![]() ![]() So, thank you U-2 for stealing our stuff (laughs). He says once he listened to what we were doing he picked it up and enhanced it into U-2 stuff. U-2 was kind of…Ī: Well, if you read (U-2 guitarist) the Edge’s book, he actually says he got his sound from listening to us. We had never heard anything like it in the early 80s. Even in our first few months together, we were developing our own look and our own sound. Once we got into that a little bit, it became more about writing songs of our own than trying to sound like other bands. I actually used to like the sound of it out of tune because I could write songs that were different. It took me about a year to learn how to tune a guitar. I’d look up on stage and go ‘I could do that.’ I got with my brother (Ali Score) and he said ‘oh, I’d like to be a drummer.’ I got with a couple of friends (including Paul Reynold on guitar and Frank Maudsley on bass) and we started jamming. I got talking to them and started to go see them play live. So, when I got into hairdressing, people from bands would come in and want hair colors and stuff like that. So, I’d be riding around, singing along, delivering papers. I used to have a little transistor radio on my bike blasting out the top 40 and stuff. Question: How did you go from being a hairdresser to a musician and recording artist?Īnswer: I’ve always been interested in music even when I used to do my paper route when I was about (age) 12. The interview has been edited for length and clarity. This week Mike Score spoke with the Trib in a video chat from Philadelphia. A Flock of Seagulls is on a tour that brings them to Jergel’s Rhythm Grille on Wednesday. ![]()
