As long as I continue to put forth who I am and what I believe, than I think it all balances out. |
I was a drummer, and I did a little singing too. |
I had my own musical ideas that Mick helped me with as well. |
I think we are looked upon as a veteran band. |
In those days it was pretty cut and dry. If you had a record company believing in you enough to cut an album then you had better have the ability to work the album on the road. |
A lot of times Mick will play me different things, or I'll listen to a cassette, and out of twenty ideas or whatever, I'll find two or three that are just blowing me away, and we'll start working on them right away. |
We still play Foreigner songs. I play the songs that I was involved in writing. |
It was really terrific but Foreigner was nothing like Yes and that style did not suit our music. |
It was kind of fun being the headliners. |
When we finish this tour we are going to begin writing and go into the studio to hopefully have a brand new Foreigner album out in early spring next year. This will be the first Foreigner album out in about ten years. |
I am starting to look like and perform like the Lou that I used to be. |
Regardless what technology is, I like analog too. |
If you had a record company believing in you enough to cut an album then you had better have the ability to work the album on the road. |
Beginning to create again was something that I took for granted but I never will take it for granted again. |
It's only in the seventies that I put the sticks down and I moved to the front. |
I gave my life to Christ about 1991. |
After the accident Black Sheep was pretty much at an end. |
The future is finally something that we can now put into focus. |
You have to work with the ideas and give them a little push. |
We put out press releases to tell people what had happened to me and that I had a large weight gain but a lot of people still didn't know. The ones that didn't know were floored. That was a real humbling experience for me. |
