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.
people smell stop time
People tell me all the time I should stop and smell the roses, but I can't. I'm always thinking of what I can do to make what I have better and do more.
changed places
The one thing that's changed for 'That Metal Show' is that it's now global; it's now on in places outside of America.
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.
bringing increases money people pressured time
The only time people get pressured into doing reunions to make more money is when the current lineup is underperforming. And by bringing back the other guy, it increases their draw.
kissing iron rocks
Hard rock for me is AC/DC, Def Leppard, Tesla, Kiss. Metal tends to be louder, ruder, darker, like Judas Priest, Slayer, Iron Maiden.
friday monday moon
I want to be the Letterman of metal. I want five nights a week, Monday to Friday, 11 to 12, live. I always shoot for the moon.
father mean years
My father will go see Trans-Siberian Orchestra every single year. I mean, he's completely into it.
perception stereotype prove
Metal has always been somewhat marginalized, and I love to prove the perception and stereotypes that go with it wrong.
black opinion heavy-metal
Black Sabbath invented heavy metal, in my opinion.
fans metals
Metal never goes away. It drifts in and out, but the true fans are always there for it.
When I do interviews, I never pre-plan them at all, radio or TV.
