Man…I really can’t wait for ATR to release their next album!

and nice to see that Phil’s into football and is probably a Patriots fan like me. i’m in NJ, so you can imagine how happy everyone was about the Giants winning the Super Bowl. Everyone celebrated except for me. I got so much shit the following day from my entire school. Oh well..next year.

Nice interview, and pretty cool that you got to meet with Phil.
Sadly I never really met with any big bands yet…

Thats cool man. I Had a blast interviewing them. I don’t know how unfamiliar you are with ATR but the lead singer back in the beginning of Shadows fall was their lead singer and was replaced by current singer…thats a place I didn’t go during this interview because I’m sure he’s heard it a thousand times. Besides, If he was dismissed by Shadows Fall there would be no ATR…and that would suck. I like both bands but I like ATR a whole lot more than I have ever liked Shadows Fall. And Phil was a really cool guy. I hope to do more interviews. Probably next time with just a tape recorder. Depends what they let me do. I had one on during the interview with Phil as a back up. I forgot it when I left the tour bus and went back to get it…just to realize that when I hit record I also hit the pause button.

I think I got the last CD of F&J with Newsted on it. Death to the deciever or something like that. Obviously I don’t listen to it often. I thought Quattro was a much better record.

I just wanted to share two sort of silly stories here-

Way back in the day (probably 91 or 92) when I used to DJ for WVCR 88.3 in Latham I got a chance to interview FLotsam and Jetsam (remember them??). Anyways the first thing I mentioned was the success of Metallica with Jason Newsted and I asked the Flotsam guys what they thought about Newsted and if they would ever tour with metallica ( Newsted was in Flotsam for the first album). The Flotsam guys got up and left. I didn’t know there was a ” no jason rule “.

Another time I got to interview Overkill. They were headlining a local venue right around Easter. I asked them if in honor of Easter they were going to play ” Deny the Cross “. Merritt Gant, Overkill’s guitarist at the time told me on air that when they wrote that song they weren’t thinking anything anti christian and that I didn’t understand the lyrics. I told him he wasn’t even a member of the band then ( not even a roadie ) so how could he have known what they were thinking. He got up and left the interview. Bobby Blitz, Overkill’s lead singer cracked up and called me a mean muther fucker ( on air, which got me in trouble of a different sort).

Interviews are fun

ATR!!!
