Special Guest Drummer: Mike Portnoy

Pretty decent episode. It's not neccessarily an episode that I would be anxious to see, only because I don't follow Disturbed like I do a lot of other bands. But they do have some killer songs that I really like, my fave being Down With The Sickness, which I always played on Rockband.  As for the episode itself, David Draiman is very well spoken and very articulate. He had a lot of interesting things to say which kept my interest, which is something the guest of late of not been able to do. I know who Adrenaline Mob is, I just haven't gotten around to giving them a listen. All in due time....

The Throwdown was interesting. It's a battle between Ronnie James Dio and Ronnie James Dio. Which is better? Holy Diver or Last In Line? Without question everyone is gonna go with Holy Diver. But for me, I have a soft spot for Last In Line because that was the first Dio album I bought. I say that Holy Diver takes it though.

I like the idea that they had for the TMS Top 5. Bass Riffs! Why the hell it took so long to do this is beyond me. Anyway, I'm going to expand the list outside that of the Metal Genre. They are in the Rock field for sure, but I can't do my Top 5 Bass Riffs unless I can include my all time favorites. So, my Top 5 Bass Riffs are:

1. Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears
2. Queen - Under Pressure
3. Billy Idol - Eyes Without A Face
4. Van Halen - Runnin' With The Devil
5. Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion
