2/24/09: Look forward to shooting two more new shows of TMS tomorrow in NYC. Just back from rehersal and things are going great. Guests will be Geoff Tate and Lips and Rob from Anvil. Don't forget, you start seeing new shows on VH1 Classic at 11PM 3/7! More news and exclusive photos coming to this site. Be sure to check the That Metal Show section.
Geoff Tate spent over 2 hours on air with me on Sirius/XM last night. Great discussion and tons of new Ryche tunes. Thin Lizzy's Scott Gorham and Bulletboys Marq Torien in studio this Monday for the next ET Live on Sirius 19 and XM 53. Now that my show has also been available to Sirius listeners the last five weeks response has been awesome. Thank you!
Huge Metal Summit special this Friday for the Q104/syndicated show. The Summit specials feature mostly talk and calls about hard rock and metal and we have a great panel this Friday live on Q104.3 NYC. WWE champ Chris Jericho, Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy, Anvil director Sacha Gervasi, and my TMS co-host Don Jamieson all in studio for the Summit! This will be awesome, don't miss it.
I'll be appearing live with Don on NBC channel 4's Today Show this Sunday 3/1 at around 8AM. We are doing promo for the new season of TMS. I know, that's real early, so TIVO it if you aren't up on a Sunday that early. Trust me, I wouldn't be unless I was doing the show!
Busy time, great time, I'll update you as often as I can and thanks for the support as always.
FYI Lars video part 2 coming this Friday to the site. Lars could not have been cooler. Refreshing to see a major artist be able to take criticism and discuss it instead of coping an attitude and blowing you off. I was critical about the sound of the Metallica album on TV and Radio and where most artists at his level would have blown me off, he sat and discussed it and could not have been nicer. That is impressive and so nice to see someone who gets it and respects others opinions. Great stuff.
