Not minding that you don’t get any sleep

Issue 49 of the Rock Candy magazine (the one with Black Sabbath’s Sabotage on the cover) has a page-spread interview with Don Airey. It is short, and sweet, and rather interesting. Don reveals that he is fond of travelling on tour buses, and even sometimes forgoes the Purple’s executive jet just to join the roadies on the bus. His most favourite session work is also quite unexpected — it is a series of McDonald’s ads he did in the 1990s — reinterpreting their jingle in the style of Mozart, Prokofiev, Ravel, etc. with a 50-piece orchestra.

The issue can be purchased from the publisher.

Thanks to Reinhard Lackner for the info.
