Sifu Stephen Doe Interview August 2007 Band Members: Sifu Stephen Doe Record Label Independant -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sifu Stephen Doe Interview - August 2007 - By Pharmer4 Sifu Stephen Doe is a guitar virtuoso originally from Springfield, now in Manchester, who has a penchant for martial arts and music. He has little time for bands that he thinks are losing their touch, and even less time for manufactured musicians. I spoke to him about what he has been working on recently. Pharmer4: Let's get the simple stuff out of the way first. Who would you include as your predecessors; which bands inspired you to make the music you do? Sifu Stephen Doe: Andres Segovia, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Allan Holdworth, Al Di Meola, Stevie Ray Vaughn and George Lynch. P4: Who would you class as your contempories; bands that you see as your equals in the current scene? SSD: Steve Vai, John Petruchi P4: Who would you like to tour with? SSD: Dream Theater, G3, Stariani, Paul Gilbert P4: Which bands would you just as soon see disappear altogether? SSD: Metallica P4: Interesting. Why would you want to see Metallica end? Is it their style, do you think they are past their prime, is it something else? SSD: I would want to see Metallica end because they are not up to the new standards of metal out there. P4: Any others, or just them? SSD: No there are not any others really. (anyone from American Idol LOL) P4: Which sub-genre of metal would you class yourself as? SSD: Progressive Metal P4: Tell me about your background. SSD: At the age of 5 years old I took Classical lessons. Later I took up lessons with Mr. Keith Moreau out of Agawam, MA. In pursuing my strong interest in music I attended open classes at the Conservatory of Music in Springfield, MA. Here I took composition, advanced composition and Music Theory, Jazz, Blues and of course rock. I now write, play all instruments and record my own music. P4: You have an impressive background with martial arts. Can you tell me about that? SSD: Accreditations: I took Martial Arts with Sifu Chow Ma Nee in Springfield Ma at the age of 5. … I was Certified at the age of 20 in Hong Kong, China in 28 of these styles of martial arts.

P4: How does your training in martial arts affect you approach to your music? SSD: Training in martial arts affects my approach to my music by: discipline, focus, seeing outside the box, nonconformity but fitting anywhere. P4: Does it give you the discipline to play all the music yourself, or does that come from somewhere else? SS: It gives me mostly the freedom to truly selfexpress. I can make it my way no rules except those I apply. P4: Tell me about where you are from SSD: I am a Native of Springfield, MA USA. I now reside in Manchester, NH USA. P4: What is you local scene like - are you one amongst many, or a lone torch bearer for Metal? SSD: I am more like a lone torch bearer for Progressive Metal in the State of New Hampshire. Most of the groups tend to be Thrash or ScreamO metal young kids. P4: What do you want to achieve with your music; a way to avoid mundane employment; notoriety amongst metal fans, or world domination? SSD: I w
