| 1. What are you currently up
to? |
Just finished
the new CD called "Independent". Europe release will be October
14th. |
| 2. Who were your
influences? |
|
| 3. Which band would you like to
see reform? |
Bon Scott joining
AC/DC, or Soundgarden. |
| 4.Would you ever consider putting
the original Kingdom Come line-up together at all? Do you know what other
ex-members are up to at all? |
A few months
ago I actually got a call from Danny Stag and later James Kottak regarding
a reunion tour. The tour almost got booked, but then was cancelled by James,
who had to fullfill his obligations to the Scorpions. I have to admit, that
Danny and Johnny have been missing a lot of euphoria regarding a possible
Comeback, which to me, as a very sensitive loony brain is very important.
It's not all about business, at least not for me. |
| 5.Do you prefer studio time or
being on the road? |
Depends on the
time of the day. I prefer getting out of MY bed, but at the same time LOVE
rocking on stage with lots of Kingdom Come brains. |

6. How do you find time to write so
many classic tunes? Have any ever been covered by other artists? |
I have no idea,
just happens. I actually just write enough to fill a CD and spend the rest
of the time reloading my battery by living live and doing lots of "twilight
cruising". Several artists have called e.g. Don Dokken. I don't know what
came out of it. |
| 7.Who would you like to work with
in the future (or would have liked to in regards to dead rock
stars)? |
The drummer
from former Soundgarden. For guitar solos, David Gilmour, Angus Young, U2's
"The Edge". On rhythm guitar, Malcom Young or myself. I am always looking
for "the tone"! Or an Depeche Mode meets Kingdom Come
experience. |
| 8.What do you think abot the state
of rock music at the moment? It seems classic rock/ 'hair' band muisc is
big news again but only as a touring veichle (eg all the classic rock bands
touring the US - Styx, REO, Scorpions, Poison - but no new albums in many
band's cases)? |
Obviously lots
of people like to relive the good old and careless 80's and therefore meet
at concerts. I personally do not consider Kingdom Come as an 80's band. Musically
our roots are much more to befound in the 70's, and now with the new record
in a combination of 70's meets 2002. |
| 9. What was the last thing you
read? |
The TV
guide. |
| 10. Message for your
fans... |
We're connected
through the music, and therefore I treasure you all! I truly hope to see
you all very, very soon! |
