On Eye of the Zombie, I had so-called studio musicians.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I was in a zombie apocalypse, I wouldn't be playing music, because that would attract zombies.
The Zombies were really unique - they had elements of jazz and classical music in their songs and songwriting. They had a very, very different sound compared to a lot of their contemporaries at the time.
All the people I hung out with were musicians.
In the studio, I'm always throwing people on different instruments.
I had my guitar at the set of 'Lost in Space' every day. I was the only one in the cast who had a stereo in his dressing room. So while I was in school or when I was in there working with Dr. Smith and the robot, half the rest of the cast was in my trailer listening to their records that they would bring.
To be honest, my friends weren't really as into making films as I was. But I convinced them all to make some zombie films with me.
Both my grandfathers and my mother's brother were musicians.
If I wasn't the head of a studio, who would talk to me?
With 'Elect the Dead,' I learned how to make a rock record without a rock band and make the rock record I've always wanted to make.
I think I was first to do live performances on a modern electronic sound synthesizer.
