Form all the publications I've read or videos I've watched from the states, Philippines or where ever, I think this was the best interview I have ever seen with Arnel as the subject.
You really hit it out of the park.

Yep. It took someone with Andrew's knowledge of Arnel to pull it off.

Excellent work, Andrew. Really enjoyed the interviews.
Sad that SP won't oblige you, ever, but that is his loss.

That was beautiful, Drew.
Honorary Plokker status is in order.
Respect and kindness can get you places that assholiness won't.

He's been warm, funny, and kind every time I've talked to him.

Thanks for the feedback folks.
Awesome feedback too.
I don't do a lot of interviews these days, kinda burned out on them. But saving myself for a few big ones. Was really looking forward to these interviews and glad that comes across...
Love such good feedback. Good for the soul

Really great interviews with both guys, Andrew. Very conversational and not cookie-cutter. Arnel
doesn't have an ounce of bullshit in him and really seems to have settled in. Interesting part on his vocals for the opening and coach helping go open them up. His voice soars on Eclipse.

Sigh. I'm on my iPhone and the spell checker thing changes words if I don't pay attention. I suck typing on it.

Excellent interview Andrew. It flowed more like a casual conversation between 2 people who have known each other for years. Arnel is a great interviewee. He's so positive and upbeat and there's seemingly nothing that's off limits to him. When I interviewed him near the end of the Revelation tour, I was blown away by his humility and how unassuming he is when it comes to his role in the band and his place in music history. The final lines of your interview speak volumes about his character and humility:
Take care, take care of yourself on the road, Arnel.
Ok. Ok. You too, huh? Thank you so much for your time.
It's nice to see his appreciation for..... well, everything basically, has remained largely in tact.
Nicely done Brother!

I noticed that Andrew did a lot more of the talking in Arnel's interview. Neal was pretty verbose. Was good to see him being so candid.
