Alice Cooper, Rob Halford and Bumblefoot on XM.
8/12/08: Huge XM show last night. Bumblefoot sat in for the entire show and talked about his new solo CD and a very cool benefit in Vegas 8/22 and 8/23 to help those with Diabetes. Go to www.rockagainstdiabetes.org to learn more about this event and how you can help. And go to www.bumblefoot.com to see what he is up to. Sadly could not get any G&R news from him, but it's always fun to have him hang with us. Really good guy.
At the last minute I got a live call from the legendary Alice Cooper! Alice called in and talked about all kinds of stuff including his new CD, current tour, his stop at Rock The Bayou and his disgusting exclusion from the R&R Hall. Alice really is one of the nicest guys you will ever talk to and it's an honor to have had him on the show. I'll post this audio soon and of course you can podcast it for free. Just check the XM/Broadcast section of the site.
Finally Rob Halford gave a call from Canada. Halford talked about the current Masters Of Metal tour and of course how much fun Priest had playing my party last week. Rob said the buzz has been great with clips on YouTube and people talking about it all over. Don't forget, the entire party was pro shot! I just saw a rough cut of Electric Eye that looked amazing! As soon as we get the green light you will see some of this exclusive footage on this site! You have never seen Priest like this before! He also said plans are still in place for JP to do the new album start to finish sometime in 2009.
Hope you guys join me for the XM show. It really is a blast and so relaxed and open for the artists to chat and talk about all kinds of stuff uncensored and commercial free.
Headed to Poison at PNC now. Review tomorrow. Also get ready for a Metal Summit with Chris Jericho coming soon to Q104 show.
