This is a SYN Media podcast.

The Great Metal Standoff Podcast

The Great Metal Standoff

Episode 16: Nickelback vs Creed

The earliest examples of heavy metal get traced back predominantly to Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, each band's finest work came from the early 70's with Zeppelin's untitled fourth album and Black Sabbath with Paranoid. 
They also happen to be Imran's two most favourite bands!
After seeing the comparisons being made between the two bands for long enough, Jason has dragged Imran kicking and screaming into a Led Zeppelin IV vs Black Sabbath - Paranoid cataclysmic clash of track-by-track combat.

Episode 37: Led Zeppelin vs Black Sabbath

Corey Taylor, Jason will forever regard as one of his favourite rock singers. That said, he has been pushing Imran to join him for a battle between Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman's solo albums, CMFT and CMF2, for a long time now, mostly because it was believed there could be a lot of fun to be had in speaking about these albums at length. 
Although, when they say "fun", it is probably not in the way it was intended to be. 
Imran's short term memory gets tested to the ragged edge in attempting to find a winner between these two.

Episode 36: Corey Taylor - CMFT vs CMF2

After a year of working alongside The Sports Desk in 2023, Jason invited the newest members of the crew, Jerry Ng and Liam Cole, two fellows who's music tastes are as far away from Rock n' Roll as you can get, joining him and Imran to talk Red Hot Chili Peppers and Foo Fighters. This battle is arguably a contest between the best albums both bands ever released, Californication and The Colour And The Shape. Complete with multiple songs that have gone on to define each band's identity. It's a big risk to see if it is even possible to pick between them. Let's find out.

Check out our first collaboration with The Sports Desk with Sam Menhennet over at Episode 32: Oasis vs Blur.
