Pearl Aday - daughter of MEAT LOAF and fiancée of ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian - is featured in a new interview with Sleazeroxx.com. An excerpt is available below:
Sleaze Roxx: As you said earlier, you wrote with the guys from MoOTHER SUPERIOR and then you put a band together. Did you have to encourage Scott Ian to get involved in the process?
Pearl Aday: "He didn't have to be encouraged. Scott is Anthrax -- he's a metal guy, always has been and always will be. He's very much a rock 'n' roll guy, he has Angus and Malcolm Young tattooed on his arm you know? He loves THIN LIZZY, CHEAP TRICK, AC/DC, THE WHO -- stuff like that are the reason he got into playing guitar to begin with.
He wasn't in the first incarnation of the band. It wasn't until recently that he started playing live with me. We live together, we do just about everything together, so it was a natural progression that he then play guitar in the band to see if it worked. It just made sense since he was already involved with refining the songs and working on the arrangements. He's just an amazing rhythm guitarist, I'd be crazy not to want him in the band. On this tour that we just completed we got a number of Anthrax fans coming to the show to see Scott, but afterward we have heard a lot of positive feedback from the fans who love what they heard and bought the CD, or plan to as a result of the live show. That makes me feel good, that we've reached an audience that primarily listens to heavy metal."
