Show notes
In this episode of the Rock and Roll Geek Show, Michael Butler reacts to the news that legendary Manowar guitarist Ross The Boss has been diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. He talks about Ross’s impact on classic heavy metal, his guitar work with Manowar and beyond, and what this diagnosis means for the metal community.[podcastaddict]
Butler shares personal reflections on Ross The Boss, plays key tracks that defined his career, and invites fellow rock and roll geeks to send in their stories, memories, and well wishes. If you love old-school heavy metal, epic riffs, and deep-cut rock talk, this is a must-hear episode.
