Hey Lestat, just curious… the song Sahara, by Nightwish. Any chance it’s actually one of yours? Because I stg it sounds so much like it’s about Marius and Akasha that it gives me chills, and I can’t help but laugh at the thought that maybe you let Nightwish record it so that you could sneak one more song past the rest of the coven. ;P

♛It is a good song and good ear, anonymous person! I won’t confirm or deny *smiles* That’s one of my little secrets… I do collaborate with musicians, but under pseudonyms. If they knew they were working with the famous Rock Superstar Vampire Lestat, they might hold back creatively, or get all overly obsequious, or both, and I wouldn’t want that. So stifling.

The coven does not, generally, support my original musical compositions, probably because they are envious of my incredible talent with it. Especially with lyrics.

That’s their loss. I don’t bring them along to the recording studio anymore. 

I mean sure, they’ll ask me to play Chopin or Haydn or whatever at gatherings, they know I can’t refuse. So I’ll throw in some improvisation until they catch on and beg me to go back to the music as written. 

Hey, Lestat: Have you ever considered recording music again?

♛Yes in fact I have more than considered it; and I may or may not be in progress on a new album. I’ve been doing time in a remote location with a little band, doing reworked covers of 80′s and 90′s music. So the new material will have that flavor.
