Fab Guy on a Bike: Ripping Through the Gears of Rock

In this high-octane episode of the “Fab Guy on a Bike” show, DJ Moto takes listeners on a two-hour journey through the landscape of heavy metal and hard rock. Broadcasting on Hard Rock Hell Radio, Moto strikes a professional yet rebellious tone, seamlessly blending legendary tracks from the likes of Van Halen, Motley Crue, and the Scorpions with a massive influx of brand-new music. He highlights his mission to support unsigned and up-and-coming talent, featuring standout tracks from King Kraken and the power metal sounds of Ohio’s Emerald Rage.

A central highlight of the episode is the focus on local UK talent, specifically Scarlet Joy from the Lincolnshire area. Moto discusses the emotional weight of her EP ‘The Burning Days,’ which explores themes of addiction and recovery—a testament to the show’s depth beyond just loud amplifiers. Between riffs, Moto shares industry updates, including Silver Roller’s new signing to Frontiers Records and the “mysteries” of modern digital release dates. Whether you’re a fan of 80s hair metal or searching for the next big name in the underground scene, this episode delivers “total carnage” with a curated, professional touch.
