Alex Lifeson: Metal Express Radio interview


In a few weeks’ time your latest album Clockwork Angels will be released. Are you looking forward to finally getting it out?
Yeah, it`s been a long project. We released a couple of songs before the last tour and that`s the first time that we`ve done something like that where we`ve recorded a couple of songs from a record that hasn`t been released yet. It was kind of fun to get those songs out, to work them and play them and have a peak into what the project was going to be. It was great for getting us back into writing which we did last fall where we got into the bulk of the writing and where the whole story started to come together. That`s where we got a sense of where the album was going.
You once said that the recording of Moving Pictures was a difficult process as was Hemispheres. How do you feel about Clockwork Angels? Has this been a fairly smooth record to make?
It was. The only funny thing about it was that it was so spread out. We did little spurts here and there but once we got into the meat of it, it was really a joy to make. We had a great time and had a lot of fun making it and it was very vibrant in the studio. It was great working with Nick Raskulinecz. He is such a music lover, so enthusiastic. He`s such a great presence to be around in the studio. more http://www.metalexpressradio.com/menu.php?main=interviews&id=991
