Summary

Matt Pinfield finally joins TIJ to detail two unbelievable life-or-death moments that changed everything - the Hollywood accident that sent him through a windshield, and the massive stroke and MRSA pneumonia doctors said he’d never survive. He talks waking up after two months unconscious, the brutal rehab, the rock music that fueled his comeback, and the gold-plated cane Ozzy sent him from England during recovery. Matt also chronicles his early days in music from Jersey rock-radio diehard to MTV’s 120 Minutes host and champion of Nirvana, Green Day, Oasis, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Deftones and more. He shares how one bold phone call landed him the MTV gig, why Depeche Mode nearly derailed his first audition, and what it was really like hanging with Metallica, Van Halen, and hosting his own version of Headbangers Ball called MATTROCK! Plus, hear the incredible story about the day he ended up singing KISS classics with Gene Simmons, Peter Criss, and the late, great Ace Frehley.
