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.
anybody money people seen
One thing I've learned, and I don't really blame anybody for this: most people who have a lot of money are the people that want to make money more than anyone. I've seen it with athletes, I've seen it with musicians, you know?
believe bring computers content survive table truly
I truly believe that you have to bring more content to the table to survive in radio than saying, 'There was AC/DC, and here's Journey,' because computers can do that.
books caution great saw throw
I think that, for me, the great books like that, autobiographies, are great when the artists who write them throw caution to the wind and really put it out there as they saw it.
carved love people stuff
Years ago, I carved out an identity, and it has always been about having a voice to tell people about stuff I love.
classic interested music people talk vh1
VH1 Classic is the destination for people who would be interested in a music talk show.
chords hard heavy power super
The power chords in 'Come Sail Away' were super heavy to me as a kid. Metal? No. Hard rock? At times, for sure.
actual file hold love physical send wants
I still love physical product. I still hold out for actual CDs, because in radio, everyone just wants to send you a file to play.
bill guys jim love respect
Guys like Howard Stern, Bill O'Reilly, Jim Rome, Bill Maher, those are the guys I love and respect as broadcasters.
although band favorite hard heavy life listen metal people question rock surprised
One thing people would be surprised about is that although hard rock and heavy metal are without question 90% of what I listen to and my passion, there are other things I enjoy. My first ever favorite band in my life before KISS was a power-pop band called The Raspberries.
bad gets jersey newark people state
Jersey gets a bad rap. Most people make an assessment of this state on the ride from Newark Airport into Manhattan.
My interviewing style and my approach to things is that, yes, it's okay to be sincere; it's okay to be yourself; it's okay to be real.
