My FM/syndicated show returns to WAAF/Boston tonight! Very cool and very important to have a major station and city back on board with my show and I am appreciative of all the Boston rock fans for the support. The show airs on AAF every Friday 11P-2A ET and can also be streamed at www.waaf.com . The show now airs there the same time as the airing on Q104.3 NYC. It is the same show. All stations that air my program now air the same show every weekend. No more delays. Thanks to AAF and all the stations that believe in bringing my mix of hard rock and metal for three hours a week! I’ll be in Boston 8/1 hosting Winery Dogs and then doing my own gig with Don & Jim 8/2. Both events are at The Wilbur Theater. See you there soon.
Headed to Myrtle Beach soon. See you THIS Wednesday 5-7P at Retroactive. Both books signed and sold and event is free.
Great time last night at Jones Beach NY for the start of the Aerosmith/Slash tour. Great bill! Slash and the guys opened with an hour set of solo, GnR and a VR tunes. Unfortunately the doors opened just after 7 and the band went on at 7:30 so not many in the building for the start, but it filled in a bit later. Love what Slash has been doing with this band. Set also included one new song. They are out all Summer and also will do headline shows on nights off with Aerosmith. New album out in Sept.
What can I say about Aerosmith I haven’t already? They are one of my all time favorite bands. Grew up with the Live Bootleg poster on my wall! To see a band 40 plus years on, still the same 5 guys, and most importantly STILL great playing and singing, is truly a rarity! And it’s all real. No tracks or trickery. Tyler remains one of the all time great singers and performers. Amazing what this guy can do in his mid 60’s. He hits every note in many ways better than he used to because he is sober. Aerosmith has so many mega hits from so many decades they could easily do an all hits set. But even though many are in the set they always through some deep cuts in for the hardcore. Those cuts last night that had me losing it were “Kings & Queens” and “Chip Away The Stone”. Tyler hit every note in Kings! The high parts and all, amazing! Never thought I would see that live even though Joey Kramer promised it on my show Monday. And Aerosmith did a 2 hour plus set. Crazy. A great night of hard rock music. You have to savor what’s left from the icons of rock. Nobody getting any younger. But what Aerosmith does in this day and age of sampling, short sets and diluted lineups is truly remarkable and rare for a band in its fifth decade!
Again huge thanks to all that made my debut podcast such a huge hit! Top 10 was beyond my wildest expectations. The cool thing about podcasts is they are always there to grab even as new ones post. New one for me will post every Thursday. Grab the Priest debut now on Itunes or at www.podcastone.com Next Thursday guest is Bobby Blitz of Overkill.
Have a good weekend. I’ll be in S Carolina Monday so SiriusXM show is pre recorded this week coming up.

Eddie, Priest tix for LA show: $94.00- 611.00/Face. Are they fucking insane?
.
Lol, Eddie doesn’t pay for tickets so asking him if this is fucking insane is like asking Obama if getting a taxi is a pain in the ass. Not dissing you Eddie because you work in the business…it’s a perk we get it.
Still lovin your radio show here on Q104.3. But one quick question eddie have you ever read the book the encylopedia of heavy metal by Daniel bushzpad 2nd edition cam out in late 2012 early 2013 it’s a A-Z book on heavy metal and rock I have the book and read it and it is very instrusting I must say. What’s your take on the book if you read it.
Eddie …. Any chance you have some upcoming events or appearances this summer at “The Sands” in Bethlehem PA? I remember you had some past book signings and concert appearances(Cheap Trick, Slash etc) at this great venue. When are you coming back ??
Eddie…will you emcee the Slash/Aerosmith concert in Newark, NJ is September? My drummer and I were at the Hammerstein Ballroom in September 2012 when you did. Hope to see you there!
hey eddie,
I was there, too. aerosmith can still bring it. is tyler the last great singer of his era and genre who hasn’t lost it? great playing, singing and kudos to the soundman for a great mix. I lost it on the same 2 songs as you. 1st time I ever heard them do “kings” live. I believe the keys and backing vocals on “dude” are on tape. same for percussion on “eat the rich” and “rag doll”. the rest is live. not to shabby! thanks for continually flying the hard rock/metal flag. continued success to you, fearless leader!
