This is a great interview with the founder of the greatest metal label of all time. Herr Walterbach answers the questions with great detail and pulls no punches.

Cool, I've got an issue of Sentinal Steel from '95 that has an interview with him, too. If you don't have it already, I'll scan it and put 'er online when I've got a chance.

This is wicked, didn't know he was involved in any punk or political movement

Jeff - I'd be interested to read the article you have.

Great read. Thanks for sharing.
Always great to see someone who is THAT honest.

I thought one of the best points was how he explained how promotion dollars towards bands was based on how much $$$ they were bringing in.

I have talked to a couple bands who have shown frustration due to the lack of promotional push their label gives them.

I think lots of bands think that they will automatically get huge financial support by being on a larger label.

His hatred for Mr Thomas Gabriel Warrior runs REALLY deep.
I love how he even took a cheap shot at HellHammer.
He is 100% correct though. That was one bad band that people feel they "have" to like.
