Here’s the picture of Mike Hsu and I with NASCAR driver Matt Kenseth backstage at a Metallica concert, that we talk about during the interview!
Matt Cameron may be the busiest man in music! He was the drummer in Soundgarden, and the band broke up. So, Matt got a job with another legandary band that you may know… Pearl Jam! Then in 2010, Soundgarden announced that they were getting back together. Rather than leave Pearl Jam, Matt is somehow balancing 2 bands, while being married with kids! 2 bands, 2 tours… and lots to talk about! What about a Pearl Jam, Soundgarden tour with Temple of the Dog? Is Pearl Jam playing Fenway Park in September? What clubs did Matt love to play in Boston? When is the new Soundgarden album coming out?

Sully Erna, lead singer of Godsmack, is coming up to the studio to hang out and play acoustic this Thursday!
He and I will be together on Saturday, February 12 at the new daddy’s Junky Music in Dedham.
He’ll be talking about his new solo album AVALON along with Lisa Guyer
I know we’ll be talking about his new music, what’s next for Godsmack, and what it’s like to sing the National Anthem at Gillette Stadium! (yes Christina, he got the words right!)
What would you like me to ask him?
I’m still trying to recover from 48 hours in a rock stars life! It’s hard work! Planes, limos, parties, courtside seats, political rallies and Jessica Rabbit. DAMN!
Here’s what I can remember!
Kid Rock invited a few radio people from around the country, that have been there “since the beginning”, to attend his private Halloween party. I was honored to be included in that group. We’ve been friends for a very long time. Since the Warped Tour before Devil Without A Cause came out. It’s been a crazy ride… more crazy for him than me… But anyway.
I took off from Logan on Friday afternoon around 2pm.
Landed in Detroit around 4…
After battling Downtown Detroit traffic for almost 2 hours, we checked into the hotel, dropped our bags, and headed to the Pistons Game. Kid Rock was being presented with a banner for selling out the arena 21 times! He was also given permanent court side seats!
We were escorted into the Presidents club (very fancy) for drinks and food before the game. Drinks included Kid’s very own beer,Badass American Lagar!
We were also given gift bags from the Pistons with t-shirts, hats, sweatshirts etc. I felt a little dirty thinking about putting on a Pistons shirt… I have to be honest! But, they say… “When In Rome” right?
I don’t want to hear that I am a traitor! I am a Celtics fan to the CORE!!! I put it on, with the agreement that Kid Rock would sign it, and take a picture, so that we could auction it off for charity! Which he did!
Hopefully we’ll raise some money for charity with this!
After all of the American Badass beer and Jim Beam that we could drink, we were escorted COURTSIDE for the game!
These seats don’t suck!!!!
After the game (which they lost by 1 point with 2.5 seconds left in the game) we headed back to the hotel… to close down the bar and take in a little local culture!
Kid Rock headed to DC for the Daily Show’s Rally to Restore Sanity!
While he was hanging with Jon Stewart and Cheryl Crow, I went shopping and bought this KILLER hat!
Before I knew it, it was time to hit the party! I went dressed as the ‘Corpse Bride’ in my old wedding dress!
A big change from my wedding day just a couple of years ago huh?
The party was in this HUGE warehouse where the band practices, and where he keeps all of his gear and cars!
I took some car pics for you!
He’s got one of the General Lee’s from the Dukes of hazard TV show!
And a Ford GT
And this BADASS Firebird!
After I spent the first 30 minutes drinking and checking out his cars, someone went on stage and introduced the Village People! It was Kid Rock (as the cop) and the Twisted Brown Trucker band in costumes!
They wouldn’t let me video the performance… But I got some great photos!
Did i forget to mention the ‘dancers’???
The band played the entire new album ‘Born Free’ which is coming out on November 16.
And it’s exactly what you would expect! It’s got something in there for everybody! Especially if you are a 40 year old guy! Since he turned 40, he wanted to write a song about that, it’s called F*ckin’ Forty and it’s funny!
After the band finished, it was time to party!!!
And we did a lot of that! I think I was dancing!!! And I NEVER DANCE! EVER!
Before long it was time to get in the photo booth!
Then I got some company! (after he finished hanging out with some HOT redhead dressed like Jessica Rabbit! She wasn’t bad, she was just drawn that way!)
The next morning I needed something to eat before my flight home!
YUMMY!
48 hours in the life of Kid Rock, and I am still recovering!
He is in Europe for the MTV awards and I am just trying to figure out how he does it!
Best Halloween EVER!
The video is here!!! Check it out!
And check out the new video for Born Free! See the car? Look familiar? 
Jacoby from Papa Roach called in today to talk about the Palladium show this weekend. Click here for the details and ticket info.
He’s a Red Sox fan now, and is a HUGE Big Papi fan… And he’s even practicing his Boston accent!
Check out the interview below!
I interviewed Chris Cornell when he was a member of Audioslave and as a solo artist, but Soundgarden was long gone by the time I started on the air at WAAF. Out of the grunge bands, I always gravitated to the heavier one’s: Soundgarden, Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam. We got AIC back, even after losing Layne, and Pearl Jam never left… But Soundgarden held out and made us sweat for long enough! They’re back!
I talked to Chris today about a lot of things… How the reunion took place, why the band broke up, when they are touring, Temple of the Dog reuniting with pearl Jam on tour, what’s up with the new music, how Nirvana got all of the credit for the grunge movement, why people tweet about pooping and so much more!

A couple of years ago MSgt. Smith from the Mass Air National Guard came up to the studio and invited me to fly in an F-15 Eagle. I SAID YES!!!
At 9 G’s I ‘took a little nap’ earning the callsign NARKO, short for narcoleptic (they added the K to make it more Rock N Roll). But, at least I didn’t throw up!!! Evidence included! My empty vomit bag!
Today MSgt Smith called to invite me to fly with Lt. Col. John Klatt in an aerobatic airplane! Lt. Col. Klatt is a pilot for the Air National Guard, but he also flies in airshows in this aerobatic aircraft.
According to his official website www.johnklattairshows.com the aircraft I will be flying in is called the 300 Extra. The Extra is powered by a 300 horsepower variant of the Lycoming 540 six cylinder engine. It weighs 1470 pounds empty and is certified to a load factor of +/- 10 Gs. NICE!!!!!!
Watch John Klatt in action here!!!
Thousands of people will be headed west to see the Westfield International Airshow next weekend, and I’m going to get an early taste of the action!

Here are the videos from my F-15 flight! Enjoy!
Maybe it’s because I can understand him… And, maybe it’s because I love British humor. But maybe, it’s because he’s Rock ‘N’ Roll royalty and it’s an honor to speak with him!
We talked about Ozzfest, his tremors, Sharon, if he would take the American Idol job and the Pope’s nuts! With Ozzy, you never know what you are going to get!
