ANDREW FREEMAN Interview with Shawn Ratches of Laughing Monkey Music

In a new interview with Shawn Ratches of Laughingmonkeymusic, LAST IN LINE singer Andrew Freeman was asked about the possibility of him writing and recording solo material in the future. He responded: "I actually started working on some songs through the pandemic and [I have] lots of demos. I have one [song] that I was gonna release and I just have to do a video for it. I don't know if I want to release a full album, because every time that you put a song out, I feel like it should have a video accompaniment to it — a performance video or some sort of music video for it. I have one song that I wanna put out and I'll probably do that before the end of the year. And we'll see where it goes."

Andrew continued: "I'm not super motivated. I'll be honest, I'm not super motivated, just because I think I would just want to put out music for myself. Because I have a studio and I do record a lot, but I do get a lot of — outside of the band — I do get a lot of projects that come in and I get paid to sing on those projects and I perform with those guys. So, me doing it for myself, I don't think it's gonna be very profitable. It's more for my head than anything else. And I can't see myself going out and doing the Andrew Freeman tour.

"For me, I'm always thinking, does it make sense?" he explained. "How do I make it make sense? Because, for me, I have a limited amount of time — not a limited amount, but I have other things that I wanna do. And I don't wanna sit in the studio all day. I wanna spend time with my kids. I have a home I wanna take care of. I don't like to pay anybody to do anything. So I have to earn and all that stuff."

Freeman added: "When you're in your twenties and you're, like, 'I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get there. I'm gonna get there,' it makes a lot of sense to do it. But for me, I know I should probably do it because there's people who would be interested, but does it warrant doing my own material when I could be writing my own material with somebody else. I like having a writing partner. I like writing with [fellow LAST IN LINE members] Vinny [Appice], Vivian[Campbell] and Phil [Soussan]. I liked writing with the BULLETBOYS guys when we wrote some stuff that we never released; I like writing with them. I like when people hire me and I write to their stuff. So I'm always writing. It's just not always my thing."
