Metal never goes away. It drifts in and out, but the true fans are always there for it.
Metal has always been somewhat marginalized, and I love to prove the perception and stereotypes that go with it wrong.
My father will go see Trans-Siberian Orchestra every single year. I mean, he's completely into it.
Hard rock for me is AC/DC, Def Leppard, Tesla, Kiss. Metal tends to be louder, ruder, darker, like Judas Priest, Slayer, Iron Maiden.
Black Sabbath invented heavy metal, in my opinion.
I want to be the Letterman of metal. I want five nights a week, Monday to Friday, 11 to 12, live. I always shoot for the moon.
