Whenever somebody says reaches out and says we want you to work with a band [bad word]  I mean rock band [bad word]  It's always hard to imagine like what culturally what the influences are.

That was cool about this, I think it's interesting to sit in the studio, and it's great to get a piece of music that you did not really sweat over that you not you know seek of hearing, cause usually when you do your own stuff you do not work on all high head patterns, every part of it is your own guitar and you know, you're not so influenced by anything else.

With this- you just get a piece of music and you get it as sort of a great painting and paint over it.

Track is great, you know, really good band, it's definitely as Eastern Europe flavor, it's not like the traditional cultural stuff is in there, but it is. There are many ways even how they broad up and how it goes in and how they interpret rock'n'roll, you still hear this flavor, you know, from that aspect of or from that region.
