In-person interview with Peter Baltes from ACCEPT

By Aniruddh "Andrew" Bansal

October 18th 2010, Four Points By Sheraton Hotel, Los Angeles CA

In this interview, Peter talks about playing in LA for the first time in 17 years and fondly shares memories from the last time they played in LA. He gives his opinion on the band King's X and on playing the new songs in these shows.

Peter goes on to talk about the process behind 'Blood Of The Nations' and the importance of having producer Andy Sneap on board. He talks about some of the 'miracles' that happened in the past one year.

We discuss the 'Teutonic Terror' video, the importance of doing meet 'n greets, the band's return to the touring circuit with this year's New York show, and finding Mark as the vocalist.

In the ending segment Peter talks about making live sets unpredictable, the song off of Blood Of The Nations that's most special to him, plans for the next album and tour, and the prospect of singing again.
