What they’re saying

“'Long Face' is the first song I wrote for The Vampire Lestat. We decided early on to make David Bowie a big influence for Lestat's musical style and persona, and there's certainly some Ziggy Stardust in this song.”

— Daniel Hart, Composer (Bleeding Cool)

“'Long Face' is the first song Daniel Hart 'produced' for my album. He decided early on to steal where he could from Bowie because he hasn't had an original idea for five years now (is that his 'Green Knight' score fading in the rear view?) As for 'Long Face,' the bass should have walked down with the guitar at the end instead of pedaling on E. Predictable. Like everything Daniel Hart touches.”

— Lestat (Bleeding Cool)
