Interview with Chip Z’Nuff<\/em><\/p>\n

1. How did you decide to release a covers album?
<\/strong><\/p>\n

We decided a covers record would be a nice way to pay respect to some of our influences throughout our career and a new audience that doesn’t know enuff Znuff may recognize s these\u00a0 great songs! <\/p>\n

2. Please describe us the process of the recording and the musicians that contributed in this recording.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of the record was recorded analog to 2 inch tape, and our record was recorded live with very mininal overdubs which is a very organic approach in this day and age where pro tools is the norm for most groups! Billy Corgan from The Smashing Pumpkins played guitar on cheap tricks ” everything works if you let it” the only other “trick” on this record is that every song was a hit record!<\/p>\n

3. Are we going to expect a studio album with new material from the band?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Working on a new record @\u00a0 Chicago recording company, one of the top studios in north America!<\/p>\n

4. How the band faces the current changes in the music industry in terms of technology and royalties share?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just like everyone else, social media and licencing is the wave of the future!<\/p>\n

5. “New Thing” and “Fly High Michelle” have been the most popular songs of the band. How critical was the heavy rotation from MTV for these songs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Its the reason people still know the band, EZN reached millions because of MTV! Those 2 videos spent almost a year in the top 10 with the biggest bands in the world;<\/p>\n

6. Do you accept or reject the term “hair metal” that was given to you by the media?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Call us what you want, just as long as you call us! Lol <\/p>\n

7. What kept the band alive all these years? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Hard work, perseverance, realizing that we have nothing to lose and everything to gain by putting out good songs, there’s still tons of opportunities for all artists!<\/p>\n

8. The band has faced drug related issues. Would you like to comment on that and let us know how these problems\u00a0 affect the status of the band? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Substance abuse always shortens the run but rewards some artist with great songs, its a double edge sword, be careful what you wish for in life!<\/p>\n

9. What is the most important sacrifice that you did for your music career?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately leaving friends and family to per sue my musical career and dedicating my time to making records and touring!<\/p>\n

10. What are the challenges that you face by being a professional musician in 2014? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The same as everyone else, staying relevant in a time were there is to much product and not enough demand, I wish everyone well in this cesspool we call the business of music, thank you for your support! Chip<\/p>\n
