"Innerview" with Trevor

[luckeydoug1]

I hope this is not a rehash of old news but I just found this link to a very insightful interview at Innerviews:Music without Borders entitled Capturing Adrenaline by Anil Pradad (c)2004. Trevor discusses his past present and future. I found it very interesting and informative. http://www.innerviews.org/inner/rabin.html

I've read that interview before, but I'm sure many Trevor fans here haven't, so thanks for providing the link. One of my favorite stories about Trevor is mentioned in this particular interview.


Was it a vicarious experience to create the soundtrack for the movie Rock Star?

[laughs] It’s funny you ask that, because at the very start of the movie, there was a bunch of people at a show and the replacement singer comes on and they hold up a banner saying “Bring back Bobby Beers,” who was the original singer. That brought back memories of my first couple of Yes shows where there were people with signs saying “Bring back Steve Howe.”

My approach to dealing with that was different to Mark Wahlberg’s. He stuck his finger up and sprayed them with water. By the end of the show, they were sufficiently impressed or happy and tore up the banner and threw it on stage.

I had the same experience. I didn’t put up my finger to anyone, but played as well as I could and at the end of it, they also tore up the banner and threw it onstage. So, it was an interesting similarity. The film also captured the adrenaline you have backstage before the show. It reminded me of what I wasn’t doing anymore.


I remember because I was at the very first show Trevor did with Yes. :D
