September 7, 2015, 8 years ago
Jimmy Kay and Alan Dixon of Canada's The Metal Voice recently spoke to Y&T frontman Dave Meniletti; a couple of excerpts follow:
On Ozzy Osbourne begging Dave Meniketti to join his band after the passing of Randy Rhoads - “We were playing with AC/DC in 1982 and the last show in The UK, Ozzy was waiting for us as we got off stage and he was there with Sharon. And Ozzy got down on his knees in front of me, of course the band members standing only a few feet away, did the up and down thing with the hands in the air, 'please join my band.' It was something to be proud of, but I kindly declined. I got my own fish to fry, but I appreciate the offer.”
On the road map and release date for a new Y&T album - "We need to have time off from the road to spend two or three months straight so we can sit down and concentrate on writing for the next record. That is gonna happen next year. We are going to spend a good period of time off the road and just finish this record and try to get something done by the end of 2016."
