#341: Overkill's Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth

Legendary thrash metal vocalist Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth (Overkill)
is our guest this week. We discuss his supergroup cover band, BPMD
(featuring Mike Portnoy, Phill Demmel, and Mark Menghi), we break
down their album track by track as he shares his memories of seeing
the songs performed live in the 1970s, learn how Saturday Night
Special and busting balls was the catalyst for the creation of the
band, the specific reason why the BPMD record was done by all the
guys, the origin of Overkill starting off as a cover band, and how
they sent their version of the covers to the original artists and
got feedback. We also get an update on the latest Overkill record.
This week we are doing another music episode and compiling our Best
of 2020 So Far lists and playing a song off each record we think
you need to check out before the summer hits. Songs: BPMD - “Toys
In The Attic” (originally by Aerosmith) and “Evil” (originally by
