Other nominees honored in this category were Nikki Sixx, Jackie Kajzer, The

Upon accepting the honor

never know when you’ll be dead.”
LOU BRUTUS is best known for his eighteen
plus years of national syndication hosting hardDrive and hardDriveXL
as well as his work on other national radio platforms. He has done local
shows in Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington DC, and Providence.
Brutus has also hosted radio specials
and/or created radio channels for Metallica, Slipknot, Stone Sour, Rush,
Disturbed, Theory of A Deadman, Smashing Pumpkins, and countless others. He
was the very first to give national airplay to innumerable bands including
Slipknot, Five Finger Death Punch, Halestorm, and Sevendust.
Brutus is frequently onstage to host
some of the biggest festivals in rock including Knotfest (San Bernardino,
CA), where this past October, he also hosted its worldwide webcast, in addition
to 2014’s Sonic Boom in Madison, WI and RockFest in Cadott, WI.
LOU BRUTUS is currently working on two
books. The first is a coffee table book of his rock memorabilia collection
entitled “One Man – Two Thousand Concerts: The Greatest F*cking Collection of
Rock Show Sh*t in History”. The second is a book of his adventures in music
entitled “SONIC PIMP: My Life As A Rock and Roll Reprobate – Tales of Sex, Drugs
and Vomiting At Inopportune Moments”. D4EO Literary Agency represents him in the
