H! Everyone,

Our Rock 50 Metal show airs on Saturday, November 22.  To honour Veteran’s/Armistice Day, 11/11/14, we’ll present a brief remembrance acknowledgment with songs that echo the heartbreak and triumph of past wars.

We’ve got lots of Metal –Exodus, new stuff – all kickass.  Our drum segue features Chris Fehn, one of Slipknot’s percussionists.  His extraordinary performance live as the character #3, is a must to watch.  Equally, his percussion skills, accurate and unique, hinge very nicely onto Slipknot’s musical surface.  It’ll be a great segment, including new music from Slipknot.

Check us out if you like Metal and Hard Rock and music, period.

Stay safe.  Stay strong.

My family is in deep regret for the loss of Jack Bruce, a brilliant musician who influenced so many and guided us to new musical horizons. His superb bass playing echoed beautifully from his rich musical experiences. Jack’s voice was second to none, so heartfelt, soulful and powerful. He gave us all so much to cherish and keep forever. Thanks, Jack. I held your hand, and we danced together. It was an honour.

Our deepest sympathy to the family. Lots of love to Malcolm. Respectfully, Brave Ulysses, you will live brightly forever.

Love,
Bill
