Paul Gargano (Metal Edge)

Chuck Shute Podcast

Episode 100!!! Paul Gargano from Metal Edge! When I was a teenager Metal Edge magazine was like my Bible. So it was quite a treat to sit down with Paul Gargano who worked there for many years, became the editor and now has bought the name. We discuss his years working at the magazine, why he left, what happened with Gerri Miller (original editor), and what the future holds for Metal Edge. Plus we talk about his managing career, Rob Halford coming out to him, his feud with Sharon Osbourne, his new Metal game & much more! You won’t want to miss this one!
