Wow! Thanks Lowlight! I understand why Sarah was looking for it! Hilarious!!! Well, parts of it at least! To bad close to 20 people saw it before Sarah! And Sarah, tell us what you think about it, you that has known about the existence of this article for so long as I unserstand, and been looking for it since!
Finally, the ever-elusive Screamer interview is a mystery no more! Thanks a lot! But if I may get up on my moral high horse for a moment, the place where you found it bothers me philosophically for many reasons. Never liked what I've seen over there, so I'm even feeling a little bit conflicted that it of all places is where the Screamer interview finally shows up.
On to the interview itself... What a pleasure to finally read it after all these years. I have to admit, it's a much "heavier" interview than I thought it would be, especially since all I had to go on was that infamous quote used in the Mick Wall book. And while I'd still call it kind of a no-holds-barred interview, it's not as outright wild and silly as I'd exprected it to be. That is not a criticism of the interview, but really, I think it shows what taking a quote out of context can do. When *that quote* stands alone at the end of a chapter in the Mick Wall book and when it's referenced back to Screamer (which I believe is/was a metal mag with a focus on "hair bands"), you expect the interview to be this shoot-the-**** piece. And while I have to be totally honest and admit that while reading it I still get this almost naughty feeling of "Oh my god, I can't believe he flat-out told them that!" and "Oh my god, I can't believe they flat-out asked that!" (), I think the piece was really well done and thought-provoking. I think Jeff makes a lot of great points and I give kudos to both he and the interviewer for being so candid. A great read!!
(BTW, monoxyde, I managed to get into this thread and read the article a couple of days ago, but my home computer is having massive problems right now, so unfortunately couldn't reply until now)
