EPICA: New Video Interview With SIMONE SIMONS Available

December 17, 2008

Radio Metal conducted an interview with frontwoman Simone Simons of the Dutch symphonic metallers EPICA on November 11, 2008 in Lyon, France. Watch the chat in two parts below.

In a recent interview with Metalist Magazine, Simons was asked how much of an impact her sex-symbol status has had on the band's popularity. "Well... First of all, the most important is the sound of the band, because beauty will fade one day, and I hope my voice won't," she laughed. "But yeah, you have two aspects of the band — the music (the CDs) and then the live side of it (the show),and part of the show is also that it has to look nice, so I take good care of myself, I make sure that the fans have something to look at during the show. I love to design clothes, to shop, put makeup, and do my hair — all that stuff I really like (well, I'm a woman so I guess all women like that). It's a compliment that I have good looks, but there are some people who value that more than the music. For me, it's important that they would like the music and not see me as some sex symbol or something, because I have more than that, I also have a brain! [Laughs]... I don't have just tits and an ass... [Laughs]...
