Congrats on BK3 Bruce, are you happy with how it has been received? I am very pleased with the CD and the reviews and the fans reactions. They could all tell I really put my best foot forward shall I say. It has distribution but at the same time you can buy it from me. What concerns me are the BK fans who don’t know about it! They are missing out.
What is your favorite hook on the record? So many really…. I think “No Friend Of Mine” has a great hook and John Corabi really sells the song with his vocals.
How does the writing process work for you? It is different all the time, but it does usually start with just jamming something on the guitar and things start to happen. When I collaborate, things can really pick up speed quickly and suddenly there is a song.
Gene’s son Nick Simmons sang on the single “Hand Of The King”, is there any irony in that? I guess you could say the title has something ironic in it! He did a great job and it was his lyrics.
You have had a long relationship with ESP Guitars, why ESP? They are really like the LEXUS of guitars. Quality and durability. I have been using them for many years now.
Is Brian May of Queen an influence of yours? He is one of the best of the best. What tone and note choice. YES.
Have you gone full-on digital or is there still a place for analog in your world? I have my turntable out now! But recording-wise it is digital. I do use lots of vintage gear to record though…
Do you have a favorite Beatle? I would have to say Paul for his amazing body of work and talent, but John is there only a fraction behind him.
Any tips on surviving a world tour? Don’t eat the mayo! Seriously. Take care of yourself, and pace yourself. Traveling is hard sometimes.
You are ‘tweeting’, how’s that going for you? Good… I don’t do obsessively like some, but I do update things that are going on for me. Not the “what I had for breakfast” kind of tweets! But people want to know what’s up ~
