Recent interview from Guitar World Magazine:
quote:
He's traveled across the 4th dimension to save planets as well as help determine the fate of the universe for centuries. Now he's traveling across the planet Earth from venue to venue to bring us his own eccentric brand of music. We happened to catch the Doctor before his show in New York.

How does it feel to be back out on your own?

Quite good, actually. It's been some time since I was last out on my own. Seems like I always end up tied to one or more other people whereever I go. It's rather nice to get out and do your own thing every once in a while.

What's been the fans' reactions to this?

It's mixed. There are some who didn't want to see the end of the band. They think it's the end of an era, and they just may be right. That music will never be the same again. But I felt it was time to start a new era, so to speak.

Then, there are the fans who couldn't be happier about the break up. Every night when my T.A.R.D.I.S. materializes on stage, they just roar with excitement. It's a great feeling to walk out on stage to that. They went crazy in London when one of my former regenerations showed up to back me up on his recorder. It's been a great time.

How do you react to Marc's recent court order to prevent you from playing the old material?

It's absolute rubbish. I wouldn't play that material if a Dalek commanded me at snout point to. I've moved past that stage. I'm on another path entirely in both music and my personal life. It's better left in the past.

Besides, this is just Marc trying to capitalize on what once was. Everyone else in the band has moved on. TK is in the studio as we speak. Disco Steve has started his own label and studio. The rest of the band members are forming their own groups. He's just trying to recapture the old thunder.

That's been his problem since the beginning. He's always been about the hype and not the music. We had to fight him tooth and nail to keep him from booking us as The Marc Campbell Quartet.

Why's that?

Well, because there were six of us, for one thing. Plus, it was supposed to be about the band and not just one person in it. That's what led to the break up. Mark kept swinging the attention to himself. The whole band worked our asses off to get where we were while he'd gotten into the habit of showing up to rehersals and recording sessions hours late. That just wasn't very respectful to the rest of us.

Oh, and if you do an interview with him, watch out. He might try and sell you one of his books.
