I never heard of Anvil, nor am I familiar with the allure of the floppy sounds the lead singer Lips can make; though I, too, can make those same sounds.
My husband introduced me to the beauty of metal in a place called Sword Swamp - appropriate, I do believe. I had started out with an affinity for Kiss, Aerosmith, Deep Purple, Lynard Skynard - and then jumped to the Parliment Funkadelics, The Ohio Players, Slave - then I switched to Adam Ant, Billy Idol, Kajagoogoo - then there was this weird period of country music which I phased out of and in to the offerings of my beloved husband, who says I am not shy at all (SEE KAJAGOOGOO "TOO SHY".)
Any way - after watching Phil Anselmo "THANK YOU! THANK YOU VERY FUCKING MUCH!!" (my best Phil Anselmo impression based upon personal observation at a Pantera concert) conducting this interview I came away with one question:
What is the difference between a Bass player and a BASS player? They both have to have hooks, strong fingers, and a line.
