A little editorial, just some notes and observations during the program - I was psyched to be able to debut a track from BUCKCHERRY a day before "Confessions" goes on sale. Thanks to Century Media for the advance. I would've ran  "Gluttony" if not for the F-bomb. Ah, damnit, that swearing is frowned upon. I did like what I've heard of the CD. Haven't really sat down and dissected it track-by-track yet, but I predict that it will live up to the hype and serve to please. I thought it fitting to run "War Pigs" with it being President's Day and had the cover from early Seventies South African band SUCK (LP - "Time To Suck"). I've always had an agenda of throwing in the obscure whenever I can. My thinking is that if it's a relatively common track -  no matter how heavy it may be, if you can hear it on the local classic rock station there's no reason for it to be on my program (typically speaking). I'm liking the latest DESTRUCTION "Spiritual Genocide". When I played "City of Doom" I coulda sworn they were doing a cover of MEGADETH's "Hangar 18".
"SOMEBODY PLAY FREEBIRD". Yeah, I got an off-the-wall request from a listener. It was rather humourous. Too bad I wasn't set up to put the fella on the air. With METAL EMPIRE being a weekly 2-hour specialty show, fielding requests aren't a priority of any sort. But they will be taken into consideration. By all means.
