| 1. What are you currently up
to? |
I have recorded
I just finished recording some of my stuff at home and I'm doing some
west coast dates w/ EZN next week.
|
| 2. What has been the highlight(s) and low point(s) of your career to
date?
|
Highlights would be getting to travel I guess, the low points would
be everything else.
|
| 3. What are the plans for Enuff Z Nuff over the next year or so?
|
I'm thinking we'll do some more touring on our own and start to write
songs for the next CD. And then possible a big summer tour with a few
other bands.
|
| 4. Why do you think Enuff Z Nuff have survived so long when many
other bands fell by the wayside, especially in the 90s?
|
I think it's a combination of good songs that are timeless and the
ability to still be able to perform them great live. I think when EZN
first came out ppl got a little taste for that whole pop/glam thing
but it fell apart rather quick. So mabye they are still interested
in that sound and they still come out cause those songs give them
back a little of themselves from that time in their life.
|
| 5. Is Donnie Vie still in the band or has he left? How did last
year's UK tour go with you in the lead vocal spot?
|
Donnie has put together another band and is doing his solo stuff and
EZN tunes. He's not touring w/ us but he might be writing another CD
w/ Chip. I thought the UK tour went good. We've been a 3-piece for
a while now so I'm pretty used to it.
|
| 6. What inspired you to first take up the guitar? Who are you main
influences? |
I was into Elvis when I was 12. My influences constantly change.
For guitar players I've gone through everyone that was popular at the
time. Beatles, Jimmy Page, Nugent, Eddie, Randy Rhodes, Schenker,
Uli Jon Roth, Holdsworth, Yngwie, Demartini, Lynch, Gilbert, Jason
Becker, Gregg Howie, Scott Henderson, etc..
|
| 7. How do you approach songwriting and where do the ideas come from?
Which song(s) are you most proud of and why? |
I've approached it from all sides. Sometimes the hook is first,
sometimes the beat, sometimes the verse lyric, etc. It depends on
the type of tune. I do not write any of the EZN songs so I cant
claim to be proud of any of them.
|
| 8. Is there anyone else you'd like to work with in the future?
|
Paris Hilton
|
| 9. What do you do in your spare time outside of music?
|
Worry.
