“Truth be told, not until Supernatural did I feel that the three of us were a harmonic group—where all of us were coming up with ideas and counterbalancing each other. Jesus Freak was a step in that direction, but it was still helmed by Toby,” Max revealed. “Each guy in the band was writing lyrics and melodies and bouncing stuff off each other. That’s why I think it’d be really interesting to see what each of us would come up with today. I know for myself I have big time matured from what I was doing back then.”

 

Recalling how Jesus Freak was more of an overall shift on all procedures, Max continued, “I know that when we put our shows together, there was a lot of thought that went into it from management, to production, and so on. It had its genesis in Toby’s brain…like a pop circus. That hasn’t really changed if you look at his live set now.

“Jesus Freak wouldn’t have worked with dancers, but it worked with a live band, projection video, and us, live on-screen,” he added.

“Toby was the mastermind behind dc Talk—from the very early days, until Supernatural. It was his baby. Not to say Michael and I weren’t along for the ride, we definitely had a lot of input. From Free at Last to Jesus Freak, we kind-of became a band that centered around two vocalists and a hip­-hop artist, to eventually being a full-fledged band.”

    Not a fan of a blatant ripoff of Smells like Teen Spirit. Mighta made Kevin and the boys some money but you act like it changed lives like “Yesterday” by the Beatles or something.

    As much as I would love to see an actual dct reunion more then just being on each other’s records. I don’t believe it’s ever gonna happen. I don’t believe we will ever see another dct record or tour. I think all 3 guys have just decided they are more happier to leave things the way they are. I think they only keep saying “It’s gonna happen, we want it” only to keep the dct fans happy that can’t accept that this band is done for good and has been since like 2000-2001. I am for one just happy to have their albums and some concert videos and that I got to see them in concert at least once before they disbanded.

    As a Washingtonian I was delight to hear a GO-GO song on the Nu-Thang album over 20 years. That’s just one of the many delights I’ve experienced since their debut album in 1989. I’ve been a fan of their evolution through five albums. If a reunion happens, I’ll be ecstatic but I am grateful for what God has done through K-Max, Tait, and Tobymac when they were together.
