The Gauntlet's interview with Flotsam drummer Craig Nielsen

This weekend, fans will be reading The Gauntlet's exclusive interview with Flotsam and Jetsam drummer Craig Nielsen in regard to the band's appearance at the Louder Harder Faster festival. The interview was conducted on Monday, April 11th, just prior to the confusion surrounding the band's status after dropping from the lineup of the three day music festival. The drummer spoke with The Gauntlet's Senior Editor Erin Fox in regard to the band's upcoming album release "Dreams Of Death", Eric AK's troubles with touring in support of the release and various issues surrounding the embattled group. In regard to the situation regarding the vocalist's inability to tour, Nielsen stated "He's got a lot of responsibilities. He's taken on a couple of mortgages and he's got two kins and the whole thing. He's got a good job and when he leaves to go on tour, he has to find a new job and there's just only so many times you can do that."

Watch for the complete interview with Nielsen this Saturday on The Gauntlet.
