Steve Interviewed in French Rock and Folk Magazine
Steve Harris in the French rock magazine Rock & Folk (issue 469 September 2006) for a tiny interview. The journal is a mainstream media and the talk is shallow.Two things are somewhat funny.
First Steve tells a story that took place in a restaurant in Paris where he had dinner with his « mate » Nikky Sixx. They were discussing quietly when a Motley fan (a girl) appeared. Suddenly, Sixx changed his way of talking and behaved like a stupid bastard. He stopped as soon as the girl was gone.

Steve concludes that it's a stupid and dangerous attitude.
