I spoke with Lamb of God drummer Chris Adler about their second Grammy Nomination. Said Adler,
“The first nomination was odd, and the second one proves the first one wasn’t a fluke. It’s weird. Any member of any metal band doesn’t aspire to win a Grammy. It’s outside of our reality, if you will.”

I spoke with Ville Valo of HIM recently, and we spoke of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Said Valo,
“Christmas is one of the only days that I don’t work,” he revealed. “So I am excited to hang out with parents and my bro. We’ll eat, sit down, watch TV and shoot the s—. We’re not going to do anything big. There are no relatives coming over. It’ll be just us four.”

Here’s an excerpt from another part of my interview with Ville Valo, talking about the “heartagrams.”
“I am always flattered to the point of blushing,” Valo told Noisecreep. “It’s amazing that the symbol has traveled so well. It’s crazy that so many people know about it and find it interesting enough to actually put it on their skin. Back in the day, a tattoo meant commitment!”

I spoke with the mighty King Diamond. about his reissue series with Metal Blade Records.
“These four remasters have taken up some time,” King added. “I’ve been working on the old footage that is bootleg, but we have good equipment so we can enhance the footage quite a bit. There will be a three DVD set and maybe even four-disc DVD set of Mercyful Fate.”

Here’s another post from interview with Maynard James Keenan, this time discussing his “job.”
“The job, and what I interpret as my job, if that’s how you want to label it, is to observe, interpret and report. We march to the beat of that drummer, so the results are different and decisions are different, since they have nothing to do with money or fame.”

I spoke with Kittie‘s Morgan Lander about surviving the music business. Said Lander,
“The most important is to be good at what you do and be confident. We were young and naïve when we started, and the one thing we had was that we thought we were pretty awesome. People may not have agreed at the time, but there was something there.”
