KDKB: Phoenix - Slash Stops By And We Catch Up (again!)

KDKB: Phoenix – Slash Stops By And We Catch Up (again!)

Once again, after all these years, Slash continues to be a class guy. As soon as he comes over to the table..."HEY!" He's always been cool. We completely forget there's a microphone between us every time we start talking.  Here's the latest from his recent stop during the Ozzy tour. Clic

KDKB: Phoenix - Eddie Trunk From VH-1

KDKB: Phoenix – Eddie Trunk From VH-1

Eddie wants to be on KDKB. Apparently, before my arrival, he was for a while. They buried his radio show on overnights. While broadcasting @ the "Big 4" show in Indio, we ran in to him. He had a book to plug, and hung for a bit. We could've gone on for hours. Ed's always been good to me. We'

KDKB: Phoenix – George Lynch Calls In And I Make Fun Of His Hair!

I have spent my entire career asking the hard-hitting, journalistic questions. This time, I get to the bottom of one of Rock's biggest mysteries: Did George cop his haircut from Limahl??? Click To Listen

KDKB: Phoenix - David Ellefson & DMC In One Show!

KDKB: Phoenix – David Ellefson & DMC In One Show!

This was a VERY busy show. I had the opportunity to talk to Phoenix' own David Ellefson from Megadeth, who had just rejoined the band and was fresh off the "Big 4" shows in Europe. I also got a call from my friend Jesse Dupree from Jackyl, telling me that DMC was in town and he could hoo

KDKB: Phoenix - Ozzy Admits He Doesn't Like

KDKB: Phoenix – Ozzy Admits He Doesn’t Like “Scream”

This was a bit surprising. I've spoken to Ozzy probably a dozen times over the years. Every once in a while, he says something very telling. We now know that most people don't really dig the "Scream" CD as much as they did those he's done with Zakk Wylde. During this call, we come to find...even

KDKB: Phoenix - Motorhead Drummer Mikkey Dee!

KDKB: Phoenix – Motorhead Drummer Mikkey Dee!

Motorhead were my first interview in 1986. I was an 18-year old kid, standing outside their bus on a Sunday afternoon. It was after that interview in which their guitarist at the time (Wurzel) confided in me that he would soon leave the band, and asked me not to speak of it (just like "Almost Fa

KDKB: Phoenix - Gary Cherone (Extreme/Van Halen) Calls In

KDKB: Phoenix – Gary Cherone (Extreme/Van Halen) Calls In

Gary & I go back to 1986. I was just starting out doing College Radio at Framingham State in Massachusetts. And Gary had just made a lineup change to his fairly successful band "The Dream." Turns out he & drummer Paul Geary sold the name and they became "Ex-Dream" a.k.a. EXTREME. Gary &a
