\nI’m just back from a weekend at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Kerrang! wise, one of the most interesting shows was Andrew O’Neill’s<\/a> ‘History of Heavy Metal’ show.<\/p>\n

It’s unbelievable fun if you’re a metalhead, but if you have only a passing interest in rock music it is still fascinating to see Andrew tell the story, right from the 19th century – apparently! – to the present day. He concludes that now, 2014, is the best time ever to be a metalhead, because you have all the old bands that have come before still releasing music and playing live, AND everything that’s come since. A nice response for the next time someone claims ‘rock music is not what it used to be’ or words to that effect.<\/p>\n

I caught up with him whilst in Edinburgh, and you can hear the full interview on my Kerrang! Radio show on Saturday from 10am.<\/p>\n

If you’re off to the Fringe, it’s on at the Pleasance Dome until August 24th<\/a>. If you’re not, you can check out his show in London (with a full band!) at Highbury Garage on Thursday 25th September<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
