Segment 1 with Corners of Sanctuary Where did your band name come from? Where was the video for “Hail, Hail” recorded at? It looks to be the perfect background for that song.

If you could take an album that you absolutely love and erase it from your memory so that you can get that wow factor while hearing it again, what album would you pick? How did the song “Hold on to Christmas” come about? Segment 2 with Mick Michaels If there is an apocalyptic event that wipes out almost all of humanity and all but 1 song from every band in history, which of your songs should survive? When did you realize that you wanted to play guitar in a metal band? Is there a venue that you haven’t played yet, that you really want to perform in?
