In the old days, we would all be playing together and put it down on tape. These days we basically map each of our parts using MIDI, get the tempos adjusted, and then everyone lays down their tracks individually. I used to play with the band and now I'm playing to a computer. I liked the older days better. That would be cool.
Queen is one of our biggest influences.
We'll start the tour soon. The US environment is kind of strange at this moment, not like it was 10 years ago. A lot of venues where we used to play are closed. I think interest in live music here is fading due to the fact that you don't have many good live bands, and ticket prices are extremely high. It's somewhat cheaper in Europe and the venues are larger.
