On the new project
Phil: "It's called BPMD; so it's Bobby Blitz (vocals), Mike Portnoy (drums), Mark Menghi (bass) and Phil Demmel, BPMD. So, it's all cover tunes from the American bands in the '70s, it's called American Made. Like I said, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, James Gang, Aerosmith, Grand Funk Railroad, all these cover tunes that we kind of modernized and not really thrashed them up. We made kind-of metal versions of them and we think we found a label home and looking to put the record out here within probably at the end of the first quarter, maybe beginning of the second quarter, it depends, it's all up the in the air right now."
