From Wiki: Destiny’s Child was an American girl group whose final and best-known line-up comprised Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. Formed in 1997 in Houston, Texas, Destiny’s Child members began their musical career as Girl’s Tyme, formed in 1990, comprising Knowles, Rowland, LaTavia Roberson, and LeToya Luckett among others.[1] After years of limited success, the quartet were signed in 1997 to Columbia Records and Music World Entertainment as Destiny’s Child. Destiny’s Child was launched into mainstream recognition following the release of their best-selling second album, The Writing’s on the Wall (1999), which contained the number-one singles “Bills, Bills, Bills” and “Say My Name“. Despite critical and commercial success, the group was plagued by internal conflict and legal turmoil, as Roberson and Luckett attempted to split from the group’s manager Mathew Knowles, citing favoritism of Knowles and Rowland.
In early 2000, both Roberson and Luckett were replaced with Williams and Farrah Franklin; however, Franklin quit after five months, leaving the group as a trio. Their third album, Survivor (2001), which contains themes the public interpreted as a channel to the group’s experience, contains the worldwide hits “Independent Women“, “Survivor” and “Bootylicious“. In 2002, they announced a hiatus and re-united two years later for the release of their fourth and final studio album, Destiny Fulfilled (2004). Destiny’s Child has sold more than sixty million records worldwide to date.[2]Billboard magazine ranks the group as one of the greatest musical trios of all time,[3] the ninth most successful artist/band of the 2000s,[4] placed the group 68th in its All-Time Hot 100 Artists list in 2008[5] and in December 2016, the magazine ranked them as the 90th most successful dance club artist of all-time.[6] The group was nominated for 14 Grammy Awards, winning twice for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and once for Best R&B Song.

An episode first recovered over a decade ago, now with a huge audio upgrade and 100% complete with the missing 13 minutes finally restored. Caprice proved to be quite the divisive guest in her only appearance on the show although she did leave a drop or two. Overall fans seem to agree that she was standoffish and angry, some listeners think Adam was the source of any negativity. Once again listen and decide for yourself.
From Wiki: Caprice Bourret (born October 24, 1971) is an American businesswoman, model, actress, and television personality. She lives in London where she runs her company, By Caprice.[1]

An episode I first recovered a decade ago. Now 100% complete, with the missing 3 minutes restored. Josie is making her only appearance on CLL. She’s a huge fan of the show and a guest like no other, this is the definition of a “Sleeper Classic” episode and guest. She’s dynamite!
From Wiki: Josie Rebecca Davis (born January 16, 1973) is an American actress, best known for her role as Sarah Powell in the television sitcomCharles in Charge from 1987 to 1990.
An episode I first recovered 7 years ago. Recorded off the KROQ broadcast replacing the partial recording that preceded it. Now remastered like it’s never been before, breaks restored. 100% complete. This is Episode #4 of the 18 DAG appearances on CLL during Adam’s era, there are 14 more to go. This is the first DAG ep where things really start to build in regards to the rapport and friendship among the 3 men along with DAG’s freedom to cut loose and go sick with the comedy, he lets his hands go in this one! This episode also features an ominous mention of Cuba Gooding Jr. which will payoff in about 2 years when DAG returns heartbroken and manic due to a relationship issue. Simply the best guest in Loveline history and he’s only on less than 1% of the episodes, so any complaints about him are more reflective of the very few people complaining than his performances on air. DAG once said these visits to Loveline were among his best comedic work and now we all get to relive them and enjoy the brilliance! CLL #1142 is still missing from the archive, unclear if it was a ‘Best Of’ recording or a new episode with guest Andy Lauer making his 2nd and final appearance.

An episode I first recovered about 10 years ago, now with a brand new final transfer with the best possible audio quality and now 100% complete, with the missing chunk from the tape flip restored. Dr. Bruce is on fire and the guests have a great rapport with both Adam and Bruce. Top notch episode. Sadly CLL #1139 (feat. Ron Lester) is still missing along with CLL #1140 (The Suicide Kings), like lost to time forever.
From Wiki: Anthrax is an American heavy metal band from New York City, formed in 1981 by rhythm guitarist Scott Ian and bassist Dan Lilker. The group was considered one of the leaders of the thrash metal scene during the 1980s and is one of the “Big Four” thrash metal bands with Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer; Anthrax is the only one of the four from the East Coast. As of April 2017, the band has released 11 studio albums, several other albums, and 26 singles, including collaborating on a single with American hip hop group Public Enemy. According to Nielsen SoundScan, Anthrax sold 2.5 million records in the United States from 1991 to 2004, with worldwide sales of 10 million.
Noted for its live performances, Anthrax signed with the independent label Megaforce Records, which released the band’s debut studio album in 1984. Lilker soon left the band to form Nuclear Assault, and was replaced by roadieFrank Bello. Lead vocalist Neil Turbin was replaced after two years by Matt Fallon, who was then subsequently replaced in 1984 by Joey Belladonna. With a new lineup, the band recorded Spreading the Disease (distributed by Island Records) in 1985. Anthrax’s third album, Among the Living, was released in 1987 to critical praise. The band experienced another lineup change in 1992, when John Bush from Armored Saint replaced Belladonna as lead vocalist. Sound of White Noise was released the following year, peaking at number seven on the Billboard 200. Studio recordings during the 1990s saw the band, influenced by other genres, experimenting with its sound.
Anthrax’s lineup has changed several times over their career. The band has had a number of vocalists including Neil Turbin, Joey Belladonna, Dan Nelson and John Bush. Founding member Scott Ian and early arrival Charlie Benante, who joined Anthrax in 1983, are the only band members to appear on every album. Bassist Frank Bello has played on every album, except for the band’s debut Fistful of Metal, which featured Dan Lilker. After briefly rejoining the band from 2005 to 2007, Belladonna returned to Anthrax once again in 2010, and the band has since recorded two more studio albums with him: Worship Music (2011) and For All Kings (2016).

An episode first archived 18 years ago, now with 2 other tapes merged and 95% complete, only missing just over 5 minutes from the top of the 3rd segment and a few seconds during a tape flip later in the show during a call. Juliet is making her only appearance on CLL. Juliet is a fan of the show and starts out a little quiet but eventually starts giving out advice and becomes a very solid guest, Adam and her scour her car for a copy of her latest DVD, a bogus caller has a key South Park reference, Taboo II gets brought up and Adam and Juliet do a little “acting” work towards the end of the show, Great episode now the best it’s ever been presented since it originally aired. This one took a lot of work to reassemble segment by segment. Enjoy!
From IMDb: Juliet Cariaga was born on December 5, 1977 in San Bernardino County, California, USA as Erica Diane Lookadoo. She is known for her work on Raising Helen (2004), There’s Something About Mary (1998) and Stuck on You (2003).
