Mark and John are joined by sidekicks Bud Friendly (the metal wrestler/commentator),resident guitarist "Metal" Mike Chlasciak (member of Rob Halford's and Sebastian Bach's solo bands) and the "Talking Metal" fans, a rotating group of in-studio guests who join in on the metal conversation by offering opinions and throwing up the metal horns.
