7 Bandmates - 7 Questions

We have asked every band member seven essential quesions. Here are the answers from them.

Here are the questions:

1. What originally made you want to play your instrument / start singing?

2. What does your personal setup look like – do you have a favorite instrument or piece of gear?

3. Do you have any rituals or routines before going on stage?

4. How do you bring your own style into the band’s songs?

5. Which song of the band means the most to you personally – and why?

6. If you weren’t in the band – what would you be doing instead?

7. Tell us about your favorite food, actor/actress, singer or band and why?

Answers

1. To this day, I’m still embarrassed about it. My mum caught me singing in the bathtub with headphones on, and then suggested I should try doing it professionally

2. No. I play a little bit guitar only because Mario showed me how to play some easy Power-Riffs.

3. I kiss and snuggle with my dog Chester.

4. The boys think, they are the masters in the house... but, well. Let them think so. The truth is, every woman is the real master and so am I.

5. You never own me. A song which was released only through social media (YouTube) because it tells about my own story.

6. I dont't know. The band is just something we do for fun. It's not our profession.

7. Well, look at me. Do I look like a real Junk-Food Junkie? I guess not, but I really LOVE it. My favorite actor is Christoph Walz. I like him and how he plays. And I guess, I dont have a favorite singer or band. I like all kind of rockmusic. Most of all, the older ones like R.E.M, U2 or Linkin Park.

Answers

1. My dad is a professional guitar player. So I got my first Lez Paul with the age of 7.

2. Despite my first guitar was a Gibson, I prefer to play my Strat now. Originally it was white, but I painted it in dark blue.

3. Ahhhh... no, not really. When we see each other, we rarely see each other, so I guess no one needs some special routines.

4. We know each other for such a long time, no one needs to bring in his very own style.

5. Longing for Donna, Country version. I personally dont like Country so much, but I love this one. By the way, Donna is not our Donna. Martin wrote the text about Donna Pinciotti from "That 70s show".

6. I probably would play guitar with my father.

7. All kind of italian style food. I am a typical man and love pretty women. I dont prefer one. Bands or singers... well, Metallica or some good old style rockmusic like U2, Bryan Adams, and so on.

Answers

1. During my time in prison, I wanted to spend my time dowing something with a little sense. So, I started to play accoustic guitar.

2. All I need is my guitar... no need for amps, mics or anything else. This makes me different to Mario, Edi and all the others.

3. I thank Skeeter Davies, my favorite singer.

4. I always try to bring in a bit of county feeling to our music. However, most of times, the others win.

5. Longing for Donna, alternative Country version. No need to explain that.

6. I would probably work as an IT guy somewhere.

7. I dont have any favorite food. Italian style maybe. I dont have a favorite actress, but regarding women, I like Linda Evangelista most. She is already a bit older and certainly older than I, but I like how she manages it to vary her appearance. My favorite music is country style and some kind of old rock.

Answers

1. Oh man. I never used to play an instrument. Some years ago, when we met for the first time in prison, the guyes asked me what I want to play. I had no idea, but they needed a bassist. Well, it turned out, that I like it.

2. I dont need a special setup.

3. I take on my leather coat and leather boots.

4. There is no need to do that because we already make the music I personally like most.

5. I dont have a favorite song. But I like the ones on the last album "Aegis and Valor" most... and of course the ones we are currently working on.

6. I probably would be a super-hero, rescuing little princesses from evil dragons... no, I really dont know. .

7. I eat almost everything. My favorite acress or VIP is Grace Kelly. She sure was one of the most beautiful women ever on earth. No other woman today can come even close to her. And I like all kind of rockmusic.

Answers

1. Scott Columbus. Rest in peace brother!

2. I guess most drummers dream of having a large drum-set. I dont really care. It doesnt matter to me if I'm playing on a small accoustic drum-set or even an e-drum.

3. No, not really.

4. I was the first of us and so I guess I have a lot of influence to the band.

5. Longing for Donna, new alternative version. We havent released it yet, but I like it most.

6. I'd probably be a game tester or programmer.

7. All kind of Italian food. My favorite band is Manowar, but I listen to all kinds of music. Sometimes even opera. And there is no question about the favorite actress. Laura Prepon. I dedicated the whole album "Laura" to her, but I'm afraid, she will never get to know about it.
