I still have the note that Steve Stewart wrote me, saying he was 'trusting me with this' when I was given No.4 well in advance of the release. It was even on Steve Stewarts fantastically bad paper.
I remember playing the songs over the damn phone for someone on the board here who was harrassing the shit out of me.
That Matt guy played a couple tunes for me over the phone from what I can remember. I only had No. 4 a couple weeks before it came out. I still have an interview with Scott that I did on tape during the No. 4 tour that I never made into a digital file. I listened to it a few yers ago and it was a trup listening to how idiotic I sound and how much BS promises Scott threw out. He's always been a nice guy to me though.....
SLDD, on the other hand, I had a full month prior. That was a debacle and I got in a little trouble for that one....believe some other folks (looks around) did as well. That was when Big Hassle media was their publicist.
Ahhh...the good old days when it was all STP all the time. Now, I just get passed in the posting rankings daily by people who have been signed up here since June.
