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.
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.
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.
anybody money people seen
One thing I've learned, and I don't really blame anybody for this: most people who have a lot of money are the people that want to make money more than anyone. I've seen it with athletes, I've seen it with musicians, you know?
carved love people stuff
Years ago, I carved out an identity, and it has always been about having a voice to tell people about stuff I love.
classic interested music people talk vh1
VH1 Classic is the destination for people who would be interested in a music talk show.
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.
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.
biggest compliments heard listen love music people watching
The biggest compliments I've heard about 'That Metal Show' are the ones from people that say that they don't even listen to this kind of music, but, 'We love watching the show.'
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.
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.
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.
