Powerplay 197 May 2017
INTERVIEWS & FEATURES
It’s the one we’ve all been waiting for... Kiss land in the UK in May to blow our eager little British rock socks off. “I’ve got to spit fire, wear eight inch platform heels and fifty pounds of armour, fly through the air and risk my life every show,” Gene Simmons told Powerplay. Going that extra mile is all for the fans and we hope it is always going to be like that until the very last show we play.” We can’t wait! Jacoby Shaddix shares the emotional highs and lows on the latest Papa Roach album, we talk about serious matters with Motionless In White, and Blaze Bayley tell us about the dark second part of his sci-fi trilogy, plus we go on the road with rapidly rising newcomers Stone Broken. There are also interviews with Harem Scarem, Avatarium, Warrant, Pyramaze, Dream Evil, Kobra And The Lotus, Night Demon, Liv Sin, Bai Bang, Lonely Robot, Night Flight Orchestra, Vandroya, Helker, Vicinity, Corroded, Prime Creation, and Reptil.
