We're back to discuss all the latest, greatest, and strangest happenings in the rock world with Geekwire! Here's what we're digging into this time:

Sebastian Bach joins Twisted Sister with Dee Snider's full blessing, and the band also added Joey Cassata on drums for the upcoming shows.

Jon Bon Jovi is still showing vocal struggles in public performance, this time during a Tony Robbins appearance.

Zakk Wylde revealed the song that first made him want to pick up the guitar and explained his motivation for opening for Black Label Society.

Reactivated Sister Sin has released “Drive,” only its second new single in 12 years.

Metallica has added six more “Life Burns Faster” Sphere residency shows in Las Vegas. Mortgage brokers are standing by.

A massive Ozzy Osbourne statue will be unveiled at Hellfest, while Sharon says Ozzfest will return in 2027.

Members of Ace Frehley’s solo band have announced an Australian tour celebrating a late KISS legend.

Geddy Lee says Anika Nilles didn’t click immediately, but by day five she had nailed it. But, is it for the glory or the cash?

Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony say they have not been asked to take part in Alex Van Halen’s project with Steve Lukather. Additionally, what the heck IS this project exactly?

All that and more on this edition of Geekwire!

We're back to take stock of one of the biggest bands to explode out of the 1980's as we decide The Best and Worst of Bon Jovi! 

In this episode, we kick off Part 1 covering every studio album from the self-titled 1984 debut through 2002’s Bounce. The goal was simple: each of us picked one favorite and one least favorite track from every album — no live albums, no compilations — and let the arguments fall where they may.

We start with Bon Jovi and 7800° Fahrenheit. These 2 first albums straddled the line between AOR vibes, solid riffs, keyboard overkill, and rushed timelines for recording. The discussion revolves around early identity, flashes of future greatness, and whether these records are overlooked gems or simply necessary growing pains.

Then it’s into the arena-stratosphere era with Slippery When Wet and New Jersey, where a string of hits vaulted the band into stadiums and MTV dominance. We examine whether the massive singles define the albums or overshadow deeper cuts.

The early ’90s shift begins with Keep the Faith, marking a reinvention in the grunge era, and continues with the darker, more introspective These Days. These records sparked some of the most interesting debate: growth vs accessibility, musicianship vs hooks, and whether deeper cuts like “Dry County” outshine the radio staples.

We wrap Part 1 with the comeback of Crush and the post-9/11 tone of Bounce.

We hope you enjoy The Best and Worst of Bon Jovi Part 1 and SHARE with a friend!

This week on Geekwire, we dig into some big movement in the hard rock and metal world as Skid Row teams up with Sweetwater for a worldwide search for a brand-new singer — and yes, anyone with the pipes can throw their hat in the ring.

We also hit comments from Slash, who explains how the Guns N' Roses recording process has always worked as a democracy behind the scenes, plus tour news as W.A.S.P. announces the “1984 to Headless” North American run with special guests KK's Priest.

We discuss a tough update from the metal world as Twisted Sister cancels all 2026 reunion shows due to Dee Snider’s health challenges, and the reaction across the scene.

Also in the mix: Manowar shares emotional words following news about Ross “The Boss,” Accept guitarist Philip Shouse unveils his debut EP, and Blaze Bayley explains why he’s stepping away from meet-and-greets at future shows.

We check out a funny story from Chris Jericho involving Ozzy Osbourne, along with new music news from Donnie Vie signing to Steven Van Zandt’s label.

KISS-related headlines dominate part of the show as Gene Simmons joins an all-star tribute to the Bon Scott era of AC/DC, the sons of Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons release the first Stanley Simmons video, and the classic “I Was Made For Lovin’ You” video crosses the one-billion-view mark on YouTube.

Plus: Brett Carlisle’s run on American Idol, the bizarre Chattanooga KISS memorabilia theft story (by popular demand), and renewed discussion around the Kurt Cobain investigation as claims resurface while Seattle police stand by the original ruling.

We hope you enjoy Geekwire and SHARE with a friend.
