Riki Rachtman

Whatever happened to this guy? Is he in metal now or completely out and on the skidz?

Even though the Headbanger's Ball was pretty lame (and still is), he was the personality behind it.

I hear ya.

I used to love seeing Dave Mustaine give him all kinds of shit...

I believe he's a DJ on some radio station in LA. Not sure on the LA part though. He did an interview with Metal Sludge a while back.

He was doing some NASCAR reporting for TNT or the like. Kudos for remembering the Metal Sludge interview. Assuming what he said is true about how he hated a lot of the stuff he had to play, I respect him for coming out and saying TRICKSTER SUCKS!

He does Racing Rocks every week now on various stations coast to coast.

Little bit of racing, Little bit of nascar and some other odds and ends..

I miss seeing Rob Zombie in the studio background forever painting it like some unfinished work ...

He did Loveline (radio) with Dr. Drew back in the early '90s. The radio station was KROQ in Los Angeles. He left to do his own thing and ended up in another talk show radio station in Los Angeles, 97.1 KLSX. He was married to a porn star at that time and another radio talkshow host (at the same radio station) talked crap about him (Rachtman) for being such a white trash and having a trashy woman. Rikki socked that talkshow host in the face and Rikki was immediately fired. The other co-host to the trash talking guy (Tim Conway Jr., son of Tim Conway) threatened to beat Rikki up, but was threatened to be fired by the radio station, if Tim sacked Rikki.

Other useless facts about Mr. Rachtman, his sister did the soundtrack to the movie "Pulp Fiction." He's of Jewish descent.
