He explains that before, before the computers and websites, the critics came in another way: by letters.
“A guy came to watch us at the Rainbow Theater as soon as I joined Iron Maiden … and he sent me a letter saying ‘I hate the new singer! It’s like listening to my favorite songs being played by an air-raid siren. ‘ And then Rod (Smallwood, entrepreneur) said ‘Brilliant! A human siren air-raid! ‘”
I am a Brazilian journalist, a Classic Rock and Heavy Metal lover.
Music has always been part of my life, helped me through tough moments and was with me to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After college I did a postgraduate degree in digital communication. This has helped me to make the website better and bring the best of classic rock to the world!
