What recordings
are you on.. with Roxx Gang and Mojo Gurus?
"The Voodoo You Love" "Old, New, Borrowed
and Blue", "Smoking TNT, and Drinking Dynamite".
and I guess the Greatest Hits.. there is some of the stuff I'm on..
How about the look back
then.. how important was it..do you ever look back and think what the hell was I
thinking?
Umm..sometimes.. I look back at the
pictures..
Well I think you guys had a
cool style anyways..never like a overly glammed out look.
I thought it was cool ya.. there're
certain people that can pull that look off.. and certain people that cant. I
have always looked fondly on how I've looked back then still to this day.. I
have photo albums I enjoy showing people..hey check me out with my hair and
stuff... hahaha..ya sometimes I laugh about it.. but I don't look back and think
oh I'm so embarrassed about how I looked..
And what caused you to leave
the band..
Umm.. I guess probley around 2000... I
got tired of taking orders.ya know..being in a band is supposed to be fun, you
work hard you get rewarded. it just got to a point were I wasn't getting
rewarded. I was told how to play.. how to dress. ya know I got to be myself if
you start putting a big wall around me.. or who I am or what I'm about. I got to
do my thing..I wasn't happy with the music.. ya know im tired of being in a one
man show.. I really felt it was time for me to move on.. and once that happened,
I really felt like I was let out of jail. I was having creative freedom. being
happy.. being in a band is supposed to be fun, it got to a point where I was
going to rehearsals. was like going to the dentist.. that's when I stopped and
realized. varying factors personal differences, definitely musical differences.
and I felt playing Carlies twice a month really wasn't a step in the right
direction for my career
Did you leave straight from
here when you left?
Yes. my wife and I packed up the house..
got a U-haul trailer, hooked it to the car headed to the wagon west..and
couldn't be happy then living in L.A. right now..its the best thing I ever did..
And do you
still talk to any of the guys in the band?
Umm I have talked to Vinnie a few times
we still keep in touch every now and then..
but that's about it.. I don't know what those other guys really think..I'm not
really in the best of books with them, but I could really care less..
