Revolvermag.com has posted a new interview with Fu Manchu frontman Scott Hill, where he talks about enlisting Alex Lifeson on their latest album
Clone of the Universe, set for release on Feb. 9.
"Our manager is friends with his manager, and they were talking.
Without asking us, our manager was like, "Hey, would Alex want to play
on their new record?" His manager asked him and got back to our manager,
like, "Oh yeah, he totally will. Send him a song!" When he told us, we
were all like, "Holy shit!" We immediately reverted back to the Rush
fans we were in seventh grade! [Laughs] So we sent him the
four-track, which was a little lower than normal demo quality and he was
like, "This is great. What do you want me to do on it?" We were like,
"Holy shit, he's asking us?!? Dude, do whatever you want, wherever you want! So we got in the studio and recorded the song, and then we sent it to
him in Canada; he sent us back a bunch of stuff, and it all just
sounded insane. He was like, "Use whatever you want," so we picked this
one section of stuff that he did; it's in the first part where the band
drops out — he's playing a really effected guitar riff along with the
bass and drums, and then the bass and drums drop out. He's doing stuff
with a bunch of different effects, all these sci-fi sounds and pick
slides, and we were just flipping out listening to it. We still can't
believe it! [Laughs]"
