JoshDIGRhodes Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 This was an interview I had wanted to conduct for a very long time. I've interviewed legends of this sport before. Jimmy Creten, Bob Chandler, Army Armstrong, Mark Hall, Tom Meents. . .but the one interview i always wanted to get, was with the Icon: Dennis Anderson. I thought i'd post the link to this interview over here for everybody to see. I want to thank Dennis for taking time out of his nightmarishly busy schedule to talk with me. Oh yeah, Ryan Anderson, I'd love to get an interview with you to man. http://allmonster.co...er-profile.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriotic Canadian Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Dennis seems like a cool guy. interesting to see how he thinks, the mention of tanner foust in a truck gets me thinking of Ken Block in a truck. what would that look like driving wise? Gahmkana in a monster truck, scary. neat interview, great read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlawed Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 THIS: JR- Which drivers from the early days of Monster Trucks, do you wish were still racing today? DA- I wish Andy Brass was still in the business, wish he was still racing. I kind of wish Bigfoot was in our game over here, because Bigfoot used to beat up on me when he had all his money a long time ago. I really wish they were over here in the Monster Jam series. I don't think thats going to happen. THIS: JR- Is there anything from the early days of Monster Truck racing that you'd like to see come back to this day and age? DA- Yes, I'm gonna tell you right now man, we're getting ready for my 30th anniversary tour. I wanted to do a Dennis Anderson retro-classic 30th anniversary tour. In some of the buildings that we go to twice, we call it double dippin', going back more than one time. I'd love to bring something back for one or two generations that havn't seen it. Like the multiple engine pulling tractors, I'd like to bring them out. Just a little handful of them, to give the crowd a taste. Bring back the mud bog, and the old style car crushing. All we would need is about four leaf spring trucks and put some cars out on the track. You build this story timeline from the time the show starts till it finishes, and at the end of the show for the "Grand Finale" it would be me and my two sons (Adam and Ryan) and a few other competitors out there. We'd come out with 2012 brand new tube chassis trucks and we just burn the stadium down. You know what I'm saying? It's like you walk through the whole thing. We had the tractor pulling, monster trucks were fill acts. We put a couple cars out there, pop the wheelies and mash the roof. Do old school, low horsepower leaf spring trucks. AND THIS: JR- Andy Brass DA- Andy Brass. Calm, cool, little squeaky voice. I loved him when he was out here on the track with Bigfoot man. When you say Andy Brass, I think Bigfoot. put a huge grin on my face, sure as hell hasnt forgotten anything from back in the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Sommerfeld Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 very nice interview with Dennis. Its very nice to see that hes one of the drivers that hasn't forgotten the past and heck he even would like to see Bigfoot come over to monster jam, but we all know and he can sense it will never happen. Nice work Dig on conducting this interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRobson Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Even Dennis wants to see Bigfoot over in Monster Jam.. It could happen.. It just won't sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed3165 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Even Dennis wants to see Bigfoot over in Monster Jam.. It could happen.. It just won't sadly. I was right next to Josh during this Interview and when he said this I got a huge smile on my face. Josh did a awesome job with this interview and got a different side of Dennis.

DCRoadWarrior Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Great interview Josh, and I have to say, Dennis talking about Tanner Foust was completely unexpected to me. I would love to see him drifting a monster truck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshDIGRhodes Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Thank you all for the comments. I worked very hard on thinking of what i could ask Dennis that hasn't been asked before and i'm very proud of the end result. I spent about 20 minutes talking to one of my Idles, doesn't get much better than that. Also, when i typed that question out about the crossover drivers. I KNEW Dennis was going to say Tanner, due to the fact he rode around a course with Tanner for the Speed Dreamride. I also asked Dennis if he thought that ride was better than riding along in a NASCAR and he said by far it was better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmchenry Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Dennis actually mentioned Independent suspension. Sir! I'd LOVE to talk to you on that note! XD I think he actually won me over, with this interview. Not that I particularly like the Monster Jam organization, but...eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
