3?aK Episode 39: Danny Stevens (The Audition)

Back in 2007, when I was the music writer for College Times, Kip Winger blew me off for an interview because he was on “vocal lockdown.” I didn’t want to see the questions I’d prepared go to waste, so for the next year, I asked everyone I interviewed if they’d be willing to get into character and answer the following “Three Questions as Kip.”

3?aK Episode 39: Danny Stevens (The Audition)

1. We've already seen disco and '80s synth pop make comebacks. Do you think a hair metal renaissance is right around the corner?

(laughs) Talk to “Metal Skool about that one. I don’t think so. I don’t see it happening. Halifax kinda tried and it didn’t work. I think that was just such an outrageous thing that, for whatever reason, people loved, but I don’t think it’ll happen again.

2. Can you let our readers in on your secret to maintaining the perfect 5 o'clock shadow?

Cocoa butter.

3. What have you been up to for the last 15 years?

Uh, lots of drugs, actually. I had a kid, started him on some drugs. It’s been great.
