Quotes on "Stare"

Med Siktet Innställt På Total Kontroll (MusikerMagasinet 1996, Swedish language)

It's a little surprising to see his name on records with groups like Level 42, Russian Gorky Park, and Krokus.

- I could never work as a studio musician. Such side projects have come about because I know these guys, and sometimes I have played on records as a thank you for helping me out. This is how it was with Gorky Park, they lent me the equipment to mix None Too Soon. As for Level 42, I filled a temporary vacuum. (Drummer) Gary Husband played with them, and when their guitarist died, I participated in a tour and a recording. I was definitely not the right man in the right place, but I cannot say I regret anything. Generally, it would have been more fun if one could have influenced the music to a greater extent, but I do that with my own compositions.
