// What was the last song or piece of music you have listened to?
Frankie M by Swans last night.
What was the last record you bought?
Publicist UK Forgive Yourself on Vinyl. I had listended to it on Spotify before and needed to own it. It’s brilliant.
What was the last song you have written?
A song for my grandma’s 90th birthday. I had written it and sent the lyrics to everybody in the family beforehand, so they could sing along at the party. She was very moved when we performed it for her.
What is your all-time favorite record?
In the Nightside Eclipse by Emperor. It’s more than music, it’s a state of mind.
When was the last time you danced?
Probably yesterday with my daughter.
What song do you love to dance to?
I chose not to in public.
What song is on each of your playlists or mixtapes?
Song to the Sirens by This Mortal Coil and God of Emptiness by Morbid Angel.
What song do you really hate and wish it was never written?
Gangnam Style.
What song do you wish you would have written?
Estranged or Madagascar by Guns ‘n Roses, because they are both perfectly arranged.
Is there a song you wish you’d never have written or written differently?
Evolution Valour Admission by Secrets Of The Moon because in retrospect it doesn’t make sense to me anymore, though it’s a cool song and it’s part of our legacy.
What’s the one song that keeps getting stuck in your head once you hear it somewhere?
Ordinary World by Duran Duran.
What is the best guitar solo ever written?
Zakk Wylde’s guitar solo in Ozzy Osbourne’s No More Tears. I had to learn it in guitar school and it had an immense impact on me.
What kind of music or what song should be played at your funeral?
Have You Ever Seen The Rain by CCR. We played it at my mother’s funeral and it had a somewhat optimistic value. Alternatively Don’t Fear The Reaper by Blue Öyster Cult for obvious reasons.
