DAISYCUTTER : STAGE 3
 |
It was then that Shane Green, who
had recently left Nude Swirl, asked for the slot in Daisycutter."Nude Swirl had been signed to
MegaForce and had been featured on MTV’s Beavis and Butthead cartoon and they were
friends of ours, so when Shane asked us for the slot, we said "Welcome aboard!"
He had a hollowbody Gretch and a board covered in old stompboxes and started showing us
his riffs and it was real ferouscious stuff."
Shane Green’s arrival was followed by that of Chris Kosnik who had previously made his name in the band Godspeed. |
| "Chris was only
in the DAISYCUTTER for a short time. He was our rhythm guitarist with Shane handling the
lead work. Both of them were seasoned veterans of rock. They had toured the world and had
a lot of success, at least in comparison to most of the players out there, and they knew
how to play and write better than most, but the vibe wasn’t quite the same." DAISYCUTTER wrote and recorded another album of unreleased material and pitched it at Roadrunner. |

-- | "They were considering signing us, so we set up a showcase. Shane’s amp crapped out on the first song and there was no way we were going to impress the bureaucrats of A&R without a decent sound, so that opportunity went belly-up. Labels tend to remain guessing whenever they run into anything this odd. DAISYCUTTER was certainly no exception and it didn't really surprise any of us that they got cold feet at the last minute." |
"It’s my belief that Roadrunner was looking for the Truck Fist era of DAISYCUTTER and, although this new stuff was great, it wasn’t quite what they were expecting. The band had reinvented itself three separate times and it could never be the same." The band broke-up in 1995. |

"DAISYCUTTER had taken the mutant, noise-rock thing to the limit 3 times over. The genre was tapped out and we had explored all of it. There was no ground left to cover. It was time to kill the beast and be done with it." "DAISYCUTTER was named after a bomb. We made one hell of a bang and left a crater the size of Mars, and we lived up to the name. Mission accomplished." |
