6/6: NEW TMS NEWS, ZAKK, BOOK STUFF, MORE!

Amazing response keeps pouring in on the new season of TMS that kicked off last Saturday. Thanks to YOU it was the top rated show so far of 2013 for the network! Appreciate that and please keep it going and keep spreading the word about the new shows. Thanks!

 

Another ALL NEW episodes this Saturday at 11P ET with Corey Taylor & Josh Rand of Stone Sour. You will also see Dave Lombardo on the Metal Modem from Israel. The interview with Dave was done two days BEFORE Jeff passed away. Also Richie Kotzen plays guitar and yes we have a TOP 5 this week! I find it hysterical how many comments I have been sent about our new set. Although I love and respect all opinions, if you think I am going to care about a table or a set with all the other things I do with the show you are kidding! Hell I’ll do the show on a cardboard box as long as I get to do it, which is the important thing! Not a table or set!! The network has people that deal with the set. if you think I know or care what looks good come see my house. Haha! All that matters is that we are doing the show. God knows a table is the least of my concerns.

 

I’ll be live tomorrow 11P-2A ET on Q104.3 NYC. Listen for FREE to the live stream using the iheartradio free app or by logging on to www.q1043.com I invited some of the guys from GnR to drop by but no confirmation yet if any will come. So listen and find out with me. Otherwise plenty of new and classic music and new to catch up on.

 

I’ll be LIVE this Monday on SiriusXM channel 39 Trunk Nation with a usual very busy show 6-10P ET/3-7 Pacific. Jon & Kat authors of Louder Than Hell drop by, Lillian Axe guitarist Steve Blaze calls in, Zakk Wylde comes in! Zakk starts off the interviews and will be in studio for me for about 30 minutes at 6:15P ET.

Just click on the banner on the home page to order personalized signed copies of my debut. It’s also available now anywhere books are sold and also via Itunes.

6/4: RECAP OF THE TMS NEWSTED PREMIERE

Amazing response to the season premiere of new TMS episode with Newsted. Great to be back on with new shows! Most people loved the new coat of paint on the show and the many new features. Please understand it was VH1’s decision to incorporate new features after 100 episodes. The show has always slowly evolved over the years but this was no doubt our biggest leap forward with a new set and tons of new stuff. Obviously you can not keep adding stuff without resting some stuff. The Throwdown topics were getting kind of thin, so that is rested for this season. The Top 5 (amazing how much feedback about this!) IS in this season in 2 of the next 7 new episodes! Again, we needed to change stuff up and do some new things, but you will see two Top 5 battles coming! Every feature is not in every show. Origins is in 6 of the 8 new shows for example. You will see as it all plays out. I also agree 100% on the single guest format being the best, however we only have single guests this week and this Saturday with Corey & Josh from Stone Sour, after that the remaining 6 shows are two different bands. That interaction is fun too, but I always love the extra interview time. We will see how we handle this going forward after this season. Finally many made note of my comments on the lack of HD broadcast still. As you can see I share the same frustration about that, but I do not own the network! The shows are shot HD so when the NETWORK finally upgrades their channel you can see it that way. Finally as I have stated before I have NO control over if/when the show airs outside the USA. We of course wish it was on EVERYWHERE! I have nothing to do with that or where the stream can be accessed. All comes down to clearance issues with the networks. Really great to have new shows on and appreciate all the support and amazing feedback. ALL NEW again this Saturday at 11P ET. Spread the word and let’s keep it going for another 100 episodes! Thanks.

5/31: THAT METAL SHOW SEASON 12 IS HERE!

Well we are FINALLY here on the eve of new episodes of That Metal Show! Just wanted to take a second to say thanks to everyone around the world for supporting this show. It is amazing that a show that started in 2008 is still alive and well and hitting it’s 100th episode in the coming new season 12. Been doing a bunch of press for the new season and the passion for it is as great as ever. When I started with VH1 Classic back in 2002 (anyone remember Hangin With?) I was pushing back then to do a metal talk show. In ’08 I was happy to finally get the pilot. Never did I think we would become the longest running show in VH1/VH1 Classic history! And that is all because of you guys watching and spreading the word. TMS has very much been the little show that could. Whatever budget restrictions we work under don’t seem to matter. Hey, one day maybe we can even afford a live band and HD! I even hear from people that don’t like metal but like to watch, and that is a HUGE thing to continue our growth. From 30 minutes to an hour, from the start in NY to now taping in LA, it has been a phenomenal ride with so many legendary guests and I am grateful.

 

This new season kicks off with 8 new shows starting tomorrow night at 11P ET on VH1 Classic. We’ve been off for a while so important to spread the word and let everyone know these are ALL NEW shows! We also have many first time guests and many new features as well as an all new set. We are always trying to evolve the show within the confines of what the network will allow and this is by far the biggest jump we have ever taken as far as the look and new features. Of course the same tone of the show and the much loved segments remain. Some of the other segments come in and out as you will see. I will be hosting the Bonzo Bash in NJ when it airs tomorrow here on the E Coast, but look forward to hearing your feedback here and on Twitter. Again, thanks and enjoy, and let’s hope for another 100 episodes soon!

5/29: Ace Frehley

Been getting many questions about my old friend Ace Frehley lately. As usual there seems to be a great deal of misinformation out there. So here are some facts:

 

I am not working with Ace as a producer or in any capacity on a new album. I did suggest a studio and possible producer to him WHEN he wants to do a new album to check out, and I know he did. He had interest from a label for a new album but no idea where he stands with that. Nothing imminent as far as I know.I have always helped Ace when he has asked, simple as that.

 

I did NOT tell Ace he shouldn’t reunite with old Frehley’s Comet band members. As a matter of fact I never discussed this with him at all. Reunions of any kind happen generally for one reason, because they will mean more people and mean more money. If a promoter truly feels a reunion with former members of the band will move the needle and there is enough demand maybe it will happen. But I have not discussed this with Ace at all!

 

Ace is NOT homeless. The house in the news lately he does not live in. He has lived in Southern California for a couple years now. Not NY.

 

All I know is that there was some talk of maybe some live shows soon and maybe an album at some point. When I know anything more I will let you know. Thanks!
