When asked about the idea behind a solo album

"I'm always writing songs and some of the songs, just depending on my mood, don't fit Queensryche. So I just have just a plethora of ideas and songs. So I just decided to kind of work on them and get them together. I found some guys that that fit with me and now I have an album coming out it's called 'Whip' volume one."


When asked about musical stylings on the solo album

"It's not the power metal or the high operatic singing or anything like that it's more just hard rock. Everybody that's heard it says it's really cool."




When asked if he plans on touring the album

"I'd have to write volume two.....laughs. It's a possibility but you know Queensryche is so busy and we're always working but if there's room in the schedule maybe to do something like a week or two weeks or 3 weeks or something then it's not out of the question."
