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.
life literally music
I have literally been working in music just about my entire life.
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.
act fan found life love people talk walks
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
