JAG PANZER - "Where The Hell Is The Live Album?"
January 23, 2005, 19 years ago
As previously reported, JAG PANZER fans were invited to send questions to the band via their website for an online interview. One of the questions posed to guitarist Mark Briody:
Where the hell is the Jag Panzer live album? And can the fans help get one?
Briody: "Good question! That one needs to go to Century Media. We’ve been ready for a live album for three years. People keep asking for one. We have one in our contract, so I know that there will be one. But there are disagreements on the budget. The current budget we have been given is less then 1/20 of what Alive In Athens (ICED EARTH) costs. I realize that Iced Earth sell a lot more albums then we do, but you simply can’t do a live album for what they proposed. I don’t want to hook up a tape recorder to the live mixing console and say ‘Here’s our live album’. I’m no fan of bands that re-record everything in the studio, that isn’t really live. But it needs to be properly mixed and not sound like someone snuck in a tape recorder. I’m hoping that these issues can get resolved soon and we’ll record a live album in the near future."
