WWIII frontman Mandy Lion has issued the following Q&A;, featuring questions submitted to him by the fans:

Q: I remember you giving away free music before anyone else did it. Does it bother you that other artists are doing this now too? Are you still giving away free music? If so how can I get some?

ML: "I am absolutely delighted that other artists are following. The more we give back to the fans the better in my opinion. Bleeding the fans dry and taking as much from them as possible will hopefully soon be a thing of the past. As to your question about whether or not I am still giving away free music...? Yes, I am. The way it works is that you send me an E-mail address other than the one you have on MySpace and I will send you a bunch of songs to that addy. I think that a fan should have access to my music whether they have money or not.

Q: Are you still getting attacked for allowing your fans to have the music for free?

ML: "Yes, I get everything from people telling me I am stupid for giving away free shit to actual threats because some people believe that fans will take that kind of attitude for granted. I honestly don't care. If you are a fan and you are broke I will NOT keep my music from you. You guys have given me so much over the years. I will be damned if I won't return the favor. You guys are here for me and I am here for you..."

Q: What is your next CD going to sound like?

ML: "The new CD will be a little more melodic and sexy without losing the heavy aspect of what I do. I have always been attracted to groove oriented music and this next CD will reflect that in a huge way. Mickey James is such a talented writer and producer. I cannot say enough great things about this man. This might be the first time I am recording an album without having to argue over direction. I feel blessed to be able to work with such a gifted producer."

Q: I am having trouble finding your CD at my local CD shop. Where can I get it from?

ML: "If you absolutely cannot find it in your area you can always order it from my official website at www.mandyliononline.com.

Q: Are you angry at people like Rob Zombie, KORN and DISTURBED for imitating you in some ways?

ML: "I have been asked that for years. Personally I still think that what I do is different from what these guys are doing so my answer is no. Besides, in some ways it has helped me. When I started no one sounded anything like me and I was too different for some people to understand what I was doing at that time. With all these bands nowadays doing similar things my original sound seems to be much more acceptable for the general public."
