January 31, 2012, 12 years ago
Mohsen Fayyazi from Metal Shock Finland recently conducted an interview with Steve Williams (POWER QUEST, ex-DRAGONHEART). An excerpt follows:
Q: Would you tell me what you and the band's plans are for 2012 and 2013? And when do you think you’ll start working on some new material?
A: "Well as I mentioned earlier, we have some shows with FREEDOM CALL and then PPM Festival after which we will look for a few summer festivals and start working on some new material. I’ve got a lot on with my new day job as well as I’m working for a blue chip organisation so things will be more quiet this year for PQ."
Q: Have you any plan to share the stage with HELLOWEEN or GAMMA RAY or STRATOVARIUS in near future as they are the best known of the leaders of melodic power metal? And I’d like to know if any of them have been influencial for you, let me know if there are other bands or musicians that may have influenced you too.
A: "I love all those bands, especially Helloween who I have been a fan of since 1985. We were lucky enough to tour with them back in 2006, which was a dream come true. I guess IRON MAIDEN, Helloween, DREAM THEATER, VAN HALEN and MARILLION are probably my biggest influences as, apart from DT, I grew up with all those bands."
