Why are you no longer a member of Iced Earth? What was it like working with Jon Schaffer? |

When I joined IE, it was what turned out to be the end of the touring cycle for "The Glorious Burden"; I had a great time working with Jon, Tim, and the rest of the guys. I was also excited about being part of all future IE plans as Jon and I had several conversations about the upcoming recordings and live shows. However, during the downtime between IE activities, I began recording and touring with Sebastian Bach. In order to make his deadlines, Jon proposed a schedule for me to record my drum tracks for the next IE CD.
My touring schedule with Sebastian conflicted with Jon's planned scheduling to record my drum tracks, so I needed to make a decision. Jon has gotten some bad press but I never had a problem working with him. Jon demands a certain professionalism from everyone he works with and if he feels you are not doing your job to the best of your abilities, he will hold it against you - plain and simple. It was a great experience playing with IE and working with Jon and I would have loved to be a part of the future of IE but that's the way things go. |
