I spoke with Chris the other day and he has agreed to do an interview in September. I'm no journalist but I thought it would be a good chance for the fans that aren't able to catch a show to ask questions they may have.
We have about a month to get ready. I'll compile a list of the questions you all have and ask as many as time permits. The interview will be posted here once I get it typed up.
Post your questions here, or if you prefer you can send me a PM.
Thanks for your help and your interest in the band and the forum.
EDIT: The interview took place Sept. 3 and has been posted here in another thread. Thank You.

Q: At what point did it become clear to you that you had become known as a "Guitar-legend"?
Was there a single event or revelation by which you realized that there was a certain legendary status attached to the name "Chris Duarte" on a worldwide level?

Q : Most of your concerts are in US. Just ocassionally in Europe. It is a problem of management? What do you feel about management in modern music. Sometimes it seems more important than music itself. Is it right?

Q : When in studio - you do not use any other instruments - like piano, synths... Is it because you want to stay as close to live performance as possible? Or it is a part of your vision, your attitude to the music? Or you do not like any keyboards? ;D

Congrats on the interview!! Good luck.. I'd ask: While the last album had some old tracks finally make it to studio recordings (Lets Have A Party...was played in mid-90's a lot)...are there any plans to ever record songs like Monkey Food, Pop song, Crash (and the others I've surely forgotten)? Those songs need to be recorded!!!!!!!!!  |

Q - How did your relationship with Ted Nugent begin? Who had the idea for the Texas tour you guys did in 1994? Any funny stories from those gigs?

Question from Ted Nugent........
"Chris, do you have the proper permits for that thing?"

In the past, you'd stated that it was your intention to play all of the songs that appear on your records live, at one time or another. Can we eventually expect the same with all of the songs from "VANTAGE POINT"? They deserve the live treatment IMHO.

Is there anything planned in the future as far as The DBS project? Will there be more shows? CD's?

I have a few questions:
1st, ty Chris for taking the time at shows with your fans. I always leave a show feeling empowered for days.
1) Chris, on "Love is greater than me" (possibly my alltime favorite recording form BTW) you are pictured playing a Les Paul. I saw you play a Jackson once in Springfield Mass. On many of your songs on "Blue Velocity" it sounds like at least the rythym track is recorded with a humbucker equipt guitar. Is this the case, and if so what do you use?
2) do you ever dabble in open tunings? I always have a guitar strung up in open G, expanding on the Kieth Richards chord voicings. If you have, what open tunings do you like?
3) You are possibly the only modern strat blues guitarist that doesn't use a wah pedal. I've always wondered why? Or is that why, because everyone else does.
4) do you hunt with Uncle Ted?
5)My 2 favorite guitar players are you and Ted Nugent. Who are your favorite 2 players?
6) you have used GHS 11 to 50's forever I beleive. Do they endorse you? If not, they should!
thank you again for taking the time for all us fans!

I was working on some original lyrics for a song, I was on my way to work, and all of a sudden C-Butt Rock came on, and It was like the guitar was saying the same words, I just want to know if Chris would be interested, Thanks, Would like to know either way, Tom Burton, at zzmississippi@yahoo.com, 601-383-4891
