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.
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.
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.
column music school wrote
I wrote the music column in my high school newspaper.
books music saying
My books are personal: I'm not saying they're the Bible of music.
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.
cd music
I have an iPod, but I put my music in it from my CDs, and then I have that CD in my library.
since
I am so appreciative of all the attention I've gotten, especially since I don't ever consider myself anything more than a fan.
cover created possibly wrote
How do you possibly say that a cover band is better than the band that created and wrote the material? It's absurd.
anytime good mainstream tv
Anytime rock and metal can get on mainstream TV at all, it's a good thing.
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?
