2007.12.DD - Patti Hood Website - Patti's Biography (Chinese Democracy mention)

Hi Darian!

How did you find out about me? I'm wondering how you knew about my playing with Axl. Please let me know.

To answer your questions, I did a tour with The Church last year (we played at The Belly Up), I toured with a band called Lusk (we played at The Casbah). The lead singer in Lusk is Axl's keyboard player. Right now I'm working with a band called Stiky Side Up featuring Brad Hunt.

I actually didn't meet Axl until well after I did the session. I'm on a song called "This I Love". It is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard.

Unfortunately, I have no idea when the album will be released.

Thank you so much for your interest in my work.

Take care and Happy Holidays,

Patti

Hello Ulises!

Argentina....amazing. Your English is great. I don't want to say too
much about the song. I will say it's very special. I think everyone may
have a different opinion of Axl but to me, he is wonderful. I think I
should wait until the album is released to say anything. I think the
album is close to being finished.

I did the session about 2 and a half years ago. Axl was not present at
the session.

I do like Guns. Axl puts on an amazing show and is quite a performer.
But you have probably seen him live and know this.

Out of respect for Axl, I really don't want to say much more at this time.

Take care!
Patti

Hi Vincent,

Thank you for your interest in my participation in the album. I am interested in knowing how you came to find out about me. I had no idea that information was availble.

To answer your question, yes, I am on the track "This I Love". That is the only one I did. I actually did not meet Axl until well after I did the session.

Please let me know how you found out about me.

Thank you so much.

All the best,
Patti

I'm not sure if I should say anything else about this song with respect to Axl and his wishes. I can tell you that I did the session 2 years ago!

Also, this is really the only song I've heard.
Patti

As of yet, I don't have my CD's fully recorded, however I will have something on the myspace account soon. I'll certainly let you know when it's ready.

As far as Axl goes, I believe he can be different in every situation. I had an extremely wonderful meeting and impression of him. But I know we really connected through his music and my arrangement. And yes, he is very down to earth. I really don't know when I will see him again. Hopefully, one day soon.

I won't be touring as of yet, but I will let you know any news of this.

Patti

I heard the music on There Was A Time. I believe that Axl wants this one to be perfectly amazing.

I never met Bucket.

I can hope and pray to play with Axl live.

Take care,
Patti

Hi Stash,

What country are you writing from? I am on the song "This I Love". First I heard the instrumentation that was already completely recorded without the vocals. The song completely moved and inspired me for my arrangement.I never played with Tool. Paul who was the original bass player started a project called Lusk with Chris Pitman who is one of the keyboard players for Axl.I recorded and toured with Lusk.

I also happen to know Danny the drummer for Tool. I was in another band a long time ago (before Tool) and we used to rehearse in his loft.The the moment I'm rehearsing with a band called Stiky Sideup featuring Brad Hunt. I didn't record on the demos. That was before I met Brad.He has a myspace/stikysideup.I hope this answers some of your questions. I don't want to go into too much detail with respect for Axl.Thank you so much for writing.
