I'm completely open about the fact that I don't love every genre of metal. I like what I like. It's got to have some vocal quality and some semblance of melody.

The biggest compliments I've heard about 'That Metal Show' are the ones from people that say that they don't even listen to this kind of music, but, 'We love watching the show.'

Metal has always been somewhat marginalized, and I love to prove the perception and stereotypes that go with it wrong.

People sometimes tell me that I don't talk or act or look like a metal fan. Well, what does a metal fan look like? I've found people from all walks of life who love metal.

Black Sabbath invented heavy metal, in my opinion.

Metal never goes away. It drifts in and out, but the true fans are always there for it.
