_ _ _ [D#] _ _ _ _ _
Hi Mark, you were born in 1964.
_ What is your first musical memory?
Well, do you still think well Beatles wise or was it Black Sabbath maybe or? _ _ _
the first
_ _ _ Song I actually remember hearing and thinking _ _ _
What is that?
_ I didn't know what it was until much later, but I was at a
At _ _ _ a fishing [D#] pond with my dad when I was really little and I was playing on somebody's car stereo
I heard this song and I thought _ man, that's sad sounding
and then years later, I heard it again and it was
_ _ It was Nazareth doing love hurts _ _ _
That's really the first song I remember hearing and actually thinking about it
So, I think it was _ _
_ _ _ _ Yeah, and _
_ Are you let's say are you a 70s?
Person I mean with if you look back on your youth or [D] was it maybe?
disco punk or what what
_ _ Well the first song I'd heard the first music that I really connected with was sort of original punk rock
_ _ British _
Punk rock and New York punk rock like the Ramones
And then that sort of pre punk rock stuff like the [C#] Stooges and velvet underground
New York dolls
_ at the [C] same time I was
_ [C#]
Hearing the sex pistols and the damned and the stranglers who I'd liked a [D#] lot
_ _ You know that kind of stuff was [C#] the first stuff that made me
You know actually get into music and [D] want to buy records and pay attention to music actually steal records
Okay, what _ what what [N] was the first record you stole? _
_ _ _ I'm pretty sure it was Alice Cooper
_ _ _ Goes to hell the one where he's got the green face on the cover _ and it was an 8-track not a record
_ [D] _ _
_ _ _ Actually the first record I bought _ _ was _ _
The who Tommy but not the not the who's version the actual movie [G#] soundtrack _ _ _
Okay
_ _ So well, well you started screaming trees and what the first album has been released in 1986
_ What was the first song that you actually well that you the first song you wrote how old were you? _ _ _
it was on the first trees record and _
_ _ Me and the guitar player wrote pictures in my mind together
Which could have easily come off one of the early spinal tap records as well, but we actually wrote it
_ _ And but it sounds good to me because well your first song you wrote actually made it on onto an album
sometimes people say well, I have to work on songs four or five years, but
_ _ Well, yeah _ _
We probably could have worked on songs for a good ten years and it would have been to our [E] benefit
But instead the very first songs we were writing became records and you know, your last solo almost in 2004
I think it was well the the longest time that you actually took between your solo albums
Why did it [D] take you so long?
_ Well in between I was doing a lot of collaborations and a lot of other records and a lot of tours
I did three records with Isabelle Campbell and a lot of touring with her.
_ I also did two records
Singing with the British band soul savers and I toured a lot with them
made a record with my friend Greg [D#] Dooley called the gutter twins [D] and toured that for [D#] a year and you know
_ Bang before I knew it seven years [C#] had gone by and I didn't really intend for there to be that much time between [F] them
But I got you write songs actually
_ _ _ Usually [E] I'm writing songs but I was
_ You know writing songs for those specific projects when I [D] started this record.
I mean usually when I'm starting a solo record
I'm digging back into the past and [C#] finding bits and pieces of stuff that I never [D] finished or didn't [C#] make sense
and now it does and
[D] _
Usually a record starts with one or two of those but this one I started completely brand-new just wrote the first song recorded it
while that one was being
Finished I was writing the next one, you know like that _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
