20 QUESTIONS WITH…

Joey C. Jones

Crabtree Singer Joey C. Jones

Now you might be saying, “Who the fuck is Crabtree?”  Or maybe some of you are even saying, “Who the fuck is Joey C. Jones?”  Well slapnutz, Joey use to be the singer for the band Sweet Savage way back in the day, which Dana Strum produced.  He also sang for C.C. DeVille for a while, he then formed Joey C. Jones and The Gloryhounds, and now he has a new band called Crabtree.  So Joey’s been around for a while and knows a lot of people.  Crabtree even sent us 2 CDs and they are actually pretty good.  We usually hate everything, but their CD is better than a lot of shit that’s currently out.  So we thought we’d ask Joey 20 Questions to find out what he’s been up to.

1. What are you currently up to?  This is the only chance to plug your websites, albums, tours, etc. 
Currently playing regionally in Dallas based band Crabtree. Our debut self-titled album was released in the summer of 1999, and is available online at www.cdbaby.com. You can also check out our website at www.intplsrv.net/crabtree.

2. Who are you anyway, and why should our Sludgeaholics know you?
Lead singer of Sweet Savage, Shock Tu, Joey C Jones and the Gloryhounds,  Needle Park, and now Crabtree

3. What hard rock/heavy metal band should give it up and call it a day?
Slaughter


Christopher Torok, Adam Hamilton, C.C. DeVille, and Joey C. Jones in Needle Park, 1992.

4.  You obviously formed Joey C. Jones & The Gloryhounds. Was this because you wanted to be the star of your own group?
Because I was the star of my own group!

5.  You sang for C.C. DeVille in Needle Park after he quit Poison.  Tell us what it was like to work with him and who was in that group with you guys?
He’s more talented than people think and he gave me a lot of money.  Then I stole his band and formed The Glory Hounds

6. Going back a bit farther what happened to Pal Joey? This was one of your bands from Hollywood right? 
Yes it was. It was just a side project from “Sweet Savage” in Hollywood.

7. OK, a bit further now. Sweet Savage was a really pop/glam/rock/metal band in the mid 80s. You guys had an E.P. that got released in some foreign countries that Dana Strum produced, what happened with that record deal?
We got world wide distribution and local airplay. The band had too many egos and broke up before anything happened beyond a regional level.

8. We’ve heard horror stories from bands/musicians who have crossed paths with Dana Strum. Was he a shit talking, back stabbing creep back in the day with you guys?  Did he ruin Sweet Savage? 
He didn’t follow through with a lot of things but cant be blamed for the breakup of Savage.

9.  You played Hollywood a lot and probably knew a lot of bands too.  What bands became successful that you thought would’ve never made it? And who didn’t make it that you were sure would hit the big time?
I was surpised when Warrant and Poison made it but was happy that they found success. Angora should have made it I thought, that was John Corabi’s band.
