J-Ok..first lets rewind..everyone wants to know about the good ol days'
How
did you hook up with Great White..back in the day?
T-I was teaching
at a music store where Stephen Williams, the co-writer of "Save Your Love",
worked. He told me of the audition and set it up.
J-How long were you in Great White?
T-I started n the Spring of '87 to
Feb. 1992. About 5years or so.
J- How did everyone get along?
T-We
got along as well as five guys locked in a steel tube night and
day for 5 years can. Good most of the time, sometimes not so good...
J-How importmant was the look back then..and do you ever look back at pictures
and
think "what was I thinking?"
T-I never consciously thought about
a look, my hair was long, and to me that was indicitive of my devotion to my
music and the type of music. I'm a metal head, what can I say?
J-
Whats the craziest thing a fan has ever done to meet you?
T-There
are some "standard" fan type stories that I've heard and that also happened
to me, and I'm sure are still happening to bands like Korn... The
most unusual thing to me is when fans travel to date after date sometimes covering
several states! Wierd gifts,"personal" pictures etc. I love
it all, I've keptjust about everything.
J-Whats the biggest crowd you have played for? and where?
T-The Monsters
of Rock in Europe is pretty big, 80,000 or something like that. There's
a picture on my site in the gallery of one of those gigs.
J- What
was your favorite tour you have done?..any good stories?
T-Again, stories
and stories, too many to tell. I loved touring with Whitesnake.
Pros to the bone. I loved watching Tommy Aldridge every night, he was
amazing!
