10 Highlights/Q&A with WVOXs Matthew OShaughnessy and the legendary Metal Mayhem show in New York! Tuesday 9-11pm, Friday 6-10pm Eastern on WVOX Worldwide and 1460 AM 1.Metal Mayhem founded in the early 1980s by a then 14 year - old Matthew OShaughnessy 2. Goal and aim early on to feature the entire gamut of heavy metal....was and still is a big advocate of supporting independent, unsigned and local acts. 3. Was one of the first media men to get the exclusive news out on late Metallicas Cliff Burtons death by having live call ins from bands like Exodus, Slayer, and more on the show. 4. Over Metal Mayhems 31-year successful run, bands such as Metallica, Megadeth, KISS, Slayer, L.A.Guns, Dokken, Judas Priest, Accept, Metal Church, King Diamond, Great White, and many more have all been featured in prime time exclusive interviews. 5. The show has been spotlighted and featured in The New York Times, NY Post and NY Daily News. 6. A highlight of my broadcasting career: Certainly interviewing the always eloquent and brilliant Metal God himself, Rob Halford will always remain clear in my mind. The Metal God is one of the most poignant and utterly intelligent people in the metal fraternity. 7. Metal Mayhem enjoys a worldwide fan-base from around the world on wvox/ and receives calls from literally all parts of the globe. 8. After 31 years, do I see Metal Mayhem going 31 more years - Hell yes! Heavy Metal is one of the most supported and loyal fanbases in all music forms. We will do this as long as we can breathe! 9. What do you attribute Metal Mayhems span and great respect in the metal community to? For openers, Tony and I are firmly committed to this and always have been. Its not a side or part time job for us, this is our life and our purpose. Also, I consider Metal Mayhem completely unique as the show features the entire gamut of hard rock and metal; from Aerosmith, KISS,UFO, Great White to Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Death Angel and many more. 10. Heavy Metal radio and on the worldwide web will always rage and Metal Mayhem will continue to lead the on-air charge!
