A NEW WEEK BEGINS
Another week, another dollar. Or not! Went to see Mission Impossible 3 and The Da Vinci Code yesterday. Tom Cruise rules!!! Tom Hanks .... not so much! I mean, I love Hanks usually, but the Da Vinci thingy was slow, boring and long. Cruise, on the other hand, blows shit up, jumps off tall buildings, and has some crazy technology at his disposal. MUCH more my cup of 'rosy' (for those of you not living in South London ..... Rosy Lee = Tea). Have a few meetings this week that will help me figure out just what I am doing this summer. And I am making some more headway in the whole 'computer art/website design' areas. Thats why you might see random stuff appear and disappear on this site!! Its just me testing out code and seeing what works and what doesn't. Ignore me folks.
Robin - No. I don't sleep. Ever. At all. They called me Nosferatu back in 1694. These days they just call me crazy!!
MB - The plan (although we all know how plans tend to fall apart!) is to put extra tracks up on MySpace and the website. We recorded ten tracks for the album and we would like to keep those for the record. Hence the writing that's taking place now, and the ever-elusive acoustic track. We intend to continue writing and recording throughout the year.
Leroy - Ozzys studio is for him and his friends. It's not a commercial studio (although it is one of the finest I've seen!!)
Jezzi - Yes. That is me in that pic with Steve. Short, spikey blond hair!! Not sure of that look. I think I was going for a 'grown out Brad Pitt' or something!!
Mary - Great question. I do, in fact have managers. A bunch of em, to be precise!! One manages me personally, a team of them manage Camp Freddy, and one manages Circus Diablo. And yes, it can be difficult with some stuff. I have had a few instances where I believe we should be doing one thing, and the manager believes we should be doing something else. Thats when you have to trust that the manager knows what he's doing. VERY difficult for someone like me ..... but I'm working on it.
I have to visit the chiropractor now as I have spent all weekend with a crazy tweaked neck. The product of years of hanging heavy planks of wood over one shoulder and banging my head around like I'm an extra in The Excorcist!! Wish me luck, people. My guy is about 5ft tall, Japanese ..... and as strong as an Ox!! All hail Dr Kimura - the man is a genius!!! So keep it here and I'll see you all soon.
Peace
Billy

Good luck at the chrio! ;-)
I'm sure that you're still not back in the swing of things from vacation ;-)
You have 10 tracks for the album...are you recording more now that Brett's in the mix and the unnamed drummer? We all thought that 6/6/06 was going to be the release date for the CD..obviously not! ;-) Planning on releasing it this year? Club tour before the CD comes out? CD release party at Snitch? ;-)

Aw I liked the Davinci Code, I thought it was good.
Billy , what did you think of the Lost Finale? I thought it totally delievered.
Since Steve Stevens was on your show , do you know Billy Idol? I love him.
Hope your neck feels better.
Much Love, Terri

a pre-release mini tour would be awesome! I love being in on the foundation of something really great!
Now let me ask about chiropractors being I never went to one and I have one hip that feels like it belongs to a 80 year old woman and probably need one-don't they tend to get a little addictive? Like once you start going for alignments you can't stop?
I either need a chiropractor, a new mattress or a hip replacement.

billy,
after watching the vh1 rock honors the other night i was wondering if there is a chance you guy's could get ace frehley to do a guest spot at a camp freddy show? i know it might be a tall order with everything you have going now but it would definetly be cool. he is not the best guitar player of that era but he sure got a lot of kids including myself to pick up a guitar and try to act just like him. just a thought.
thanks,
leon
