Guitarist RYAN ROXIE - Previous Band ELECTRIC ANGELS "Turned Me From Virgin To Complete Slut, Metaphorically Speaking Of Course"
July 27, 2009, 15 years ago
ROXIE 77 / ex-ALICE COOPER guitarist Ryan Roxie is featured in a new interview with Calles Rock Corner.
Calle: In the mid '80s you played in CANDY, which later turned into ELECTRIC ANGELS. What’s your best experience from that time?
Roxie: "Those bands turned me from boy to man...from novice to veteran.... from virgin to complete slut, metaphorically speaking of course!"
Calle: Electric Angels only released one record, but you were working on a second album when the band got dropped. Is there any chance that those songs will be released?
Roxie: "Can we just re-phrase that question and say that the band got 'released' and someday we will 'drop' the songs onto the public....
To be honest, they are already out there on some bootleg Electric Angel fan sites. I don't know, perhaps we should talk to our old bass player, Jonathan, who is now one of the world's biggest band managers, god bless him. If anyone can find a way to turn a profit from those good 'ol E.A. Days, I'm sure he can."
Calle: After that you played guitar on some Gilby Clarke albums. I guess you remained friends after he left Candy?
Roxie: "We've all remained friends. We sort of all grew up together, so I think once you have spent anytime over 18 months straight in a van together, you will either become life long friends or life long enemies, and I've even continued to maintain my love/hate relationship with our old Electric Angel singer Shane long past the point of burying the hatchet...ahhh...good times."
