• Do you prefer this more positive approach to music , like on this album , or darker like on 7 Sinners ?
I do prefer a positive approach always but , you know , Seven Sinners for me is not so negative . You know the picture we had on there is fun , tongue on cheek , like an imagine maybe some mothers or parents wouldn ’ t allow their kids to have that record just because of band folders but it ’ s not been meant serious at all . And that album The seven sinners I think it ’ s not very different , it ’ s a darker approach and heavier and harder and meant to be by that time even though I think it doesn ’ t give or take that much . I am pretty happy with almost all the records we have done with this line up . And this is just another one . But well it is more positive vibe there , the better for me , that ’ s true .
• As I know you are big fan of Deep Purple , which you show us on this album , so what you think about Jon Lord ’ s legacy ?
Well Jon Lord I think was musical genius and you must always think what they were doing back then in the early 60 ’. They were trying to make a band and they were trying to optimize musical concept and everything . If you look at the history of Deep Purple what went down and how long it took to elaborate that personal and typical sound . And you know these people were really adventurers and they were explorers and pioneers in that field of music . Because I mean you would certainly be considered a mad man
