I thought some here might have interest in this new interview I did with guitarist Alex Skolnick. Though he is most widely known from Testament, for this interview we focused on his time with Savatage and Trans-Siberian Orchestra, as well as his entry into his jazz studies and his own Trio - and his love of Allan Holdsworth!:

Good stuff, Dan!
Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally
Thanks, Dan!
Great interview!
Cool interview. Loved the joke about Krebs.
Thanks everyone - glad you enjoyed! Alex is a very thoughtful and interesting person to talk with and it was great fun discussing his Savatage/TSO years, as well as his early (and recent) work with proggy band Stratospheerius.
If you ever have an opportunity to see him play with his Trio or with other artists (he collaborates often with Stu Hamm and Jane Getter frequently), please do. He actually has some West Coast dates coming up shortly:
Jan 18 - WA- Seattle - Triple Door
Jan 19 - OR - Eugene - HiFi Lounge
Jan 20 - CA- Redding, The Dip
Jan 22 - CA - Sacramento, Harlow´s
Jan 24 - CA - Oakland, Yoshi´s
