J-Whats the craziest thing a fan has done to meet you?

J.D.-It's amazing what people will do sometimes...and we saw our share of it for
sure.  A lot of it is fun but, some people will go to great lengths and make
up some f*cked up stories to meet bands.

J-how did the band get along..were you guys fighting alot..etc?

J.D.-We got along good early on but, once you reach a certain level of success,
there are a lot of variables that change.  There is this sort of pressure to
sustain it and when you mix that with egos and stuff it can get out of hand. 
But really, it's like any relationship...when you are around people that much
(like on a bus for months), little things start to get on your nerves.  You
really have to try to keep things in perspective.
 

J--Why did Dean leave? was it a big blow out..or an agreement?

J.D.-We tried to work things out but, Dean wanted out and his mind was made up.  We had a lot of dates to finish on that tour but, an agreement was impossible.  He had another band together before he even got home...lol.

J-How did you find your next singer Tommy?

J.D.-Once the word got out that Dean bailed, we started getting tons of tapesthrough our management.  We sorted through them and picked out the bestones...then held some auditions.  Tommy's voice was so unique...we really dug it.  Then he took some of the musical ideas we had and really made them come
to life...that was really what sold us.
 

J-How was the change w/someone new?

J.D.-It was kind of scary but exciting at the same time.  When we started making
new music, it had a whole new energy to it and that was a great feeling. 

J-What would you say was one of the best songs you guys did in Britny Fox..w/Dean or Tommy?

J.D.-There are quite a few for different reasons...I think "Long Way to Love" was a good song, cool riff, cool feel, etc.  "Girlschool" was cool for what it was and it helped launch the band...thought the video was great.  There were also some on the 2nd lp that were cool as well..."Dream On", "Livin' on a Dream", "Long Way from Home".
As far as the Tommy songs...my faves are "Louder", "Black and White" and "Over and Out".

J-And what one do you wish you had never recorded?

J.D.-I thought there were quite a few on Boys 'N Heat (side 2)...matter of fact, I
wish that title AND some of those songs had never been recorded!

J-Now.....onward......why did the band finally break up?

J.D.-Unfortunately, we met the same fate as most other bands of that genre at that time.  We were trying to support a record with no help from our label, radio
or MTV...and for the type of band that we were, that was pretty much
impossible.
