Minions! We did a 50+ minute interview with Mr. Snake of Voivod. In this interview, Snake discussed Covid-19, the new live album, his vocal influences, Voivod concept, DVOD 2 and much more! Right at the beginning Snake expressed his feelings towards the whole Corona virus pandemic and the way it influences him on a daily basis:
“I really try not to think about it but it’s obviously everywhere…It’s a bit scary, I have to admit…It’s dark a little bit but yeah, we have no other choice but to stay home and be focused I guess on different things we used to sometimes. So it’s a good thing in a sence… It’s a good thing for planet, that’s for sure. For nature, you know…”
When asked whether the coronavirus has a creative impact on him, he stated the following: “I’ve been creative but it’s always a matter of having to focus on something while you always have this thing in the back of your head you know… worries and stuff like that. It’s a bit confusing. It’s hard to focus on something for a while and not thinking about what’s happening. But yeah, me and the boys are in contact every day. We do stuff and exchange riffs and ideas. But it’s really bad that we cannot get together in a place to play and rehearse or anything. It’s completely crazy. It’s something that we’re not used to but we can cope with in a sence. That’s what we do in normal life, you know..We exchange ideas via internet. But once in a while we go in our rehearsal place and we expirience what we have in mind together. But now we cannot do it. It’s missing (laughs).”
Then, Snake talked about the new live album and a new music video: "I can’t wait to release it. You know, it’s live stuff, picking up from different places, different shows….It’s cool because it’s live. Live is live, there’s nothing you can do about it. Yeah, it’s the fun thing and you might have us something to release as a video soon so hang in there. Something really special but I cannot talk too much about it right now. We figured out to keep ourselves busy during this time.” He also shared his thoughts on the way the Corona virus is going to change the music industry: "I don’t know how long this is gonna be. It’s like… It could be in a long run and that is scary. Its’s scary for the performances, concerts, touring, everything that goes around it. The labels, booking agencies, everybody’s gonna suffer from it. Yeah touring… it’s one big source of revenue ‘cause at least you can sell merchandise. You have a lot of expences but you can make a little something there. I mean the whole structure of live concerts might change over the years or over a few months. Even the transportation would be maybe different from now on…I’m thinking about not only the bands but everybody that work around it. The whole structures of festivals, magazines and metal…whatever. It’s just really sad but I just want to keep hope you know
