(antiMusic) Are you ready to rock? Then rock legend Billy Morrison might just have the album you've been waiting for. Billy really doesn't need an introduction to rock fans, The Cult, Circus Diablo and Camp Freddy are just some of the bands he's been a part of. And then you have Stimulator, a band that Billy formed with Terry Warville and Jason Bowld from Pitchshifter back in 1998. Now a decade later Billy is allowing fans to hear what they've been missing with the release of Stimulator.

When we heard about this album finally being released, we fired off an email to ask Billy to give us the lowdown on some of his favorite tracks. A few hours later he came through in a big way. So here is Billy to discuss his favorite tracks from Stimulator!

L.I.V.: No. It isn't a song about Liv Tyler! Its an acronym for something (that will remain nameless!). The song is about prostitution and a couple of people that I knew a few years ago. Its a really sad, shallow life, and I was around the whole scene for a while, watching these girls lose their soul and their respect for a hit on the crack pipe. Its absolutely incredible what we, as human beings, will do when we are in need of something. I lived with one of these girls for about a year and the emotional turmoil that the situation created became the basis for this track, a few years later (once I had crawled my way out of my own pit!!) ..."you stand alone, and full of hate. you close your eyes to fornicate"....how the f**k did I get the word 'fornicate' to sit in a song like that?!!

The CD is out now digitally on iTunes and limited edition hard copy CD is available exclusively from - www.billymorrison.net
