4/8: HALESTORM, ZAKK, KERRY KING TMS, MORE.
Another great taping of TMS last night in NYC. Lzzy Hale joined us on set for the first time, Kerry King also joined us once again, and Zakk Wylde played for the first time. The new Halestorm album is out this Tuesday and Lzzy said doing TMS was a bucket list item for her. Very honored for one of rocks top emerging newer artists! Kerry ranks 9 Slayer albums in this show and talks about their new album out in August. After the taping he treated us to a sneak listen to a few new songs and I can honestly say they sounded great. Obviously a pivotal album is the Slayer catalog being the first without Jeff and the first with Gary. It sounded exactly like Slayer should. No title for it yet. Zakk has his own line of amps now and showcased his Wylde Audio line shredding like a maniac to close the show. Hope you guys enjoy this one! It debuts this Saturday 9P ET on VH1 Classic.

Since I’m headed to the Monsters Cruise see we shoot two new shows next week that will feature Ace Frehley, Kirk Hammett, Michael Schenker, Mark Farner, Damon Johnson and Nita Strauss. More soon on those.
If in NJ come see me this Friday night at Crossroads in Garwood. Details on the home page for all appearances. Will be announcing additions soon in IL, Vegas, Orange County CA, FL and more.
Looking forward to this episode. Can’t wait to here Zakk shred up on the platform.
Look forward to the one with Nita Strauss. She is a great player, who has a new solo album coming out. She was in an Iron Maiden cover group for a long time and for the past year or so has been playing with Alice Cooper after she replaced Orianthi. She has been great in Alice’s band.
When is Ace going to be on?
Hey Eddie, I agree 100% with your comments last week about a “Best Of Both Worlds” VH tour. Half a set with Roth, half with Hagar, I think most real true VH fans would love to see that. But, unfortunately the reality is, it probably will never happen. But wouldn’t it be great if it did?
Halestorm, ’nuff said. Awesome that you got them on the best show on TV. Looking forward to it.
