End of Year Recap - Floor Jansen of REVAMP

With the year coming to a close, The Gauntlet has contacted some of our favorite bands to recap their year and let us know whats in store for 2011. Floor Jansen from REVAMP has checked in.

<b>Did you have any ‘Spinal Tap’ moments this year?</b>
Floor Jansen of REVAMP: No black albums signed with black markers....no panic runs in search for the stage... no weird stage attributes that just didn't fit... no manager to lie to me... hmm. We had 1 show where we came in so late, the moment the show should have started had already passed. The guys emptied the truck in no time and build up our gear. I ran into the dressing room for my stage outfit and some make-up and 10 or 15 minutes later, we were playing our first song. Pfff!

<b>What were some of your favorite releases from 2010?</b>
Floor Jansen of REVAMP: The new Alter Bridge album (AB III) and the new Soilwork (The Panic Broadcast)


<b>New Year’s resolution?</b>
Floor Jansen of REVAMP: Make ReVamp number 2 for others!

<b>Most memorable metal news item of 2010?</b>
Floor Jansen of REVAMP: This year we lost a lot of great musicians. We had several memorable moments, sad ones... :-(

<b>Plans for the holidays?</b>
Floor Jansen of REVAMP: I'm gonna go cliché this year and I look forward to it :-) Stay home with friends and family, put up a tree and don't go out except for walks through the snow if it's white outside.

<b>What’s on your iPod?</b>
Floor Jansen of REVAMP: My 2 new favourite albums....but also Nine Inch Nails, Pantera, Placebo, Damien Rice, Epica, Depeche Mode, Skunk Anansie, and Dimmu Borgir.

<b>If you could bring back one musician from the grave for a day, who and why?</b>
Floor Jansen of REVAMP: Freddy Mercury. To hear him sing, to see him sing in real time, in real life. To find out what kind of guy he is/was. That would be amazing!
