I am very well, thank you. I am preparing to be become a father in November.
What have you been up to recently?
I've been doing a lot of tv ads, movie scores, record sessions and video game scores over the last year.
How is the Nena tour going?
The Nena tour is great. The record that i did with her has just gone platinum in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
How did you hook up with Nena?
I started working with her after her drummer/MD (Van Romaine), reccomended me. I had known a few different players from NY that had worked with her in the past (Andy Hess from the Black Crows and Gov't Mule, Tony Bruno from Joan Jett, etc.), and they all had great things to say about her. She is the real deal. She has that ability to captivate a stadium full of people and have them all in the palm of her hand. She's an amazing talent and a real joy to work with.
Tell me about Pisser.
A few years back, i was in a band called Honky Toast with some of my closest friends in NYC. It was just a fun band that would play when we were all in town at the same time. We were just having fun with it and we played a few shows. Before we knew it, there were all these A&R guys coming to the shows and a huge bidding war started. It was a great band, but didn't really happen for a variety of reasons. Pisser is the same singer and the same drummer from Honky Toast. It is just a fun, kick-ass, rock band. The same type of thing is starting to happen again though. We'll see what happens.
What is your status with GN'R?
I'm still a member of Guns n' Roses and I still consider that my main band.
What is the current guitarist situation in GN'R?
At the moment, Robin Fink and I are the only guitarists in the band. We switch off between lead and rhythm.
What is the latest news on Guns's forthcoming album, 'Chinese Democracy'?
Axl is still finishing up vocals on the record and I've heard rumours that it will be released before the end of the year. Only time will tell.
