#46 - Minutes of the Last Meeting

No guest this time, just Jim and Beardo catching up.

They cover:

• Where the Roadrunner documentary is at, and why chasing down original pressings matters
• Collecting production memorabilia, and a £1,500 Deftones shirt
• Dan's plans to promote gigs in Brighton, and the case for matinee shows
• Jim's hypothetical label: no touring, more albums, licensing to indie games
• Slipknot's secret posters, and why nobody takes a marketing risk anymore
• Why pubs never play anything newer than 2013
• Music journalism, the PR treadmill, and why you can't create a rock star anymore
• What the hardcore scene is giving younger fans that metal isn't

If you're Gen Z and into heavy music, we'd like to hear how the scene looks from where you're standing.
