September 30, 2014, 10 years ago
Sixx:A.M. have revealed that their new album, Modern Vintage, and upcoming live dates will include the talents of drummer Jeff Fabb (Black Label Society, In This Moment).
In an interview with Legendary Rock Interviews, guitarist DJ Ashba discusses Jeff Fabb and the band's upcoming show on October 7th at the iHeart Theater in Burbank, California.
Q: Who will be playing drums for the live show on October 7th?
DJ: "Same guy who played drums on the Modern Vintage album. His name is Jeff Fabb. He is actually out with Black Label Society right now. He is an incredible drummer. It was a lot of fun to work with him and we were really happy to have him on the record. He agreed to come in and do the show with us which just makes sense."
Q: So, on the Modern Vintage album, Jeff Fabb plays drums on the entire album whereas on the previous albums, all the drums were programmed, correct?
DJ: "Yeah! Correct, correct. It was the first album where we actually felt it was important to capture that big album vibe we were going after. To bring in a live drummer, it really made a HUGE difference, you know, it gave the whole entire album and songs a new breath of fresh air which was really cool!"
