HEAVY METAL NEW MUSIC

BY ALEX HENDERSON BY KAREN WOODS

IT’S A MOJO MEDIA BLACKOUT—or something like that, anyway. Two MOTHER LOVE BONE: There are some tragic ironies in the history of Mother weeks ago, we here at old Cash Box recieved a press release from Enigma about Love Bone. The band's individualistic metal/hard rock, which seems to be the flap over Mojo Nixon's track from the influenced by everyone from Led Zeppelin to Creedence Clearwater Revival, new Otis album called "Don Henley Must created a strong buzz in its native Seattle—leading to a deal with PolyGram Die." They had this big promotional thing Records that resulted in its debut EP, Shine. Investing some serious promotional planned (we have to call it a "promotional dollars in the band, PolyGram anticipated big things for its first full-length thing" because they asked us to please not album, Apple, which is scheduled for late-August release. But the band's lead mention anything about it, so we won't), then singer, Andy Wood, won't be around to share in its predicted success—he died scrapped it last week due to legal threats from a drug-releated death in March. a certain powerful record industry mogul. So, At this juncture, MLB's future is uncertain. The band hasn't officially broken as the second press release put it, "displaying up, but it's doubtful that MLB will record another album under that name. all the resolve of, say, Jordan's King Hussein, What may result is a band with a different name continuing to take an eclectic Enigma Records immediately pulled all approach to metal. During a recent interview in PolyGram's West Coast offices, promotional items, trade advertisements and band members Jeff Ament (bass) and Stone Gossard (guitar) discussed their video plans tied in with ["Don Henley Must hopes for the future, their Seattle roots and their reasons for remaining in the Die"] ." But don't think Enigma is rolling over Emerald City. and playing wimp because of legal threats.

CASH BOX: At this point, what is in the band's future? Quite the contrary. The single that will be released in place of "D.H.M.D." is "Destroy this point, our future's up in the air. We're just taking it day JEFF AMENT: At All Lawyers." You gotta love it. You really by day, Mojo Nixon gotta love it. Otis, by the way, was released on August 27. STONE GOSSARD: Well, we know that we're not gonna continue under the name Mother Love Bone. Whatever incarnation the band will take is still WE FINALLY GOT SOME RESPECT: Alternative music, the Rodney Danger- undecided. It's still undecided as far as who's gonna be playing together. For field of the industry, has gotten recognition as a genre from a rather unlikely sure, Jeff and I are gonna be playing togehter.

Some of the speakers Steve Gottlieb, president of TVT Records; John Malm, manager of Nine Inch Nails JA: We wouldn't feel right.

Everything was based on Andy's personality. Finding a new singer and calling wonder if those would apply to the poli sci degree I haven’t finished yet... ourselves Mother Love Bone wouldn't be a natural tiling. The natural thing to R.E.M.F.I.L.M. Warner Home Video will be releasing Tourfilm, an 84-minute do is... "cinematic documentary" of R.E.M.'s 1989 Green tour.

It'll be interesting to see Stipe and McKay founded two years ago. The film is scheduled for release in whomever we end up with. I think we'll know when it's right. late September.

CB: Listening to Apple, there seems to be a wide variety of influences. FUTURES: Nettwerk/Capitol will be releasing the new Skinny Puppy album in October. It's called Too Dark Park, and picks up where 1988's VIVISectVI left J A: I don't think there's any direct influences. We all listened to a lot of different off...

JA: My interpretation of what Stone was doing may have been different from Judging from the English press I've seen so far, it outta be a contender... Bruce's or Greg's or Andy's interpretation, and it ended up being something Stay tuned. mutated—a really crazy interpretation of something. I think that's the only way you can be at least semi-original. Stone may write a song and have a vision for it, and I may be thinking of something different.

CP: What impact has being based in Seattle had on your music?

SG: The fact that it's so isolated more than anything. It didn't seem like there were a lot of major influences, so our music kind of had a chance to brew and develop for a while. Being away from L. A. and New York, we didn't get caught up in the game.

CB: A lot of bands end up moving to L.A. or New York. What has kept you in Seattle?

JA: Seattle is part of what made the band unique. Every time I've come to L.A.,

I've had a hard time being creative in any respect. I feel really boxed in, confined when I'm here. It's kind of this fan tasyland where everyone's got a nice car and no one's being themself.

SG: We can be bums in Seattle and not feel self-conscious. Down here, you start feeling self-conscious. Am I very tanned? Is my car nice enough? You find Seattle, if have a shitty car, it's not that yourself thinking those things. In you Martin, HUNG UNDER: Faith No More’s brave three— (I to r) guitarist Jim big of a deal.
