G: Yeah. You know what they say about bands with their first album: that they use all their good stuff and— G: No! Well, uh, actually, with their particular situation and my situation, I was in a band before that had a few albums out...and, uh, I was real aware of that.

Editor's note: This month's unexpur-gated interview was conducted by J. Kor-dosh. who met with Gregg Giuffria and Dave Eisley of Giuffria at the Pontchartrain Hotel in Detroit. Herein, the guys discuss the rapid rise of their L.A.-based band:they were formed, signed to a record contract, placed their first record in Billboard's Top 30 and toured with Deep Purple and Foreigner-all in their first year. Giuffria, ex of Angel, also discusses some of the ups and downs of the music business. This is your first album, right?
G: Yeah.
You know what they say about bands with their first album: that they use all their good stuff and—
G: No! Well, uh, actually, with their particular situation and my situation, I was in a band before that had a few albums out...and, uh, I was real aware of that. And prepared for that. So instead of using any of the songs that we had from before we wrote all new songs prior to going into the studio. So we actually saved some of our ace material for the second album.
I thought the album did well.
