Steel Notes Magazine when I got started with Dream Evil
Oh wow ok ! That I did not know . In 2017 Firewind is going to be your top priority until the Oz-man comes calling ? How is that going to work out for you ?
Yes , obviously we have a new album so to promote it we have the tour , we have a lot of festivals that we ’ re going to be doing and just keep doing that and in between that keep writing my next solo record . I have some sporadic solo gigs here and there and we ’ ll see what happens after that . If we get to work with Ozzy then that ’ s what ’ s coming up next and if that doesn ’ t happen then I ’ m going back into a solo record I guess
Your last solo record is awesome . Thanks !!
How does it feel to have your name thrown in with some of the heavyweight guitarists like Steve Vai and all them ? Because your name is in the mix there with them
It is a big compliment of course ! I am nowhere near as good or as big as those guys but some of those guys are my heroes . I grew up their posters on my wall and listening to the records and stealing their licks . Anytime you get to do a show with those guys , open with them or jam with them or with any of those guys it ’ s a big moment for me
Good luck on the album . I look forward to the next one . If the Oz-man comes calling , I will see you on the next tour ! Firewind ’ s new record will be released on January 20 , 2017 .
