LITA FORD: 'Heavier Than Ever, Nastier Than Ever, More Sexual Than Ever'

November 14, 2008

Jason Price of Live-Metal.net recently conducted an interview with '80s hard rock queen Lita Ford. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.

Live-Metal.net: You recently announced that you will be working on a new album for a 2009 release, what can you tell us about the project?

Lita: Heavier than ever, nastier than ever, more sexual than ever… Very personal lyrics — yeah me and Jim [husband Jim Gillette; ex-NITRO] are freaks! There will be no denying that when everyone hears the new songs!

Live-Metal.net: Would the new material be "Classic Lita" or more of a departure? Sonically, what can we expect?

Lita: Raunchy filth with a touch of class and a whole lotta ass!

Live-Metal.net: What do you hope that people come away with after listening to your music or seeing your live performance?

Lita: Listening to my music — I guess high on the list would be that chicks can rock a guitar! Also, with these songs I tried to show that you can be a mom, have a family, make dinner and still be a FREAK with your man when the kids go to sleep! Just because we're getting older and have real lives doesn't mean we have to get boring! Actually, we're getting freakier and freakier! When you hear the songs, you'll know what I'm talking about! The live show is all about forgetting everything and having fun. I want the audience to forget all their problems and responsibilities for an hour and just rock. Feel that intense energy that I did when I was 13. Hopefully I can cause the same kind of impact that my first concert had on me!

Live-Metal.net: Is their something that jumps out at you in your mind as the defining moment of your career?

Lita: A tidal wave coming at me and it's happening right now! Actually, I do kind of have something. Sometimes when I'm walking through an airport or having a bite to eat at a restaurant someone will come up to me and tell me how they started playing guitar because of me. Or a girl will start crying and tell me that my music really helped her through some rough times. I'm so glad to know that I've touched so many people's lives. It's a wonderful feeling to know you've helped people. People that you don't even know. I love that.
