Interviews

My latest "IRON MAIDEN @ 50" podcast interview is up. This time, I'm back with Métal Maniaques, a music and horror podcast who has had me on twice now because of my last two books. It was less like promotion and more like visiting with an old friend. That may not be the professional way of doing it, but to quote Larry David, my whole career is based on being unprofessional. Press the button to check out the interview, which starts at around the 16:00 mark.

Please enjoy my latest podcast interview with the mighty Staci Layne Wilson of Rock & Roll Nightmares. We discuss my forthcoming book, IRON MAIDEN @ 50, and also my 2023 book, OZZY @ 75, which I'm very happy came out while the late Prince of Darkness was still alive.

Podcast season has begun for my new book, IRON MAIDEN @ 50! Mike Wiles of the Retro Rock Roundup podcast has the honor of hosting my flagship podcast interview for this book, and the honor is mutual because I have the privilege of kicking off their Heavy Metal Week. We also discussed the very sad passing of Ozzy Osbourne, which I will never recover from.

Even though my next book, "Iron Maiden at 50," does not get released until next month, I'm already getting some love for the book after it. "Rush & 2112" comes out in March 2026, and Rush Brasil (a Brazilian Rush fan site) threw a few questions my way about it. Enjoy!

After the passing of the mighty Ozzy Osbourne, I was interviewed by the NY Post to talk about his life and his final concert. I'm still processing it a week later, but I feel like this was not too terrible for an on-the-spot, grief-stricken interview.

Greetings. I was interviewed by the Afternoons with Leith Forrest podcast from Australia to discuss the very sad passing of the great Ozzy Osbourne. This was conducted just a couple of hours after the news came through, and it was kind of surreal. Anyway, press the button and listen to my trenchant insights.

My chins and I are back! I did a fantastic, sprawling interview about RUSH @ 50 with John Beaudin of the Rock History Music podcast, and he's going to split it up into a few episodes, so here's the first one. Enjoy!

I know next to nothing about sports, yet I was nonetheless invited to appear on The Sports-Casters podcast to discuss RUSH @ 50. Press the little button thingy below to hear it. I'm at the 1:15:25 mark.

Here's my latest RUSH @ 50 interview, with the mighty Rita Wilde and CW West of the Rock and Roll Confessional Podcast . This was a really great interview, and Rita and CW are consummate professionals. Press the button!

When the Library of Congress asked me to write an article about Metallica's "Master of Puppets" album in 2018, I said it was a once-in-a-lifetime thing and never expected to be asked to do something else for them. Well, if you live long enough, once-in-a-lifetime stuff can sometimes repeat itself. Thank you to the Library of Congress for asking me to do this – it's often the unexpected, weird little things that can end up being big moments in your career.

That time I got published in the Library of Congress. It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime things.
