Maximum Metal's Vinaya Saksena recently caught up with RAVEN bassist / vocalist John Gallagher. An excerpt is available below:
Q: Fans often hear stories of the fun (and funny) stuff that often happens to bands on the road, and the good feelings they get when they do get a lucky break. How close would you say you ever came to "making it" or was there any particular time when you felt you had actually done so?
Gallagher: "No, that gets knocked out of you very early on. I sat at a table with Ozzy and Sharon [Osbourne] at the Hammersmith Odeon in London back on 1980 when she said 'Ozzy wants a hand in your future'....and nothing ever happened. From then on, you just do what you gotta do and enjoy the ride. Personally, I feel we have been very successful - we have a unique band that makes great music and kicks ass on stage like no other. If you equate success with money, go be the Jonas Brothers. We got into this for the love of playing and writing. Anything we got along the way was a bonus!"
