Category Phoenix – KDKB – 93-3 KDKB Rocks Arizona!

What can I say? Lars & I have spoken more over the past 28 years than any musician I’ve come in contact with. He’s gracious and knows how to work radio. We really grew up together. I started in ’86. And Metallica had their first real success on the road with Ozzy supporting “Master Of Puppets.” Funny thing…I always thought either he, or Ozzy would be the first “Hall Of Famer” I’d be able to meet face-to-face. Nope…That honor (for me of course) went to Darryl “DMC” McDaniels. Sorry Lars! You aren’t the “King Of Rock.” But you’ve always been great to me. Thanks! Here…Lars stops by the broadcast w/ me & former KDKB Morning Guy; Sludge.

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.

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’ve spoken at length about stuff we’d never discuss on air. Maybe when I write my book…

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???

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 hook up an in-studio if I was interested. Was I? Hell yeah!! So, just as Ellefson was finishing up, in walks DMC. I couldn’t get them on the air together, but the summit that took place in the halls, was one of those moments where I wish we’d had a camera for video. It was a really cool day. Thankfully, I got all the audio and you can hear the kind of fun we had. This was also during the time where I was bribing listeners to listen to me with a huge denomination of cash-money!! Yeah, it’s a long file. But, I think one of my best shows. Have fun!
