J-First off lets go wayyy back to the beginning..How did you hook up with Dangerous Toys?
J.M-I was in a band called WATCHTOWER from 1982 to 1987,A sort of technical RUSH meets Metallica, thrash band. Watchtower had released an album (there were no cds yet) and had dome very well in the underground metal community and had sold a few thousand copies in EUROPE alone with no major label support at all. Oct. 87 came around, and guitarist Tim Trembley from a band then called ONYXX, who had fired their singer, and called to ask me to fill in for fun, things sorta took off from there, we changed the name to DANGEROUS TOYS .We got together to play covers in a local bar, it was a lot of fun, ended up writing a few songs, "Teasn' Pleasn'" and "Outlaw", "Sportn' a Woody", "Here Comes Trouble", mainly songs that ended up on the first Dtoys cd, we played the SXSW (South by South West Music Conference), and someone offered us a publishing deal, and we ended up getting a deal thru all that went down with them and a management co. all in about 6 months after the band had first gotten together. We lost an original member, guitarist Tim Trembley by the time we started recording, so we did the first cd as a four piece band, me on vox, Mike Watson bass, Scott Dalhover-guitar, and Mark Geary drums.

J-How long were you guys together before you got signed?
J.M.-Only 6 months, I had to
quit my long time band Watchtower to contractually join Dangerous Toys. that
was hard on me, but we had no idea was was to come of this new band Dangerous
Toys. its been an experience.

J-How did everyone get along?
J.M.-We got along great all the time, fun stuff, the songs portray all of that, we really did live those songs, maybe not to the "T", but we really did love the road!!
 

J-What was your favorite tour you guys went on. .and why?
J.M.-All of it was an experience to remember. The guys in the CULT were so cool, really enjoyed our
company as well as watched our set almost every night, that's rare on the road, for the headliners to really give a shit about the support bands. also, the tour with Judas Priest, Alice Cooper, Metal Church and Motorhead was cool just because we we were touring with friends, as well as idols. Really a great time.
