INTERVIEW: Eddie Jackson of Queensrÿche – Oct 30 2001 – Live Evolution exclusive phone chat [AUDIO]

I conducted this interview with Eddie Jackson of Queensryche in October of 2001.  My first interview ever.  Eddie gave me over an hour of his time, and told me afterwards it was a lot of fun!  The interview was later compressed into an article for Global Bass magazine.  I am re-posting it here with the audio now available on YouTube, as well as Soundcloud and a full text transcription (links below).

We recorded direct from the telephone to a cassette deck.  It was a great in-depth chat about the band at the time, lineup changes, and the Live Evolution CD that they were currently promoting.

Topics discussed:

  • The live album and the idea of “suites”
  • Putting together a setlist
  • Bass tones
  • Influences
  • Solo projects
  • Promised Land
  • Hear in the Now Frontier

…and much more.
