Direct to fan? I think Andy Taylor gets it.
 
Riding the sweet sugar high that one can only get from birthday cake, Andy spent six hours today answering your questions on Twitter. All filters were off as he answered 168 different questions that came directly from fans. Topics ranged from Reportage to kids n’ dogs to Duran Duran and exciting new collaborations. And he’s not stopping there… Andy had such a blast he’s already making plans for the next “tweetfest.”
 
Just in case you missed this party, here’s a full transcript of all the questions answered. And of course, you can tweet Andy any time at @andytaylor_tv.

I was with Luke a few days ago talking about what we could do next…
@monksy68 whats the one thing you need backstage before a concert .?

Backstage you need lots of space to calm yourself down while everybody else is running round like crazy people

I watched my first Geordie shore with my daughter a few weeks ago – not many Geordies I know with sun tans like that

I think its tragic about Whitney but televising her funeral – hmm

@suzannej3 Toothbrushes: electric or acoustic?

Hand held toothbrush for god sake

@Taberock Andy any unreleased power station material? 11300 US Hig

I don’t think there’s any unreleased powerstation material, maybe some jams and out takes, on 2″ tape – somewhere

@julesbirdie What attracted you to Ibiza?

WE like Ibiza because the postman don’t wake you up & the vibe is chilled, very chilled & the sunshine…

@lisalovesjtDo you ever listen to old DD stuff and think “Damn I was a Bad Ass!”

Every time I listen to the first DD albums I never feel they sound dated – I think that was something we were conscious of…

@jtschauffeur what’s your take on these musical reality tv shows?

Music in reality shows is anything but reality – but hey theyre TV shows & if it works on that level then okay

@NicU72 have you ever been to any afterhour parties in Ibiza ?

After hours parties in Ibiza were banned a few years ago – we had a complaint last summer threat of €30,000 fine – music offff

@Therumrunner5 What do you miss most/least about touring?

I do miss touring – only recently started thinking about it again – just need a band, small problem to overcome!!!

@lisabarber if u could relive part of your life and change something. What would you change and why?

Often get asked about change but the chaos of life is what makes it interesting, so I would change nothing – nada

@jtschauffeur is there anywhere in the world you haven’t been to that you’d love to visit?

I have never been to China – I guess you have to go there, the postcards look thrilling – Never been to Russia

@esther_dd when you give a performance do you play some old dd songs or powerstation songs? just curious

The last time I played was a few months ago with an acoustic & no particular set order, fun but loose

@RADIUM_X Hows your hand healing up?

My hand is fine – no more DIY for me

There are to many to fit in one lift – Johnathon Ross, although he’s quite funny, Ben Elton, talk the hind legs of a donkey

@DailyDuranie when you last toured, did you prefer large venues over the smaller?

i like a mixture of venues, I really liked the Roxy – Vegas – Outdoor july 2003 shows [think it was july]

@nlduranie are Geordie peeps extra warm blooded? I saw locals walking without a jacket when temperature was just above zero!!!

Geordies never feel the cold because we are dead hard, theres hard then there’s Middlesbru’

If I had the choice- I guess I do the the studio is what I love, never knowing what you may have by the end of the day

@PeterBlueSilver.

I do like playing festivals, there less bullshit, on, off drinkies home. festival crowds are usually right up for it

My advice with the pork pie is to smuther it with English mustard & then hurl at the nearest keyboard player.

70′s bands – Mott the Hoople – Bowie & the Spiders – Slade – Sabbath – UFO – The Faces – Stones – Punk – Pistols

@Gaztee72 how good could the abandoned DD album Reportage have been? And why did u not step in to produce it?

I don’t think any member of DD can produce DD, just to strong on an individual level – need a ringmaster or producer

@RasmusJohansso7 You should really record an acoustic album with Andy Taylor/Power Station Stuff!!!!

Ide like to put together another Powerstation line-up – tough one but totally possible…

@Alienashun do u swim/snorkel/dive or just happy with a cocktail and a sun lounger?

Anything that involves putting your head under water I avoid – I do some boxing training from time to time – tough work

@LouisahT JT’s written a book.. do you think there will there be any juice about you in it?

I heard about JT’s book – we shall see – first problem is one has to remember shit & there;s plenty grey areas

@GiPiZone Do you like Mark Ronson?

I think Mark Ronson is a very talented chap & obviously knows his recording science…

@ladygrinning Honestly, what was it like meeting Bowie? I think you mentioned being starstruck in your book.

Meeting Bowie – not as interesting as watching him perform

@hegspill who would you like in a new powerstation lineup??

New PS line-up… Dave Grohl & Tommy Lee 2 drummers to fill Tony Thompson booties

@kayrenB2B at what moment in your life so far have you been happiest?

One of my happiest moments was when I realised I hadn’t walked in front of that bus I didn’t see coming…

@doggieallen Andy when are you next planning a gig?

I would like to start gigging again this summer – still seeking a few things to make it happen – but the bug is back

@Tin_Hotha do you still have troubles with overzealous fans?

Only with their pet beavers & ferrel rodents

@esther_dd which venue would you love to play here in Holland?

Paradiso is still one of my best DD gig memories

@RCBHenwood ever considered a collaboration with any know Spanish artists ?

Javier Vargas is playing slide guitar on a track on the album, he’s bad assed, love watchin’ him play blues

@tjhornbeck What’s your “go to” guitar? Effects? Amp? Thick & chunky? Bright & whispy? I guess it really depends on one’s mood.

Of late Ive used an SG custom – Blackstar amps – souped up Tele – AC30 – shitty little fender thing amp & Waves efx

@MoonKat69 what makes u happy in the here and now?

Happiness – friends – food – beers – bifta

@ChocoTzar DD The Movie… Who’d play you?

DD the movie – who would be AT – A younger Mickey Rouke

@TawneB Would you & the family ever consider doing a reality show? I think it would be so much better than Ozzy’s

Imagine getting set up like Ozzy – My family would be to funny – 3 daughters – I couldn’t film it – no Taylor reality shows

@Duranice What was your real intention when you decided to create a website and twitter account?

The thing you begin to appreciate is that at 50 years old the net can keep you connected to fans you would have lost – good

@shippcm Hi Andy – did you get more satisfaction from working with the Power Station than Duran Duran?

Satisfaction depends on what bit of the work you are doing, all my experiences have been pretty bloody satisfying…

@the2teas what do you miss most (if anything) about living the UK?

I miss my old family, mainly deceased and the village we first grew up in & the beer & Greggs pasties

@GeorgiaBowring Did you enjoy recording your own version of Lola? Xx

I always thought I sang Lola in to high a key, its an octave up & needed a few brandies to get there …

@jtschauffeur Do you feel people want you to trash Duran?

It was always a feature of DD getting trashed by the trash,even if at times DD is it’s own worst, the press are tossers

@iris_makoto an advice to choose and accoustic guitar for an almost beginner

A good acoustic guitar is a Gibson 160e – John Lennon style

@Queenofthe80s any cover you would like to do still?

Ive covered a Free song which I was surprised at how okay the vocal sounds, Careful Paul Rodgers was here …

@Pollyward69 apart from your Mrs T, whose your favourite DD wife, past or present?

My fav DD wife – now that’s shaky ground, how can a man answer that one… They are all very unique & part of the story

@Marinadazzaland are there any musicians living or past you would liked or still like to collaborate with?

There’s still plenty of people who would be interesting to work with – Im looking at guitar jam things at the moment

@BackstageRider What new bands are you fancying these days?

Bands are getting scarce, need labels to sign more otherwise we will run out soon – Ting Tings are interesting outfit

@fabihbt yee i am not the only one that doesn`t get an answer yeeee

Ive never seen so many questions in one sitting its like a CIA superhuman test thing …

@mzlunatx we r having a dd convention in Sept hopefully. If u were able to would you consider attending?

I saw about the DD convention, I don’t have a problem but think as I’m not in the band it would provoke some negative !!!

@allegra0 how’s the cake?

Soon I will be having a cake break – a sugar feast with a cuppa Yorkshire Gold

@ElaineMcKlingon Have you considered entering into politics? You’d be a great PM.

If politics was local then yes it might be interesting but the 2 party top-toffs system can kiss my Geordie arse…

@digmuzak any thoughts to reissuing “Thunder” in the US with bonus/leftover tracks?

Thunder is about to be reissued on CD & Vinyl – so yes I thought it was about time myself

@lidilovesmusic you’re reading all the messages that arrive?
Its impossible to read them all, I’m trying – but a bit overwhelmed at how many there are !!!

@kevinmoviebuff Which record label will it be released by?

I’m not releasing on a record label – doing things totally independently – lots of work but freedom

@MrJsEnasni Is there any guitar player or band of this new generation that you like?

John Mayer can play thats for sure

@Dean_Major why did Le Bon always do his own backing vocals on the records? Seems a shame as you have a great voice.

Simon had a very unique way of putting harmony together so he did his own, I did do BV’s on Reflex & Is there Something?

@ZoeyCharles7 Any genres of music that you cannot stand? Country? Bluegrass?

Andrew Lord Bloody Webber … Ehh, don’t get it

Blyth my dad had a girlfriend from Blyth…

@digmuzak thoughts on RRHOF? Would u attend if DD inducted?

I’m not that into RRHOF – anyway that lot will never put DD in… And they should with or without me

@Cheriqui Any instrument that you CAN’T play that you’d like to learn? How many instruments can you play well?

Ide like to play piano better – not good at blowing things, hitting & strumming, physical rhythm instruments

@ninia_posh Andyy…can you wish me luck?, i give an exam and im nervous

Good Luck

@jtschauffeur What advice to have for parents to get their kids interested in learning to play music, instruments?

Probably never been tougher to make a living from music, even though its looks like there’s plenty there’s not

@jigglytuffy You probably won’t see this, but thanks for taking the time to do things like this, honestly.

Pleasure my friend

@KristinaPod how much of your cake is left?

100% cake intact – Im going for a cake break in 3 mins… need the sugar high

@LHayes86 Do you have an alloted amount of time you plan to do this Q&A?

Im planning on running for a few more hours – going to take a wee break now but be back in 10-15 mins – CAKE … Nothing like a sugar hit if you have to have one …

@iris_makoto Did you learn playing guitar on your own

I learnt guitar mainly self taught, & gained some very cunning insights from my mentor Dave Black of Cullercoats

@nlduranie anything missing in your life, or fully happy now?

Grandchildren HAHAHA

@nlduranie yeah! A nice young grandpa! Full of energy!

Ive warned mine, none of that grandfather shit yet…

@nlduranie answering questions randomly or only the ones you like to answer? Just asking! Lol

I’m randomly answering the one’s I like … Trying to be open minded !!!

@alybear72 are you surprised at how many DD fans are still loyal to you and the band at the same time?

I have to say the DD fans are a remarkable bunch, there’s only a handful of bands with that – Oh Yes I GET IT !!!

@janthefan do you remember a UK band called Loud. My mate Ricky was the drummer and said to say hi. So hi!

I remember Loud – say hi to him…

@OktoberBaby67 do you have a favorite place to travel since you live in Paradise??!

I do like to travel to NYC – But yeah you can get a bit lost in Ibiza, there’s folks who have never left the island

@Jonfromspenny Would you rather have been in the biggest band in the world in the 80′s or now?

The 80′s were all about large, & the pop format was more original, pop used to be a beautiful word- 80′s were nutty

@GlamsterSarah If a fan recognised you in the street randomly, would you rather they didn’t bother you or politely requested an autograph? x

I’m very incognito about town, and I walk fast so stopping me is a challenge, wife gets pissed cause I trot off …

@MrJsEnasni How do you feel about the fact that most of films on cinemas are 3D now?

I went 3D few months ago – when I came out felt like I was on Acid – from 3D to Westfield bustle ?

@mzlunatx Ok so was anything said about his new stuff and what he has been working on?

Ahh – New stuff… Well now I’m independent I can do things differently – still have to make exceptional music but no label

@Carlos2675 Andy u play the chauffeur amazingly!! Best song in the world! But what’s it about really?

I have no idea what the Chauffeur is about, none at all – I always liked the LeDarkone’s original idea, Moseley demo

@MsTaylorMorley What kind of dye do you use? I could seriously do with a tip. :)

I use whatever looks about right at the time, as long as the grey don’t show to much we be good …

@Comedyrockpop Come on hubby is intrigued, your fav Sabbath song/album???

Sabbath – War Pigs – Paranoid, early teenage guitar riff

@duranstarr What do you prefer CD or Vinyl and why?

I love listening to half inch 2 track tape – I don’t play Vinyl much & mainly listen to audio in the studio, hi end

@KristinaPod what was the last song you strummed on your guitar?

Last thing I played was – Runnin back to You – Sam Cooke version

@ddtelevision what’s the most exicting thing about Q&A on the Twitter?

I guess it’s my first time so I would say amazing how many different questions & how screwed up Twitter can get

@irishrover85 When you fully release Motherlode will you release it through the website or I-Tunes ?
@NewMoon7609 when is Motherlode coming out??? I’m so impatient!!! :)

Ive just finished mixing up to track 9 so only 2 more to finish … The very lonley business of solo

@joneesuz are all these PORN BOTS trying to follow you, too? Annoying little shits…

The words porn & bots are better left separated

@Duranice What´s your opinion about downloads on the net? Can they damage an artist?

I think downloading is only part of it much more disturbing is the lack of originality or support of artists by labels

@duranstarr Aa vinyl enthusiast tho, would love your new album on vinyl, so will it come out on vinyl?

Yip definitely doing a limited amount of vinyl of new album, love 12″ sleeves, so great to design in that format …

@lisalovesjt I’m never getting any work done today with online! Not that I’m complaining… :)

If I can add to the nations loafing then my work is worthy…

@joolseyjools have you heard that the sign at St. James’ Park came down yesterday?? thoughts??….

Nothing sacred – St James RIP…

@LordofFuck where can i get a vinyl copy then????

All copies of new album formats will be available directly from yours truly, using the Topspin platform

@sweetsunshine40 when did you realize you wanted to become a musician?

I decided to be a musician when I was about 7-8 years old…

@AngelaCC1 Are you still involved with Thunder (group not album!)? What do you think of The Union?

The kid Peter can sing that’s for sure – Thunder no longer exist save the odd festival …

@MrJsEnasni Gibson, BC Rich, Fender, Ibanez or Gretsch electric guitar? attv

I go between allsorts – I don’t care what it is if it works, sort of got to the point where I can play any one of 10…

@julesbirdie I think you have broken any record that JT may have had for tweeting the longest! The fans are loving you, thank you. x

What’s the record – I could always out drink JT

@duranstarr Can I ask again please is there an official AT fan club? Would like one if there isn’t x

There will be a kind of fanclub, we are working on a DTF model that is similar to that – there’s a ton of scope online

@ben1987 Some people seem to get the impression that DD ‘ripped off’ Japan’s look & sound. What are your thoughts on this?

Japan were a big influence on DD some more than others but for sure we consumed a few influences

@NewMoon7609 thank you for hanging out with us! U really are GREAT!!! :D

This has been an absolute blast – never imagined so many people would be around – technology, brings you back

@Nun_Yo_Business is there any guitar players living or passed away who you would have liked to have played with or have played with.

Gary Moore, I would have loved to have been humbled by the most amazing of technicians…
@lisalovesjt I keep smiling at the screen! Hope my boss doesn’t catch me!

I hope they do ha ha & it my fault so blame me, what’s their name we can tweet if they gives you shit

@ben1987 Thanks for your reply. It’s great that you’re willing to connect with the fans in this way :-)

Quite seriously why talk to journalists when you can talk direct – just so much more stimulating that last centuries hacks

@neuroticbaby Is there any chance we have one day your unreleased solo album ‘Nobodies Business’ ?

I think I’m gonna keep that one in the freezer

@lebonrose so is it better to be in a band you think?

I’m a band man – solo is to much fcckin work – and makes you go schizoid at times – conversing with myself

@DailyDuranie we’ve definitely not forgotten you. I hope this makes you feel good about continuing on – you’re loved! :)

Very good about many things – that was a very nice blog you wrote yesterday – thanks [$$$ is in usual place]

@ManuSsn so you have to find “a band”

I’m band-less which is a lot less painful than say haemorrhoids [I'm told]

@bluesilver007 How’s that abandoned dog you rescued awhile back doing? Are you a dog lover?

The abandoned dog was safely homed with a reputable German agency – they have good dog laws in Germany

@MrJsEnasni When you’re on the studio do you hear other artist’s music or do you need to keep yourself in your own thing?

Sometimes you listen to other artists in the studio for err… Inspiration but mainly in your own world/head space

@siggy_stardust there seem to be any bad vibes between you and JT?

There’s absolutely no bad vibes between me & JT

@johnnybeane Don’t know if anyone has asked this yet but what’s your favorite guitar at the moment? & u still play that black tele?

Had this SG custom – Blackstar amp full Angus …

@cloudofutopia Wow, this is a marathon session! You have some stamina!

WE are crossing the Atlantic time wise should be in NYC by about 9pm UK time

@LordofFuck bad vibes between yu and NR?

No bad vibes between me & NR – just no vibes but nothing bad in the air, moved past that…

@kimMpaterson lifes to short Andy for bad vibes, you seem to be in a good place xx

Yes life’s to short & unless you let go you never release the energy & let life happen

@Cheriqui Alright doll I gotta ask…What`s with the sunglasses all the time?

Sunglasses, I once sold a house to Roy Orbison, never took them off since – okay used to be a stoner…

@JoeD_SanDiego A good journalist will prepare, research and ask unique questions that can interest new and non-fans.

I agree, a good journalist would so maybe I shouldn’t tar all with the same brush – but good is hard to find

@BrunoLeslie Will you convince Nick to get a twitter or make him a twitter.

I can’t ever imagine NR on Twitter – just can’t see it – sorry … I think you all understand

@GeorgiaBowring I hope accepts the invite to DD convention xx

I will seriously think about it & converse with the posse – just don’t want to be the “Cliff Barnes” of it all

@irishrover85 when you recorded the song “Choices” were you listening to David Bowie ?

Choises – Bowie – you bet !!!

@jonmhowells Andy, you said to me a few years back you’d like to produce Oasis. Too late now, but still fancy working with them?

Producing Oasis – Ding Ding… Corners away – Lawyers please – fookin singers shite … Could anyone produce Oasis now

@Duranice When you decided to write a book was it a way to tell to everyone the true history about DD behind the scenes?

The book was my only means of explaining my side of events vrs Sony e tall & a superficial media… No money in it .

@KristinaPod at the risk of sounding stupid ’cause it’s probably been asked 100x’s…but thoughts on Glee singing DD songs.

Glee did DD songs, where can I see that ?

@justkirstenw Don’t know if somebody asked that already, what did you get your wife for V-day, flowers? #att

gave her a huge dollop of hormonal patience … Love is understanding the female cycle otherwise man you are screwed

@LuvDuranDuran if you could would you go back to the 80′s?

If could I would go back to the 60′s – It was always a facination for me, the birth of UK pop music…

@MoonKat69 Im sick as a dog today Andy.Fever spiking at 102.3. NOT making it up..Would love a virtual Hug..any chance of one?

Get well & take medication with codine

@mzlunatx what do you think of all of us grown women still getting worked up over you?

I would say don’t grow up – I try not to, kids get pissed but hey I can still get up the hill the fastest…

I’m going to travel down the stairs to the kitchen make a cuppa & a sarnie but I will be back in 15 or so…

@PeterBlueSilver Many of the early DD B-sides are “cult”,that must be koolish to know?

I guess artists took pride in their B-sides, part of the format those extra tracks are long forgotten by acts today

@Big80sFan Sorry I missed your twitterthon. Hope I’m not too late. My question is do you ever see yourself playing in the states?

I would for sure like to play in the states again, I’m hoping with this album – its on my shit to do list

@AstradyneDreams Have you spoken to RT lately? What with your sons in the same bands?

I haven’t seen RT for a while, 2nd generation stuff – scary

@lisalovesjt What did you have for a snack?

Got a selfish Chicken pie in the oven…

@joolseyjools kids are watching Pirates Of the Carribean..but I just keep seeing !! #thedarkside Lol!!

Johhn Depp, Edward Scissor Hands, without our 80′s hair where would they be now ???

@mynumber18 I would love to hear the Reportage album. Is it you that is preventing it at least getting released on iTunes?

No not at all – Ive said I will finish Reportage – so when time is right, I’m cool … Its only music after all

@ZoeyCharles7 You’ve talked about being embarrassed by New Moon video, is there a vid you are really proud of?

As far as DD videos go – I like the live one’s where you can clearly see we are a band… No safety net

@LisaIAMI Do you happen to remember the first venue you ever played in Detroit? Just curious.

1st Detroit gig there was a shooting outside the venue soundcheck – You don’t forget that in a hurry

@neuroticbaby What do you think about Warren & Dom ‘s guitar playing ?

They both very competent guitar players…

@SimoneB444 I’ve escaped mommy duty long enough to catch up on your tweet q & a…

Mommy duty the toughest of the lot

@SimoneB444 Your comments regarding solo made me think of how Boston’s 1st album was recoded; surely he was bonkers doing that!

Yip Ive often thought about that Boston album…

@tigerbaby_k who was the first piece of music you checked out since your new year?

Been a lot of blues in the house, daughter has discovered blues, that might mean a guitarist for a boyfriend, no way

@GothicblueCJ What did you feel after you finished writing your book?

After finishing the book I went away for a while – its quite a stark place to be – well that’s that, its all over now !

@Kath_E_B what’s the best advice you can give a parent?

Parental Advice – your eyes, hold tight, your in for a mad ride …

I would love to do full-time installation art…

@RubySLBlove_JPN if you dont mind, let us know about the trouble between DD and the Japanese promoter in 2005 (or 2008)?

Im not sure about any of that – promoters, trouble all part of the process

@NCAutismMom Has anyone ever told you that your music either w/D2 or solo was used in spec needs therapy? My 2 autistic kids love music.

Wow is that so, I didn’t know that.

I think music has such a powerful place in us that maybe we don’t even understand its full potential

@apotterdd my guess is that Twitters new site redesign had mucked things up a bit

I don’t like it when they change things, I guess thats the cost of a free service

@NCAutismMom For some reason, music seems to reach many w/autism. He remembers songs nearly verbatim aft hearing 1 or 2x truly amazing

Memory & calculation with music, lots of calculation…

@fabihbt yeah, music helps newborns to relax and learn faster, it helps connect their neurons too!!

Making/Producing Music keeps one very sharp, its not all stoners & beer, the software is to precise & dangerous

@kittyfunpuppy What has your experience working with @coldblank and other EDM artists been like?

Working with naughty young DJ’s, what really intrests me is the dancefloor, its where DD came from dancing

@SimoneB444 Nile Rodgers says the same about Chic’s success…out of a nightclub & the dancers’ reaction

Dancefloor gives you the exact moment, you see the collective reaction, its very powerful

@justkirstenw Now pls fill me in in the “Secrets of Men”, I’m in a relationship forever but haven’t figured it out yet! lol

No men are black, white & extremely grey, just don’t take us shopping or to Yoga … 1 fart per day keeps…

@justkirstenw Oh dear, my hubs loves shopping! What is wrong here?

Maybe he’s just saying that !!!

@cloudofutopia 1 fart per day? Are you sure? I live with 4 males, there’s certainly more than 1 per day here!

No at least one per day – a good relationship would have 4 – 5 even 6 …

@shigatsuhana Did you see my question about the smoking ban in the UK? Re: stage, etc.

I don’t smoke cigarettes anymore… I think smoking ban is basically a good thing from a smelling point of view

@GeorgiaBowring mums friend had bad post natal depression xxx

Post natal, wicked stuff … Dr Katrina Dalton had the only solution to it that seemed to work

@kazzikat who is the most disappointing celeb\ idol you’ve met? They say never meet your heros have you found that to be true?

Aye meeting your hero’s can be disappointing because they will be older & grumpy…

@cheezybits wow! its great you’ve been answering questions so long! are you going to make this a regular thing?

I would much rather do this than run around daytime telly or euro radio stations, with dumb assed presenters …

@ced9276 John Taylor mentioned that you might join DD for a couple of concerts. When is your plan ?

Really when did he say that ?

@PanickedGirl My doctor thinks I’m addicted to Twitter. I kept looking at Twitter whilst being probed.

Probed??? Painful ???

@DanBull7609 PLEASE CAN I BE YOUR 1000TH TWEET? My question is – favourite Astronaut track?

Fav Astronaut track – Nice…

@LordofFuck If fans come to Ibiza and stand for your door – would you let’em in?

The dog might have something to say…

@lebonrose not that I’m complaining but aren’t you tired yet all this tweeting?

Im made from sturdy Northern stock, but yeah will be winding down in the next 10 mins or so …

@DDbliss Does it trip you out that there are still SO many Duranies?!

Todays been another unique experience to say the least, so many Duranies, my own affectionate term from 1981 I believe

@cheezybits what kind of dog do you have?

A small noisy little bugger, she’s very house-proud a sort of terrier, sausage cross mutt …

@GeorgiaBowring just before you go, can I just say thanks for spending tweet time with us today. Xx

Well for sure lets do this again – this is what technology is for – remove the filters for a while

@barbarawyett If Twitter existed in the 80′s do you think you’d have tweeted or were you always ‘out of it’ to be able to spell?

I was never on a Kieth level, but oh yeah we would have loved Twitter in the 80′s – Can you imagine, OKAY GUDNITE Y’ALL

@Marinadazzaland thank you Andy for being so amazing, peace and love to you and yours xx

When Andy first announced he was going to do this, I expected maybe an hour of his time. To say he gets it is almost an understatement. I loved his response when fans thanked him — he said he’d much rather do this than do television and radio shows. We’d rather he do this too! It’s about staying real and not having someone who may or may not even know his music ask boring questions.

I am so looking forward to his new album – more so than any other album in a long time. As an independent artist he’ll have no “industry influences” and it’ll be all Andy. If “Choices” is any indication, Motherlode is going to rock it.

Hope you get a band together for a tour – I’m available for backup vocals. :-D

Yeah, I’m with your views. I get the cmoedy element, but it is so true, people are too much sometimes. I’m about to hit the street myself doing this ish (with a proper CD, pressed, artwork, the works: No shitty CD-R) and I’m psyching myself up for the whole thing. People in England (especially London) just get too much to handle, and its so easy to adopt that negative mindset cause there’s too much tunnel vision. Hell, I ain’t expecting much from my own endeavors, but you can only try Respect to you doing your own grind.Peace
