Not a prob man.
What made DEATH ANGEL decide to reunite after 15 years of silence?
Well, from what I know, DA, was never to reunite. DA decided to play a one time show only for the Thrash of the Titans (a benefit show for Chuck Billy of TESTAMENT). After that show, more shows were getting offered and we just went with the flow.
In 2004, you released "The Art of Dying", has there been any work on a follow up to that album?
There are some ideas and rough skeletons of new stuff. Nothing concrete yet.
Is there any tour plans for 2006?
As of now, no touring plans at the moment.
How was Wacken 04 to you guys?
Wacken was fun. All the shows and festivals in Europe are a BLAST!!!
Is there any new bands that you really enjoy?
I really dig the new FEAR FACTORY album. Been playing of the MACHINE HEAD album (Through the Ashes of Empires) alot. Plus some old stuff like BLACK SABBATH (w/ Dio) and MAIDEN.
Who are some early influences on your playing in DEATH ANGEL?
Early influences for DA (before I was in the band) would be KISS, QUEEN, SCORPIONS, MAIDEN, AC/DC, old METALLICA, and alot of early punk stuff like GBH and EXPLOITED.
I read somewhere that you're known as "The World's Smallest Samoan" what is that all about (haha)?
HAHAHAHA, that's something Mark calls me. It's funny as fuck, but I know he loves me :)
Ok, last question for you, what's your view on downloading music on the internet?
It's good. I haven't downloaded in awhile. I'm one of thoes who check out music online. If I like it, I'll buy the album.
Ok Ted, thanks for your time and good luck in the future!!
Right on, thanks for the interview.
