Lou Gramm

A lot of times Mick will play me different things, or I'll listen to a cassette, and out of twenty ideas or whatever, I'll find two or three that are just blowing me away, and we'll start working on them right away.

I opted out of the band.

I think we are looked upon as a veteran band.

It was kind of fun being the headliners.

We put out press releases to tell people what had happened to me and that I had a large weight gain but a lot of people still didn't know. The ones that didn't know were floored. That was a real humbling experience for me.

I gave my life to Christ about 1991.

I had my own musical ideas that Mick helped me with as well.

As long as I continue to put forth who I am and what I believe, than I think it all balances out.

It was a little at a time but I broke out my Walkman and my lyric pad and started writing.

Regardless what technology is, I like analog too.

For the next three plus years, I really was not in creative shape. That part of my brain was not functioning.

In those days it was pretty cut and dry. If you had a record company believing in you enough to cut an album then you had better have the ability to work the album on the road.
