Roy Z Dinosaur Rock Guitar interview
In a recent interview with Dinosaur Rock Guitar, Roy Z spoke about his work with Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson:"Roy: Well, Bruce was different from Rob. They both run things is a really good way. With Rob, I try not to write any songs. (And when I'm helping) I do it more of an example kind of thing, and I'll say something like: I think you guys need something more like this. And a lot of times they'll say: Yeah That's it, dude! Lets do that. (laughs) A lot of times (with Halford) I'm not looking to insert myself as much, you know? I'm and educated fan — is what I am. I'm a fan of these guys. I grew up listening to them. I know the nooks and crannies of their styles. I've studied their styles. So I can say: Hey, you remember that thing you did on this song — well give me something like that. Where as another producer might just say: just do it again. And because I am a fan, and I'm educated in that way — in that I know what it is that I want, I just say: Do this. And they try it, and a lot of times it works. And when you're working with a Bruce or a Rob, it's so easy, because there's so much history to draw from. Just from being a fan. I can say: Dude, do that thing like you did on Ace's High. Or give me that lowwwwww (voice) like on Hallowed Be Thy Name. Or for Rob: Give me the scream like you did on whatever. You know? "
