Ned

Hosted By Ned

“Hey, the name is Ned, but you can call me Ned. Born and raised in Grand Rapids, MI. Went to Eastern Michigan University for radio broadcasting, so I suppose it worked out for me.

I can’t get over the fact that the pop SURGE is gone, I play so many damn video games that I may steal a car and kill hookers. I play guitar, sing, and all that good crap, so chicks kinda dig me I think. My musical taste vary from Pantera to Nobuo Uematsu.

Things I enjoy: Lava lamps, I have a man crush on Dimebag Darrell, Pizza, Beavis & Butt-Head, Star Wars, Schwarzenegger movies, and anything that is claimed as “bad ass” as well.

Tune in every Sunday 10-3pm  for stuff such as a video game review, why things suck, and other things to get through the hours of freedom before the work week begins.

Get to the choppa!

Schedule

Su 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

Ned By Ned 5 days ago

Been awhile since we have a had a Metal Moment isn't it? Well with all the craziness of the recent Phil Anselmo interview, I couldn't help but recognize Phil's band that came upon the metal world while he was in Pantera, and that is DOWN!

Games To Try Before You Die: Star Fox (SNES)

Ned By Ned 6 days ago

Look at the games that we have today. They look all nice and polished and stuff, we strive for realism in games all of the time. If it doesn't look real, it looks like crap. Back then, getting realism in a game was difficult, hell...even getting a 3D perspective what felt like it was impossible! Then Star Fox came along and said, "Graphics?! HELL YEA MAN! We have the Super FX chip!"

Phil Anselmo Talks Solo Album, Pantera Reunion, Rock Hall of Fame, And More!

Ned By Ned 1 week ago

Pantera is one of the greatest metal bands of all time. Pantera brought us Dimebag Darrell, unforgettable songs like 'Walk,' 'Cowboys from Hell,' '5 Minutes Alone,' and so much more. Getting the opportunity to talk to Phil Anselmo, the lead singer of Pantera and Down, was quite the trip. Seems like there is a lot going on in Phil's world, and he wants you to know about it.

Games to Try Before You Die: Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater (PSX/N64)

Ned By Ned 2 weeks ago

Skateboarding...I think everyone tried it at least once. They either failed miserably at it, or followed through and were able to pull off at least an Ollie or something.  When Tony Hawk hit the scene with the X Games in the late 90's, he revolutionized skateboarding and we followed him too. Then the video game came out, and then even your 5 year old brother could be a skateboarding mad man....and we loved it.

Games to Try Before You Die: Outlander (SNES/Genesis)

Ned By Ned 3 weeks ago

Mad Max is a pretty sweet movie. It was the first movie the featured a new actor straight from Australia...that actor today is Mel Gibson. The movie was about a dude who was taking revenge on a gang that killed his family, also searching for gas to fuel his car.

Then came a game that 'supposedly' had nothing to do with Mad Max, but all the similarities were there. The game though...was actually pretty kick ass!
