NEW: Fan-Interview with DERRICK MCKENZIE
Hello Jamirotalkers!
Regular visitors of Jamirotalk.net will remember that we had collected questions for a Jamirotalk interview with Jamiroquai drummer Derrick McKenzie some time ago. You sent in more than 80 questions from which I made a pre-selection. I am more than happy to announce today, that me and Derrick finally found the time to meet online for a live chat in which I could ask him some questions of our list.
Thanks everyone for your contributed questions and your patience. As for myself I can say, it was well worth the wait.
Thanks Derrick, for this great and intense chat, for the honest answers and for your time!
Thanks, Deesha and Claire for editing questions - and thanks Deesha for the neat introduction at the beginning of the interview. Excellent and fast work!
Please everyone, feel free to send your comments into this thread - I am sure Derrick will take a peek to see how you guys like our interview.

Awesome interview!!!
We all enjoy this interview like a new album release. Itñs a pleasure to see how the members of this band are always ready to talk with the fans. Many other musicians should learn from you.
Hope to see more news soon, and please, Derrick, continue giving us all those good vibes.
Cheers

I noticed that in the interview, Derrick said the track Bullet has kick-ass lyrics. Too bad we can't hear them As far as I know, Bullet was included as a B-side on the Virtual Insanity single and the lyrics were taken out...although if you listen VERY closely, you can actually hear Jay singing/talking in the background throughout the beginning. _________________ If it ain't no natural law, then you can keep your regulations.

That was wonderful to hear. Thank you so much. I haven't heard Bullet so that's one more track I need to find.
I'm so excited to hear about the future of this band and as Return of the Space Cowboy is my favourite album, I can't wait to hear the new stuff!
Thanks again _________________ We could have saved the Earth but we were too damned cheap.
