Blowin’ Wind in 2012: The Year in Interviews

brainfartlogo-300x2302012 was yet another amazing year of interviews for The Great Southern Brainfart.  I can remember when 2011 was drawing to a close and I had no interviews lined up for 2012 and I said, “I hope I have some cool interviews in 2012.”  Well, as you can see below, I have had an absolute blast with interviews this year.  2012 saw me reconnecting with some old favorites like Bob Pantella of Riotgod, Axel Rudi Pell, Tony Foresta of Municipal Waste, and Jonatan Ramm of Graveyard.  2012 also saw me getting to connect with people that I have been dying to talk to such as Shane Clark of 3 Inches of Blood, Arjen Lucassen, the legendary Doro Pesch.

Some truly stand out moments including laughing and hearing great stories from legendary Dio/Black Sabbath drummer Vinny Appice, talking with heavy metal anthropologist/film maker Sam Dunn, and getting to know and become buddies with Skid Row drummer Rob Hammersmith.  2012 was without a doubt another amazing year for me and I am grateful to all of you who have taken the time to comment on my work, send your feedback (both positive and negative), and for all of the support.  Without you all, there is no Brainfart.  Let’s do this again in 2013 shall we?  That is if the Mayans aren’t proven correct in their predictions…
