WARRANT Drummer Steven Sweet - "The Band Feels Stronger Than Ever"
June 2, 2008, 16 years ago
WARRANT drummer Steven Sweet conducted a Q&A; with the band's MySpace page recently. Here are a few excerpts from the chat:
Q: Warrant had played a lot of shows in the past two years. Now that you've taken some down time, are you restless to get back on the stage?
A: "Absolutely! After having just done our first 'public' performance on Rockline I can say we are all really anxious to keep going. The band feels new again and, in my opinion, stronger than even."
Q: Having been away from the band for a long period of time, what was the selling point for returning to the line-up in 2004?
A: "I've made it known that a friend of my wife's and mine who sang at our wedding was killed in an auto accident not too long after we were married. The tragedy of her passing so unexpectedly left me with the affirmation that you never know when your time might be up and to embrace each opportunity to live your life to the fullest. My having spent so much time away from the Warrant guys gave me the space to grow as a person and realize that everyone has to travel their own path to discovery. I had been presented with the idea of rejoining the group over the years, and decided that the time finally felt right to let go of past grievances and embrace the future. Knowing that you only go around once, I really feel like I've been given a second chance to re-connect with old friends and do what I am meant to do, which among other things, is to be a part of Warrant."
