An Interview with ex-Burning Tree/LA Guns Bassist, 'Muddy Stardust' that took place in January 2010 by Glenn Milligan What
turned you onto playing the Bass and what was the 1st one you got? You've
no doubt been asked this many times, so I will apologize for that
now, but how did Mark Dutton become Muddy Stardust? What
songs do you enjoy playing for fun most and why? What
songs have you most enjoyed playing on a professional level and who
with? What
attracted you to Hollywood and what are your favorite hangouts and
why? In
your opinion, how would you say it has changed since you have been
there with regard to the Rock Scene and venues? Troy
(from Pretty Boy Floyd/White Lion) was recently telling me about you
guys having a cover band called 'Lost Angels' - what have been the
highlights of being a member of the band and what do you miss about
it when you aren't doing it? Any cool stories regarding the band and
when you played in India? (Stereo @ Muddy's Studio, April, 2009) Where
have you most enjoyed playing worldwide, with who and why?
What were the most memorable points of being a member of LA Guns and
how was that UK Tour with them for you - what were the highlights
of it? You must have some great road stories - care to spill the beans on some legendary ones? Buy me a drink 1st. What
albums and songs have you most enjoyed being part of and why? How
would you describe the bass style of Muddy Stardust? What
is your favourite bass and why? What
have been the hardest songs you have had to learn and how did you
overcome the challenges? If
you could duet with any particular bassist, who would it be and why?
What would you like to play with them? What
would you say the average day is for you? What
got you involved in producing and what have been the most memorable
times in the studio for you as a producer? What's
the odds of a 'Burning Tree' reunion in the future, since many bands
seem to be doing it in the last few years? Are you all still in touch
with each other? Tell
us what you are up to right now - Up the Dose by any chance? How did
the band come to be? What's
your preference - being a Producer or being on stage playing Bass
and reasons why? What
could you see yourself doing if you weren't in the music business? What
other things would you like to talk about that I haven't talked about
already? What
are you most looking forward to in 2010? What
are your plans of 'Up The Dose' doing some dates in Europe & the
UK?
What are you most proud of in your career so far both as a bassist,
producer and all round person?
