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.
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.

VH1 Classic is the destination for people who would be interested in a music talk show.
hall interested people rock urged
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.
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.
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.
One of the things I've done on my shows is tell stories and do interviews.
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.

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.

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.
