#483 - Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth (Overkill)

Legendary thrash metal lifer Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth is our guest
this week on The MetalSucks Podcast! In this episode, we discuss
Overkill's 20th album Scorched, coming out this Friday, as well as
the positive changes he's witnessed in the last 40 years of being
in the music business. And in that vein, we also try to find out
what his secret is to longevity in the heavy metal scene, the
difficulty of separating the business with the love of making
music, how the demo of Scorched kept him sane through the pandemic,
and how third time was the charm for completing the new album.
Along with his chat with Ellsworth, Petar is joined by Brandon to
tackle the sheer fraudulent embarrassing that is Kid Rock, him
catering to hate and transphobia to sell tickets to his show, what
makes an artists clearly disingenuous to their fanbase, and Mötley
Crüe setting off their latest drama for all of us to see. Song:
