\nROCKET RANT: For All The Smack Talkers!<\/strong>
\n
\nThe past six months at my site TMD has been the most
\nexplosive in my young career as a rock journalist.
\nI’m told daily my work is the best around… and then the next
\nmoment I will receive a nasty email or comment left to
\ntry and put me in my place. Listen up, yeah,
\nmuthafucker that means YOU!
\n
\nI have a wealth of contacts in the metal biz and
\nliterally a million fans that have read my rock journalism in the past 5 years.
\nDon’t forget I’ve been published at the top rock band sites: DOWN, HELLYEAH,
\nFILTER, MOTLEY CRUE bassist Nikki Sixx’s ‘Sixx Sense’ radio show official site, just
\nto name a few of the more than 200+ sites my creation THE METAL DEN has been
\nfeatured at in the last six months alone.
\n
\nI also have a OZZY OSBOURNE CD from Epic Records with my name and TMD’s
\nactually imprinted on it, from when they personally requested I review it.
\n
\nDo you have one of those?<\/em>
\n
\nThis year I also was the first rock journalist to ever break a never released
\nKISS track to the public.. not once… but how about TWICE!!! LOL
\n
\nFurthermore, Victory Records and Prosthetic Records both have bands featured in
\nan exclusive site takeover to promote their hottest acts new album releases
\non Aug 31st at THE METAL DEN dot com, a deal orchestrated by my partner
\nEddie Karam (in Florida), who just happens to be co-owner of Red Rocket Entertainment,
\nwhich is home to great acts like WITHIN CHAOS, umm…they played Ozzfest
\ntwo years back.
\n
\nTo date, my little heavy metal news site that I started from NOTHING and as a
\noutsider is now one of the most respected around… and is on pace to have
\n200,000 visitors total for 2010 and roughly half a million page views!!! All of this with
\nZERO paid advertising. As well, I have amassed a small fortune from my band
\npromotions service (yes, I get to wake n bake in the morning, kiss my hot wife,
\nand listen to music for a living, something I would like to thank ALL my loyal Den Head
\nreaders for!!!) TMD Promo<\/a><\/strong> is truly the first of its kind in the rock n roll world. TMD is still the only
\nmetal news site that allows ‘unsigned acts’ to be promoted among the national acts,
\nlike two-time Grammy Award-nominated GWAR, who have brought another one of my
\npartner Eddie’s acts on their new tour as support: INFERNAEON (Prosthetic)… for 50 dates
\naround the country at venues like House of Blues!!
\n
\nSo let me ask you Mr. and Mrs. smack talker who always has to take time
\nout of their small little lives to try and tell me how shitty I am at my job…
\nthe thing that is indeed my passion<\/em>.
\n
\nWho are you, man and what have you done for the heavy metal world, huh?
\n
\n(CUE Crickets At Night Sound FX!)<\/em>
\n
\nThat’s what I thought… all TALK and ZERO ACTION!!!
\n
\nAll Hail,
\n
\nRandy “Rocket” Cody
\nCreator, TMD
