Το επεισόδιο φιλοξενεί συνέντευξη των SEPTICFLESH. Φυσικά, ο Πάνος Φαρόπουλος και ο Γιάννης Μαλαφής μας περιηγούν στον κόσμο της μουσικής τεχνολογίας. Και πολλά video clip.
Την Κυριακή 18 Οκτωβρίου 2009, στο φιλόξενο Jasmin, οι 9ΜΜ - ανερχόμενη και πολλά υποσχόμενη ροκ μπάντα, συναντούν τους γνωστούς σε όλους μας Yellow Devil Souse.
Οι YELLOW DEVIL SAUCE δημιουργήθηκαν το 1999 από τον Alex, Geοrge και Costa. Η μπάντα άρχισε να δίνει αρκετά live και το 2000 βγήκε πρώτη στο Battle Of The Bands το οποίο έγινε στο An και δέχτηκε πάρα πολλές κριτικές από μουσικά περιοδικά. Το 2004 ο Costa έφυγε από την μπάντα και την θέση του πήρε ο Theodoris (ex Crimson Sunsets), o οποίος έδωσε νέο αέρα και ιδέες στην μπάντα και έτσι πριν λίγο καιρό κυκλοφόρησαν και το πρώτο τους Lp. O heavy-rock ήχος τους είναι επηρεασμένος από την σκηνή του Seattle, αλλά και από μπάντες όπως οι Tool και οι Stone Temple Pilots.
Οι 9ΜΜ, φωνάζουν, μιλάνε ψιθυριστά, μελωδικά, οι κιθάρες ουρλιάζουν, τα πλήκτρα ματώνουν, τα τύμπανα πονάνε, το μπάσο ρυθμίζει και ο λόγος άλλοτε καυστικός–ρεαλιστικός, άλλοτε ρομαντικός–ιδεαλιστικός πάντα αισιόδοξος και τόσο δυνατός, που μπορεί καθημερινά με ορμή να μας σηκώνει απ’ το κρεβάτι. Νέο συγκρότημα οι 9ΜΜ, με πραγματικά νέους ανθρώπους, έχοντας διανύσει ο καθένας ξεχωριστά και μαζί, μια ιδιαίτερη πολυσχιδής μουσική διαδρομή. Διέξοδος από τα καθημερινά αδιέξοδα, ο λόγος της κοινής μουσικής συνύπαρξης, αλλά και η μεγάλη ανάγκη να μοιραστούν και να συνδημιουργήσουν νέα δεδομένα ανθρώπινης επαφής μέσα από το μεγαλείο της μουσικής.

HAIL! To Play FIRST Metal Concert Ever in Beirut....
.. ..
The all-start band HAIL!, comprised of Andreas Kisser from Sepultura, Ripper Owens from Judas Priest, David Ellefson formerly of Megadeth, and newly announced sticksman, Paul Bostaph, from Slayer, Exodus and Testament, will be the first metal band to ever play live in Lebanon. On November 20th, HAIL! will play the historic concert at Hektic Hall in the capitol city of Beirut.

“Breaking ground on an international level is what HAIL! is all about,” explained manager Mark “Abba” Abbattista, “when we first started discussing the idea of HAIL! we wondered how far we could actually push the reality of a dream. Anybody can come up with a good idea, but to create a model that no one else has ever before conceived and then to execute that plan to the level that we have makes our chests swell with pride.”
.. ..
David Ellefson added “This truly is a monumental occasion - to do something for the first time ever is a rare and special opportunity. I can’t believe that it was 25 years ago, but remember how astounding it was when Iron Maiden went behind the iron curtain and played in the eastern bloc? I relate it to that and I am thrilled to be a part of something that has this kind of historic significance.”
.. ..
When confronted with any possible political backlash, Abbattista spoke from personal experience “None of us are strangers to the world. Megadeth played one of the first concerts ever in Northern Ireland years ago, Ripper is in Paraguay today, Sepultura has broken ground all over Asia, the Middle East, South America, even Africa and I was involved in a pr
