Don't let the name of the show fool you. The Hairball John Radio Show is NOT a "Hairband" tribute show. The name of the show comes directly from the nickname given to its creator and driving force, Hairball John. Long story; disturbing photos: don't ask.

"Hairball's" successful ingredients are pulled from all genres of metal from the 80's and early 90's. We feature everyone from Tesla to Iron Maiden, Poison to Anthrax, Skid Row to Armored Saint and every little and big band in between. One of the fun aspects is that you never know how deep into the bowels of Rock and Roll we will delve. On any given night you may hear XYZ, Rough Cutt, Babylon AD, Wildside, Tora Tora or Vicious Rumors.

The goals of The Hairball John Radio Show are to celebrate and re-invigorate the hard rock and heavy metal music which spanned the early 80's to the dawn of Grunge, music that is severely neglected on today's airwaves. An immense amount of great music arose from this era, including established bands like Scorpions, Van Halen, Judas Priest, and Dokken, as well as lesser know bands such as The Almighty, Cry Wolf, Killer Dwarfs, and Little Caesar. Along with favorite tracks from the past, we also feature new music and artist interviews. Many artists have new material that never reaches its prime audience. Both the music and the fans deserve a broadcast forum; that is why it's ALL on The Hairball John Radio Show.
