Zitat des Tages von Steve Brown:
It's a bummer sometimes but I always believe that great bands and great music always prevail.
I think there is always room for a timeless sounding rock band like us.
You know, with bands like Kiss back out on the road and Aerosmith coming out, we are going to be a band like that, in the sense that it's a big rock band.
Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly until you learn to do it well.
Too many people get lost in the game of having a good time and being naive about things.
I think we were always humble.
It's in the vein, somewhere in a cross between The Beatles, Cheap Trick, The Stones, Badfinger, you know, but it's not retro at all. But it is very pop.
One of my friends is Snake from Skid Row.
We did not have anyone like a manager, who could guide us and make it happen.
But either way you cannot deny the sales and what we did.
Always gotta keep busy or the voices start telling me to do wild things.
We have an amazing fan base all around the world that love 40FT.
It's a big shame, because 'Trixter' in my mind were what a real rock n' roll band is all about.
Yeah, man I am going to be writing a book soon. The reality of being in a rock band in the music business'.
The music is fun and all that, but first and foremost it is a business, it's about money.
I guess it comes back to the old motto, you have you're fifteen minutes a fame.
Just tasking a team to be creative won't get you to be innovative. It's having a corporate climate that gives people the space to experiment and take risks. Only then can you truly sustain it.
We can get airplay all across the board, from CHR to Active rock.
We really put together a great band, and have a great time.
We had gone out on the road in 94 and 95 for a three month American tour, and we realised, as did our manager and booking agent at the time, that we have really exhausted it, and we can't make money at this anymore.
No it wasn't at the time cause you have to remember, I had been playing clubs since I was 13.
But we did the best we could and in the end some of us had to get day jobs and start fresh.
I also have a recording studio that I use to produce bands.
