What was so bad about the gas tank gig that made you want to split?
Have you ever seen inside a gas tank? It was all metal and disgusting. We’d been banging our head against a brick wall for a couple of years and thought our moment was gone. Then Pete Watts contacted Bowie to see if he could get the bass gig for David’s band. He was after a new job. When David heard that we were going to split he flipped –he said, “You can’t do that, let me sort something out.”
What did David see in Mott?
