Paul Doucette
More Than He Thinks He Is The last time MD
spoke to Paul Doucette (Dec. '00 issue), he ended his interview
belittling his
superstar status by stating that "fame is a stupid
thing" and that his bandmates and himself were in fact just "normal
guys
who got lucky." Since making their debut six years ago, Matchbox
Twenty may have had some luck on their side, but it's
the dedication
and talent of these five musician/songwriters that makes them one of
the most successful bands in the
world.
For their latest CD, More Than You Think You Are,
Rob Thomas, Kyle Cook, Adam Gaynor, Brian
Yale, and Paul Doucette were
eager to get started recording the fifty songs they had in the works.
Each member had been
busy working on different projects after two years
of constant touring promoting their last release, Mad Season.
"When
we got together this time for pre-production," Paul says, "we
just started throwing ideas around. It was basically, 'Alright,
who has
ideas'?"
Matchbox Twenty is currently gearing up for a world
tour. And there's even talk of a solo
record from Doucette coming in
the near future. "Yeah," he says, "things are looking good right
now'very
good."
