Bill Sends in another Audio Diary
Bill phoned in from home in California with the latest in his 2005 Audio Diary series (the seventh). This new edition, totaling 24:50 in length has these highlighted points:
* - How it feels good to be back home
* - Feeling bad about the cancelled gigs.
* - How the cancelled gigs affect his playing, and how his age in general affects his playing.
* - Recollections of stories of a special hotel to the band in the past.
* - Some friends of his in other bands, including Velvet Revolver, Iron Maiden, & Slipknot.
* - Bill has no comment on the "bullshit rumours" regarding the Iron Maiden & Black Sabbath stuff that happened on the gig on the 20th.
* - Music he's been listening to lately, including an album he's really into, the new one from the Foo Fighters.
There is of course a lot more than that, so make sure and download the entry and check it out!
