SEPULTURA Guitarist Interviews Rock Legend JERRY LEE LEWIS; Video Available

SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser interviewed 73-year-old rock legend Jerry Lee Lewis for a Brazilian TV program called "Altas Horas" when Jerry played Porto Alegre, Brazil on September 16, 2009. Watch the chat below.

An early pioneer of rock and roll music, Lewis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 and his pioneering contribution to the genre has been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked him No. 24 on their list of the "100 greatest artists of all time." In 2003, his box set "All Killer, No Filler: The Anthology" made it to No. 242 on the magazine's list of "500 greatest albums of all time."

Kisser's solo debut, "Hubris I & II", was released on June 15 via Holland's Mascot Records. A two-disc set, the self-produced effort was recorded in part at A Voz do Brasil studio in São Paulo, Brazil.

Kisser previously stated about the album, "I'm very pleased with the result and I'm excited to hear it all done. It was a long process, a learning process and a great experience. It's a musical journey through the influences I had for last 15 years of my life and at the same time it's very different from everything I did so far."

"Hubris" comes from Greek word "hybris," which means "excessive pride, wanton violence."
