Braingell.com's Bruce Forrest has issued a new interview with Pretty Boy Floyd vocalist Steve Summers. The following is an excerpt:

Q: Looking back, why do you think Pretty Boy Floyd did not reach the status of POISON, or WARRANT? Was this due to MCA not handling the band properly?

A: "Well, MCA didn’t really have that great of a track record with their rock division when we were with them, so there were a ton of bands that they inked that you or nobody else ever heard of. I’m not going to point fingers, I think there were a lot of factors that pointed against us, and I think the main one is that we got in the door a little too late. The year after the album came out, grunge hit the scene. Jani Lane from Warrant once famously said about how he knew that Warrant was over – when he walked into his record company and saw a picture of a grunge band hanging where his poster used to be. Poison hit it a couple of years before we did, or before Warrant did, and they dropped the make-up and glam imagery when it became passe. Just like the original glam phase in England in the early Seventies, it came and it went, and it took a few bands with it. I’m just thankful for the fact that more people want to see us play and that we haven’t been buried under the tombstone of any particular movement."
