Pat Mastelotto Quotations

Sorry, no, I'm never satisfied with my drumming.

I like tinkering with the tribe beat boxes and love using Reason as a beefed up beat box.

We're looking to help our guitar buddies do their thing while at the same time we try to create something we might enjoy listening to ourselves. If anything we are trying to develop a vocabulary so we can converse more fluidly.

I don't know of any plans to remaster the Mr Mister catalog.

I like almost everything, even country twang, disco, blue grass and accordions.

I love to play with Tony and Bill anytime, anywhere.

I think basically lables were more interested in a Richard Page record than a Mr. Mister record.

My roots are more in he Beatles, Zeppelin, the whole 60's side.

Not really, drums found me, I just liked music, all kinds of music.

If Bill jumps into something that relies on a lot of cymbals, I'll jump into something that relies on a lot of skin sounds; if he goes into metal tones, I'll go into wood, and so on. I basically play in his holes.

We have a very loyal fan base, the kind tat buys the record the day it comes out, sees every show, and that's fantastic, but what about the people who would never hear about our band?

Here's the exact date: The day I got word we were dropped by the label was on Monday 25th September 1990, a year later than I remembered!

After I helped on P4 mixing and saw how things were being done I offered to take care of Project 3, and on it went from there. Plus I'm way cheap.

After Crimson finished in 1996 and I returned home I went in search of education to address several of my many musical weaknesses.

I remember a West Coast run with Madness and another with Adam Ant, later a long run through the Midwest with Berlin and a few gigs with Eurythmics.
