books music saying
My books are personal: I'm not saying they're the Bible of music.
interest kid people photo starting ticket trying ultimate watch
When I was a kid just starting out on the radio, I would always watch people. And I'd see the interest they'd have in trying to get a photo with an artist or get a ticket stub signed. I guess, to me, that's the ultimate thing - to know that what you've done is important enough to other people that they want to take a picture with you.
fact genre love open vocal
I'm completely open about the fact that I don't love every genre of metal. I like what I like. It's got to have some vocal quality and some semblance of melody.
jersey
Skid Row would probably be my favorite Jersey band.
major travel
If you're not in a major city, many bands don't come your way, and you have to really travel to see them.
bands clubs jersey maybe plenty supports tour york
In a way, Jersey really supports rock, maybe more than New York City and Long Island. I know plenty of bands that tour and do much better at Starland or other clubs in New Jersey than others in the tri-state area.
awesome love tv
I still love radio, but TV is also an awesome platform.
I have never said anything critical about Ozzy that he didn't say about himself many times.
life literally music
I have literally been working in music just about my entire life.
cd music
I have an iPod, but I put my music in it from my CDs, and then I have that CD in my library.
since
I am so appreciative of all the attention I've gotten, especially since I don't ever consider myself anything more than a fan.
cover created possibly wrote
How do you possibly say that a cover band is better than the band that created and wrote the material? It's absurd.
anytime good mainstream tv
Anytime rock and metal can get on mainstream TV at all, it's a good thing.
asking bands biggest cool hard less name people realize school severe
It's hard for people to realize now, but my gosh, when I was in school, you could not name a group that was less cool than Kiss. Going in to school with a Kiss T-shirt, you were asking for ridicule. In '77, they were one of the biggest bands in the world, but by '80, there was a severe backlash.
