The Demon of Rock is back - Gene Simmons presents a new series of I Love It Loud on BBC Radio 2.

In this episode, Gene features tracks artists such as Bon Jovi, Soundgarden, Queen, and Johnny Winter

He also has fun with a new feature 'Gene Splicing' where he mashes up hard rock and heavy metal covers of old standards, and this week sees Judas Priest cover Joan Baez's Diamonds and Rust

Throughout the series Gene recollects personal encounters with the artists featured, sometimes as a colleague like when he discovered Van Halen and produced their first demo and sometimes as a fan.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
