I was able to ask Bob 1 ( guitarist from DEVO) a few questions...
1. Back in the day it took a band years to develop a fan base. Do you think programs like Spotify, Pandora, and downloadable music has help or hindered artists? B1- Both. Back in the day a band playing gigs and all their friends came to see them, and they brought their friends. It took a long time to break through internationally. Now people can just put a band together and just put crap on the internet and sometimes people can put stuff out that shouldn't even be playing, but it's also a lot easier to create a fanbase. 2. What bands/guitar players influenced you growing up? B1-Keith Richards, Pete Townsend, Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Jimmy Hendrix, and Jeff Beck 3. What is one thing people misunderstand about DEVO? B1-They think Devo doesn't have feelings. Devo has feelings too. 4. Zombie apocalypse scenarios are popular right now, but do you think one day the robots will get fed up and take over? B1-We can always hope so :-) 5. Do you see any of today's bands carrying on the Devo torch? B1-I hear different bands have different parts and sounds of Devo. Can't name any at the moment tho -Thanks again Bob 1 for this unconventional Q & A session-
