3?aK Episode 43: Will Fiore (Zoroaster)

Back in 2007, when I was the music writer for College Times, Kip Winger blew me off for an interview because he was on “vocal lockdown.” I didn’t want to see the questions I’d prepared go to waste, so for the next year, I asked everyone I interviewed if they’d be willing to get into character and answer the following “Three Questions as Kip.”

OK, now that you're up to speed, let's get on with the show. Playing the role of Kip Winger for this installment of 3?aK will be singer/guitarist of Atlanta psych/doom trio Zoroaster.

3?aK Episode 43: Will Fiore (Zoroaster)

1. We've already seen disco and '80s synth pop make comebacks. Do you think a hair metal renaissance is right around the corner?

Um, well, I don’t see, um, how there could be a renaissance if it’s never gone away. I mean, you know, we’ve been sellin’ out, uh, clubs ever since ’82. I don’t know if that’s when they came out.

2. Can you let our readers in on your secret to maintaining the perfect 5 o'clock shadow?

Oh man, that’s kinda funny. I used to do that. You know, you just gotta get two pairs of clippers with a number 2 guard and have some Hooters girls shave you every day. That’s about it.

3. What have you been up to for the last 15 years?

Well you know, workin’ on keepin’ the beard in check and, uh, you know, doin’ a lot of sit-ups and push-ups, and, uh, hangin’ out at Hooters.
