Unfortunately, in Italy, metal and rock in general is not very popular. You can't hear it on the radio like you do over here. There is a big underground scene, but unfortunately record companies are not really interested in signing these bands.

We've always liked him a lot, ever since he was playing with White Zombie. I've always been a big fan.

We're so looking forward to it. I can't imagine what's going to happen on the main stage. It almost feels like we graduated, from the second stage to the main stage.

We couldn't get played on FM rock or country radio. Now the Burritos are more popular than ever. Who knew?

Not only did I get to hear some great rock songs every week, but I got to know all the guys in INXS and all the singers and hang out with them a lot, ... I made some really great friends, and I also got to be a part of helping some artists reach out and touch their dreams. Whether or not they won the show wasn't the point; the point was they got to do their craft in front of millions of people. [INXS are] going to be members of my musical family forever, and hopefully I'll be the same for them.

We were lumped into the Lite Metal radio bands.
