ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Mike Bessler and Kevin McElvaney are pro wrestling writers who moonlight as music aficionados. As the title of this podcast suggests, we primarily focus on material by rock powerhouses Rush, Kiss, and Led Zeppelin, but every so often, we'll draw the proverbial "wild card" and discuss an artist beyond the bounds of this titanic troika. For each episode of RSZM, we select an album by one of these artists and discuss our personal recollections of the record, talk about the history behind the album, and go track-by-track and discuss each song.
Also, the title of the show was Kevin's idea.

New podcast, who dis? The RSZM crew returns from an extended hiatus with fresh conversation, familiar grievances, and the usual dose of chicanery. This week, Mike cues up The Velvet Underground's 1967 debut album for a thorough evaluation. From its rock and R&B roots to its avant-garde theatric…
...AND WE'RE BACK! Just in time, too, as the podcast world has likely been on the edge of its collective seat wondering just what exactly our tremendous trio thinks of The Replacements for, lo, the past 16 months, give or take. Here's your no-spoils spoiler alert: Mike is thoroughly confused, Kevin…
For many centuries, the best examples of "gothic rock" were the thousands upon thousands of bricks that filled out the medieval castles and cathedrals of Europe. Then in 1980, the English band Bauhaus released their first album, In the Flat Field, effectively laying a cornerstone of a new movement …
From the Crimean War to the Prehistoric era and across the universe to the planet of Dune, we plunge our needles into each and every groove of Iron Maiden's 1983 metal manifesto, Piece of Mind. Side quests in this congenial confab include tangents and musings about X-Ray Spex, Dag Nasty, The Getup …
How many sparks does it take to ignite a prairie fire? We don't answer that particular question this episode, but we do immerse ourselves in the sonic ocean of Angst In My Pants, the 1982 offering by the influential synth-pop band, Sparks. In our discussion, we look at the history of the Mael broth…
We're going off the rails this episode, as Arianne tees up Blizzard of Ozz as our topical somethingburger. We look at Ozzy's solo debut from almost every conceivable angle, from the wizardry of guitar virtuoso Randy Rhoads to Sharon Osbourne's Mandela Effect-like reminiscences of the album's record…
It's Arianne's first show as a bona fide co-host and in this episode, we're serving up two platters piled high with tangible vandalism! In our first official episode as a trio, we tackle Led Zeppelin's storied double album Physical Graffiti, sifting through its uncanny collection of uncredited cove…
From the sunny shores of Hawthorne, California to the sands of distant Melmac, Rush Strutter Zep Magik traces the roots and legacy of Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys. Arguably Brian Wilson's most consequential work, we discuss the importance of Pet Sounds relative to the overarching mosaic of popula…
It's a podcast of extraordinary magnitude as Arianne joins Kevin and Mike for a meticulous dissection of the 2011 album Lulu. This controversial collab between Lou Reed and Metallica has garnered voluminous quantities of scorn and derision in the decade since its release, but our troika revisits th…
