But it paid off when Clive Davis вЂ“ the man who built the careers of an impressive list of artists including Aerosmith and Whitney Houston вЂ“ offered them a deal with Arista. It was a risky gamble, one that could have turned Enuff ZвЂ™Nuff from bright young things into music industry pariahs. ZвЂ™Nuff decided to hit the nuclear button: he filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on behalf of the band. On top of that, because of our problems with substance abuse we werenвЂ™t focusing on the shit that was all around us business-wise.вЂќ вЂњIt was everything we wished for, yet weвЂ™ve got no dough. вЂњHere we are, making great records, touring the country,вЂќ says ZвЂ™Nuff. It matched its predecessor sales-wise, and even Rolling Stone took notice, declaring Enuff ZвЂ™Nuff to be the hottest rock band of the year. Undeterred, they recorded a follow-up, the magnificent Strength. вЂњWe said: вЂWe sold half a million records and we still owe three quarters of a million dollars?вЂ™вЂќ 'They came to us with a bill for $775,000 and said: вЂThatвЂ™s what you owe us,вЂ™вЂќ says ZвЂ™Nuff. Their sparkling self-titled debut album sold half a million copies вЂ“ not Guns NвЂ™ Roses numbers, but certainly respectable. MTV embraced the Beatles-y singles New Thing and Fly High Michelle. They looked like part вЂ“ psychedelic glammetal gypsies in billowing shirts and purple-tinted granny glasses. It never was, it was constantly bumpy.вЂќД«umpy or not, the road eventually led them to Atco Records, who threw their weight behind the band. I tried to make the road a little bit smoother for us. вЂњI found myself always trying to break up fights, trying to keep the drug dealers away from the band. вЂњEveryone was fairly jacked up,вЂќ says ZвЂ™Nuff. The pairвЂ™s chemical proclivities often came close to undoing what ZвЂ™Nuff was trying to build. The hard stuff was the provision of Vie and guitarist Derek Frigo, a local hotshot who joined Enuff ZвЂ™Nuff in 1988, a year before they recorded their self-titled debut album. If youвЂ™re hanging out with somebody whoвЂ™s all fucked up on the hard stuff, well guess what вЂ“ youвЂ™re fucked up as well. вЂњI knew we couldnвЂ™t do any business if we were all fucked up. One of the peculiarities of talking to ZвЂ™Nuff is that he frequently uses the word вЂweвЂ™ when referring to his bandвЂ™s ill-starred narcotic history, despite insisting that he never indulged in anything stronger than pot.

вЂњWeвЂ™d get an ounce of cocaine and a couple of bottles of Jack DanielвЂ™s and go for it. вЂњWeвЂ™d sneak in the studio at two oвЂ™clock in the morning when everybody was done and record these songs,вЂќ says ZвЂ™Nuff. They recorded a demo at a studio in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. We were very flamboyant, very colourful, we looked great.вЂќ

вЂњWe were full of piss and vinegar,вЂќ says ZвЂ™Nuff. They played anywhere that would have them, passing their tapes on to anyone who would listen. They bought a drum machine, moved into a flophouse and began writing those songs. We were very flamboyant, very colourful, we looked great. вЂњThe task as hand was: вЂLetвЂ™s write some great songs.вЂ™вЂќ ZвЂ™Nuff, five years older, took Vie under his wing. HeвЂ™d put the band together with Donnie Vie, a wild kid from a broken home. вЂњThere were a ton of groups out here who were kicking ass but just couldnвЂ™t get arrested.вЂќ вЂњThere were a lot of obstacles back then,вЂќ he says of the bandвЂ™s beginnings in Chicago in 1983. ItвЂ™s this enthusiasm for life that has kept Enuff ZвЂ™Nuff afloat through their turbulent career, and got them off the ground in the first place. вЂњI thought it would show people that we werenвЂ™t just rock musicians, that we were sixtrick ponies,вЂќ he says, and then laughs a throaty laugh. During our conversation he drops in the names of various people heвЂ™s crossed paths with, from legendary music mogul Clive Davis, who signed Enuff ZвЂ™Nuff to his label, Arista, in the early 1990s, to fellow Chicagoan Kanye West ZвЂ™Nuff worked with the rapper in 2007 on an album by WestвЂ™s protГ©gГ©, Malik Yusuf. вЂњAlthough the music business will bring the worst out in you.вЂќ He talks with an accent as wide as the Lake Michigan waterfront and a rasp like a malfunctioning hair dryer. вЂњThereвЂ™s not a lot of pessimism in my life,вЂќ admits the man born Greg Rybarski in Blue Island, Chicago around the time The Beatles got together.
