ROCK TALK WITH MITCH LAFON presents Jon Schaffer from Demons & Wizards (Iced Earth).
Jon discusses Demon & Wizards great new album III, the creative process behind it, his interest as establishing the band as his primary band, will commercial success dictate the band's future, having made a new classic record, the music industry's hamster wheel, working on his very unique first book, Iced Earth's upcoming new album, touring and much more.
Quotes:
"This whole project stems from brotherhood."
"We discovered by accident that we (Hansi & himself) could write songs together."
"One of the big things that makes this album so diverse is there's actually four tunings on it. It's a fairly big deal in terms of dynamics."
"We both know our audience. And we know what they want because it's what we want."
Touring - "2021 - Iced Earth. No Demons & Wizards. If Metallica says 'we want to take Demons & Wizards on tour,' then everything will probably change. But in the real world there's probably no chance of Demons' shows until 2022 at the earliest."
