Back once again this week is author and devout metalhead Martin Popoff. Martin just published a new book on Riot entitled “Swords & Tequila, RIOT The Classic First Decade”. So of course this week involves a lot of great Riot discussion.

During the interview Martin and I discuss how San Antonio got to be a hotbed of heavy metal mania for Riot and so many other classic bands way before everyone else caught on. It all comes down to the effect of one DJ Joe “The Godfather” Anthony. You can read a great write up by Metal Dave on Joe Anthony at 2fast2die.com
