Rich Redmond...
If you want an interview with me, you'll have to call my manager and my publicist.

Mike Portnoy. He's one of my personal favorites, and I'd love to hear how he's doing after Dream Theater (which is my favorite band).

Good point, I think I'll get in touch with Wokster, or Drummingbulldog, or Deepdrummer, or Kevron..............
Mike Portnoy is out of the question, I tried to get hold of him but all I got were whingey "I'm protecting Portnoy with my life" die-hard fans who run his FB pages. I gave up, he was playing in my local city, about 4 miles from where I live and I couldn't get to him through all the crap. I'll try again but not in the close future.
There will be a new interview shortly with one of the gentlemen of rock, Alan Parish, otherwise known as Otis the drummer with the Hamsters (a UK touring band)
Watch out for it, because its my best interview yet.

JoJo Mayer or Thomas Lang, maybe?
I've done Jojo a couple of years ago, the interview is someplace
well, the hamster WERE a touring band, their final gig is early next year
That means that they still ARE a touring band, don't get me started!!!!
Their last gig is at the beginning of April
