Ramone is living proof that if you do enough stupid radio bits, you'll get on the radio. Originally from the Detroit area, Ramone joined 107.7 RKR in 2006 as The Rocker morning intern. He went on to host nights and mid-days, before accepting a job at Wiser Productions as a talent agent in 2015. But don't worry, he's still lingering around, and you can listen to him preach the gospel of rock n' roll every Saturday from 3 to 8 p.m. right here on The Rocker!

Cheesy 80s Metal Video Of The Day
For everyone old enough to remember MTV, do you remember the first time you saw the video for "Queen of the Ryche" by Queensryche?
Did you think it was insanely cheesy, or did it make you want to watch Star Wars and Hardware? And how about that chick on vocals...
King Diamond Calls In [Video/Audio]
Recently, I had the pleasure of speaking with King Diamond.
Much like history's greatest kings, this king was a true gentleman. Hard to believe that gentleman was probably drinking virgin's blood during the interview. Unfortunately, I was limited on time, so please excuse me for not asking more in-depth questions...
Manowar Must Be Destroyed
MANOWAR have announced their return into the studio to begin working on their next studio album.
In order to concentrate on the yet unnamed new studio album, MANOWAR will postpone their U.S. tour dates in November due to scheduling conflicts...
80s Movies Are The Best!
Dear Buzzfeed, thank you for all your great lists that help me kill half my day.
This time, Buzzfeed put together a list of 68 facts about various movies from the 80s. It's a great way to kill a few minutes at work, because we both know if you're reading this blog, you're not being very productive...
Beware Phone Scammer Scum!
Early this afternoon I received a phone call from a 202 area code number. Usually when I don't know a number, especially one with a strange area code, I don't answer and let it go to voice mail. First time my phone rang, I did not receive a voice mail, however, almost immediately after I hung up on them, they called back and did leave a voice mail...
Pray For Your Sins, Pentagram Is Coming to Town
Get ready to pray for all your sins; the mighty Pentagram is coming to town!
I like to describe Pentagram as the American Black Sabbath. To be honest, if Ozzy, Tony, Geezer, and Bill never got together, Pentagram would be the biggest metal band in the world (well, second after Iron Maiden)...
Behold! The Meat Mountain!
So Arby's has an unofficial sandwich called The Meat Mountain.
Here's what's on said sandwich: turkey, ham, corned beef, brisket, Angus steak, roast beef, three strips of bacon, two chicken tenders, Swiss cheese, and cheddar cheese. This thing is so massive, that when I rest my chin flat on a table next to the Meat Mountain, the sandwich goes up to my eyes...
Jason Becker – ALS Victim
If you're not familiar with Jason Becker, let me give you a quick crash course: Jason Becker is one of the greatest guitar players ever. When he was a teenager, he formed Cacophony with Marty Friedman (Megadeth) and replaced Steve Vai in David Lee Roth's solo band...
Please, Don’t Try This At Home
I assume the lot of you are smart enough not to have sex with animals. I can't say the same for this dude in Saudi Arabia.
A man from Saudi Arabia was in Lebanon last week, and drove himself and a donkey into the desert for the sole purpose of playing a little "donkey kong...
Weird Tales of Ramone: Ribfest
treif — adj Judaism ritually unfit to be eaten; not kosher
This story begins with my love of treif. So, Jews aren't supposed to eat pork. Pig is considered unclean, and hence, not kosher. This hasn't stopped my love of pork.
To be completely honest, I don't remember the year I was first invited to be a guest ("celebrity") judge at Ribfest...
