Questionnaire Hey Boz. I just want to say that the Polecats are one of my all time favorite bands, and that your guitar playing has influenced me greatly. One of my favorite Polecats songs is "Headless Horseman" and i just wanted to ask you what the chords are for that song. I would love to cover it someday. Anyway, I hope to see you live sometime soon. Take care. "hi, it was one of the later polecats songs , the intro is based around G7-C E7-Am then the verse is C Am C Am and then maybe Dm E Dm E the chorus is C -G Am -E C-G E7 Am something like that, we never played it live, it was a long time ago!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Whats your best song you ever wrote? And what is you favorite song to perform live and will you be playing it at the shows in L.A.? I love you Boz you rock, Lisa "I suppose Moz-wise it would be Jack The Ripper, Now My Heart Is Full, The More You Ignore Me , Polecat-wise Marie Celeste, solo-wise Save Me A Stool At The Bar, all of which have at some time been played by me during a solo show" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ How did your nickname Boz come about? And who, if not yourself, gave you such a moniker? "Nick Cregor at school when I was 10 , if I had any sandwiches left in my lunch box the vultures would pounce and he made the name up whilst trying to liberate a cheese roll out of my lunchbox. It was actually bozzy boy but it quickly got abrieviated to Bozzy, then Boz" -------------------------------------------------------- Can you list any current rockabilly bands that are on the top of your list to keep an eye and an ear out for? Enquiring minds want to know. Thanks and I'll be seeing you at the gigs. Carry on! Cheers...Doug "loads of great bands in the States like Lloyd Tripp's band, Sweden has Jack Baymore. Haven't really been out to see any new bands but I'll be at the Rockabilly Rave in a few weeks and I'm sure there'll be a couple there" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Who's idea was it for the T.Rex song on the "Kill Uncle tour" and why Cosmic dancer? Anymore in the pipeline ? ian t. "During rehearsals for the first tour Moz bought the Born To Boogie video and we watched it a few times. The idea was Morrissey's and it was natural to do it as we liked the acoustic live version off of the film, hadn't really thought of doing anymore although I did Telegram Sam at an acoustic show on Sunday, just an acoustic and piano, that was quite fun" -------------------------------------------------------- Its been several years now since there has been any fresh material, when do you think that a new album will be coming out? (approximately) Also what direction will the band's sound be going in? ian tivendale "very hard to say even approximately, there is no record deal , and the sound tends to take it's own direction while we're doing it. Southpaw started off very acoustic , ended up quite progressive" -------------------------------------------------------- Favorite T-Rex song? "Get It On, the first I bought" -------------------------------------------------------- How did you meet your wife? "She started coming to Polecat gigs and it went from there!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boz, First of all, I want to express how much of an influence you have been on my life as a musician/guitar player, I can't wait to see you in LA. My question is: Do you as a writer, ever get writer's block and if so, how do you overcome it? "yes I think that's quite common, I'll change the surroundings or try writing on a different instrument or listen to some very varied kind of music, that kind of thing , usually does the trick" PS: My Fiance and I are going to name our first two children Martin and Lynn.....God Bless!! :o) "I hope they're both boys!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Who would you consider to be the best guitarist alive today(excluding yourself)? thanks, richard "very difficult , can't really answer, greatest innovator , probably Les Paul, greatest technical player for me? dunno!" -------------------------------------------------------- Favorite city to perfom in? eric t. "LA, New York , Tokyo" -------------------------------------------------------- Hello Boz. You're the best. You played here in Estadio Chile, with Morrissey about 2 years ago, and it was very nice. Would you come someday again? (alone or with the bands you're playing), "I'd love to , I enjoyed South America very much , The kids in Chile were great, very appreciative, and knowledgable about their music"
