Joe Holmes... We were in a band with him before. Our band was called Excalibur and it was a way before Lizzy Borden. He’s the nicest guy you’ll ever meet.
Even goes to church every Sunday, but he’s a freak. I mean he’s just one of those weird guys that anytime success comes, you know, they want to ruin it you know? So…right out of our band he travelled with David Lee Roth, did a full on tour but he had to quit because David Lee Roth had devils on stage.
He quit because of that? That’s true. He didn’t want to play next to the devil.
So he’s really a seriously religious guy? Something like that? Later on Megadeth offered him the gig and he turned it down and then… He got an offer from Megadeth?
When did that happen? They desperately wanted him and he turned it down. He said “I can’t play with a band that discusses all that stuffâ€.
And even me, he wanted me to write lyrics that were more friendly (chuckles) you know? Like you know what? I’m an artist.
I wrote what I want to write and if ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
