January 7, 2011, 13 years ago
SOULFLY / CAVALERA CONSPIRACY guitarist Marc Rizzo is featured in a new interview with MetalAssault.com, conducted prior to the kick-off show of his latest solo tour. An excerpt is available below.
Q: I read that it is going to be a whole new set list this time. What can the fans expect?
Marc: "Yeah, we'll mix it up. We'll do a lot of songs off of the new record, and we'll also do songs that have vocals on them, and also a couple of cover songs. So it will be a fun set list with all kinds of stuff in it."
Q: These cover songs, is this something you've always done, or have you been doing more of it recently?
Marc: "Yeah, we've always thrown in a couple of covers to try and mix it up. One night we do some Sepultura while sometimes we do SLAYER, Soulfly and whatever else we feel like playing."
Q: As you said, the majority of the show is going to be an instrumental performance. It must be something that you really enjoy doing, because you are the frontman, for a change.
Marc: "Yeah, it's nice to play these largely instrumental sets because instrumental guitar is the stuff I enjoy listening to the most. The likes of JOE SATRIANI, STEVE VAI, GREG HOWE and in general, fusion guitar music."
