| You know I've been on a bit of a Rivera kick in the last few weeks.Well can't say it's a kick as I've only found out about him in the last year or so.(I know I know) My question is this.Why can't a man this talented not stick with a band? I mean he's already out of Seven Witches again. I'm currently listening to a live recording of him with Malice and I hope he is going to record a album with them and maybe stick around. Are there rumours of him being hard to work/deal with? |

And you think playing for Malice bring in more cash than playing for Seven Witches?  |
I have no idea. Nostalgia pays more sometimes. _________________ "Happy people have no stories" —Therapy? Shock Totem | The Eyesore Times | Getcha Rocks Off |

| James is a great friend of mine, and as someone said earlier about making a living is true. He has his baby Helstar, but he also does many other bands and projects for money. He's a hired gun for a lot of bands. |

| Gotta have allota irons in the fires these days to make a buck I suppose. If he could make a living off of one band, he probably would. But if you make a nickel in each band, and you play in 20 bands, you can SuperSize that value meal at the end of the day.

| I was listening to Malice's "In The Beginning" today, and I could really hear how James is a good fit for them! _________________  |

| Again, I think the VICIOUS RUMORS/LAST EMPIRE guy was stylistically a much better fit.

| Malice just inked a deal with SPV for an early 2012 release for their new album. James will be on vocals. |

| How will it sound different than a SEVEN WITCHES or VICIOUS RUMORS album? |

Malice is more classic metal, wheras Vicious Rumors and Seven Witched are more of the traditional power metal variety. Malice is way more melodic also._________________ |

| I know how they used to sound different, but with the same singer and so many bands sounding alike production-wise I think they are losing their distinctiveness.
