SD: What's one thing you know now that you wish you knew 'back then'?

 "To try and put myself in the fans' place more.  Just because I got interested in some new sort of music didn't mean the old Spin Doctors' fans wanted to come see this skinny guy on stage play weird stuff."

- Chris Barron, Singer/Songwriter (Spin Doctors, solo artist)

 "Treat every victory as if it's your last"
            - Eric Bazilian, Singer/Songwriter/Producer (The Hooters, Joan Osborne "One of Us")

“Even if (music) is just a hobby, take care of finances”
- Kevin Shirley, Producer/Engineer (Journey, Black Crowes, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin)

 

SD:  What's one piece of advice you've been given, that's stayed with you?

"Buy your own drugs!"
                  -Erin Riley, former radio DJ (KROQ), Music Director (WMMR)

"You open, you close"
- Eric Bazilian

“Never go to the track on payday! Also, perfection is the art of knowing when to compromise"
- Kevin Shirley

 

SD:  What song most makes you wanna get "down n' dirty"? ;-)

" 'Svefn-g-englar' by Sigur Ros.  Obscure, I know, but it's the one, trust me."
- Eric Bazilian

"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"
- Erin Riley

“Given the Dog a Bone!”
-Kevin Shirley
