    That was an interesting interview. I saw CD in 92 in Camden underworld and Valor was on top form. There were still people in the crowd shouting out "Bring back Rozz" though. lol.

      @@reanimate21People can't respect Valor's talent as a multi-instrumentalist. Rozz was a good lyricist, but I found his excessive artsy/glam appraoch grating, I prefer the darker approach of valor. I always respect people much more when they can perform as a musician and handle vocal/lyrical duties at the same time.

      ​@@Based_Stuhlinger, i saw Christian death twice with val& both shows few songs in their laptop crashed& lost backing tracks. Both times promoter had to come on stage& apologize- val didn't have the decency to come back on stage& apologize for technical issues. Playing in punk bands most of my life-backing tracks crash,so be it still have 3 musicians on stage- show must go on!!

    His accent is strange. Almost like New York in a large way, but some of his words, he pronounces with a British sounding accent. Of course i don't know where he's originally from, so if someone wants to Enlighten me lol.

      Valor is just riding on the coat tails of what other people created. Valor never created anything original or anything of his own that is successful. He still basks under the Christian Death name
