During a recent appearance on the Percussion Discussion podcast, Jay Weinberg (Suicidal Tendencies, ex-Slipknot) discussed his upcoming solo project. According to him, the new material will be “true to the music [he loves].”
Weinberg said the following:
“I’ve been embarking on a recording project that’s been really near and dear to my heart for a long time, music I’ve been writing and working on since my early twenties. So I’ve been putting considerable time into that. It’s pretty much just me and also inviting friends who I’ve always wanted to collaborate with. It feels like there’s a wide diverse maybe sonic palette that I’m working with, but it all kind of comes from my background in music. It’s all stuff that I feel is true to the music that I love, but it’s kind of a little bit more varied than, I suppose, I’ve ever really dug into before. So working with different friends who I’m, like, ‘Oh, you know what? So-and-so would be great to play with on this, or to sing on this,’ and stuff. So I’m in the middle of that process right now and kind of figuring out how to integrate that in somewhat of a live setting where I know I’m not gonna be able to play the drums and the guitar and the bass and the keyboards all at the same time.
Doing these solo performances [at some of my recent drum clinics], it’s been a lot of fun personally. And finding the opportunity where, for example, we’ll [SUICIDAL TENDENCIES] be on tour with METALLICA [this spring and summer], having a show every like five days, so finding time in there to take advantage of some good downtime around America, why not try to do some independent, solo kind of clinic-style events and try to get this stuff that I’ve been working on forever somewhat integrated into that. So that’s kind of a little peek into the logistical making things happen. But that’s very exciting. Figuring out all these kind of solo, more independent pursuits is very, very exciting to be embarking on right now. But it’s a whole lot of planning that goes into it.”
