Interview with Gary Moat |
||||||
|
(March, 2017) |
||||||
| Hello Gary, I'm Iron Mathew, pleased to meet you. Tell me, at what age where you when you first started listening to Heavy Metal/Hard Rock? And what bands did you listen to? | ||||||
| Hello Iron Mathew, all kinds of music from around the age of 10 on, but Status Quo, Queen, Bad Company...loads of stuff. | ||||||
| Who has been the biggest influence in your career? | ||||||
| My dad bought me my first drum kit when I was 10. | ||||||
| Which artists or albums influenced your musical direction? | ||||||
| 70's rock and pop, Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, Boston, Ted Nugent and so on. | ||||||
| What are your fondest memories from your days with Heavy Pettin'? | ||||||
| Being young in a band with your friends and taking on the world. | ||||||
| After Heavy Pettin' split up, what were your thoughts regarding "what's next", and what did you do? | ||||||
| Started a family, got a job, kept writing songs and got on with it really. | ||||||
| With regards to Mothers Ruin, you took on the role of singer instead of drummer, what was behind that decision? | ||||||
| Well, it wasn't meant to be that way, I was going to play drums but as I was writing the songs it became obvious that I should just sing them, it's easier to find a drummer than a singer anyhow...ha ha! | ||||||
| And, what has happened to that band? | ||||||
| Well, I decided to change the bands name to Burnt Out Wreck as there are other bands and stuff called Mothers Ruin in the world and I wanted something original. | ||||||
| 2017 sees you fronting Burnt Out Wreck ... tell me a bit about how that band came together? | ||||||
| So I went into record some tunes in the studio, myself and Adrian Dunn, my lead guitarist under the banner of Burnt Out Wreck, but I had to find new band members for playing live, so on bass we have Alex Carmichael, on drums we have Paul Gray and on rhythm guitar Miles Goodman. | ||||||
| What differences are there in the music industry nowadays compared to thirty years ago with Heavy Pettin'? | ||||||
| There was money in the 80's . . . | ||||||
| The album 'Swallow' has just been released, what was the idea/concept behind the album? | ||||||
| No concept, I just had a bunch of songs, old and new, that I wanted to put out to let people know that old men still ROCK! | ||||||
| Is there going to be a tour in support of the album? | ||||||
| We will be playing some live shows yes, throughout 2017. | ||||||
| What was the latest album/albums you purchased? | ||||||
| Mediaeval Baebes of Kings and Angels. | ||||||
| And, who are you listening to right now? | ||||||
| The wife, lol. | ||||||
| And, moving forward, where do you see Burnt Out Wreck heading? | ||||||
| Well, I hope we get to play some good gigs and make some new friends, maybe make a 2nd album for next year, who knows? | ||||||
| And finally, where can fans keep up to date with Burnt Out Wreck news, and also purchase a copy of the album? | ||||||
| On facebook.com/BurntOutWreck, burntoutwreck.com or twitter.com/BurntWreck and the album is for sale on Amazon and many more sites all over the internet. | ||||||
