I recently interviewed the new guitarist for Swedish Hard Rock band Crazy Lixx to see what hes got to offer the made for arena rock band.

Hey Andy, You have recently joined Crazy Lixx. Can you tell me how that feels, and how did the opportunity come about?
Yeah, it feels great!

Well, Danny contacted me a while ago and we started talking about the situation, i sent over some recordings and went down to Malmo to play with them and everything felt good, it sounded great and we connected very fast. It all went down very well.

So, as you know you have taken the position of guitarist in the band. A position originally filled by the now Hardcore Superstar guitarist Vic Zino. Its well known that Vic was a very close member of the band to the guys and it was tough for them when he left. Was it hard taking over the guitarist position and do you feel any pressure at all?
Well no, I mean it could have been hard but the guys made it very easy for me, they gave me alot of space and i’ve been hanging and playing guitar with Vic and become good friends with him but i understand the situation and i know those things can be very tuff but that’s the way it is you know.

You used to be in Swedish Hard Rock band Sharp. Which featured several members who are now in bands such as Jailbait and Dynazty. How does playing in Crazy Lixx compare to your time in Sharp and how would you compare the two bands?

Well first of all Sharp was never the style of music anyone of us really wanted to play, we thought it was when we started the band but no, thats why we broke up, we all wanted to play different styles. Crazy Lixx is exactly what i want to do and thats what makes it so easy, and of course the strongest reason for me to join.

Crazy Lixx recently announced they would be releasing their album in Japan, featuring two new songs. Do you play on those recordings? If not when will people be hearing new Crazy Lixx material featuring the Mark 2 line up?
Those songs were recorded at the same time as the album so no, i don’t play on them. I really don’t know exactly when you will hear new material but hopefully in the near future.

Who are your biggest influences?
Impossible to say just like that they are many, but to mention a few i would have to say hmm… Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Extreme, Def Leppard, Skid Row and Yngwie of course haha, the list goes on forever..

How do you think Crazy Lixx fits into todays music scene with alot of music popular generally being emo, indie, hip-hop?
Generally todays music scene is not good, not good at all but i know thats just temporary, I mean they’re alot of great hardrock today but i guess it doesn’t fit todays music scene in the way you put it but thats why we do this, to bring it all back!

Will Crazy Lixx be touring soon and are you excited to get out on the road with them?
Yeah i’m very excited to get out and play! It’s gonna be awesome, new places, new people, Very exciting

What does playing Rock N Roll give you Andy?
It gives me everything! Like when you put on welcome to the jungle or highway star for example you get that rush and thats what it’s all about. Rock n roll is about not being like everyone else and doin everything like you want to! I’ve always done everything my own way and i think thats the way it is.

Playin guitar gives me energy and strength and when i’m on stage, lookin down on that screamin crowd i let it out, it’s the only thing i wanna do!

Thanks for participating in this interview Andy. I wish you the best of luck with Crazy Lixx and i hope to see you guys touring in the UK again soon. Is there one last thing youd like to say on behalf of Crazy Lixx and yourself?
Thank you! I hope we’ll play in the UK soon, Well i would like to thank all of you Crazy Lixx fans who been writing, really means alot!

This song seriously rocks. I cant get the chorus out of my head. Sorry the sound quality is a bit lame but its the only video of the song i could find. Check this song out if you want to hear an anthem!

Awesome new song posted on his myspace page “Vengeance is Mine” http://www.myspace.com/officialalicecooper

She is back, and she is talking about her family, why she left the music scene. She is also talking about the “God of Pitched voice” Jim Gillette, that he is being a business man on this deserted island where they have been living for almost 15 years.
Nuff said about Jim, Lita will be back for good, a new album and hopefully an international tour with her new band.

Watch the interview on Blabbermouth

The Guns and Roses camp, lawyers and even FBI contacted this dude about the streaming of 9 songs from the new long awaited Guns n Roses album “Chinese Democracy”. This dude, Skwerl he calls himself, only streamed the songs, you couldn’t download them.
He says in the interview that the bandwidth went through the roof and the site went down, 5-10 minutes after he posted them.

Clever as he is, he takes them down. And he isn’t afraid of a legal fight or anything. Maybe this is a under-cover media trick, now people is talking about the GNR album again, but did we really stop talking about it?
Axl Rose have worked on this album for almost 15 years now and it almost got out last year, the same time as his tour went of. But it didn’t, unfortunately.

Will it ever come out, we will never know until that day it really does come out. It is a big question mark for me, and maybe for you to.

Sister is a great promising band, and with this might get more fans since they are opening for Private Line, a well known rock band from Finland. They will also record some new songs for you all in a near future.
So don’t forget to see them play at some of these dates and also don’t forget to buy a t-shirt from them while you are at it.

Some of the guys in the band are making this interview hard for Greta, the reporter. For more Mötley Crüe, check this shit:
