How did you hook up with Ripper Owens?
Well this has something to do with exactly what happened with the recording. Because I had Doogie [White] in the band, and I wrote the songs, and the songs started getting more and more finished. The keyboard player came in and spent a couple of weeks on the keyboards. Then I started the lyrics for Be Careful What You Wish For and Live To Fight Another Day. I wrote them thinking that's who I want to have, I mean that's what I had in my head. So the songs were finished by the time Tim came in. I actually tried to do a couple songs with Doogie and it didn't work out. I said to Doogie in a cool way, 'look I'm going this way and this just isn't going to work out'. It's almost like casting for a movie. You need someone to take that role.

Sounds like a similar situation to another band Tim sang in...
