Zander, host of The Rockin’ 80’s, comments, “This is one of the albums that heavily influenced my own youth. As I tracked it song for song when it was a new record, we’ll be doing just that on the show…and talking with Rob Halford and KK Downing about the making of this landmark record that set the tone for metal in the 80’s!”
The Rockin’ 80’s is the only 80s show with a mix of the best rock from the decade of excess, plus “oh wow” tracks that add spice to the weekly line up. Hosted by longtime radio personality Zander, The Rockin’ 80’s features rarities from the ‘80s “Lost and Found”, an ‘80s “Two-Fer,” spotlighting two contrasting songs from one band played back to back, and much more. Featured core musical artists include: Guns N Roses, Motley Crue, Van Halen, Rush and AC/DC. Visit The Rockin’ 80’s website at www.therockin80s.com.
