Please bring readers up-to-date with which bands you have played with
and where you are now at musically?
Basically the last band I played with was the Strap-Ons from Norfork,
Va. I did a West Coast tour in 2003, but from 1999 I played w/The
Undead, (Nyc) The Strap-Ons( Norfork,Va.),The Mary Tyler Whores,(Ft.Lauderdale,Fl.)
Human Buffet, (Miami,Fl.) The Pyshco Daisey's (Miami,Fl.) The Bellringer's
(Miami,Fl.),The Hooples (Miami,Fl.), The Evil-Doer's (Miami,Fl.) The
Kiddee Fiddler's (Hollywood,Ca.) Jersey Trash (Hollywood,Ca.) and
I even played a few dates w/Misfits during that period till present.
Musically right now I’m looking to start a new project with
Roxy Micheals (x-bassist for the Undead(Nyc), Marky Ramone and the
Intruders(Nyc), Texas Terri Bomb(Hollywood,Ca.). Me and Roxy have
been playing ever since we were w/The Undead he's the bomb bass player
and guitar & vox. We putting together a real sleazy rock&roll
sound with a dark edge!! I want people to dance , slam whatever!!
I hate when music lovers just stand there and stare. That means as
a drummer, if the fans are just standing around I’m not doin'
my job!!!
How has your new cd 'Hell Bent For
Horror Business' been received? And what is your personal favourite on
there?
I really don't know! but everyone that's brought has
gotten back to me and said it rocks. That’s not just from l.a, that'
a from all parts of the country!!! I'm looking for European labels to pick
it up so the world can hear it. It’s just released domestically. My
favourite is the intro and the last last song. There’s 6 tracks that
didn't get on, I was a little disappointed.
What
other
drummers do you respect?
Other drummers I admire are Corky Lang (Mountain),Don
Brewer(Grand Funk Railroad), Bill Ward(Black Sabbath) Mitch Mitchell, John
Bonham, Keith Moon. In my era Marc Bell (Markey Ramone) Jerry Nolan(Dolls),
Michael Wildwood (D-Generation/Chrome Locust) Rat Scabies (The Damned), Paul
Cook(Sex Pistols),Chuck Biscuits (Danzig)there's so many other's it's hard
name them all!!!!
How was it working with Bobby Steal again in the Undead?
I think Bobby is a great guitarist and he can some pretty songs! But
as a person he's a weasel!! He's as cheap as they come. He tries
to get people to work for him for nothing, I don't play for nothing
anymore. He’ll nickel and dime crew and production on records.
That’s just one of the reasons I had a fight with him in Belfast,
he says one thing and does another!! He kinda' lives in his little
paranoid dream world! The band he had with Roxy Micheals and myself
kicked ass!!!! He just wants the Boobby Steele show and not a band.
I say fuck-em"!!!!
Did you keep
in touch with him and other Misfits members
over the years?
NOPE!!! the last guy I played with was Bobby, Danzig.
I had words with
him, Jerry, the used car sales-man of rock and roll!!! All of them with their
ego's.
