HARD ROCK INTERVIEWS 2015 - MICK BOX - URIAH HEEP GUITARIST
THE MARCH AUSTRALIAN TOUR, AND SO MUCH MORE... JANUARY 2015 |
|
---|---|
Back in the day (and here we are talking the very birth of Rock as we know it) URIAH HEEP was one of the 'big four' along with Purple, Sabbath and Zeppelin. Though histories, legacies and recollections may have changed over the years the legacy of 'Heep is still strong, and for a band 'of a certain age' their most recent output is still stunningly consistent. Band founder Mick Box has been there all the way, and in my five years of interviewing everyone new and old on the scene you couldn't find a better bloke to chat with... |

Mark: Hi Mick, How are you? Thanks for taking the time to talk to us today.

Mark: That is exactly right, and the best thing for me is your last albums have been absolutely wonderful, you and Phil are writing some fantastic material, it’s hard to believe you’ve been writing that way since the 80's now! It’s a formidable song-writing partnership.
|
|
Mark: That’s great; I always like it when a band backs themselves rather than just rely on the back-catalogue, which must be a safe option; but with so many great new songs it’s great to see they have found a place in the set.

Mark: (apologies if it makes you feel old, but…) Few people have been around in the Rock scene for such a long time, decades and decades of change and fashions here one minute gone the nest – you’ve seen rock musicians come and go, but you have stayed the course, there must be a wonderful biography there waiting to be written have you ever considered putting pen to paper?
|
|
Mark: Taking it right back to the beginning, what was it that made you pick up that guitar in the first place?
