Definitely one of the highlights of my life was being able to interview the man that introduced me to the world of heavy metal. I can't 100% credit him with that, but when I was younger, my brother bought Korn: Follow the Leader and Rob Zombie: Hellbilly Deluxe, I quickly fell in love with the albums. I never in a million years think I would be chatting with Rob Zombie.

On February 7th, DeVos Performance Hall will be filled with the music of video games. Music that I am sure if you play older or newer video games, you will recognize the moment you hear it. It is some of the most celebrated music in history, and it overall just kicks ass! Sean & Sam of the GR Symphony stopped by the WGRD studios to talk video game music with station nerd Metalhead Ned.

Remember when trading cards were a big thing? You would buy a folder filled with plastic inserts that you could place your cards in to show off to your friends. Baseball and Basketball cards were big hits. To cash in on the success of sports cards, things like Movies, Musicians, and even television shows showed up in the trading card industry. I went to a local game store that had some leftover 19

Surge came back, French Toast Crunch arrived on shelves...the one other thing that I was excited to see come back was Crispy M&M's! Those things were delicious back in the day! So why is it that I can't find them!?

Another throwback Thursday! It's hard to believe that this interview is over 2 years old! Mastodon, Opeth, and Ghost were rocking at The Intersection in 2012 to a sold out crowd, and I was given the chance to interview Brann Dailor. From what I was told, I had to wear the Mastodon mask during the interview...I later found out, that was false information.

Hey guys, it's me, Metalhead Ned. Due to the massive event we have this weekend by the name of WGRD Pond Hockey, I will unfortunately not be at the first night of the WGRD Heavyweights.

You may or may not have heard of my podcast that I am a part of called The SNaCK, but were a bunch of gaming/comic book/movie nerds. We enjoy talking about anything from our childhoods and today's stuff as well. Since we love the old school stuff, we love to play old Nintendo games. Lately though, we caught a virus, and that virus is Dr. Mario.

Damn! What a busy night the first GRD Bad Bowlers Round 2 was! Last league we did in 2014 had a decent amount of teams, maybe around 30 or so? Last night though, the place was packed!

Returning to Fairlanes Bowling tonight is the WGRD Bad Bowlers League Round 2! Last league was full of beer, food, good times, prizes, and even more beer! There is still time to get in on the fun!

Why is it that every time Nintendo announces something, I have to own it? I owe it to my Nintendo Fanboy-ism on this, but yesterdays Nintendo Direct video had me excited for a lot of things, but one certain item stood out. I already own one of these, but why do I need to buy another one?

Once again at The Stache, we are bringing local metal to the masses with the 2015 GRD Heavyweights! 4 nights of hard driving rock and metal bands will take the stage and battle for your vote to be crowned Heavyweight champ!
