As previously reported, Therion vocalist Lori Lewis participated in a live chat on Saturday, June 24th. Winners of the "Interview With Lori Lewis" event had the chance to participate in a live chat with as part of their prize. Excerpts from the chat are available below:

-- Lewis on herself as a musical teacher: "I'm pretty demanding, especially if a student shows interest or shows/happens to be promising. But I can also be pretty easygoing. I do find I'm rather demanding, but I try to interest my students in the learning process, rather than just throw music at them and make them learn it. I believe a student of music has to enjoy what he or she does, on a fundamental level, or they'll usually end up quitting."
-- On the popularity of symphonic metal: "If I knew how to make it more popular, I'd be certainly doing whatever I could to get that to happen. I think it is because of the style. It's not to everyone's taste. I hail from the US, where this kind of music is almost unheard of. It's a shame, because the fabric of music making is so much richer when you have a larger palette from which to choose. And to be really boring, rock is a sub-genre of pop music. Metal is a subgenre of rock, symphonic metal is a subgenre of metal... it narrows the proverbial listening field, you might say. Though we don't do it for popularity reasons. I've never done music because people might like it; i'm a bit more selfish and do what I love."
-- On NIGHTWISH: "I think their compositions are pretty amazing, if that's what you want to know. And I think Nightwish has cornered the market on creating songs that sound 'magical,' for lack of a better English word."
