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!

Best Ear Plugs for Concert Goers
I've been going to rock concerts since I was 12 years old (I'm 31 now), and for half of those years, I didn't wear ear plugs. Hell, who wants to wear ear plugs to a rock show? Ear plugs muddy the sound — plus, they look dorky. But it's really important to protect your ears, so here are my recommendations for the best ear plugs for concert goers.
David Coverdale Covering Old Deep Purple Songs for New Whitesnake Album
People forget that David Coverdale used to sing with Deep Purple. When Ian Gillan left in 1973, an unknown singer named David Coverdale auditioned for the band and, viola!
Over the course of two years, Coverdale recorded three albums with Deep Purple, 1974s "Burn" and "Stormbringer" and 1975s "Come Taste the Band...
KISS Did What???
In the past, Gene and Paul have made it a huge deal that KISS is four dudes on stage, who play their instruments and blow crap up. They even went as far as saying that there are no hidden musicians backstage or backing tracks.
Well, that all changed over the weekend...
Look What Ramone Found!
After a good two weeks of searching, I FINALLY found my Blu-ray remote.
Any guesses as to where it was? Yup, buried in the couch. I'm guessing I left it on the arm of the couch, the dog got on the couch, and then it fell between the cushions...

Boy With Giant Penis Complains Too Much
I hate when men with large wieners complain about what a burden they are. Shut your g******n f***ing mouth! God gave you a gift and you're thanking him by (mushroom) slapping him right in the face! Oh, you're upset because when you wear tight jeans the outline of your schmeckle shows...

New Motley Crue Song Blows
I finally listened to Motley Crue's newest (and last) song "All Bad Things." It sucks. Big time. And I thought that the Japanese Kiss collaboration was bad. This is worse.
Musically, it sounds like a bad Avenged Sevenfold song, and the lyrics are really stupid and generic...
Super Kick Ass Rob Halford News!
After Rob Halford left Judas Priest in the early 90s, he formed a metal band called, Fight. The band only released two albums, but they were more in the vain of Pantera than Judas Priest. After that he tried his hand at industrial (didn't work) and then formed a solo band before rejoining Judas Priest...
