Interview with Lindsay Arnold Of Loremaster! :D

An Interview with the all so awesome Lindsay Arnold of Loremaster and ex Seven Deadly Grins.
Brad Sysko Kidd
Lets start with some questions about Lindsay,  What got you into music?
playing music that is.
Lindsay Arnold
Honestly? Probably my crazy parents! Their love of heavy metal and the fact that my father was a touring musician influenced me greatly. I got a taste of it young and never looked back!
Brad Sysko Kidd
Sounds like an interesting upbringing to me  You have been Playing with Loremaster for a bit now , Do you have any plans for the future of the band!
Lindsay Arnold
Haha interesting indeed! Yeah I've been playing with Loremaster for about nine months now, I love folk metal so it's great fun. Right now we are on the hunt for a new vocalist, so any interested clean singers out there should contact us! Other than that we've just been working on new material and making plans for 2014.
Brad Sysko Kidd
What do you think about the status of the Calgary Music industry? The way things are and what would make it better?
Lindsay Arnold
I'm glad to see so many new bands! We seem to be in a phase right now where a lot of the older musicians are "moving on" or pursuing other endeavors, making way for an influx of much younger musicians and bands and things are just balancing out. I think it IS important for bands (especially younger bands) to learn right away that they don't NEED promoters to play shows or promote themselves. Don't get me wrong though, there are lots of awesome folks in the music scene here working hard, doing it right, really inspiring growth and those are the promoters that deserve our support. Too often I see bands getting totally screwed when they really don't need to be!
Brad Sysko Kidd
I was wondering about your recovery from your health issues and how it has effected your life and playing bass?
Anything you can say would help people know a little more about your struggle?
Lindsay Arnold
It's been an extremely long recovery so I'm just happy to be back playing again! Music has always been my life and after being unable to play for so long I have a lot of catching up to do! With a severe spinal injury comes a lot of nerve damage and injury so I had to relearn how to play from scratch! That's something I'm still working on really, and it's a long, slow road that can be very, very frustrating! But still, playing is always better than NOT playing and I'm just glad to be doing it again. People will just have to accept Lindsay the Stage Statue for a while longer!!
Brad Sysko Kidd
Promoters are helpful but some can be detrimental to their own cause . Or just greedy .  you know who you are if you read this! .. anyway . I ask everyone as you know because you are a great supporter of AlTCitY .. I have to ask what you would do in a zombie apocalypse ?
Lindsay Arnold
HAHA I'm totally prepared for the zombie apocalypse! Or any apocalypse for that matter.... !! A good isolated hideout with lots of guns and supplies. I don't wanna say too much in the event shit does go sideways and I get overrun by the unprepared haha. Seriously though, I think we all learnt from the floods this summer that disaster can strike at any time! Being prepared rules!
haha thanks a million dude! you rule!
Cheers! -BSK
