Zachary Stevens - "I Am Totally In Favor Of A SAVATAGE Reunion"
November 8, 2009, 15 years ago
Greek-based Rockpages Web Magazine recently did an interview with Zachary Stevens (ex-SAVATAGE/ CIRCLE II CIRCLE, MACHINES OF GRACE). The interview was revolved around the new MACHINE OF GRACE album but also a possible Savatage reunion in the future. Here's an excerpt:
Rockpages.gr: So, I believe that you can guess my next question. It's about a reunion... (Zak laughs). I was sure you were going to understand this one (laughing). So, should I expect to hear a big 'no' or what?
Zak Stevens: "Well, it's the same as the last six months or a year. We all know how we feel about it, I am totally in favor of that. I think it would be great, I think it's more of a matter of timing because it seems as I’m talking to the guys everybody's really in favor of this. Overall we have a good feeling there, it’s just a matter of what decisions Jon Oliva and Paul O' Neill are gonna make as far as it is in their regard and then what is our role, what do we need to do in support of that. I feel that is more of a matter of time, hopefully."
Rockpages.gr: All right, now, imagine that Jon or Paul calls you and tells you that from tomorrow you get into the studio for a new Savatage album and a tour. What is gonna be the first words that you gonna say?
Zak Stevens: "I would probably say... Fiiiiiiiiiinally... (Laughing), something like that. Seriously, I think I would probably say something along the lines... 'It's about time!'”
