THE ULTIMATE 80's METAL BOOK! Welcome to the official myspace page for the upcoming book "The Network Interviews" by Frank MacKay, Gordon MacKay, and Steven Fallon! Network was started by the MacKays and soon became the New York City and tri-state area's #1 metal interview newspaper in the late 80's. These interviews are all original and have never been seen anywhere since first published in the 80's - at first only in the NYC area, and then later nationwide through various record distributors. And now, for the very first time since then, fans of 80's metal and rock and roll everywhere can enjoy these very rare interviews in one great book! You will go right back in time to when music was exciting, creative and fun again! These can truly be called "The lost 80's metal interviews!"

Again, these are all original interviews done by Network in the late 80's, very rare unseen in twenty years, together for the first time in a new amazing upcoming book!
But there's a lot more too! Also in the book is a look at 80's metal that takes you right back to the days of big hair and spandex, and the exclusive never-before told story of the creation of Network - literally from nothing - an amazing story in itself!
You'll read how Network scooped every major newspaper in the country to print the very first Bon Jovi "Slippery When Wet" interview!
And even more! You'll read tales about hanging out with legends like Slash (can you guess which infamous vixen answered his hotel room phone?), Blackie Lawless (when W.A.S.P. played NYC after a snowstorm), Dave Mustaine (who's bad attitude almost stopped the interview cold!) and more...like you'll read about what really happened when Network met up with David Lee Roth...you will find out the amazing story about when Network encountered the Spaceman himself, Ace Frehley...and read why Gene Simmons of KISS got quite angry at Network, what he did about it, and what came of it!
