this IS fred.
how have all you been.]
been kinda layin low, but keeping my eye on the forum here.
first thing i would like to say is that it was awesome to be able to record an album with the zh boys.
they ARE as nice as everyone sais they are.
and i am happy they are off and rocking with a newer album, and singer. that new guy kills. i am truly happy for them.
i might have gone into the studio alot nervous, and a little too enthusiastic,. and throw three killer musicians, virtuosos if you will, in with an out of town singer, who usually does things the way he(me) wants to, there could be a little tension. but all in all, i would do it a thousand times over.
plus the guys knew i lived in houston, and had a family, and couldnt tour at the time, so i think we all looked at it as if i were the interim singer, even before i recorded with them. and i just kinda layed low, so as not to cause controversy, or hurt record sales....
as for what i am doing now,:
well, i am doing long distance song writing with my long time guitar player marc pattison, and we about got seven songs to shop, if anyone knows someone interested, drop me a message,.it is seriously gonna rock.
also, i have some offers to record on other prog metal albums, but i cannot divulge the details., and have not yet decided if i want to go that route.
anyway, thanx jasun and troy. twas a blast. you guys shred. its all good on my end.
oh yeah, it IS hard to write shit over zero hour material. really hard...challenging... and fun as hell...
peace all
