Interview with Josh of SKYMIR!!

A little past due but here is the interview with Josh from Skymir !!!!
Actually I just freed up some time tonight .. so yeah I am down for sure!
Josh Bell-Surette
Sweet, sounds great !
Brad Sysko Kidd
Right on! .. well as usual I like to have a smoke and crack a brew before I put together some questions .. sound good?
Josh Bell-Surette
That's fucking awesome hahaha
Brad Sysko Kidd
hahaha k back! wanna get this goin? My hands are freezin so don't mind my slow typing
Josh Bell-Surette
Yeah for sure man !
Brad Sysko Kidd
K first up is , How did you get into playing music and what was your biggest influence?
Josh Bell-Surette
The funny thing is is I start really wanting to play guitar through guitar hero, I got really good at it and had been into metal for a while at that point, I think my biggest influence has got to be pretty hard to nail on the head but megadeth and the faceless have got to be up there for sure.
Brad Sysko Kidd
Haha I still have pretty much every guitar hero for ps2 but my cords are missing  .. Some people see it as a gateway and some see it as a poser way to learn but I believe it can be a great gateway! .. What was your scariest time playing a show?
Josh Bell-Surette
Probably our last show we just played, we opened up for gypsy hawk, trollfest and alestorm, it was very nerve racking watching professional musician set up do their sound check and then having five minutes to set up and just start playing basically as people are flooding in, and playing in front of some great bands
Brad Sysko Kidd
Great bands for sure!! ..That would be a bit intimidating but you get to learn more and more every show you play  ..
What would be the best place for you to ever play outside of this city?
Josh Bell-Surette
I'd really love to go and play in Quebec I heard it's an awesome place and their music seen especially metal is just wicked
Brad Sysko Kidd
You know of any venue out there that you may have heard of for the people who may read this and look to tour that way?
Josh Bell-Surette
I have no clue about the venues over there to be honest but if someone who reads this can gets into one do it up !
Brad Sysko Kidd
They can comment if they know one  What would you consider your passion for your future in music ?
Josh Bell-Surette
I am very passionate about lots of different types of music not just metal, I've always wanted to do my own solo project, probably something progressive in nature, but I still am very passionate about what we do in Skymir, we can't really be label at least that's were I stand, we each bring some sort of different influence and we all contribute to the music itself,
Brad Sysko Kidd
Well to the last question ... What would you do if the worlds lights shut out and the only weapon you had was a truck and some ammo enough to last you 2 weeks with no food?
Josh Bell-Surette
I would find myself a camp of weak people and drive my truck right through it firing at all of them, two weeks of ammo is quite a bit so it's probably worth the food for it anyways
Brad Sysko Kidd
Probably one of the darkest of answers I have gotten .. Fuckit .. what would you do in a Zombie Apocalypse??
Josh Bell-Surette
Hey you gotta do what ya gotta do, I would head over to one of my buddy's houses that near by and pick up some guns then I'd probably wanna get out of the city as fast as I could so find a big truck some I could mow people off the road with that can carry the people I need, get into the mountains up high so it's hard for the zombies to reach you, hard for them to get to the game you need to survive if your up that high anyways, or I could go the other way and just kill and take everything from everyone, I watch to much walking dead and zombies
Brad Sysko Kidd
Fuckin eh dude! Thanks for the interview dude!!!
No problem at all thank you! Cheers
