March 18, 2025 Stig G. Nordahl Radio Shows, The Friday Guest DJ Hour Show 0

This Friday is a throwback treat for metalheads as Metal Express Radio brings back two explosive Friday Guest DJ shows from the archives. Buckle up for a nostalgic ride with the encore presentations featuring Tesla’s Brian Wheat and Tokyo Blade’s Brian Boulton, each delivering their own handpicked playlist of hard rock and metal favorites.

First up, we revisit the 2015 show with Tesla’s Brian Wheat – a dynamo of the electric bass, whose grooves have powered Tesla’s bluesy rock sound since the mid-80s. Tesla has been a beacon of rock innovation, melding melodic hooks with heavy riffs, and their enduring appeal is a testament to their musical prowess. In this special encore, Brian Wheat takes us on a journey of personal favorites and pivotal tracks that have influenced his career, peppered with insights and stories behind Tesla’s own thunderous tunes.

The day will close out with a replay of Tokyo Blade’s Brian Boulton 2011 feature. As part of the seminal New Wave of British Heavy Metal era, Tokyo Blade wielded a significant sonic sword in the development of the genre. Boulton’s picks will surely reflect the band’s ferocious legacy and enduring influence. The playlist not only reminds us of Tokyo Blade’s potent discography but also bridges past and present as Boulton showcases the tracks that rock his world.

Stig is the founder and the president of Metal Express Radio, based out of Oslo, Norway. He has been around doing Metal radio since the mid-eighties. In fact, running Metal Express Radio takes almost all of his time. Is it worth it...? "Most times, yes," Stig says. "My philosophy is to try to give all Metal releases a fair chance to get promoted in one way or another. As you can imagine, it can be an arduous task to listen through about 20 albums every week! Still, I know we have the best METAL dedicated radio on this planet, and that is a reward in and of itself. I hope one day the whole Metal community can and will make listening to Metal Express Radio part of their daily rituals! Yeah, right..."
