Cobras & Fire is a comedy / rock talk show with absurd discussions about music, news, and life. Join your irreverent hosts Bakko and Loose Cannon as we make fun of what we love. We feature a mix of classic artists and bands on the rise. Rock's not dead. It's hiding. And you found it. In addition to our regular show, our interview episodes include members of Judas Priest, KISS, Anthrax, Motley Crue, and more. Our sidecast “Whatever, Nevermind” counts down the 25 Greatest Grunge albums according to Rolling Stone.
