Lillian
Axe formed in 1983 but the average MTV viewer didn't become familiar with
the band until the video for "Dream Of A Lifetime" from the 1988
self-titled debut hit the airwaves. Lillian
Axe has weathered many storms in its career - label changes, lineup
changes (only original guitarist Steve Blaze remains), and music scenes
changes have all been part of the mix. Despite that, Steve Blaze
decided to keep grinding the axe and Lillian Axe has recently released a
new studio album, entitled Waters Rising, that's the logical
follow-up to 1993's Psychoschizophrenia. In the
following interview, Metal Dreams mouth, Dirt, chatted with Mr. Blaze
about Waters Rising, their current tour, obsessive hand
washing, the evils of retail chains, and much more.
