For as long as he can remember, Chuck has been crazy about rock and roll. His first concert was Def Leppard when he was five years old and the rest, as they say, is history. Chuck is the host of Loudwire Nights and he also handles all things over at Ultimate Metallica. There's plenty that can be said about Chuck, but most importantly, he's a fan first and tries to live his life by one simple motto: Full speed or nothin'.
