I had the pleasure of talking to Robert Sweet on Monday the 10th of January, 2000. Robert's record company, World Gone Mad, has been keeping him really busy with special engagements and appointments.
As a matter of fact, this interview was originally to take place on 12/10/99, but had to be re-scheduled a few times for obligations that World Gone Mad committed Robert to at the last minute. Despite Robert's busy schedule we finally hooked up and he shared his heart and gave some insight on his first solo release album, "Love Trash".
He's Not Dead is the title track from SinDizzy's debut album (An excellent band which include former Stryper members, Oz Fox Tim Gaines)
The Interview
Robert: Yeah my Record Company is called World Gone Mad, and I'm their first artist, so there's a lot of times where things will happen spur of the moment and this was one of those things. Sometimes it doesn't leave me a lot of time to maneuver and figure out what I'm gonna do.
Dano: Right...
Robert: But I'm glad it worked out anyways.
Dano: Amen
NOTE...The preceding was about it took a long time to get together for this interview. His Record Company had arranged some spur of the moment engagements that postponed this, and it would have been delayed again tonight because World Gone Mad had arranged another last minute appointment.
Dano: Well...So you're their first artist, huh?
Robert: Yes
Dano: Cause I was gonna say, I never heard of that Record Company before.
Robert: Yeah, they're brand new.
Dano: OK, and they are putting out your new CD "Love Trash"?
Robert: Yes
Dano: All right, well tell me a little bit about the CD Robert. Is it out yet?
Robert: All the recording is done. What I did is... I went in and I only had a week to record. I played all the...A lot of people just view me pretty much as a drummer...I'm just as much of a song writer as I am a drummer. Most people never really knew that. On this record I wrote it all, I produced it, I played all the guitars, all the bass, all the drums, and I brought in a singer to sing the stuff. I was going to try to sing it myself, but I found myself in an impossible situation of way too much to do. If you can imagine doing in one week 8 drum tracks, 8 bass tracks, and 48 guitar tracks.
