Here are the questions asked / discussed. (Just remember - there are items discussed that 'aren't' in the list below ... so you'll just have to watch the interview! We talked about The Beatles, Led Zepplin, Alice Cooper & items like EMG pickups & Dean Markley Strings!
Questions:

3 -- The bass on the new Rob Zombie Album, Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor sounds huge. How do you manage to make yourself heard among all of the samples and other musicians?
4 -- I know you wrote the song Lucifer Rising on the new album. It's heavy as hell, but also has a cool punk feel. What bands inspire your writing?

6 - What is the process of writing like with the rest of the band?
