Hard Fast and Heavy picks
Dale hosts the ass-kicking metal specialty show on 95bFM called Hard, Fast and Heavy. He took over in 2006, after a pilgrimage to England for Ozzfest and the Download festival. And no, he's not deaf. When you see him out at a gig, give him the horns! These are the gigs Dale recommends.
