Interview with Tanner Riedel of Magesty!

Magestry Band member and I chat about the band! Check it out !

BSK-I was just going over some of your tunes .. you down for the interview?

Tanner-Yes sir.

BSK-Alright let's get this fucker going!

Tanner-Sounds good!

BSK-Firstly I want to comment you on the video for Jack in the bottle ! ..
I have an idea as to what provoked that song/video but can you tell the readers a bit more about it?

Tanner-For sure! Yeah, it's pretty obvious what's it's about haha! I've always had an affinity for JD... fucking LOVE the stuff! It was written about a few outings I had while drinking it.
I know that stuff and I do not get along lol .. Any stories about those night you are willing to share?

Yeah, the lyric 'seeking my speech and destroying my words' tells the story of me, quite inebriated on Jack, lying on my back, ripping up Metallica's 'Seek & Destroy'! According to a friend the next day, I was hardly able to speak, but I could play the song just fine haha!

BSK-LOL that is rad! ... What is the future of the band? I know you have some wicked ideas!

Tanner-Our plans for the future are to simply keep playing as much as we can so that we can get our sound out there. As do a lot of bands, we have faced some adversity. Our drummer, Mike, is currently attending Berkeley college of music in Boston, and Alem, our singer, will be headed home to India for a couple of months over the holidays. But early in the new year, when everyone has returned, we will be hitting the stage hard and most likely be recording an EP!

BSK-Sounds like a great amount going on with you guys .. Plus Berkeley is a great institution for music   .. What is your favorite band/ artist of all time?


Tanner-Yes, we are all proud of Mike! And naturally, his being there is only going to leave us with a fucking stellar drummer! Hahaha! As for my favorite band, it has always been Led Zeppelin! They just ROCK!

BSK-Alright it is speed round time  .1 what is the best breakfast you have had?

Tanner-Cold pizza and beer.

BSK-Nice!.. What is the best instrument you have wanted/ played?

Tanner-Gibson Les Paul... I have an Epiphone now, but it's just not the same haha!

BSK-Redheads, Blond, Black or brown .. how do you like your ladies?

Tanner-I will tell you I like any of them, but if you ask the other guys they will immediately tell you, "blond"... haha!

I guess I do kind of favor the blonds!

BSK-Hahaha .. I am a sucker for the red myself but not very picky lol .. Last question and my favorite because, well it is my favorite .. What would you do in a zombie Apocalypse?

Tanner-Go to the Winchester! Hahaha!

BSK-Hahahaha fuckin great answer!

BSK-Thanks for chattin with me dude! We will be in touch for sure!

Tanner-Sounds good! Thank-you!


BSK-no problem man thank you!  Cheers brotha!
