SUNDAY STRIPPED - SHOW #44 - FEBRUARY 11TH, 2024
SEGMENT ONE   • INTRO - It's Sunday Stripped for February 11th. It's the only show in the World that plays acoustic metal/rock/grunge and alternative from the biggest names to ever do it. It's not just music, it's ABOUT the music. Yes, you'll hear the bad ass songs, but we dive into the songs themselves, what they're about, who wrote them and we play interview clips. On the show today, Green Day's new album came out last Month and they've been doing a lot of press about it. Billy Joe talks some about it. Head Welch from Korn talks about how he used to get away with flying and going thru airports with meth. Jacoby from Papa Roach was walking down the street and a music reporter walked up to him and asked him 50 rapid fire questions, so we'll play you a little bit of that. 3 Doors Down is about to  - here. Let's DO some 3 Doors Down. • Drop • 3 Doors Down - Here Without You • DROP • Hoobastank - Running Away • TALK - Sunday Stripped - acoustic rock that rocks.  Hoobastank , , ,  Head Welch from Korn had a VERY long history with drugs, and he now says he's found God, but someone asked him about drugs and how he used to go thru the airport with them. Here he is.  AUDIO • DROP • Korn - Blind • DROP  • Nickelback- Photograph • DROP • Shinedown - Unity • DROP • Fuel - Hemorrhage  • TALK - Sunday Stripped  . . .  Up next, one of the very first rock bands that started in 1985 and made it through the 90's being bad asses. One of the members of the band was married to Carmen Electra. Guesses?   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SEGMENT TWO   • TALK - Sunday Stripped - Acoustic Rock that ROCKS. . . . . . . This is show #44. I rarely get to play a new song. It usually takes a few years for an artist to put out an acoustic version of their songs unless they do an acoustic album. Chris Daughtry has a major hit on rock radio, and he's already put out an acoustic version of it. (Read about what he said the song is about here.) • Drop • Daughtry  - Artificial • Drop • Aerosmith - Livin' On The Edge • TALK -  SUNDAY STRIPPED - acoustic rock that rocks. For past shows hit the site at www.sundaystripped.com - Green Day. Everyone is talking about this new album they just released. It's wild to look back on their career. Here they are talking about the new album. AUDIO • DROP • Green Day - American Idiot • DROP • Sum 41 - Still Waiting • TALK - Sunday Stripped - Acoustic Rock That Rocks. Sum 41. MASSIVELY successful band. I guess about a year ago, maybe 2 . . .  So some music reporter was walking around and saw Jacoby from Papa Roach walking around on the same street, so he walked up to him and followed him with a mic - and the only thing he could think to ask was rapid fire stupid questions. Here's a little part of that. AUDIO • Papa Roach - No Apologies • DROP • Papa Roach  - Face Everything And Rise • TALK - SUNDAY STRIPPED - acoustic rock that rocks. Show 44 in the books.

SUNDAY STRIPPED - SHOW #43 - FEBRUARY 4TH, 2023
SEGMENT ONE   • Van Halen - Spanish Fly • INTRO -  On the show today, a double shot from one of the absolute most underrated bands of all time - yet - one of the biggest bands of all time. The lead singer will talk about how having found the band saved his life. Can you guess who it is? Sully from Godsmack said fairly recently that after this album and tour, they're done. David Draiman from Disturbed talks about how he feels about that - and then tells us if he's anywhere close to throwing in the towel. We're gonna play a song from, in my opinion, the band with the most bad ass female lead singers in history. It's ancient, but you're gonna love it. Let's do this. Cranking it up with the Foo Fighters. • Drop • Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench • DROP • Slash and Myles Kennedy - Sweet Child O Mine • TALK - Sunday Stripped - acoustic rock that rocks.  Slash with Myles Kennedy. I love those dudes together. Up to a band that doesn't get enough accolades and credit in not only mainstream media, but ... • DROP • U2 - Desire • DROP  • U2 - One  • DROP  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SEGMENT TWO   • TALK - Sunday Stripped - Acoustic Rock that ROCKS. . . . . . . This is show #43. On this show, I do explore some from both classic rock, modern rock and alt rock. I try to keep it in the middle with rock and metal, but sometimes we blur the edge a lil bit. The acoustic vibe changes the feel of the music, so some music that normally wouldn't fit, fits. I'm not the biggest Blink 182 fan, but some of their acoustic music has really changed my mind about those dudes. Check this one from Blink. • Drop • Blink 182  - Bored To Death • Drop • Black Crowes - Remedy • TALK -  SUNDAY STRIPPED - acoustic rock that rocks. For past shows hit the site at www.sundaystripped.com - I guess about a year ago, hell it may have been longer, Sully from Godsmack said the band is shuttin' her down. They're just really done. What a massive career they've had. Here's David Draiman from Disturbed after being asked what he thought about what Sully said. AUDIO • DROP • Disturbed - Remember • DROP • Godsmack - Touche • TALK - Sunday Stripped - Acoustic Rock That Rocks. I heard an old song the other day by accident and I was like, DAYUM, that was SO amazing, and back when it was released, I bet people really lost their dookie over this thing. So let's go WAY back in time - This song was released in 1977. Wow. It's heart. • Heart - Barracuda • TALK - SUNDAY STRIPPED - acoustic rock that rocks. ... Is that not insane? Have a great week dudes.

SUNDAY STRIPPED - SHOW #41 - JANUARY 21ST, 2024
SEGMENT ONE   • INTRO - It's January 21 and this is SUNDAY STRIPPED. - THE ONLY SYNDICATED RADIO SHOW IN AMERICA that plays metal and rock bands doing their biggest songs acoustically. My name is Kramer. I'm a long time rock radio host that's been to huge markets all over America, seen a million shows and became friends with some of the biggest rock Gods in the business. Super show today. AMY LEE - I love her musical knowledge. I majored in music in college, and she knows a lot about theory - way more than I - but she uses that in her music. She had ZERO stage presence and she talks about how she developed that. Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park will talk about what Chester was like when they first started hanging out - and on what level anyone knew his depression was at during the final days of his life. Jon Bon Jovi talks about why they've never played the Super Bowl. And I'm going to do a double shot of Slash along with Myles Kennedy covering some GnR tunes. Let's crank her up with some Three Days Grace. • Drop • Three Days Grace  - Never Too Late • DROP • Trent Reznor - Hurt • TALK - Sunday Stripped - acoustic rock that rocks.  Trent Reznor. In all honesty...  It occurred to us that it's not cool for dudes to like Bon Jovi - but we don't care. Those many years of those tours kicked ass. So it's time for a double shot of the jovi. Here is Jon talking about why they never played the Super Bowl. AUDIO • DROP • Bon Jovi - Living on a Prayer • DROP  • Bon Jovi - It's My Life • DROP  • Velvet Revolver - Fall To Pieces • DROP   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SEGMENT TWO   • TALK - Sunday Stripped - Acoustic Rock that ROCKS. . . . . . .

I don't have an agent, am not backed by a network, and no programming consultants... • Drop • Twenty One PIlots - Heathens • Drop • Shinedown - Second Chance • TALK -  SUNDAY STRIPPED - acoustic rock that rocks. Shinedown. That band has to be in my to 3 of all time best live bands. If you've never seen one of their shows, GO. Up to Evanescence. I love Amy... AUDIO Now, this is something completely different for them. I found it and HAD to play it for you, it's a Nirvana cover. • DROP • Evanescence - Heart Shaped Box (Nirvana Cover) • DROP • Oasis - Champagne Supernova • TALK - Sunday Stripped - Acoustic Rock That Rocks. The death of Chester Bennington, I feel, has not been in vain. He hung himself in 2017. Since then, major artists in our community talk about depression, drugs and suicide or suicidal thoughts. It's brought a lot of attention to it, and for that I'm so happy to think about the people that got help and stayed alive based on some of those people speaking out. Here is Mike Shinoda talking about first, how no one knew how bad he was depressed and then talks a little about when they first met. AUDIO • Linkin Park - Numb • DROP • Slash and Myles Kennedy  - Patience. • TALK - SUNDAY STRIPPED - show #41 in the books. BTW that was Slash and Myles Kennedy. Myles is from Alter Bridge and he and Slash have done a lot of stuff together. I was going ...  I love ya!

SEGMENT ONE   • INTRO - It's Sunday Stripped - THE ONLY SYNDICATED RADIO SHOW IN AMERICA that plays metal and rock bands doing their biggest songs acoustically. My name is Kramer. The music on today's show is incredible. Greta Van Fleet - ya know, I'm so sick and tired of the argument in our community about whether they have chops or not. Of course they do. We should be glad there's a band that's doing something, that in the grand scheme of things is different. Old but new. We'll hear what Robert Plant says about them. We'll do something from a band that doesn't get enough credit nor talked about often enough in 'our community' - Nothing More. And we're gonna do a double shot from a band named after a demon in male form in folklore that seeks to have sexual intercourse with sleeping women ... you've heard this band a million times, and 95% of you never knew what their name meant.

SUNDAY STRIPPED - SHOW #39 - JANUARY 7TH, 2024
SEGMENT ONE   • INTRO - It's Sunday Stripped - THE ONLY SYNDICATED RADIO SHOW IN AMERICA that plays metal and rock bands doing their biggest songs acoustically. My name is Kramer. Welcome to 2024. If you're hearing this, congratulations, you've made it. Amazing show today, but then again, when is it not amazing? On the show today, Alice in Chains front man Wiliam Duvall talks about how he became the singer. I'd always wondered how that happened. Red Sun Rising played Russia, and it's so cool to hear their story about how the fans reacted. I'm so proud of those guys, such a great band. We'll do a massive hit from Halestorm that radio never plays, and we'll do one of the most endearing covers from Chris Cornell that you've ever heard. Let's start her up with some Nickelback! • Drop • Nickelback - Figured You Out • DROP • All That Remains - Forever In Your Hands • TALK - Sunday Stripped - acoustic rock that rocks. That's the band All That Remains.

If you listen to the show often, I think it's no secret that I love Lizzy Hale and Halestorm. I want to play a song that was huge, but for some reason, radio ignores it. It's well-done acoustically as well. Here they are with AMEN. • Drop • Lizzy Hale - Amen • Drop • Pop Evil - 100 in a 55 • TALK -  SUNDAY STRIPPED - acoustic rock that rocks. Tell story of Pop Evil. PATTY in Chicago  . . . this is for you. • DROP • Stone Sour - Hesitate • DROP • Scott Stapp - My Sacrifice • TALK - Sunday Stripped - Acoustic Rock That Rocks. Red Sun Rising is one of my favorite bands. In the grand scheme of things, they're new. KIND OF. They formed in 2006 but it wasn't until 2015 until they started popping. They've toured their asses off and deserve everything they get. I LOVE this story about a tour that led them to Russia. AUDIO • Red Sun Rising - Deathwish • TALK - SUNDAY STRIPPED - and there you have it, the first show of 2024. This is show #39.

SEGMENT ONE   • INTRO - This is Sunday Stripped for November the 19th. A show unlike any other, where we take the biggest and best names in rock and metal and play their biggest songs with them performing them acoustically. And yes, sometimes I throw in an alternative band or 2 - and today I have some really cool acoustic performances from bands that are FOR SURE alternative - but the songs are bad ass. Speaking of alternative do you remember Crash Test Dummies. Their lead singer may be one of the douchiest people in music. I'll let him explain why in a little bit. Doug from Hoobastank talks about his pre show rituals. Red Sun Rising explains the 2 bands they listened to when they were growing up that have made them want to continue to do music - and you will not believe the 2 bands they mention. Get ready to feel REALLY old. Alright friends, let's light this candle. • Drop • Foo Fighters  - Everlong • DROP • Trapt - Headstrong • TALK -  That's the band Trapt.

On this show, I do take some chances every now and then, especially in music I really believe in. There's so much great music out there that radio ignores. I love the band Motionless in White. I'm about to play a really cool song from them, but first here's Chris talking about how he learned to scream. AUDIO I still to this day go back and watch videos from Woodstock 99.

**) If you know of anyone who may like to run the show, please either let me know or reach out to them. It is very hard to juggle reaching out to people and get them to cut thru the clutter of 13 people they have to ask if they can run the show. (Thus the show not being aired on one single iHeart station. lol.)   SEGMENT ONE   • INTRO - Drowning Pool is out with Saliva. CJ will talk to us about the musical chairs of singers. It's funny, his Wife and I are working on a project together. I'll play some Saliva and Drowning pool.

Blink 182 talks about all the tragedy within the band over the years and how they've gotten back together and are thriving.  • Drop • Shinedown - How Did You Love • DROP • Shinedown - Atlas Follows • TALK - That song ALTLAS FOLLOWS was recorded in 2012, but wasn't released until 2020 - and it was to raise money for Covid 19. Love those dudes. I want to do some Finger Eleven. They used to play CONSTANTLY in Dallas, and they are a very underrated band.

Here they are talking about it. AUDIO • DROP • Finger Eleven  - Paralyzer • DROP  • Saliva - Your Disease • TALK - Up to the band GHOST. I admit, I was a little late on GHOST. They're Swedish band.
