Season 2 of VINYL OBSESSION debuted on Sunday, October 6, 2024 at 10:30pm ET/7:30pm PT on AXS TV. The sophomore season finds Eric Young -- one of the most decorated athletes in TNA Wrestling history and a lifelong music enthusiast -- taking over as host. The two-time TNA World Champion is a self-described lover of music and a passionate record connoisseur, armed with an eclectic collection of more than 2,000 vinyl albums amassed over nearly two decades. When he's not dominating opponents in the ring, Young enjoys attending concerts in Nashville while continuing to curate the perfect record collection. His diverse taste is both expansive and refined, with records running the gamut from 90s hip hop and classic outlaw country, to hardcore punk, metal, and everything in-between -- reflecting a vast range of artists and genres that is just as unique as he is. This season, two special guests peruse the selections at either Grimey's in Nashville or The Record Parlour in Los Angeles, in search of the vinyl records that have inspired and influenced them the most. In the season opener, "The One With Dave Mustaine and Bobby Bones," Megadeth's Dave Mustaine and radio personality Bobby Bones talk album art, rock mascots and early influences as they pick their five favorite albums at Grimey's.
