_{Have any of you played in other bands?}

 _{I’m a French musician.}

_{Actual guitarist for “Les Sales Majestés”}

_{We are a French Punk Rock band.}

_{Active since 1988, “Les Sales Majestés” are known for their critics of the actual “system”.}

_{Their first and major influence is the English Punk Rock of the first generation, which they “imprinted” of a DIY attitude, in accordance with the ideas which they defend.}

_{They’ve always been fully independent and all of their albums are self produced.}

_{I’ve been playing with the band since 2015 and made two albums with them.}

_{2015: “Ni dieu, ni maître” (No god, no master)}

_{2017: “Droit dans le mur” (Straight into the wall)}

_{I do a lot of concerts and tours, right now, with “Les Sales Majestés”, in France, Belgium and Canada, with many other bands such as “The Toy dolls”, for example.}

_{We played the Hellfest 2015….}

_{We are preparing a new album for 2018.}

_{In the past, I also played with the “Portes Mentaux” (1999-2005). A band which have met an important public success.}

_{With songs such as “Elsa Fraulein” for example.}

_{I am also the guitarist of my own band: “Mister Noisy”!}

_{It is an instrumental project in which I can fully express myself with my guitar.}

_{My new album should come out in 2018.}

_{How is it that you started playing music?}

_{I was raised on the “New Wave Of British Heavy Metal”}

_{AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Saxon….}

_{This type of things!}

_{But also, the Exploited, Sex Pistols…}

_{I naturally evolved towards the guitar!}

_{As many others, I gave my first concert in college, in 1983!}

_{It marked the start of this adventure, which never ended!
What inspires you?}

_{I listen to everything, but I am mostly influenced by Rock music in the broad sense of the term.}

_{My personal “heros” are Lemmy Kilminster, Zakk Wilde, but also Tommy Emmanuel as I also play a lot of acoustique guitar.}

_{How have you developed since you started with the music?}

_{Just playing again and again!
I am an autodidact!}

_{What language do you sing in?}

_{With “Les Sales Majestés”, in French!}

_{With “Mister Noisy”, It’s instrumental music!}

_{The universal language!}

_{What was your latest gig? We just ended our last album’s tour, with “Les Sales Majestés” “Droit dans le mur”, in December 2017.}

_{What do you think about people downloading music instead of buying records now a days?}

_{I believe it’s the death of the musician’s profession.}

_{We still have concerts!}

_{That is what will make the difference!}

_{Do you have any role models or idols?}

_{Zakk Wylde! At the moment.}

_{Since Lemmy died!}

_{As he is an extraordinary guitarist!}

_{His solo albums, as well as those with his band “Black Label Society” are incredible!}

_{And he also wrote Ozzy Osbourne’s hit: “Mama, I’m Coming Home.}

_{Nonetheless, Motorhead is still the “the base” for me.}

_{Pure Rock’n Roll such as in the 50’s, with just a little bit more distortion!}

_{The only difference is that in the 50’s, music was more optimistic.}

_{It is the reflection of a carefree time!}

_{Why do you think that they exist?}

_{Because they are true!}

_{Honest in what they do!}

_{And with talent!}

_{One of my idols (whom I was lucky enough to have as friend), is Mickey Finn. Or Micky Finn. Of his real name: Michael Finn Waller, (Born on the 3}^rd _{of Mars 1947 in London – Died on the 1}^st _{of February 2013 in Paris)}

_{A guy from your place!}

_{A Londoner!}

_{He knew the start of Rock‘n Roll in London.}

_{https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Finn_(guitariste)}

_{Mickey Finn was an Irish guitarist, of whom the surname, homonym of his distant cousin, the late Mickey Finn (percussionist de T. Rex)}

_{Has repeatedly be confounded with the later.}

_{He played with Jimmy Page, Murray Head, Nino Ferrer and Jacques Higelin.}

_{He came across the whole planet!}

_{He even played with Lemmy!}

_{https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrJ9oeuN_9o}

_{A father, for me!}

_{A buddy!}

_{A friend!}

_{With him, I understood what the life of a musician was really about!}

_{A huge guitarist!}

_{Is it easier to find inspiration from older bands, or bands that are more active today?}

_{I try, primarily, to find inspiration inside myself!}

_{Old or new, if it’s good…}

_{I like many things!}

_{What have been your biggest obstacles?}

_{It is important to understand that France isn’t a “Rock’n Roll country!}

_{I am very lucky to be able to tour with “Les Sales Majestés”, which is a very well known band, here, in France and in Quebec, where we have already toured twice, in 2015 and 2017.}

_{We were expected over there since 20 years!}

_{With “Les Sales Majestés”, we don’t just make music!}

_{We militate!}

_{“Punk Not Dead”}

_{With my solo project, I am more axed on the music!}

_{It is more progressive!}

_{In both cases, we do everything ourselves.}

_{Without any help from the medias (Radios or TVs)…}

_{Only our reputation!}

_{And it works!}

_{On the other hand, this asks for a lot of work!}

_{A real implication!}

_{An engagement!}

_{The biggest issue stays money!}

_{A tour costs a lot. The studio sessions etc…..}

_{What advice would you give other bands or artists?}
