Metal-Rules.com's Arto Lehtinen has issued an interview with bass legend Steve DiGiorgio (SADUS, DEATH, TESTAMENT). The following is an excerpt:
Q: How do you find all your time from your family and your personal life – you have a day job - how are you able to share your time and all this between these bands because you're – ok, don't kill me – you're a band whore!
A: "Yeah, I know, I know, I've heard that since the early days so I'm used to it but, you know, people they can say that, but from my point of view, I'm keeping busy. I'm doing what I like to do and I like to play music, and the band I guess you'd call my main band, Sadus, we don't stay busy all the time so for me it kind of drives me crazy that I cant play, you know. I cant play Sadus by myself - I need the band and if they're not ready to do something I need to keep busy, I can't sit still so when another musician or another different band or someone gives me an opportunity to come and play I'm going to jump on the opportunity because that's, that's what I like to do. And I'm happy doing it, if it's a band slut or a band whore, or whatever you want to call it, I don't care because I'm a happy prostitute! Haha!
Q: I was about to say that you're hungry for music.
A: "Yeah, it's just... you know, like you mentioned, you know, I have a full time job, I got kids, you know, I'm paying for a house and I got all that stuff and I'm trying my best to make my way in life just like you do, just like everyone else does, everyone - you know. But, you realize at a certain point if you're good at something you need to do that, that way it kind of keeps your sanity. You know, and I've just realized that I enjoy playing music and people call me all the time so I realized that this where I belong. This is what I'm going to do, and it's a juggle, you know, between everything in life you really have to just fight the schedule all the time!"
