Expert Profile: Mike Rogers

Expertise:  I can answer pretty much any questions about metal: bands, genres, songs, etc.

Experience in the area
I am a life-long metal fan, I'm a guitarist in a metal band, I've been to a huge amount of concerts (including every Ozzfest) and have met a lot of famous metal musicians, including Phil Anselmo, Zakk Wylde, Ozzy Osbourne, Bruce Dickinson, Ronnie James Dio, Dee Snider, etc.

Education/Credentials
I graduated from high school, but decided not to attend college to commit to my band full-time.
