I appreciate that very much.
Yes we were the one's that stopped Metallica. We knew that would hack off the audience.
When we first started the Eagle, everynight we would get POUNDED on the phones..."GO EFF YOURSELVES!" - "YOU EFFING SUCK!" - "I HOPE YOU DIE!"
We'd get on the elevator both with our heads hung down thinking we were just terrible.
One night I got pissed at some guy on the phone and just exploded. I really just cussed him out. I beeped all the cuss words out and aired it. After that, we had listeners that would have literally killed for us. Everywhere we went in Dallas people knew us and every gig we ever did, people made us feel like absolute rock stars. It was the most incredible time of my career.
The PORTA POTTY prank seems to be one of the most memorable ones we ever did for some reason. I know I have a tape of it somewhere. I - like most of you - have a HUGE box of tapes with old shows on them.
I have never heard Pugs and Kelly, so I can't comment on those guys. I have heard that most people that know them like them. I don't hear much trashing of them, and in this business that's rare.
We BEGGED and BEGGED for the Eagle to give us mornings back before they hired Mikey and we were continually denied the post. I must admit, I am STILL bitter about that. (Well that and every other day of my life, ha.)
I miss Dallas very much!!
