Rock Kommander recently caught up with Annihilator founder / guitar legend Jeff Waters for an exclusive Q&A session. Check out Part 2 below:
"In this special Q&A session, legendary guitarist Jeff Waters (of Annihilator and American Kaos) responds directly to fan questions. He reflects on his past projects, shares insights on his upcoming trilogy album, and teases what’s next. Plus, hear how he’s bringing his music into the gaming world, starring as a playable character with his own game mode in Rock Kommander. It’s all about your questions, his stories, and the road ahead!"
When asked f he would ever do a G3 gig with Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, John Petrucci or Paul Gilbert, Waters gave a definitive answer:
"The simple answer is absolutely not. I could never stand up on the stage with those people - especially Paul Gilbert - because I'm not that kind of guitar player. I'm kind of a rhythm guitarist / songwriter who happens to play lead guitar. I'm not the cover-of-the-magazine lead guitar player. I write the songs, play the rhythms, and do the solo where we need to do the solo. I'm not at that level. I'm not a guitar player that can go on stage and jam with a band and just make things up. Those guys are geniuses at it. I have to know what I'm doing to play with another band."
