Interview with Lenny Wolf, may 2011
Back in 1988 and soon after a young German rocker moved to LA to pursue his musical ambitions, Lenny Wolf achieved his dream when the debut album of his new band Kingdom Come reached platinum status. The comparisons with Led Zeppelin were inevitable and in the end, this lead to the band's demise years Joter. Returning to his hometown of Hamburg, Lenny has not surrendered and still waves the Kingdom Come flag, releasing albums and playing live shows, I was pleasantly surprised to come across a very talkative Lenny when he called from Hamburg to have a good chat about all things Kingdom Come, I also discovered that last year he was involved in a side project with Michael Schenker is what the charismatic front man had to say, starting with new album 'Rendered Waters' - a mixture of old and new material.
Interview with Lenny Wolf by Classic Rock, 2007
Ten albums on from their debut, and now a very different band, but the ‘Led clones’ millstone still hangs round their neck.
If truth be told, Kingdom Come committed musical suicide a long time ago; in 1988, to be precise, when their self-titled debut album was sent to American radio stations, attached to a rumour that this was Led Zeppelin secretly back together. Compounding that ‘felony’, the band amazingly denied there was any Zep influence in their music. Cue the end of a promising career and the start of a lengthy exile from the mainstream.

FIB MUSIC: What's new? Tell us about the new album. When can we expect to see you touring?
Lenny: Don't really like talking much about music. It's something you should "listen" too. But it surely is another growing step for me, in regards of combining sounds and building a bridge between the 80's and 2009. I think Kingdom Come has developed a unique approach of writing. Not doing the same thing over and over again, and taking the fans on different journeys. We are booking shows as of now. Depending on the circumstances, we play wherever it makes sense.
FIB MUSIC: You recorded the song "24 Hours" as a duet with a girl named Jessica. Tell us a little about her and why the song wasn't on the album as well as where our readers can go to hear it.
Exclusive Interview to our site
Hello everybody who can hear us!
Today we're happy to talk with a real genius, outstanding man, who doesn't do the same again & again, he's always growing up, not following to the trends. His self development is more important to him than a commercial success. With a man who's faithfully on his Mission during the years... He shares a part of him with us. He shares his deepest feelings and emotions, his wise thoughts about our reality. He freely speaks about the burning questions of our society, peace and war... "By storming the cockpit" he wants to be heard, and, believe, he is heard. "Connecting through music" - it's a real magic, which nobody can steal from us.
The name of this man is Lenny Wolf, and his Mission is called Kingdom Come.
We're talking to him: first, to know how the Monsters of Rock tour was and if he already works on the new material, and of course we won't forget to talk about the last album; secondly, to shatter few old dirty myths... and of course to receive the answers to some questions of vital importance, which we hope will help us to understand a little bit more so contradictory personality of a "simple man" Lenny Wolf.
