Former Accept bassist, Peter Baltes, recently talked with Finland’s Chaoszine, where he talked about his departure from the group.
Peter also confirmed he has played on Mick Mars’ upcoming solo album, saying:
“Well, it was… maybe the last two years, it started to go down. I didn’t like it anymore. And I found out some things, I don’t wanna elaborate, but I found out some things that are really not nice. I’d been together with Wolf (Hoffmann) my whole life, and that wasn’t really necessary.
”Some people have to have all the control, and when it started going into the artistic control, then it really bothered me more. So I really wasn’t into it anymore. And I was glad I did it, because it was 2018, and it was the last tour. And then corona happened anyway, so I got to record a lot of different albums. I played on Mick Mars’ solo album. I did so many different things.
”And I was writing music for television and radio anyway, so I had two years of working [on] other stuff that I wasn’t used to. And then, on the other hand, sitting at home for two years, when Udo (Dirkschneider) called (and asked me to join U.D.O. and Dirkschneider), that’s why I took about five minutes to answer.”
