SHRED AIN'T DEAD: After Alice Cooper finishes up his year-plus run as the opening act on Mötley Crüe's Final Tour, Strauss plans to continue writing songs for an in-the-works solo album. While she hasn't had much free time to focus on her own music, Strauss says she wouldn't have it any other way: "I always hear people say, 'I would have never in a million years thought that I'd be doing this.' But what's funny is, I kind of never in a million years thought I wouldn't be doing this." Furthermore, she hopes that shred guitar will one day garner the same type of attention it did back when she was just a small child. "There are definitely more guitar solos in rock and metal again," she says. "So I'm hoping it makes a comeback. It would be nice to see a guitar player on the cover of People magazine instead of a Kardashian, you know?"
