FORBIDDEN Guitarist Comments On His Latest 'Omega Wave' Podcast

March 19, 2011

FORBIDDEN guitarist and songwriter Craig Locicero checks in about his latest "Omega Wave" podcast guest, C.J. Ortiz:

"This week's show may be our most relevant program so far. With all of the devastation, fear. and suffering happening in different parts of the world, Bill and I thought it was important to change things up. We need something positive now. Enter C.J. Ortiz of MetalMotivation.com!

"We stumbled upon C.J. via one of our listeners who had sent us a link to one of his daily motivational podcasts. This particular podcast was directed towards the Supreme Court ruling in favor of Reverend Phelps and his hate-spewing, ignorant diatribes and followers being able to continue their protesting against gay rights. 'Don't hate the haters,' he said, among many other logical and insightful things. It sounds like simple and useful advice, but it's all about his conviction and delivery.

"C.J. Ortiz is highly educated and a gifted communicator. He may be able to help some metalheads keep their heads up in these most difficult times. I highly recommend everyone give the show a listen and take from it what you will.

"For next week's show, I will be with FORBIDDEN in South America and will try at all costs to do our show live on location!"

Tune in to the "Omega Wave" show at this location. Read more about "The Metal Motivator" here.

Craig Locicero and his co-host "Barbwire" Bill Shields (former host for "In The Dark Radio", professional wrestler and current ordained minister of the collective conscious) will be taking questions and speaking off-the-cuff on whatever news-related and controversial subject may come up.

The goals of the show are two-fold:

1) To speak to different compelling and controversial lyricists in metal and hard rock weekly. They will be asked about their motivation, their craft, and what exactly inspires them in these challenging times to do what they do. Their thoughts and opinions on the most current affairs and intensely debated issues will also be discussed.

2) Have listeners sit in on a real conversation between good friends without censorship watering those thoughts down. Hosts Bill and Craig will be taking questions and topic suggestions live and will have unfiltered reactions to them in real time. These conversations will not hold back and could get very heated at times, depending on the topic.

Tune in live to the "Omega Wave" show at this location.

Previous podcasts and guests have included: Jon Schaffer (ICED EARTH, SONS OF LIBERTY),Henrik Ohlsson (SCAR SYMMETRY) and Neil Fallon (CLUTCH). All of them had much different points of view but all generally want the same thing: a better world for our children's children to live in!

Future guests will include Michael Amott and Angela Gossow of ARCH ENEMY, Dave Brockie of GWAR, Maurizio Iacono of KATAKLYSM, Charles Elliott of ABYSMAL DAWN and many more!
