“In 1973 we moved to the British Isle of Man, and I put my first band together for one year, named Melody Fair.”Andy GibbBand
“I'm a street player, and all of my influences come from bands that I was listening to at the time when I was growing up. I was very impressed with guys like Mitch Mitchell. I liked rock and roll drummers, and I loved rhythm and blues guys like Clyde Stubblefield with James Brown. Man, that band blew me away all of the time.”Joey KramerBand
“I played with a few local bands in the West Country, where I grew up, but when I was 18, I moved to London, which at that time was probably the most exciting musical city in the world. I was supposed to be studying dentistry, but all the time I was looking for a band to join.”
“It's very weird, but we always feel honoured when someone takes their personal time to create anything Smash Mouth-related.”Steve HarwellHonoured
“Obviously, the first 'Shrek' is the best because that's the only one with our songs featured in it.”Steve HarwellFeatured
“My first gig was at Carle Place High School, which is in Nassau County, Long Island, New York. I was 14, and I was invited to play with this band, and I was so excited, but I was really petrified.”Joe SatrianiBand
“Being in a band is the best place I can think of to be as up-front as possible. If you let something stew, it'll grow into a mountain of nonsensical black mud in no time.”Duff McKaganBand
