Muziek blijft mijn grote hobby, zoals velen van jullie al weten. Niet voor niets schrijf ik al jaren voor Asice.net en Rock Tribune. Het is nu eenmaal geweldig om over muziek te praten met medeliefhebbers en de muzikanten zelf. Of je muzikale helden ontmoeten en ze ook nog eens mogen interviewen. Biohazard bijvoorbeeld. Het interview dat ik vorig jaar met de supersympathieke zanger/gitarist Billy Graziadei deed, is mijn favoriete interview. Niet dat Billy zulke schokkende dingen te vertellen had, maar meer door het feit dat hij zo aardig was, terwijl hij toch een wereldster is in het genre. Hier volgen wat citaten, voor het complete interview kun je terecht op Asice.net:

You�??ve promised before to return to the old Biohazard sound, but this time you really did it.

You know what bro, I think that as an artist you can�??t try to force anything, you just have to let it happen. This time everything just seemed to happen. My life�??s different now. I don�??t have to go on tour for a year and a half in a row and deal with the pressure of the music industry.

So how did you rise up to the success that you had in the early nineties?

I don�??t really know how it happened. There was no big marketing plan making things happen, it just all fell into the right place. We were just four kids from Brooklyn that dealt with our reality and shared it with the world. I think a lot of people related to it and understood it because we weren�??t fabricated. Basically it�??s been great. It�??s given me a lot of memories, a lot of stories and a lot of fun. Let�??s sit at a bar and talk about it some time, because I have stories that will entertain you for hours!

What are the biggest ups and downs that you experienced with Biohazard?

You know what, it was all one giant mountain. I think that I�??ve successfully climbed the mountain and it�??s nice to look up and see the flag that I planted on the top because not many people were able to plant theirs and I definitely left my mark.
