Have you rehearsed with Jon Donais yet? 

Actually Scott and Jon have been out in L.A. playing together a lot. We haven’t played together as a band yet.

What are you looking forward to about the Metal Alliance Tour? 

Well, it’s a bit of a challenge.

In that it’s a month and a half tour?

Yeah, I definitely have to brush up.

How do you prepare for a tour like this?

I do my own practicing. Just getting there and doing it. It’s mostly about getting your chops back up and your breathing and stamina.
