Chris Callaway from Westword.com spoke with STRYPER guitarist Oz Fox recently about a number of topics. A few excerpts from the chat follow:

Westword.com: How did the relationship with Tom Scholz from BOSTON and the band come about?

Fox: "That basically started off because Mike had written some nice words about Brad Delp after he passed away. We knew the website designer for Boston, and so this guy asked Mike to do that and I guess Tom and his wife, Kim, read what Michael had said and they loved what he said. They thought it was very, very nice and they asked him to be part of the tribute to Brad, and they did a tribute concert in Boston, and they added him, Mike, as one of the singers of the night.

They liked him so much that they decided to take him on the road. He did the whole Boston tour, and that did quite well. So, as far as that goes, in the future, he will probably continue to perform with Boston if they tour again, which I'm sure they will. There's plans that Boston will be doing another album soon and he probably be a part of that as well. So, he's doing good with that. He's doing very well."

Westword.com: What led to recording "Peace of Mind"?

Fox: "Well, actually, that was something that was brought up and in the works before the whole Boston thing came on, before Brad Delp passed away. I think, Mike, in his heart, thought that that song would be a good one to do, and it had good lyrics to it, really had the flavors of what we were looking for, for a cover song on this album. It worked out really nice, but then it just so happened that the other stuff happened later. Coincidence, you know."
