    Brian Greenway was asked Great Questions But he could say anything.

    A lot of “I guess” “I don’t know” or “I can’t remember “

    Leaving the Audience clueless

    Surprised he wasn’t very Grateful for the opening slot or that the media wanted to interview him. He didn’t even know RUSH status or couldn’t comment on future endeavors.

    The interview get a a five star for

    The questions But not the confused answers from the guest which he laughed about.

    Not know about Darien Lake ??? Mentioned a fo... more

Adrian Vandenberg on Whitesnake and My Whitesnake Years
Q: What was it like stepping into Whitesnake and becoming a central part of the 87-88 era in the States?
It was a mix of excitement and pressure; the band was already a phenomenon, and I had to bring my guitar voice to life on stage while adapting to a new roster and a US tour dynamic that demanded a larger live set.
Mick Box on Uriah Heep and The Magician's Farewell
Q: What impact has the US market had on Uriah Heep's approach to touring?

Mick Box on Uriah Heep and The Magician's Farewell
Q: How does the band decide on the set list for long tours?
They focus on songs that matter to many fans across territories, including The Magician's Birthday, and add older tracks that haven't been played in a while while incorporating a few newer pieces.
Skid Row's Rachel Bolan Goes Solo + Marcus Monroe's Subway Comedy
Q: So, how did this whole project get, let's say off the ground?
Rachel explains that she had existing songs, partnered with producer Nick Raskulinecz, and decided to pursue a solo record with input from friends, while continuing to value organic writing and frequent rewrites to refine lyrics and arrangements.
Venom’s Rage Dixon & Six Feet Under’s Jack Owen Talk New Albums
Q: How did Venom approach the Into Oblivion sessions after the technical setback?
They rebuilt from the demos, kept the live feel, and deliberately incorporated ambient elements and unusual time signatures to push the band into a progressive direction while preserving Kronos' iconic voice as the anchor.
