Sacred Metal – An Interview with Lita Ford
Sacred Metal – An Interview with Lita Ford
June 2009
by Melanie "Sass" Falina
It's been a decade and a half since metal mistress Lita Ford has been on the scene. During her hiatus she got married, started a family, moved to the Caribbean, and gave up wearing shoes.
In 2008 Ford resurfaced at Rocklahoma and since then she began working on a new album - the first in almost twenty years - and metal fans couldn't be happier that she's returned.
"Oh, you know, I'm getting such an overwhelming response, it's amazing," exclaimed Ford in earnest. "We just did a press conference in Sweden and I walked out in front of all these people and they just stood there with their mouths hanging open. It's really weird, it's almost like people are in shock, I just appeared out of nowhere."
So did Ford have any idea just how much she was being missed?
"No, I really didn't. I really didn't, I literally live on a deserted island - we're talking no Wal-Mart, no K-Mart, no Federal Express, no fast food restaurants, I mean there's nothing where we live. When you walk the beach your footprints are the only ones in the sand; it's really desolate. And we wanted a good place to raise our boys, we have two boys, and we wanted to teach them to live off the land - so to speak. If anything ever happened we know that they would survive because they can hunt, they can fish, they can swim, they swim out with the sharks," she laughs, "Not something every parent would let their child do but they live off the land, they love it. They bring home fresh food for dinner, it's kind of cool. But then I miss the malls."
