 Metal-Temple.com's Grigoris Chronis recently conducted an in-depth
interview with the keyboardist/guitarist/vocalist/songwriter NEIL
CARTER (GARY MOORE, UFO, WILD HORSES) regarding the British musician's
past and present.
The following is an excerpt from the chat:
Q: In-depth: how did you feel when Gary Moore brought your
cooperation to an end, deciding to work in a more blues way on Still
Got The Blues? Or, he did propose to carry on working together and you
declined the offer?
A: "It sort of just stopped really. I had no idea
that the blues album would take off as it did and probably neither did
he. In hindsight he really had to do something new and I didn't know at
the time how discontented he was with what we were playing. And also I
had lost interest in the whole music business really, although I had no
idea what would come next... I had always imagined I would go into
producing but there we are. I was a bit 'raw' about it all for a few
years... a bit like when you break up with a lover and see them getting
on with their lives. It hurts but you know it is for the best."
Q: Really, are you in any kind of contact with him today? Would
you consider writing stuff again with Gary Moore, under any
circumstances?
A: "I see Gary quite a lot as his children are pupils at my
school! It is nice to see him and we have a real laugh about the old
days. I feel with Gary like a relation you see infrequently but always
have a deep bond with. It is inevitable having worked so closely with
him for such a long time, and I am very fond of him. The dynamic has
changed these days too as I can put him in 'detention' now!! As for
writing, that ship has definitely sailed!"
