Zitat des Tages von Eddie Trunk:
In a way, Jersey really supports rock, maybe more than New York City and Long Island. I know plenty of bands that tour and do much better at Starland or other clubs in New Jersey than others in the tri-state area.
My father will go see Trans-Siberian Orchestra every single year. I mean, he's completely into it.
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.
Black Sabbath invented heavy metal, in my opinion.
Years ago, I carved out an identity, and it has always been about having a voice to tell people about stuff I love.
I wrote the music column in my high school newspaper.
I have literally been working in music just about my entire life.
I truly believe that you have to bring more content to the table to survive in radio than saying, 'There was AC/DC, and here's Journey,' because computers can do that.
I still love physical product. I still hold out for actual CDs, because in radio, everyone just wants to send you a file to play.
My interviewing style and my approach to things is that, yes, it's okay to be sincere; it's okay to be yourself; it's okay to be real.
One of the things I've done on my shows is tell stories and do interviews.
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 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?
I still love radio, but TV is also an awesome platform.
Anytime rock and metal can get on mainstream TV at all, it's a good thing.
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.'
I've had the privilege of meeting and/or interviewing most of the top metal and hard rock artists at various points in my career and sharing their stories and music with millions of fans on air through TV and radio.
