hard iron judas tends
Hard rock for me is AC/DC, Def Leppard, Tesla, Kiss. Metal tends to be louder, ruder, darker, like Judas Priest, Slayer, Iron Maiden.
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.
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.
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.

I've had the privilege of meeting and/or interviewing most of the top metal and hard rock artists at various points in my career and sharing their stories and music with millions of fans on air through TV and radio.

I've been urged by people forever to try and start a real Rock Hall of Fame. I've had some very, very preliminary discussions about doing it. Obviously, I can't do it myself, but there are a lot of people interested in that.

People sometimes tell me that I don't talk or act or look like a metal fan. Well, what does a metal fan look like? I've found people from all walks of life who love metal.
classic good music supported
I've always supported new music from classic bands, especially if it's good.
good high interest music unless
I wasn't a good student in high school. I mean, I got through it, but unless it had something to do with music, it didn't really interest me.
books music saying
My books are personal: I'm not saying they're the Bible of music.
One of the things I've done on my shows is tell stories and do interviews.
life market remarkable survived
To have survived in radio for 30 years is pretty remarkable. Even more remarkable is to have been able to do it in the same market I've lived in my whole life.
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.
awesome love tv
I still love radio, but TV is also an awesome platform.
