"It's crazy. It's kind of sad that we really don't have, in both candidates, someone that we can trust or really get behind like we should. There's major flaws with both.

Backing Michael on the record are WHITESNAKE guitarist Joel Hoekstra, EVANESCENCE drummer Will Hunt, bassist John O'Boyle and East Coast shred-master Ethan Brosh.
