I did a search on google and I found this
Pretty interesting setlists, though questionable bands were played like Bobaflex Godhead and Godsmack?

Well you can all thank Janet Jackson's saggy plastic tit for us having to make sure we bleep curse words now, since the FCC watches us all a little closer these days.
The playlists over the years have more or less been a reflection of whoever's hosting at the time, which is why some stuff played years ago seems weird now. I remember seeing bands on old playlists like White Zombie and Marilyn Manson who are laughable caricatures of metal bands now, but back then were thought of as heavy fuckin' metal. I think the proliferation of the internet, and thus exposure to hundreds of metal bands in all the different genres that none of us would have heard of otherwise, has helped steer the show away from bands like them or Godsmack ever getting played again.
For example, around 1996 all I knew of in metal was Pantera, Slayer, Korn, White Zombie, and a couple of the Florida death metal bands, when I could have been rocking stuff like Opeth, Emperor, Dimmu, Carcass, Cryptopsy, etc. that I had no idea existed at the time. Thanks to the internet anyone with a pulse who digs metal can get online and discover better music.
By the way in case you didn't know that is Paul's personal website with all that on there, it looks like he needs to update it a little. He also has a lot of good pictures from most recent shows on his site.

I've been on WREKage since October 03 & we've never played curse words.Chris Masochist wrote:Man, the setlist was better then.
I started listening to WREKage in early '03, I miss the days when they didn't bleep out cuss words.
& considering bid & Alex ran the show before I did, I really doubt they did either.

A lot of funny shit happened in the Jonathan and Sam days. Kinda funny that both of them are now GOD WARRIORS!!!
I remember back when Kevin was the DJ, he put some girl on the air who called up and she told him "I wanna jerk you off til' your hard" and he says "Til' I'm hard?? What the fuck?! What are you? 12?" and then hung up on her. One of my favorite wrekage moments.

Absolutely. Stop and think where metal would be (or not) today without the Internet...actually, the Web.Greg wrote: The playlists over the years have more or less been a reflection of whoever's hosting at the time, which is why some stuff played years ago seems weird now.

Haha, yeah, ya think? Been a while since I looked at those pages, since the link on the WREKage site was removed.By the way in case you didn't know that is Paul's personal website with all that on there, it looks like he needs to update it a little.

Hey, I just realized why that setlist page was so old: it's actually a link to my old Comcast site. I moved from there (and started paying for web-hosting), so here's the actual current (but not really 'current') location:

We need to put that logo on a black CafePress t-shirt or something.
