BRUCE DICKINSON/HALFORD Guitarist ROY Z Shredding The Axe; Video Available

June 13, 2008

FPE-TV has posted video footage of guitarist/producer Roy Z (HALFORD, BRUCE DICKINSON, JUDAS PRIEST, SEBASTIAN BACH) shredding his Flying V axe. Watch the two-and-a-half-minute clip below.

Asked in a 2005 interview with L.A. Weekly what he picked up from playing live with HALFORD, Roy said. "It was a good experience, because later on I was able to use that information I got from playing live. The things I saw that got the crowd reaction, I was able to transform into songs that I knew would work in front of a crowd certain chord structures with melodies crescendoing at the right time, those little things that you just dont pick up on listening to a record or even watching a band live. "

On the topic of whether anything about PRIEST surprised him, Roy said, "I was really blown away by the chemistry that they have. To be around that was like, 'So this is it, this is what other bands are missing.' And the tolerance I think very few American bands have that. The British have a way of speaking their mind without totally going overboard like they do here. Theyre very civilized in telling each other off.'
