Live On Site In Boston – Staind Pre-show

Category: Boston - If it Rocks...It's 107.3 WAAF!

An example of Neanderpaul on the road. Staind played a free show on Boston’s City Hall Plaza. A fine excuse to head out for a pop (or two). We hung out at one of Boston’s oldest bars, and proceeded to get drunk on the air. Now that it’s been so long, I think it’s safe to admit that. Right? Oh. Well then, it was all an act. I admit nothing!

Foo Fighters Unedited

Category: Boston - If it Rocks...It's 107.3 WAAF!

So, they set me up to be the last interview with the Foo Fighters. Dave & Taylor are pretty silly and this came off great. I present to you for the first time, the raw interview. Dave says a bad word or two. And we deface a table. By deface, I mean Dave drew the “Rush 2112” logo, and we played several games of Hangman. I wanted to take the table, and auction it off for charity. But, the Worcester Centrum wouldn’t give it up. Opportunity. Missed.

Corey Taylor Gets Me Fired

Category: Boston - If it Rocks...It's 107.3 WAAF!

Corey was my last interview at WAAF before I got the hook. So, of course, he overstays his welcome. And I was completely cool with it. The Program Director, who would fire me about 3-4 days after this interview, was out of town, and didn’t hear the interview as it happened live. My guess is, someone *told* him we were out of line. Typical.

Part II

Part III…The part where we dump on the state of Rock radio might’ve been the proverbial straw…

Ozzfest 10th Anniversary Broadcast

Category: Boston - If it Rocks...It's 107.3 WAAF!

This was show #1 for the 10th Ann. Ozzfest. I lost a bet (audio can be heard elsewhere on the site) with Zakk Wylde, and had to wear a Yankees jersey…in Boston…in front of 10,000+ people. We were ridiculed mercilessly. But, lots of people also bought us beers. It was a great day. Good times at WAAF.

107.3 WAAF-FM in Boston: The First Time

Category: Boston - If it Rocks...It's 107.3 WAAF!

I worked at WAAF twice. For those who don’t know, it is one of America’s first Rock stations, and was started by two guys who’d go on to bigger and better things. But, and nobody expected this, it is Boston’s longest-running Rock station now. I had a great time during my first tenure there.

This was the first time I was there 24 years ago. The demo that got me the job in Memphis.

24 Years Ago at WAAF

Another demo I was mailing out to try to find work. I was such a douche.

Attempted Production at ‘AAF

I was learning how to use a “new” computer program called Pro-Tools in 1995 or so. So, I did some stuff like you hear between songs.
