Andrew McNiece Interview (part 1)
Editor's note: The following set of interviews were conducted by an online reporter after a prerelease version (or demo) of the upcoming Def Leppard cover songs album Yeah! was reviewed by Andrew McNiece of Melodic Rock. This caused a hubub over at DefLeppard.com because the review was very critical in some aspects. Joe Elliott then responded with what some described as unnecessarily harsh words towards Andrew McNiece. These interivews of both Andrew McNiece and Joe Elliott are archived here as part of the record. Unfortunately, I can't find a copy of the original Yeah! review by Andrew McNiece. If you have a copy of this review, please contact me.
Here are some of the questions that were asked to Andrew McNiece:
- "Being a music critic is sure to have it's advantages, so what are some of them besides getting to review some of the best selling albums out there?"
- Do you ever get positive or negative feedback from the bands you review? Aside from the obvious I mean.
- From what I can gather, you were sent a false track listing from the band themselves and it turns out to be false. This apparantly started some controversy between you and the band.
