1) When/how did you first meet Gene? I first met Gene when we were tracking our first album in ‘93 at the Green Room. I had seen Adam Again a few times before that, but never had talked to him. He would come in here and there to listen to stuff… I just thought...
1) How did you first meet Gene? I first met Gene at the Green Room. We had gone over there to do some recording, pre-Aunt Bettys stuff, he was the engineer and I knew he was in Adam Again. Yeah, I just met him through Michael (Knott) and recording at the Green Room. 2)...
1) When/how did you first meet Gene? I probably met Gene sometime in ’85. Our debut album had done well and our record label – in the form of one guy, Harry Barnes – was looking to expand on his initial success with us. Harry gave me a tape of some mixes of this...
1) When/how did you first meet Gene? I first met Gene when The Violet Burning opened for Adam Again in Ontario, CA. But, we didn’t really start becoming friends until years later, after the Adam Again “Dig” recording, which had become a favorite of ours to listen to while on tour. Gosh, what a...
1) When/how did you first meet Gene? The Choir was playing a show in Southern California along with some of our other So Cal friends in the early 1980’s. Gene was mixing for Undercover that night. I remember seeing him running around dealing with the sound and helping them get set up. He was...
1) When/how did you first meet Gene? I met Gene when I answered an ad in the Recycler magazine in the Chino/Pomona area. The ad read “6 piece dance type band needs a drummer”. I auditioned with several other guys. I thought the audition went well, but I found out later that Gene did...
1) When/how did you first meet Gene? When he asked me at a gig why I had signed Sincerely Paul. 2) What projects were you involved in with him? Too many to count. 3) How do you think Gene impacted the music scene? He knew how to record and bring the life from his...
Gene Eugene… I was never fortunate enough to see him live. I never saw The Lost Dogs when Gene was with them, nor was I ever able to see Adam Again play live. Nevertheless, Gene had an incredible impact on my life through his music, through his frailty and brokenness, and through the countless...
1. When/how did you first meet Gene? Pretty early in the eighties but I don’t remember where or when. Most likely 1980-81 and something around a Boaz, JC Rose, Undercover or Lifesavors gig at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, or around Whitefield studios as those were my hangouts then. I know it was before Adam...
by Steve Ruff; photos by Roger’s daughter Mad At The World: I know you remember these guys. For me, back in the 80’s and early 90’s, there was not too much that compared to them. I absolutely loved the record Seasons of Love; that was what turned me on to Roger and Randy Rose’s...
