Full Metal Jackie began her radio career as a DJ at WSOU Pirate Radio, Seton Hall University’s legendary metal station. Instantly addicted to the excitement of life behind the mic, she graduated Pirate Radio (and Seton Hall), to become an on-air personality at WHTG (Neptune, NJ), and later at WDHA (Dover NJ). Not content to limit her exposure to New Jersey, Jackie set her sights on bigger markets (and warmer climates!), making her way west to California’s gold coast. Establishing herself in Los Angeles, she learned the business side of radio and promotions while working for one of the music industry’s largest management companies. After a short stint as on-air host at San Diego’s 94.9 KBZT, Jackie landed the opportunity she had been working toward since her early WSOU days: host and producer of her own (and L.A.’s only) commercial heavy metal radio show, CHAOS on Indie 103.1. Working alongside other Indie 103.1 hosts such as Steve Jones (of the Sex Pistols), Henry Rollins and Dave Navarro, Jackie quickly brought The FULL METAL JACKIE RADIO SHOW to the station’s forefront. Today she hosts WHIPLASH, The only Hard Rock and Metal Show on the radio in Los Angeles airing on the legendary 95.5 KLOS. She is the Author of "FULL METAL JACKIE CERTIFIED: THE 50 MOST INFLUENTIAL METAL SONGS OF THE 80s." Today - The FULL METAL JACKIE RADIO SHOW can be heard on rock stations around the Country!

Happy Cinco De Mayo!
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Did you know the holiday is in remembrance of a hard fought victory won by an under-gunned Mexican army over the French a long time ago?
Did you know that if you build tiny burritos a hamster will eat them while using a poker chip as a damn plate...
One Year Into The Abyss…
It's hard to believe it's only been a year since Jeff Hanneman's passing-- to be honest, it feels more like five years, that's how much he is missed. I remember going to the Golden Gods Awards last year and as people were filing in word of his passing broke and spread like wildfire...
An Open Letter to Hollywood Movie Execs
I'm a big fan of going to the movies and, well, movies in general. Something that's always made me scratch my head is when movies with similar concepts, themes or stories come out at the same time. Currently there is a sports movie featuring Kevin Costner that looks pretty similar to a soon to be released sports movie featuring Jon Hamm...
We’re Living in a #SelfieNation
So a story that went viral online (and was exposed shortly thereafter as a hoax that originated from a satirical website) had a lot of people talking. The premise was that the American Psychiatric Association had officially deemed the excessive taking and posting of selfies as a legitimate mental disorder...
Nine Inch Nails on PBS’ Austin City Limits
