In 2002, I decided to started my own music webzine, and it was then that I launched GlamMetal.com. This was a site that primarily focused on the many great hard-rock bands of the 80's such as Motley Crue, Poison, Ratt, and you know the rest of them. Then in 2009, I decided that I wanted to write about all types of music, so I changed the site name to RockMusicStar.com. This way I could truly cover all different types of rock music. So here we are, and what a great trip it's been. Over the years, I've interviewed and photographed hundreds of amazing music artists. I still get just as excited about hearing new music today, as I did as a 12 year old kid, listening to KISS for the very first time. I really hope that you can find enjoyment out of my articles and photos. Hopefully, God willing, I will be able to provide many more over the next few years. Finally, I'm always looking for feedback on the site. I can be reached at thomas@rockmusicstar.com
