Q. What is the biggest day to day challenge a person faces being a full time musician?
It's probably getting enough sleep while touring.

Q. What is your favorite Micheal Jackson song ?
Does "ABC" from The Jackson 5 count? Great bass line in that.

Q. Whats your favorite way to unwind?
Being anywhere or doing something that is inspiring enough to write a song from it.

Q. Do you hold hands..??
Sure.

Q. Your last music download?
"Funeral For A Friend" By Elton John.

Q. What passion do you have in your life that might surprise others?
Hmmm...I can't think of anything that's too surprising.
I'm fascinated with alternative energies like solar, wind, etc..
I'd like to live "off the grid" one day (a totally self-sustaining house).

Q. What's one of your guilty pleasures?
I love fresh, warm bread dipped in olive oil, ground pepper and chopped parsley.
But that's not so guilty.

Q. Do you sing under the shower?
No.

Q.Boxers or Briefs ?
Boxer Briefs.

Q. What was the last thing you prayed for?
Strength.

Q.What does your hair smell like..?
Hair gel and stage fog.

Q. What was your last splurge?
I bought a bass at a music shop in Cologne, Germany
because I liked the color of it: dark brown stain.

Q. Its no secret your're working on your 2nd solo release ?
How's that going?
Any chance we may hold it in our hands in 2010?
First of all, Thanks to everyone who has asked about it for being so patient!
It's going very slow since I'm often traveling but it's going!
This year, I've finally got other musicians involved to help me along.
Up until then, I've been doing everything myself.
I don't want to make any promises about a release in 2010.
I guess that depends on how much touring I will (or won't) be doing.
But it really does feel very close to being finished.

Q. December 13, 2008 Doro celebrated 25 years in rock at the ISC dome in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Where will you be for Doro's 35th anniversary ?
It's hard to say where I'll be nine years from now or even a year from now.
Maybe I'll be able to better answer that question in 8 and a half years!

Q. What reality show would you consider auditioning for ?
I don't watch much tv so I'm not too aware of reality shows, Sorry!

Q. Tell us the most exotic meal you ordered during the Doro bands visit to China?
Ha! Pizza. Well, I guess for China, that's exotic.
We were there for 9 days on our last trip.
I wasn't too adventurous with food.
We had a couple of dim sum vegetarian meals that included
some dishes that I was unfamiliar with. Mostly, I stayed with foods that I knew.

Q.Stranded on a desert island with only 3 things... What are they..?
A fully stocked recording studio, Wifi and the woman of my dreams.
