So... before tonight's show, I was talking with my sister.
She listens every week.
And she said something that stuck with me.
"Your show is really good... if I can get past all the screaming."
Fair enough. So... I accepted the challenge.
People hear "hard rock" or "metal" and assume it's all aggression.
All volume. All chaos.
But that's only part of the story. What they don't always hear is the songwriting.
The melodies. The emotion.
Some of the best songs in modern rock don't need harsh vocals to hit hard.
They hit because they're honest.
So this hour is for my sister...
And maybe for anyone who's ever thought hard rock wasn't for them.
And who knows... by the end of the hour, I might even make a new hard rock fan. Let's turn it up.
