This is the third song in the famed “Creed Trilogy.” This one also wasn’t on my CD. So, this would be the only place you can find it these days. Of all the shots I’ve taken at the band over the years, this is one of my favorite pieces. Also one of the longest. I think it holds up though. The payoff seems to be worth it. People ask me who write and sings my songs. When I tell them that *I* do, they say “we didn’t know you could sing.”  I then tell them “If I could…I wouldn’t be in radio.” This was a fun one to write *and* sing. Hope you enjoy it.

So…you may have heard me play Disturbed’s “Liberate” together with Chaka Khan’s “I Feel For You” a few times over the years. Fact is…they’re the same song. I told David. He was…euphemistically surprised. This was long before Mashups became popular. I will edit this piece and insert the track so you can hear it for yourself. It’s VERY funny…now. It wasn’t to David.

This was pretty early on in the career for these guys. VERY smart, and tolerant. A good day in NoCal. I wish they’d have stayed together. I thought they were more musical than Slipknot, to whom they were most compared. And, if I’m being honest, I think Hellyeah sucks. So, if these guys decided to reunite someday, I’d go check it out.

This is the first time we met so many years ago. Zakk wanted to KILL me! At the time, it was strongly rumored that Mike Inez, who was playing bass for BLS at the time, was about to announce his departure to assume the Metallica slot. Zakk hadn’t been told anything, and was more than a little annoyed that we were bringing it up. Little did I know at the time, that we’d go on to embark on a bromance that’s lasted over a decade. Zakk’s always been tolerant of nonsense. In fact, he loves it. Here’s more unedited Neanderpaul & Zakk comedy/brutality.

This was very early on during the short time Jason played with both Voivod & Ozzy. Ozzy canceled the show in Sacramento that day.  So, Jason played his set with Voivod, and then came to hang out. I’d always heard that he was a difficult guy. Nothing could be further from the truth. Jason’s a smart guy, who suffers no fools. He knows pretty quickly if you know your sh*t. I feel like we hit it off.
