Queensryche Brings The Old School And Classic Albums Back to Jake’s
So there I was, in the middle of the night, at FMX.... Somewhere around 1983 I was working the 10p-2a shift at FMX. Part of my job was to host "The FMX Midnight Metal Shop". This was done in a very interesting and unusual way. I was just given a stack of any album that came in that looked like heavy metal and I was to play four songs from one, then four songs from another, then listeners would vote on which album would make it to the next night where everything would start over. I was able to "discover" a lot of bands this way. In fact, I played a lot of bands before they got signed to major labels, including Twisted Sister and Queensryche.
