw the horns high, and join us as we celebrate one of the heaviest bands to ever shake the speakers. 🤘

    Until next week… Make it Goddamn Electric and Fucking Hostile… and be good to each other.

    We are OUT. 🤘

  • Episode 555-Dokken-Under Lock And Key
    Mar 13 2026

    This week on America’s Podcast — maybe a little dysfunctional, definitely loud — family member Travis Perrotta joins us as we crank up the Way Back Machine and rocket straight into the 1980s. You know, back when the riffs were hard, the melodies were massive, the jeans were tighter than your cable budget, and MTV actually played music.

    We’re diving into Under Lock and Key by Dokken — the album that somehow got recorded without the band entering a full-on steel cage match. How did they survive those sessions without someone getting power-chorded into next week? We may never know. But when you’ve got guitar wizard George Lynch firing off riffs like a neon lightning bolt, something magical (or at least very loud) is bound to happen.

    Will lightning strike? Or will this record turn into a Badlands-style nightmare? No spoilers — you’ll have to tune in to find out if it truly Unchains the Night… or just tangles it up in Aqua Net and attitude.

    🔥 Tracks of the Week 🔥
    • Jerry: “Wicked Sensation” – Lynch Mob

    • Travis: “Those Shoes” – Eagles

    • Mooger: “Is This the Real You?” – Sevendust

    • Marc: “Blackout” – Scorpions

    Until next week — don’t let the drama get to you. Don’t be a Dokken… just Unchain the Night and Let It Rock.

    We’re outta here. 🤘

    Joining us is VERY special family member Andy Rodriguez, and together we ask the big questions: Will this album Bring It On Home… or will it end up Like a Lemon? 🍋 (No spoilers — we’re not monsters.)
