HOST EMC Wasp: Q: Is the Col. Parker band gonna tour on its own?

do at radio and see if there are any good
GilbySwag: tours that we can hook up with.
GilbySwag: /ga
HOST EMC Wasp: Q: Who's the best guitarist you've ever been in a band with?
GilbySwag: That's a hard one; of all the other guitar players that I have
been in bands with, they are all
GilbySwag: amazing guitar players, proably the one that I have learned the
most from was Joe Dog.
GilbySwag: /ga
HOST EMC Wasp: Q: what do think about the direction music has gone in the
past 12 years?
GilbySwag: I think that it is healthy that music changes but the rock music
that has been popular the past few years
GilbySwag: is not for me. I find Britney Spears more appealing.

HOST EMC Wasp: Q: Ever consider taking to the road and doing shows with

HOST EMC Wasp: Q: Hey Gilby! How far fetched would it be to see Col. Parker

HOST EMC Wasp: Q: Gilby, my fave song by you is "Cure Me Or Kill Me"....what

GilbySwag: Cure Me or Kill Me was written at the period when I broke my wrist
in Guns N Roses and I was

me or kill me and he said that that would be
GilbySwag: a great tattoo and I said that it would be a great song.
GilbySwag: /ga
