The Crazy Train Episode #XI September 27, 2014
After two weeks out of the Engineers seat, it was great to be back on the Crazy Train with my Co-host ‘Buzz’. Thanx to ‘Buzz’ for filling in for me while I was away the first weekend at the Maritime Metal & Hard Rock Festival in Aylesford and then last weekend in Halifax for a wedding. Trust me, I missed you all!
We had a great show! Mike LaPond’s ‘Silent Assassins’ sent us a huge ‘give-away’ package which no one won anything. We’ll try again next week. We had some great requests including Mudvayne and some Krokus. We continued to play some tracks from bands that played the Maritime Metal & Hard Rock festival.
We had paid a solemn tribute to the passing of a member of the Maritime Metal Community. DeWayne J Hicks was a founding member and guitar player for Saint John Metal band ‘Victim13’, passed away from cancer on September 22. We play a track by his band. Our condolences to DeWayne’s family and friends.
Some great gigs and Halloween events coming up.
Thank you to everyone who could join in. The tech crew was working on setting up our ‘Studio B’ on Saturday and we believe that may have been the source of the CHSR stream not being available, but fear not! Clicking on ‘Download’ or stream, and you can hear what you missed!
See ya’ll, not this Saturday but the next, as I’ll be in Kingston Ont. this upcoming weekend! We haven’t decided if ‘Buzz’ is going to do the show or if we’re gonna huck on a repeat!
Here’s the Play List from Episode 11:
Crazy Train – Ozzy Osbourne Spiritual Suicide – Dischord
Vanquished – Vanquisher The Coachmen – Viathin
Give – Broken Ohms Save it for my ghost (goat) – Hero’s Last Rite

The Lunchbox: Interview with Jeff MacArthy of The Jack Show
I am a man. That’s one of the statements I use to identify myself. What exactly that means, however, is a lifelong journey that I’m only in the middle of, and probably won’t have a final report by the time I’m done.
Some things seem to hold universal, however, and the objective of the upcoming exhibition, The Jack Show, is to have just about all of those represented. Jeff MacArthy, one of the co-producers of the upcoming “Ultimate Men’s Lifestyle Show“, joined myself and new member Pieter to talk about the wide number of things to be found this weekend at the Capital Exhibit Centre, from welding exhibits to Oculus Rift, from chicken wings to loaders, from beer to rock climbing.
CHSR is giving away tickets to the show! If you’d like to enter, follow us on Twitter and leave a tweet or like us and comment on Facebook and tell us: what’s the manliest thing you’ve ever done — or would like to do? Winners will be announced on Friday’s show.
