We caught up with Sam at the Montclair, NJ show to ask him some questions

CO: First thing, the kit change for this tour...

Sam: Yea, it's a new Pearl kit.

CO: Did you and Dean do the backing vocals on the new album?

Sam: We did. A couple of different random parts that are a little hard to hear. But "Face To The Floor" there's gang vocals on there from all three of us.

CO: Are we going to hear any more songs with anger towards the music industry?

Sam: Uhhh, I don't think so, no. Our new label is really good, really supportive. We're actually really happy with them.

CO: I heard from dean that he did the drums in the song "Envy"

Sam: Yea, he did. He just played it and was like "yea, I really wanna play this [song for the album]"

CO: Will Chevelle ever play Moda again?

Sam: Oh, I mean, anything is possible. It would be cool to do a DVD of weird stuff...well not really weird stuff but songs [which aren't played often].

CO: Do you have a particular album that's your favorite?

Sam: Not really, it's usually whatever we're working on now. [talking about the new album] You'll have to get used to it. The choruses are huge, the melodies are huge.

CO: [Referring to the 10 year Anniversary show in Chicago] That's probably the only time you'll ever play "This Circus" live?

Sam: No! We really love to play it. I love that song, it's so much fun to play.

CO: Do you think you will ever pick up another guitarist?

Sam: Nahh

CO: Is this your last album on Epic?

Sam: No, there will be one more after this one with Epic.

CO: Once the contract is up will you continue to release music independently?

Sam: Yea.

CO: On the white board of songs you put out a while ago, you had one song tentatively called "Meddler" or something? It was almost 168 beats per minute...that's almost thrash metal right there...

Sam: A lot of the times I double time stuff. When I first started using a click i didn't use it in my ears, I just used the light. So, it's actually not fast.

CO: [On the album being 11 tracks]

Sam: Well, that's what we get paid to do...11 songs. most bands have that where they get paid to do a certain amount of songs and anything more they aren't paid for.

CO: If you ever decide to do another cover you should do "Wear It So Well" by Far.

Sam: Oh, that's a great song. I love Far. Years ago I saw their live show at the Metro...it was so good. That's a great idea.

CO: Last question. I know you like to ride motorcycles and I saw you the other day [in an uploaded picture] with Billy Joel? I heard he is a big motorcycle enthusiast.

Sam: He's an avid motorcyclist..a lot of vintage stuff, 70's and 60's. He has some amazing bikes. He runs a place called "20th Century Cycles" out in Long Island. My management set it up so that I could go and see the place and he was there.He was just a great guy.
