Podcast appearances and mentions of Tony MacAlpine

Interview by Kris PetersTwo of the most essential things in life would have to be heavy metal and food. Hands down. No argument.But what is actually better than metal or eating? Combining the two together, which is exactly what Brett Hoag and James Pulli have done with their revolutionary, entertaining and informative show, Metal Mastication. Since 2023, Hoag and Pulli have been producing quality content, interviewing bands and artists while cooking up a storm with a personally selected favourite dish from the guest of the day.It is a novel and unique concept, and also the first of its kind, so it is no wonder the show has developed a cult following in America that promises to break through to the rest of the world at any time. Over the years, Metal Mastication has hosted David Ellefson, Jeff Young, Tony Macalpine and Steve Unger, with Unger's heat sensitive Breasts Of Fire recipe marking itself down in history as one of the most intense dishes ever created for television.The recipe was so good, in fact, that when HEAVY spoke with Metal Mastication earlier today, Unger made a special trip from his home base to Los Angeles just to run it through with us on this side of the world."Hell, Masticators and Metalheads in Australia, it's so good to be here with you guys," Hoag began the conversation, introducing the show as well as himself. "My name is Brett, and I host Metal Mastication. We are the only heavy metal interview show set in the kitchen. Where do the best conversations happen in your house, Kris?""The toilet?" HEAVY replied, before changing our answer to the kitchen."The kitchen, yeah, you're correct," Hoag laughed. "And so that's where the idea came from, and we've done 19 episodes. We have eight on our YouTube channel, and right now we are in the quarter-finals of the Colossus Favourite Chef 2025 competition. It benefits the James Beard Society, which brings equity and sustainability to professional kitchens. If we win this competition, it will allow us to buy a food truck and go to metal festivals as well. Now, say you're at a metal festival, and you're there to see Metal Church, for example. I know they're really huge in Australia, they're huge all over the world. So you see our food truck there, and you go, wow, that's fun. That's a cool logo, that's a cool purple truck. You walk up to get something, and behind the counter in the food truck is none other than Steve Unger, the bass player, the Metal Hall of Fame bass player from Metal Church."The session focused on the unique concept of blending heavy metal music with cooking, featuring discussions about the show's premise and a cooking demonstration. Brett highlighted the show's innovative format, which combines interviews with heavy metal musicians in a kitchen setting. Steve Unger discussed his signature dish, Breasts of Fire, and expressed enthusiasm for connecting with Australian fans. The conversation included humorous anecdotes about cooking and the challenges of using spicy ingredients, with Brett noting that all necessary ingredients are provided for guests to enhance their cooking experience.HEAVY inquired about the origins of the show, prompting Brett to recount how it began two years ago after discussions with Billy Sheehan about cooking on social media. He emphasized that while cooking is a component, the primary focus remains on interviews and conversations with guests, while Steve provided an update on Metal Church's hiatus while also discussing his involvement in other projects and more.Don't forget to vote for Brett and Metal Mastication here: https://favchef.com/2025/brett-Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

From his roots in Omaha, Nebraska, to touring 38 states and 50 countries, Rene has worked with an impressive array of artists, including Rock and Roll legends, Pop stars, and Grammy award winners. In this episode, Rene shares his inspiring journey, from his early influences to his current projects and collaborations. Tune in to discover the incredible story behind this guitar maestro and his remarkable discography.There aren't many guitarists who possess the versatility as Rene Benton. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, his musical influences ranges from progressive rockers Kansas to the sophisticated funk of the Ohio Players. After a stint in the Marine Corps, Rene decided to dedicate his energy towards music. Touring extensively throughout the United States and abroad(38 states and 50 countries to date), he has produced an astounding resume which includes Rock and Roll legends, such as Chubby Checker band; Pop Star artists, such as Sweden's Gigi Hamilton, with Warner EMI; and, Columbia Records recording artist – Fishbone through recording, to name a few. More recent performances include collaborations with Tuhran Terrell (keyboardist/Anita Baker), Jerome “Stixx” Davis (drummer/LaFace/Arista recording artist Tony Rich); singer Hunter Gerard (soap opera star/General Hospital); and, Louie Louie (WTG recording artist , chart topping hit “Lap of Luxury”). Rene was also involved with the modern musical Dreamscape; created and performed by Steve Reed, percussionist for fusion jazz legends – The Rippingtons As well recording with Grammy award winning writer Sleepy Brown writer of the hit by Outkast (I like the way U move) and multiple performance with Grammy award winning bassist for Latin pop star Mark Anthony Mel Brown and Christian Rapcore band Junkyard Prophet and a faction of The Fortunes(UK 70's group that had the hit (“Here comes that rainy day feelin' Again”) Taking time to record his first full-length release, Rene employed expertise from Troy Johnson, bass; and, the dynamic drumming of Todd Roberson; both backing up the likes of Michael Lee Firkins (Shrapnel records alumni), Stephen Pearcy (former frontman of Ratt); and their own instrumental powerhouse JRZ System. The result was a throttle-filled carpet ride sounding like a fusion between Stevie Wonder and Tony MacAlpine. His follow up project Rene called on more musical friends such as, Philip Bynoe (bassist/Steve Vai, Nuno Bettencourt, and Mark Boals), and Atma Anur (drummer/Greg Howe, Cacophony , Vinnie Moore, Jason Becker), Kelly Conlon (bassist Death, Monstrosity, Azure Emote) Funk legend guitarist Charlie Singleton(Cameo) and drummer/producer Paul Vowell(Radioactive Chickenheads, Green Jelly, Sleepy Brown of Outkast) along with appearances by long time comrades Troy Johnson(bassist JRZ System) among others.

Axel Rudi Pell (Bochum; 27 de junio de 1960) es un guitarrista alemán de power metal neoclásico, reconocido por su paso por la agrupación Steeler y por su extensa carrera en solitario. Es considerado un guitarrista neoclásico, pues combina elementos de compositores de música clásica con heavy metal tradicional, técnica ejecutada igualmente por otros guitarristas como Yngwie Malmsteen, Vinnie Moore, Tony MacAlpine, Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Randy Rhoads y Walter Giardino. Tras su salida de Steeler, Axel reclutó al bajista Volker Krawczak para que lo acompañara en su aventura como músico solista. Pell, Krawczak y los músicos Jörg Michael, George Hahn y el cantante y guitarrista estadounidense Charlie Huhn grabaron el álbum Wild Obsession en 1989. Dos años después, la banda conformada por Pell, Krawczak, Michael, el teclista Kai Raglewski y el cantante Rob Rock publica el álbum Nasty Reputation a través del sello Steamhammer/SPV.4​ A partir de ese momento los cambios en la formación empezaron a hacerse constantes, especialmente en el puesto de vocalista. Eternal Prisoner de 1992 incorpora al cantante de ascendencia puertorriqueña Jeff Scott Soto en reemplazo de Rob Rock.5​ La teclista Julie Greaux ingresa a la banda tras la salida de Kai Raglewski para la grabación de un nuevo álbum de estudio, titulado Between the Walls, en 1993. Dos años después la banda publica Made in Germany, un álbum en vivo grabado durante una presentación en la ciudad de Hamburgo el 4 de febrero de 1995 y otra en la ciudad de Bochum el día siguiente. En 1996 sale a la venta un nuevo álbum de estudio titulado Black Moon Pyramid, nuevamente bajo el sello Steamhammer/SPV y con la producción de Axel Rudi Pell y Ulli Pösselt. El tecladista Christian Wolff ingresa a la agrupación en reemplazo de Julie Greaux y participa en la grabación del álbum Magic de 1997. El cantante Jeff Scott Soto abandona la formación para dedicarse a un proyecto llamado Talisman junto al bajista sueco Marcel Jacob, dejando la vacante de vocalista abierta.6​ El cantante Johnny Gioeli, con experiencia previa en la banda de hard rock Hardline, ocupa el puesto para la grabación del álbum Oceans of Time de 1998.4​ Axel Rudi Pell en vivo en 2012. Dos años después, la formación compuesta por Pell, Gioeli y Krawzcak, con las incorporaciones del baterista Mike Terrana y el teclista Ferdy Doernberg publica The Masquerade Ball, primer producción de Axel Rudi Pell en el nuevo milenio. En 2002 sale a la venta el recopilatorio The Wizard's Chosen Few, compilando canciones de toda la carrera de la banda y algunas versiones de otras agrupaciones como Deep Purple y The Jimi Hendrix Experience.7​ Ese mismo año se publica el disco de estudio Shadow Zone, acompañado del directo Knights Live, publicado en octubre. La misma formación grabaría los álbumes Kings and Queens (2004), Mystica (2006), el disco de versiones Diamonds Unlocked (2007), Tales of the Crown (2008), The Crest (2010) y Circle of the Oath (2012), al igual que el directo Live on Fire de 2013

Rob Rock (born June 29, 1959) is an American heavy metal singer who is best known as the longtime frontman of Impellitteri, a position he has held from 1987 to 1988, 1992 to 2000, and from 2008 to the present day. Rock has also released four studio albums as a solo artist, and performed with a number of other notable artists, including M.A.R.S., Joshua, Angelica, Axel Rudi Pell and Warrior to name a few. Rob Rock's early music career consisted of stints with several local cover bands as a drummer and vocalist including Tangram, The Robert Allen Band and Vice which also included future band mate, Chris Impellitteri. They released a demo and were together until 1985. In 1986, he joined musicians Tony MacAlpine (guitar), Tommy Aldridge (drums), and Rudy Sarzo (bass guitar) in a project called M.A.R.S. The group released a lone album entitled Project: Driver in 1986, which received much critical praise, but the next year each member went their separate ways. Rock then reunited with friend Chris Impellitteri and recorded the self-titled debut EP (1987) of the latter's band Impellitteri. However, he was also committed to another band named Joshua, so he could not continue with the band at the time. Rock recorded the Intense Defense album with Joshua, which was characterized by the editor of HM Magazine as being "probably the best melodic metal album in the universe." He also worked on other projects (Dennis Cameron's Angelica & Driver) which gave him knowledge of international musicians that would serve him well later. After leaving Joshua in 1988, Rock formed M.A.R.S. offshoot Driver with two other former Joshua members, bassist Emil Lech-Brando and keyboardist Greg Shultz, former Jag Panzer drummer Reynold 'Butch' Carlson, and guitarist Roy Z; Z, Carlson and Lech-Brando had previously played together in Gypsy Moreno. Driver would release a 5-song cassette-only EP in 1990 but broke up the following year when Rock got a call from Chris Impellitteri and decided to once again join his band. Rock would stay on as lead singer until 2000 during which time Impellitteri released five successful albums. In 2000, Rock decided to pursue his own solo career and parted ways with Impellitteri amicably. That same year, he released his first solo album called Rage of Creation. The album received critical praise and Rock has gone on, releasing three more albums (Eyes of Eternity, Holy Hell, Garden of Chaos). Rock's first solo disc 'Rage of Creation' was recorded at Joe Floyd's Silver Cloud studio. As a result of that collaboration, Floyd asked Rock if he would provide vocals for a revamped lineup of the legendary US metal band Warrior. They released 'The Code of Life' in 2001. It is arguably some of the heaviest music Rock has ever performed and received critical acclaim in Europe and Asia. Eventually, Rock would reform Driver with Roy Z and Reynold Carlson and release the Sons of Thunder album in 2008, which consisted of re-recordings of their 1990 EP along with other unreleased songs written at the time. A second Driver album, Countdown, was released in 2012. In May 2008 it was announced that Rock reunited once more with Impellitteri. Their new album, Wicked Maiden, was released in April 2009 and since then they have gone onto release two more studio albums along with the newly released “Wake The Beast-The Impellitteri Anthology”, which is a 3 CD set of the bands favorite tracks from throughout their career. The band will hopefully see a new studio release in 2023 and Rock has some other projects in the works as well so until those all see the light of day please have a listen to the brand new podcast interview with the legendary Rob Rock!

Ideal Para Llevarte O Regalar Productos Del Podcats De Ivoox. (Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Os traigo un super proyecto formado por cuatro reputados músicos que decidieron reunir sus fuerzas y conocimientos metaleros bajo el nombre de M.A.R.S, nombre sacado de las iniciales de sus apellidos. Nada mas y nada menos este comando estuvo formado por Tony Macalpine a las guitarras (en su etapa mas heavy y salvaje), Rudy Sarzo al bajo (que vamos a decir de este artista de las cuatro cuerdas que ha formado parte de grupazos como Whitesnake, Quiet Riot, Ozzy y tantos otros), Tommy Aldridge ( cariñosamente "la abuela" por esa melena rizada tan caracteristica y su cara de vieja, nombrar los grupos en los que ha pegado con sus parches es interminable) y en la voz el impresionante Rob Rock que ya había despuntado como un voceras tremendo con Impellitteri, despues colaboraría en muchos grupos como Angelica, Axel Rudi Pell o Joshua..increible ese chorro de voz y esos agudos. El objetivo del disco era impresionar al personal y vaya si lo consiguen, trallazos directos y veloces llenos de potencia como Nations on fire o Writings on the wall cargados de buenos solos (Macalpine estaba en etapa cañera, es la época de oro del guitarrista con sus discos en solitario “Edge of insanity “y “Maximum security”) nos movemos en terrenos heavy metal cañero con mucha velocidad, riffs de infarto y las increíbles melodías vocales de Rob. Lástima que no todos las piezas de este puzzle tengan la misma intensidad que los trallazos comentados, destacadas las ultrasónicas, mas discretas los medio tiempos. El himno mas demoledor del disco es Stand up and fight con ese estupendo estribillo y el puente con los coros ¡united! ideal para el directo (desconozco si llegó a haber gira con el grupazo o se quedó en proyecto de estudio). Piel de gallinácea cuando Rob Rock explota con ese ¡BE FREEEEE!. El solo es de los mejores que ha grabado Macalpine. Genial muestra de heavy con garra y melodía. Macalpine es un pianista de primera y deja muestras de su talento con los teclados en Nostradamus en sus inicios, este corte es mas medio tiempo, bajando el pie del acelerador, siendo un tema algo mas flojo que los demas, un estribillo poco seductor la verdad. En ella se preguntan quien tiene la llave, quien conoce el futuro, hablando de la vida del famoso profeta, centro del último trabajo de mis amados Judas Priest. Vuelve el terremoto sonoro con Unknown survivor que guitarrazos, como canta Rob y que pegada lleva la abuela en todo el tema, adictiva y contundente, no deja prisioneros este comando a su paso…bestial. En estilo se acerca un poco a lo que grabaran los Racer X en su etapa de “Street Letal”. El solo no decepciona, consiguiendo en ocasiones entusiasmarnos con escalas escandalosas. Macalpine tiene tiempo de explayarse en la obra y exhibir su técnica espectacular neoclásica. Fantasy es un medio tiempo que comienza con la pegada de Aldridge marcando el ritmo, no alcanza tampoco el nivel ofrecido en las potentes descargas anteriores y se queda a nivel de Nostradamus como un tema correcto y poco mas, pudiendo exigir mucho mas dado el enorme elenco de monstruos del que hablamos. Se salva el grito anterior al solo y el punteo de Tony que aunque no quisiera crea siempre cosas dignas de escucharse. Mas atractiva la siguiente Slave to my touch con unos comerciales coros que apoyan bien en el puente, el estribillo vuelve a ser muy facilón, no cuajando del todo la canción, se queda a medio tiempo de todo, da la sensación de que quitando las speedicas canciones hay pobreza de ideas y por ello no hablamos de un clásico. Con mas elaboración y mejores composiciones, hablaríamos de una pieza clave en su estilo. Pista nueve ataca con increíble solo de Macalpine, seguido de corpulento riffeo y Rob cantando con mucha garra, el titulo I can see it in your eyes que es coreado en el estribillo, un buen tema que se mueve tambien en ambientes irregulares ya que ofrece algunas dosis de nivel en partes del mismo. Finaliza el irregular pero interesante proyecto con You and I que en forma de balada muestra a un Rob Rock pletórico, vuelve a tener presencia el teclado de Tony, sin ser para el recuerdo, es una decente lenta, que cierra un disco con sabor agridulce, pero solo por los intervinientes merece una escucha. La factoria Varney nos trajo a nuestro oidos guitarristas y grupos tan interesantes como Cacophony, Racer X, Joe Tafolla, Ritchie Kotzen, Greg Howe y un largo etc...todos ellos impresionantes.

Vocalist/bassist Mark Boals has worked with just about everyone. He's played and/or sung with Savoy Brown, Ted Nugent, Yngwie Malmsteen, just to name a few. His project Ring of Fire began in the year 2000 and quickly put out three studio albums from 2001-2004. Ring of Fire is back with a standout album, Gravity, which dropped Nov. 11. With Italian guitar virtuoso Aldo Lonobile stepping into Tony MacAlpine's considerable shoes on this record, Ring of Fire has put together another great release that should appeal to fans of power metal and more progressive outfits like Dream Theater and Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

It's Wednesday! Hump Day!!!! Today I bring you another act playing Day 2 of the Rising Talent Stage at Blue Ridge Rock Festival, Tara Lynch! Musicians with as many talents as Tara Lynch (nickname: “Gui-Tara”) are a rare find. The American multi-instrumentalist sings, plays the electric and the acoustic guitar, as well as the bass, drums and piano, in addition to composing her own material from an early age. At the same time, she enjoys an excellent reputation among her colleagues and not only deployed her own skills on her current album Evil Enough but was supported by international stars such as Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath/Dio), Tony MacAlpine, Phil Soussan (Ozzy Osbourne/Billy Idol), Mark Boals (Dokken/Yngwie Malmsteen, Ted Nugent), Brent Woods (Vince Neil/Sebastian Bach), Glen Sobel (Alice Cooper) and Björn Englen (Quiet Riot/Yngwie Malmsteen) as guest musicians. “They all welcomed the opportunity to play the songs I wrote and each guest put their own special vibe and feeling into each track, making them sound just perfect!” And indeed Tara Lynch has succeeded in recording an outstanding rock album in Evil Enough, which – despite the renowned guest contributions – focuses mainly on her expressive voice, her intelligent, elegant guitar style and her mature songwriting. Says Tara: “I prefer to think of the guitar as a form of art and not just a tool to create music with, which is why there are four instrumental tracks on Evil Enough. My musical taste varies widely, and though I'm a huge fan of the instrumental guitar genre, my favourite bands have a vocalist and a guitarist that really takes advantage of melodies and not just pure shred.” https://taralynch.com https://open.spotify.com/artist/7qFPTHNp4igSeTGepWoHQp https://amzn.to/3eJB4Km (link to purchase from Amazon) https://www.facebook.com/TaraLynchOfficial/ https://www.instagram.com/taralynchofficial/ This episode is proudly brought to you by: Betterhelp : https://www.betterhelp.com/sipod for 10% off Mack Weldon: https://www.mackweldon.com/suckit Promo Code "SUCKIT" for 20% off!

Skateboard Marketing Ltd. Company Overview:  Skateboard Marketing Ltd. has been at the forefront of independent metal radio promotion for the past 30 years since forming in 1991. The company has worked with legendary rock and metal heavyweights such as Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Pantera, Soilwork, Testament, Morbid Angel, Black Label Society and Kid Rock, among countless others. Skateboard Marketing operates within North America and is located in New York. Their concept is to get radio airplay in any place that has metal or rock programming. They still believe in artist development and building a fan base for the unknown artist. Every band has their time to shine, but that takes artist development.    Skateboard Marketing Ltd owner, Munsey Ricci, is a former PolyGram Records executive who was the Director of National Metal Promotion from 1989-1991 and created the first metal department for the label and all affiliated labels, including Mercury, Polydor, RooArt, and London Records. Ricci also worked for the famed Combat/In-Effect Records in Hollis, Queens. Ricci was also on the editorial staff and collated the magazine for CMJ Media and a former syndicated radio programmer prior to PolyGram Records. Ricci spent 5 years as MD/PD for his college station WQCC while attending college.    Covering the entire spectrum of radio with syndicated, satellite, commercial, and college metal. Skateboard Marketing covers over 350 stations nationally for the US and Canada. This includes all the syndicated, commercial metal and rock specialty shows with college and public radio. "It's any outlet where a record can be heard" Artist development starts on the street, in someone's bedroom on their stereo, or even a fan listening to something new in their car. Today a new band will have 20 fans, tomorrow they will have 50. It's all a stepping stone to bring something cool to the masses.  It all applies to heritage artists as well. The only difference is they sold 2 million records to go with it. It's about creating the new fan whether it's for Motorhead and Black Sabbath, or for new artists such as Misery Kills.    The company's staple roster consists of, Overkill, Testament, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Exodus, Death Angel, Soilwork, Biohazard, Ozzy Osbourne, Doro Pesch, and Sepultura  It's a huge pleasure to be  graced by talent on all levels. There is nothing better than getting on the phones in the morning and "Making something from nothing" Music is in the blood of every band, industry executive and fan.    The companies office is based 25 minutes east of Manhattan, in Neighboring Valley Stream. They have a staff of 2 people covering syndicated, commercial , and college radio, as well as social media on board. New York-based radio promotion powerhouse Skateboard Marketing Ltd., headed by music industry veteran Munsey Ricci, is celebrating its 30th anniversary of taking heavy metal and hard rock music to the airwaves.   “It's been 30 years already,” Ricci says. “Time seems to fly when you're having fun. I've been blessed and graced to have the opportunity to work with the artist roster we have. Every morning I get up and still live to walk into the office and do this gig. I just don't get tired of it and need more!”   Founded in 1991 by the former PolyGram Records executive, Skateboard Marketing Ltd. quickly established itself as the leader in radio and artist development with a focus on all formats of aggressive music for three decades. Love of music, longstanding relationships and profound respect from colleagues and artists have earned the company a reputation as the go-to company to for national radio promotion in North America.   “Munsey and Skateboard Marketing do what they do because they LOVE IT,” says SiriusXM's Jose “Metal Ambassador” Mangin. “There's no one in the world that is as seasoned and dedicated to the art of metal promotion. I've been helping Munsey spread the good gospel of metal for 25 years, and we're both just getting started! Congrats on 30 f'in years of dominance!”   Syndicated radio host and author Full Metal Jackie adds, “Munsey is integral to the heavy music scene. He carries the torch proudly and at this point he is basically a de facto member of most of your favorite metal bands. Cheers Munsey & Skateboard.”   These sentiments are echoed by the artist's Skateboard Marketing Ltd. has represented, with many noting the integral part the company has played in their success.   “Skateboard Marketing has been part of my team for 20 years now,” says Megadeth bassist David Ellefson. “They understand and connect with my fans and record buying customers which makes the business of music that much better and easier. Happy 30th Skateboard and thanks for all you do!”   Says Overkill vocalist Bobby Blitz, “Congratulations to Munsey and Skateboard on 30 years of keeping the airwaves chock full of the heaviest metal! For decades now we call him the 6th member in the Overkill camp, as he has gone above and beyond to help bring our craft to those who crave it. Happy anniversary Skateboard, from Chaly and the boys!”   Singerman Entertainment's Todd Singerman notes, “Skateboard Marketing, under the enthusiastic stewardship of Munsey Ricci, has helped consistently propel Motörhead's music to the ears and hearts of thousands upon thousands of ears for over three decades.  Munsey remains that rare combination of class and action.”   Add Wendy Dio, “Munsey Ricci and Skateboard Marketing have supported every Dio record throughout Ronnie's career and continue to support us.”   While Director of National Metal Radio Promotion at PolyGram Records, Ricci created the first metal radio department for the label and all of its affiliates, including Mercury Records, Polydor Records, RooArt and London Records, where the artist roster included bands like Mortal Sin, Onslaught, Yngwie Malmsteen, Kiss, Doro Pesch, The Scorpions, Rush, Tony MacAlpine, and Vinny Moore.   Ricci also previously worked for CMJ Media and Combat/In-Effect Records, and programmed radio for five years prior to his label stint, learning and working next to some of the most influential people in the radio promotion world and leading to the success of Skateboard Marketing Ltd.   “I've had the pleasure of knowing Munsey for close to 25 years,” says Rob Rush, Program Director/PM Drive Jock 94.3 The Shark Long Island. “He is a consummate professional and has always gone above and beyond for the bands that he promotes, and the radio stations that play his bands. He is a true class act and I'm proud to call him one of my best friends! Here's to 30 more years of Munsey and Skateboard Marketing!!!”   SiriusXM Volume's “TrunkNation” host Eddie Trunk conquers. “I've known and worked with Munsey for all 30 years of Skateboard Marketing and beyond,” he says. “He's always had a great passion for rock and metal music and all the projects he works. All the best for the next 30 to all at Skateboard!”   Seeing a void for heavy music in the radio trades, Ricci launched Metal Contraband in 2016. Metal Contraband, in conjunction with Radio Contraband, fills that gap as a destination for labels, management and artists looking for accurate information, including a metal chart consisting of commercial, syndication as well as large college stations, a metal news section for up-to-date news on tours and festivals, ad dates and street dates. Also included is an overall release schedule for metal add dates at radio. Metal Contraband has become the most reliable source to gauge the success of a record at radio.   Adds Joey Z of longtime Skateboard client Life Of Agony, “It's hard to believe that Munsey and the team at Skateboard Marketing have been grinding it out for all of us for 30 years. Life Of Agony is so grateful for all the help and support the team has given us throughout the years... We wish them continued success for at least another 30!!”   “Munsey is the only metal radio game in town,” says Adrenaline PR's Maria Ferrero. “Period.”    The company's roster has ranged from the smallest to the biggest heavy metal and hard rock bands. Its staple roster consists of Motörhead, Overkill, Testament, Judas Priest, Ronnie James Dio, Black Sabbath, Exodus, Death Angel, Soilwork, Parkway Drive, Ozzy Osbourne, Sepultura, Soulfly, and many labels including Napalm, Nuclear Blast, Century Media, E- One Entertainment, Warner Music, BMG, Sony, Pavement, Metalville, Spinefarm, Fearless and Universal. Skateboard Marketing Ltd. has also worked on radio campaigns with Iron Maiden, Monster Magnet, Crowbar, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Doro Pesch, Veil Of Maya, At The Gates, Body Count, High On Fire and many others.   “Rip Magazine and Skateboard Marketing rolled loud and proud together back in the day,” says Lonn M. Friend, author of Life on Planet Rock. “Congrats to Munsey on three decades of prosperous decadence.” SKATEBOARD MARKETING online: www.Skateboard-Marketing.com www.facebook.com/pages/Skateboard-Marketing-Ltd/102440986494312 www.instagram.com/skateboardmarketing https://twitter.com/Skateboardmkt www.pinterest.com/skateboardmkt http://skateboardmarketing.tumblr.com www.youtube.com/skateboardmarketing1 METAL CONTRABAND online: http://metalcontraband.com www.facebook.com/metalcontraband www.instagram.com/metalcontraband https://twitter.com/Metalcontraband For press inquiries and additional information, please contact Adrenaline PR:  Maria Ferrero, 732-462-4262, maria@adrenalinepr.com Get your free 3 Keys to Freedom training at www.iFreedomHackNow.com

To learn more and watch the video from this live session, please visit truefire.com/live.About Steve:Steve Jenkins is part of the new wave of modern electric bass players. In addition to his mind-blowing technical prowess, his musicianship has allowed him to fit into a diverse range of musical situations that have run the gamut from face-melting prog-metal to experimental microtonal jazz-funk to dubbed-out electronica bass lines to classic sounding r&b grooves--sometimes all within the framework of one song. He also has a strong grasp of using effects and technology which makes him a true sonic force to be reckoned with. Whether playing as a sideman or as a leader making his own music, Steve is known for his beyond solid groove, creative use of cutting-edge effects and textures, melodic/virtuosic solos, and mastery of different tones and techniques for any given musical situation.As a sideman, he has toured, performed, or recorded with the likes of: Vernon Reid, Mark Lettieri, Tony MacAlpine, Screaming Headless Torsos, David Fiuczynski, Stimpy Lockjaw, Alex Skolnick, Josh Smith, Thomas Pridgen, Victor Wooten, Javier Reyes, Keith Carlock, Cindy Blackman Santana, Gene Lake as well as many others.As a bandleader, he released the critically acclaimed "mad science" in late 2004. And in May 2013, he released the long-awaited"Steve Jenkins And The Coaxial Flutter" which has been receiving high praise from press, fans, and even legendary musicians such as Dennis Chambers.As an educator, he has taught at Berklee College of Music's BassLines Summer Program (now called the Victor Wooten Summer Bass Workshop) and has been an artist-in-residence at the Bass Collective in NYC.

Theres plenty more than just chops and math-rock proficiency at work here. -Bass Player Magazine"He belongs in the vanguard of formidable young bass soloists, but he separates from that pack by locking down every groove that comes his way." -All About Jazz"Jenkins augments his considerable chops with a cool vision." -Bill Milkowski, Jazziz Magazine
