Here’s a brand new August 2009 interview with Stryper guitarist Oz Fox.  Stryper’s got a new CD out called “Murder By Pride,” which is a fine return to the hard edged, melodic, vocal harmony stuff that we’ve grown to love from the guys (with plenty of Oz’s trademark harmony guitar lines).  Oz talks here about the ideas behind the record, as well as writing and recording the disc.  He also gives his thoughts on what it’s been like since Stryper got back together a few years back.  2009 marks Stryper’s 25th anniversary, and the current tour will see bassist Tim Gaines back in the fold.  I talk a bit with Oz about the band reaching the 25 year mark.  Oz also opens up about his faith getting him through some tough times in the music business.  Stryper’s currently on the road supporting “Murder By Pride,” so make sure you check out the band’s website at www.stryper.com for a full listing of live dates.  Make sure to grab a copy of the new record as well – it’s classic Stryper with a bit more edge.  Thanks to Oz for the chat, it was great talking with him.

“NEW BLOODGOOD CD BEGINS: Steve Smith has been retained to engineer the band’s new project slated to begin in June 2009.”

In the past Oz has talked about how he was working on a demo with Bloodgood (he is in the band) so I don’t see any reason why he would be on this project!

Great Pictures!

The guest line up is an impressive one with Neal Schon (JOURNEY), Oz Fox (STRYPER), Howie Simon (JEFF SCOTT SOTO, ALCATRAZZ), Bryan Beller (STEVE VAI, DETHKLOK), Jon Finn (JON FINN GROUP), Ronnie Dee (THE BLACK HONKEYS, GRAVY), Jim Casey (Hartke’s Greatest Unsigned Bassist), Jeff Thal (BUMBLEFOOT) and Mike Catone. Any fan of Satriani, Vai, Paul Gilbert, John Petrucci or any of the popular melodic shredders will definitely get a thrill out of this release.

Accompanying the CD is a DVD with excluded tracks, alternate mixes, trailers, music video and access to exclusive online material. Tons of new goodies on the web link, but you need the DVD to get there.
