Black Sabbath invented heavy metal, in my opinion.

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.

Metal has always been somewhat marginalized, and I love to prove the perception and stereotypes that go with it wrong.

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.

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.
