The 10 best musicians I interviewed who died way too freakin’ soon

At risk of posting a blog that's a real downer, this one's about death. I learned about it the hard way myself.

Kiss Alive! was released 50 years ago today, and I’ve still got mine

Fifty years ago today--on September 10, 1975--Kiss released its fourth album, a double-live LP called Alive!, and I had to have it.

I did my third interview with Blue Öyster Cult guitarist Donald Roeser back in January of 2002, two years after SNL's "more cowbell" skit.

Yesterday I wrote a blog complaining that I couldn't stand the new Aerosmith song, which had just been released as a crappy video.

There was a lot of talk in the last year or so about how the band's next album was going to be a return to its early, no-frills rock sound.

The funeral for the Prince of Darkness took place in England today, so I reckon it's time to post my list of his best songs.

I received an email today from American musician Penny Little about an interview I did in 1989 with Blue Murder guitarist John Sykes.

The music world is still coming to grips with the death of Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away on Tuesday (July 22) at the age of 76.

Just heard the sad news, that less than three weeks after his big farewell concert with Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne has passed away.

It totally sucks when you're late for a concert and you miss the song you really, really wanted to hear more than anything else.

Alice Cooper's 1999 box set came with a booklet that included a flattering introduction by none other than former Sex Pistol John Lydon.

I interviewed Rob Halford in April of 1998, six weeks after the release of Voyeurs, the album he made with his industrial-metal project Two.

Maybe because he figures he still owes me, my nephew Jeff recently gave me something cool for a belated birthday present.
