Billy Morrison Week: Day 1 "Rush"

(antiMusic) Are you ready to rock? Then rock legend Billy Morrison might just have the album you've been waiting for. Billy really doesn't need an introduction to rock fans, The Cult, Circus Diablo and Camp Freddy are just some of the bands he's been a part of. And then you have Stimulator, a band that Billy formed with Terry Warville and Jason Bowld from Pitchshifter back in 1998. They were ready to take on the world when the daring label that brought us such bands as Guns N' Rose and Nirvana quickly signing them up and sent them into the studio to record their debut album. But then that daring label was bought out and the new parent label had more of a play it safe attitude and decided that Stimulator rocked too hard for their taste. But now a decade later Billy is allowing fans to hear what they've been missing with the release of Stimulator. When we heard about this album finally being released, we fired off an email to ask Billy to give us the lowdown on some of his favorite tracks. A few hours later he came through in a big way. So here is Billy to discuss his favorite tracks from Stimulator! RUSH: This song was a very personal way for me to deal with a life that I once led. It is a true story about some of the things that happened to me when I lived on the streets of Downtown LA, and abused very dangerous drugs for quite some time. The feeling of wanting to cut your own throat, and not having the balls to do it, is one you never forget. By the time we had all finished with it, the song became one of my favourite tracks on the album, and because of the personal nature of the lyrics, one of my favourites to sing as well. References to "6th and Bonnie Brae" and "woke up to a one mm of silence and despair" still ring true today, ten years after this song was written. The CD is out now digitally on iTunes and limited edition hard copy CD is available exclusively from - www.billymorrison.net
