Claudio and Travis in the February Issue of Guitar Player
5 01 2008An interesting interview in the February issue of Guitar Player magazine has recently been posted in our forum.
Here is a snippet:
GP: Are your prog-rock tendencies dictated by the Amory Wars storyline, or would you write music this epic regardless?
Claudio: A lot of this stuff comes from a very personal place. In a weird way, the story is autobiographical, so I think that we’d be writing this no matter what.
Travis: Everybody in the band likes progressive stuff, so, either way, we’re going to be into it. But if you listen to the album, there’s some very straightforward stuff, too. We love music that’s all over the map. We love a good pop song. We love a good rock song. We love metal. So we try to put all of that into our music. We do have a lot of songs that have five or six parts and are eight of nine minutes long, but that’s just our way of letting ourselves go, and getting everything we want into a song.
