EP559 – R.I.P. Bob Nalbandian
A sad topic this week as we have a bit of discussion in honor of our friend, mentor, collaborator and frequent guest Bob Nalbandian who sadly passed away on Dec 30th.Not the way we thought we would be kicking off 2023. This show would probably not exist if it weren’t for Bob and we felt the need to get together and say a few words. Even that’s hard, what can you adequately say to represent the scope of Bob’s true impact on metal?
Bob, you will be missed R.I.P Brother.
If you want to download a copy of Issue #1 of Bob’s groundbreaking “zine” The Headbanger you can still head to Amazon for that and there’s also Issue #2
Bob appeared many times on FoM so check out episodes 202, 317, 405, 476, and 494 they are all available here in the archives and on Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music.
I would also recommend getting copies of Bob’s incredible “Inside Metal” series. You can also stream these on many services as well. There’s a damn good reason they won awards.
Here’s the Amazon links for the DVDs
