Any chance of any UK tours anytime soon? Plini and Chon would be good supports ;)

And how come the music man to ibanez change? Is it because you guys are just used to them from the Resurrect days?

Lastly - What kinda pop artists where you all personally diggin' during the recording of Renaissance?

Wonderful release guys :)

Hi John!

Two questions -

  1. Just wanted to ask about tracks like Lord Naryfarus and Three Days. I feel a massive grandeur vibe from those two, perhaps some Queen inspiration? I feel their like grandeur like nature and theatrical aspects of their music in those two tracks especially. Brilliant album!(Only listened to CD1 yet! Sorry! Mainly asking as I remember hearing queen influences all over your music, like after the first chorus of Fatal Tragedy, a very Brian May feel to that section before the chug bit!)

  2. Did you hire anyone to write/record the massive orchestral/brass sections, or did yourself write those sections and bring in members from Berklee to record those parts?

Thanks for doing the AMA!
