Living Colour frontman Corey Glover was recently interviewed about the band's upcoming CD, The Chair in the Doorway, due Sept 15 from Megaforce Records. Here is an excerpt or two:

On the very familiar chord progression of first single "Behind the Sun"

I hear the U2 sort of thing going on [in 'Behind the Sun']. I was surfing on the internet and there's this thing called [The Axis of Awesome's] 4 Chords. You could name 65 songs with that same chord progression [as 'Behind the Sun'] completely by accident. There's a U2 song, there's a Journey song there, there's a Beatles song, there's a couple of tunes that have the same chord progression and it's completely accidental.

On re-recording "Cult of Personality" for 2007's Guitar Hero III: Legend of Rock

We recorded it and sent it to [Vivid producer] Ed Stasium, which is kind of why it sounds so similar [to the original]. I play the game sometimes and it's weird to hear it because I'm amazed that I still sound the same. What's very different about it is the guitar solo that's actually harder to play than the original!

On the band's North American tour, which launches Sept. 1 in Alexandria, VA

We haven't played in the States in a very long time. Let's face it, our audience is older. And those people who are coming to this for the first time are going to be very different than they were the last time we played there. So we're going to have do a real balancing act as to what people remember and what new stuff they want to hear in re-introducing ourselves to the audience.

We're primarily a live band. A recording is just a moment in time. If you want to see how it evolved and where it went and where it is going, come see us live. And then go home, listen to the record and hear how it's changed. And know that we're going to come back and it's going to change from there. -metalmixtape.com
