Praying Mantis Quotes

I was green as grass when I joined Mantis. I 'd had a little experience with Grand Prix. But it was only one album. I mean because it was half way through recording the 2nd album that I got the tin tack (fired)

Well I had always been a singer. I mean in all the little basement bands there has got to be someone who can open up their mouth a little bit. And that person has always been me. Even when I was 12 or 13 years old I had a little cheap Kent guitar and a gulotone (???) amplifier some would stick a microphone in front of me "You can sing". "Oh yeah OK". And we'd be doing old Yardbird stuff or Chicago stuff. The Hollies and Spencer Davies Group stuff. Going back a long way but it was something I didn't think about. "Singing? Yeah OK I can do that"
