KQRC: Kansas City – Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready
Click radio to listen! Joined on the phone by Mike McCready from Pearl Jam. A little-known fact; Mike is really into the band UFO! In fact, he has a cover band that plays a benefit for Colitis research every year. We talk about that, and the "return" of Pearl Jam.
KQRC: Kansas City – Tesla’s Jeff Keith
Click radio to listen! Jeff and the guys in Tesla have been close friends for a long time. It's so ironic to me, considering I got my first gig as a singer in a band by doing "Modern Day Cowboy" during the audition. And years later, I actually had a chance to sing "Comin' Atcha Live" with the
KQRC: Kansas City – Saving Abel @ Rockfest ‘09
Click radio to listen! This band had a good year. Now, we wait to see how they come back from "instant success." This is from when they came back to play Rockfest 2009 in front of over 50,000 people. They were still new, and enjoying what was happening in their world. I like them. They can ha
KQRC: Kansas City – Alice in Chains’ William DuVall
Click radio to listen! One of the most welcome comebacks in recent music history is Alice In Chains. "Black Gives Way To Blue" is a cool new record, and everyone is pleasantly surprised at how great William DuVall is doing. Trying to "replace" Layne Staley is truly impossible, but he's steppe
KQRC: Kansas City – Zakk Wylde Is OUT (as Ozzy’s Guitarist)
Click radio to listen! If you've listened to my show over the years, you know I count Zakk Wylde as one of my few "show business" friends. I have been lucky enough to make friends with a few of the bands I've talked to over the years. And Zakk is one of those guys that has kinda become more than
KQRC: Kansas City – Corey Taylor (Stone Sour)
Click radio to listen! Here's our friend Corey Taylor from the same show that The Cult headlined in Kansas City. Turns out this was the very last Stone Sour show of the "Come What (Ever) May" tour. AND...in case you didn't know, there was a huge rumor that Corey was going to end up as lead si
KQRC: Kansas City – Creative Bullsh*t!
Click radio to listen! Listeners will do and say just about anything to get free tickets. This guy made up one of the more elaborate stories I've ever heard in all the years I've been doing this. There are so many unbelievable things about this guy's tale, that I can't let him go. I HAVE to
KQRC: Kansas City – F*ckin’ With Lars Ulrich….again!
Yet another visit with the legendary (now) Rock n' Roll Hall Of Fame drummer from Metallica. Lars and I have had so many memorable "radio moments" over the years. Most of them can be found on this site. There was the time his cell phone rang and I told him to take it..could be his Mom. To which
KQRC: Kansas City – Five Finger Death Punch @ Family Values ‘07
Three years ago...before most people had even heard of this band, they showed how smart they are. They had just played their set at Family Values, and decided they were going to do a "spontaneous" autograph signing. And knowing we were broadcasting from the event, just set their table up in
KQRC: Kansas City – Alterbridge In Studio
Funny...After the years I've spent making fun of Creed, one of my favorite "new" bands is Alterbridge. I really like their music. And I'm not alone in that. It supports my theory that people don't really hate Creed. They hate douchebags. And Scott Stapp, as we all know, is considered a doucheb
