Death rides a Pale Horse....

In the book of Revelations...when the final days of man have finally come...it is written that Four Horse men will ride down from the heavens to seal our doom...War, Famine, Pestilence and of course, Death. This will signal the final times and what theologians call "The Apocalypse".

In these dark days of such unrest and world strife...it almost seems natural that a band like FourHorse would come to be. Their music is a mix of heavy rock, post hardcore and fragments of doom inspired metal that transcends the genres and reinvents them through share power, delivery and meticulous song writing. The sound they create is thunderous and apocalyptic and gives one the feeling of impending doom lurking just over the horizon...but...there is also something triumphant about Fourhorse's music too...something that rises through the darkness and makes it feel powerful and majestic. This is what separates this band and to me makes them one of Providence's best acts. Strangely enough in a time where a media spotlight of sorts has shined on many of the bands in the PVD underground like Lightning Bolt, Mahi Mahi , Arab on Radar etc ...the boys from FourHorse have been somewhat underdogs. Maybe because they play straight ahead heavy rock compared to the artful leanings of said bands..maybe because sometimes the best bands just go unnoticed until after they are gone and are suddenly discovered to be "brilliant" and a "classic" after the fact. Time will tell...but regardless, FourHorse is without a doubt one of Providence's best kept secrets and also one of the best bands in the scene today. This band should be signed tomorrow...this band should be opening up for Neurosis, Killing Joke, or the Melvins...this band should be on TOUR.

If you haven't discovered FourHorse yet...well...shame on you. Get down to the Armageddon shop and pick up their self titled four track CD and prepared to be floored. Powerhouse production and teeth shattering heaviness flow through these epic songs like a tidal wave and for a first release...you couldn't do much better. I got the chance to interview these elusive four recently at their band space in Olneyville, "Redrum" (also home to WhiteMice, The Fuzz, and the up and coming Lolita Black) and got a little more insight as to what makes them tick. Here is a mini interview for your reading pleasure...

Scott M-Vocals
Sean-Bass
Scott P-Guitar
Bobby-Drums
BobDead-Interviewer

BD:"Ok...lets start with a little history...what bands have you all been in for those who don't know the prehistory of FourHorse"?
Scott M: "I was in a few bands...Marjahn Crash which did a US tour and put out a full length and a seven inch, Furnace who put out a seven inch and Glazed Baby who also recorded and went out on tour with Zeni Geva and Today is the Day."
ScottP: "I was also in Marjahn Crash."
Bobby: "I wasn't in anything local...I was in a few bands in Chicago..."HogLady"...which was a punk band and "Blue Dog Garden" which was a jazz band. HogLady had a lot of interest at the time from some record companies..and I ended up passing on a try out for Veruca Salt because things were going so good ...so I passed...(laughter) and the next thing you know they are playing fucking Lalapalooza and then Hoglady ends up breaking up because the singer has kidney failure...and I'm sitting at home watching Veruca Salt on MTV and going "What the fuck..". But at that point all you can do is wish them luck..."
Sean :"FourHorse is my first band..."(throws the devil sign)
BD: "When I listen to Fourhorse I get an overwhelming sense of foreboding and darkness...what do you write about...and what influences it?"
ScottM: "Well..I try to keep it vague to some degree...A lot of what I write about is personal, about how I feel about myself after drinking...or depression..the negative aspects..all the lyrics are pretty dark."
BD: "What about your music..how would you describe that to our viewers?"
ScottM:"Definitely metal..."
ScottP: "Yeah..I would say metal..but more than that..."
Sean: "I think we are hardcore as far as our melody and structure..but definitely metal on the
dirginess end of it."
Bobby: "Disco...."(everyone laughs)
ScottM: "We all listen to tons of music and our influences are really varied. Right now I am listening to a lot of soundtrack kind of stuff...A lot of the music I grew up with like Voivod
and Godflesh. Cop Shoot Cop is one of my all time favorites...Jesus lizard..."
Bobby:"Definitely Jesus Lizard..bands like SteelPoleBathtub,ZeniGeva,the Boredoms etc."
BD: "What would you say is the one record that you heard growing up..that made you say
"I wanna be in a rock n roll band"?"
ScottM: "I'd have to say "Iron Maiden-Powerslave" or "Piece of Mind" (laughter) but i was like 14...but for this style...I'd have to say like Venom and Voivod..when I heard that stuff i was just blown away..."
ScottP: "The BeeGees..(more laughter)..watching those guys play

BD: "Wow!..i wouldn't have guessed..."
Sean: "I remember when I was a kid..my dad getting all these Columbia House records and 8 tracks and I was sitting on the floor listening to Billy Joel's "Glass Houses" thinking...holy fuck..
this is the baddest ass shit I've ever heard. Hahahaha....just the attitude and the swagger..it got me listening to records..Men at Work..and then like...fucking REO Speedwagon which got me
realizing that music can also be bad..and there was bad music and...good music ...after that it was heavier stuff like Iron maiden and so on..."
Bobby: "When I was like ..six or seven..I bought Kiss "Destroyer..."
BD:( interupting) "Oh christ..you were totally doomed..."(laughter)
Bobby: "..and then i went mental and went out and bought all the Kiss records...hahah."
BD: "What do you guys think about the music scene here in Providence..what are your views on it?"
ScottM: "I love it...for me..I like alot of ridiculously fast and heavy stuff and when we play we get to see and hear a lot of amazing bands like that on the bills we are on...but there is a lot of different stuff I love like White Mice and Athletic Automaton..there's so many different styles
going on..its always a thrill..."
Sean: "The great thing here in PVD..are there are the bigger bands that everyone goes to see
that are great...but there are also tons of smaller bands that might play less often but equally blow you away in their originality...there are so many bands and I don't get to go out as much as I like because I work two jobs..and its always a treat when i get to see a great band that people barely know about at a place like Okie St..or Redrum etc. There are so many genres of music
being made by hard working people in the scene here..and its really motivating..."
BD: What do you think of a lot of the DIY spaces that have popped up as an alternative to the big "Rock Club" scene that was taking place in the early 90s?
ScottM: "Its fucking great..I mean..I love playing places like AS220...but playing a place like Redrum..its just layed back..its people who really love underground music..it's friends...it's a really great feeling to be a part of something outside of the normal scene that a lot of us grew up with...
Sean: "The thing that i seem to realize about it is that from working at clubs since I was about 19...most of the shows seemed motivated by alcohol sales and money..and that in turn decided what bands you ended being able to see at clubs...so now that a lot of the big rock clubs in town have closed...you can go to see more independent and creative bands playing at the DIY spaces that you would have never gotten to see in rock clubs because of the smaller draw..."
BD: "Who are some of your favorite PVD bands to play with?"
Bobby: "the Fuzz obviously..."
ScottP: "the Fuzz..."(laughter)
Sean:" The one that i've been really into lately is Shred The Past (ex Nightmare Continues)...
they are getting better and better...
ScottM: "When we first started playing..I'd definitely have to say Vincebus Eruptum..just so amazing to watch live..."
BD:"Definitely one of my faves.."
Bobby: "one of the bands from the road we liked a lot was Anodyne..and They Were Wires..I think from Boston?..."
Sean: "Those guys went on to become DoomRyders..who were like skate rock..but really good..."
BD: "What does the future hold for FourHorse..as far as touring, records etc?"

Everyone: (Laughter)...a cooking show!...a reality tv show!...
Sean : "Well...both Scott and Scott have already done the "on the road" thing sleeping on floors..and trying to outrun the law after having to steal gas after not getting paid at a show...
so I think maybe me and Bobby have a little more of the wanderlust going on in us right now with the band..I'd love to go out and play a small manageable tour that could fit realistically into our lives that didn't make us come home to no apartment or losing our job...you know..like maybe a two week tour that was well promoted that people would come out and check out without the fear of us losing everything...I think that unless your part of some giant scene
or hooked up to a successful tour..it's harder to go out on these long tours in the middle of nowhere..and be successful. As older guys its harder to give up everything to go out...as
opposed to when you are young..and you can just say "fuck it" and quit your job and live in a van."
ScottM: "you know if we could go out and not come back like 5 months in debt for our rent or lose our apartments..then it would be a lot more doable..but now being older..it's a lot harder to do..." "at this point we love doing this..but we do it a lot of the time for our own enjoyment and fun..and we don't expect to be successful at it...although if something were to happen that would be great too..."
Bobby: "i mean..at this point..the goal i could see for this band would be getting on a label like Epicac or Relapse...theres a lot of really great stuff on Relapse..."
Ok...at this point the interview goes on and on with a lot of shop talk about recording and the ups and downs of recording that the average reader will give two shits about...so...I'll skip it and get to the ending and something more...amusing.
BD: "Ok..so lets end this with a bang...give me a good road story...every band has one...lets hear some dirt...groupies,drugs,midgets? "
(Laughter and frantic overlapping discussion)
Sean: "Well..I have one about the time we all went to Canada ( BD:a few years back I booked a weekend mini tour of the great white North with FourHorse,I Destroyer,Vincebus Eruptum and Nightmare Continues...it ended up being one of the coldest Canadian weekends in years AND we drove back into a raging Nor'Easter and nearly died several times...but that's a story that will have to be told another day...) ...we had bought some of the kick ass and plentiful weed that is all over the place up in Montreal...and we were on our way back and we still had some as we approached the US/Canadian Border...so we devised a plan where we took a little plastic bag full of weed..and burned it closed..and hid it in a container of mashed potatoes and gravy that we threw on the floor of the truck with a bunch of other horrific garbage that we had accumulated on the road. "
Bobby: "Hey man..it seemed like a fool proof idea at the time! (massive laughter)... "
Sean: "We are thinking even if they put the dogs on the car at the border..the customs guys will just think the dogs are trying to get at the graveyard of chicken bones and food trash we have all over the floor..so either we will trick them...or...we would get totally busted and detained at the border ...hahaha. I mean..it was only a small amount anyway...it seemed like
a fool proof plan...soooooooo...anyway...we get to the border stop..and of course..we are not really thinking how much we all smell like dope since we've been smoking pretty much up til a half mile from the U.S. border...so of course..as soon as we get there..the border gaurds take one look at us and say "O.k...everyone out of the car..."and everyone INSIDE."So..they take us inside and of course question us...and search us..and go through our documents...and then suddenly we watch as they take Bobby...and he disapeers into a "questioning" room.
BD: oh SHIT...the dreaded "interview"room..where the funky search finger may or may not happen!... (laughter)
Sean:For the life of us..we can't figure out why Bobby has been singled out and taken away. (Bobby is laughing insanely at this point of the interview) So the border guards proceed to interrogate Bobby..upon learning that he has recently smoked some marijuana and is high as a kite. The guard then continues to ask him when..and where he smoked...as if trying to be his confidant and that its "Ok"..."you can tell me everything..don't be nervous"... "
Bobby: "this guy was acting like he was my fucking high school guidance councilor..hahahahaha! "
Sean: "So the rest of us are in the waiting area listening to the various characters getting pulled in..and hearing the border guards saying shit like "how much they'd LOVE to shoot someone trying to sneak over the border" ...and we can see the truck outside..and the customs guys seem to be finishing up looking though it..and everything seems to be ok...at this point Bobby
comes out but then they turn him around AGAIN..and start interviewing him a second time.
At this point you guys roll into the border stop..like 14 dudes deep...it looked like a fucking clown
car driving up..and the border guards take one look at you and tell us..."Ok..you guys are out of here" and they immediately start heading towards the I,Destroyer van. They let Bobby go...but
are for some reason still weary of him..but we go. We get back to the truck..thinking they probably found the weed and just took it without saying anything because it was such a small amount...but we look and even though the place has been torn apart..the trash is still on the floor...and the weed is still sitting untouched in the gravy container. So we are like "YES!!"
So we hightail it to Jackman , Maine...."
BD: "at which point..WE get detained for like 2 hours..because when we rolled in..we saw you guys getting shaken down..and we decide to be wise guys when they ask us if we knew you..
and of course we say "HELL No!"which is the wrong answer..because it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that two bands coming from the same destination...from the same hometown...at almost exactly the same time...more than likely know each other. So we proceed to get our van torn apart..but fortunately we decided it wasn't worth getting fucked at the border...so we smoked all our dope at a rest stop before we got there. (laughter) After getting our balls busted for what seemed like forever...they finally have to let us go...."
Sean: "Well..none of that really mattered because the real reason we got questioned so hard was that even after all the James Bond maneuvers of hiding the weed in the gravy etc...Bobby had forgotten that he had a half joint in his front shirt pocket...and only realized it as he was getting questioned..and when the guards weren't looking...he put it in his mouth and ate it. So the whole time they were "interviewing" him...he was banging of weed and probably had pot sticking to his friggin teeth in front of these guys...so they must have thought..."these fucking guys must have a ton of weed on them..."which we actually didn't...well...besides the weed in the gravy (massive laughter) ...so we ended up meeting up with you guys (the Destroyer/Vincebus/NMC crew) and had some great weed to smoke at the next rest stop before we drove home for ten hours into a full blown blizzard...."(the interview dies down with various road stories about us almost flipping the van several times on the icy backroads through Maine...but THAT my friends is yet another story...for another time.).
FourHorse will be playing THIS Thursday at REDRUM (may 4th) with the Chinese Stars,the
Fuzz, HoneyHander, and Neon Vomit. Come and support one of Providence's best..come and support Providence Music!!!! REDRUM REDRUM REDRUM!!!!!

Lightning Bolt

Interview by Ryan



LotsOfNoise: What’s up?

Brian Gibson (bass): You should know Ryan, you’re my boss.

Brian Chippendale (drums): I have been riding my bike in the slush all day and now answering emails and eating these chocolate pretzels of Laura Mullen’s that have given me a headache

LON: Who is/was your favorite providence band of all time… during your stay in this fine city?
G: Wak Attak the puppet rap band. They died with fort thunder.

BC: Lets see, my stay in this fine city, back in like 92 or 93 at RISD the band Glory Hole blew me away, of course they were a short lived RISD band but man, I was so young so impressionable and they had delay and fireworks and giant puppets and shit, the first providence band to kick and really strike me was Von Ryan’s Express. I would say, I loved those guys, I didn’t understand them at the time, so free and open, so maybe they are my favorite all time band, but damn, Dropdead you know, those guys are serious noise I love it.

LON: How do you feel about volume? What does being really loud bring to the shows and recordings?

BG: Feel? I think our volume comes mostly from in-band competition. Brian and I think we have something important to say as ‘individuals’, so we do battle. It makes recording difficult because everything bleeds together, and Microphones can’t deal with it. And our engineer Dave Auchenbach hides in other rooms.

BC: It hurts your ears and makes them ring forevermore. My drums have been loud for years now, it brings a certain physical presence into the music. I remember an interview with the Dinosaur Jr guitarist whiny guy talking about how he could actually feel the wind from the speakers on his back while he played. Also when shit is loud it gives the impression, and perhaps the reality that it is melting down, bringing in distortion in the sound, this equipment is on the edge of destruction. It’s loud, unavoidable, you can't hide from loud... can you?

LON: Load Records’ website refers to Slayer when describing you. Has Slayer made any impact on you musically?

BG: No. How could they? I’m a bass player- that band is all guitars. They’re evil.

BC: I just noticed that Slayer thing, I love Slayer, well, Reign In Blood and South Of Heaven specifically, I like evil sounds, and I like the intensity, it drives you, so it has made an impression on me, but I’m not so sure it comes out in our music.

LON: It seems that each record brings you closer and closer to riffage. Is this intentional or just a sort of natural progression?

BG: Hmmm. I suppose it has worked out that way. Its not entirely intentional. And I’m ready to go back to non-“riffage”(as you call it) soon. I thought ride the skies didn’t take riffage as far as it could go. We needed to hear a record that was more about the power of rock, and less sonic experimentation. I’m satisfied ,but now I don’t want to overkill our rock side- there’s a lot of uncharted sonic/frenzied ground to cover. I just bought a delay pedal.

BC: Riffage is Brian Gibson, I am falling from drum riffage, and we do nothing intentionally, we are all natural.

LON: · Sigmund and the Sea Monsters or H.R.Puffnstuff?

BG: They both do the trick. Sigmund is psychedelic in a way that is nausea inducing. Its bright and sunny and happy- yet so wrong. People we’re probably drugged up and dying of heat sickness in those costumes, and there was probably sand in them.

BC: I like the word Puffnstuff and am scared of sea monsters.

LON: · How has touring effected the band?

BG: Every year touring affects LB in different ways. It’s an equation that that is something like, shows per week times equipment problems minus financial compensation. A good thing touring can do is make us sick of our songs so we want to write new ones. Also It forces us to deal with personality differences that we can otherwise ignore. I want to quit after a long tour, but a year later I want to tour again.

BC: Touring makes us hyper-tight, somewhat less creative as people and it used to really grate on our relationship, but now by including such characters as Ben McOsker on our tour Brian and I have a common place to put all our bad vibes. It is important to know you are facing the world and not each other when touring, but it is very hard to remember that when you are in the middle of it. The Providence band The Daughters who I am very fond of are about to embark on a 105 day tour.

LON: · In the beginning, what started the tradition of playing on the floor?

BG: We started off playing mostly on the floor at parties- and we’ve tried to keep that intimate fun party feel. Which is way more fun than the boring club stage act feel This is a better question for Brian C though because he has been the most insistant about playing on the floor.

BC: We played our first floor show at as220, maybe after two Met Cafe stage shows, and it was wonderful, i was impressed by the little known band Phleg Camp and Million Moons Ago who came to the Richmond street AS220 and since the room was practically empty save for me and Brinkman and a few others the kick-ass heavy fukin’ drummer set up right on my toes and I was
hooked on the floor forever. Dictating the setup of the show allows us to design the room for the night and provide people hopefully with a memory that sticks out in a possibly bland hard to remember stream of shows in the same place.

LON: · What is the worst injury that you know of, band or fan, which has occurred during a live Lightning Bolt show?

BG: Nothing bad has happened yet thank god. One injury that worries me is the brian’s drumstick –breaking- flying splinter to the eye -injury. we barely escape this by centimeters at many shows. I kid you not Ryan, much blood has been spilt at LB shows.
But people are smiling.

BC: Shit, I think people have come off pretty well so far, bad shit happened during a Brian Gibson drum session with that Cara Dwyer Rosenburg band Krang but I think we are actually doing fairly well, a little blood here and there, no broken bones to note, no unconscious fans I think. I once was walking through my parents house in the middle of the night during a Christmas visit and I tripped in the dark because they had moved the couch from when I was a kid and I slammed my nose and bloodied it…but that was not LB related.

LON: · Heavy Metal or Punk Rock?

BG: Punk to me is about politics, Metal is about spirituality (and Lord of the Rings). I think the language of music is more qualified, by nature, to make effective statements regarding spirituality (and lotr) than it is politics. I’ll go with heavy Metal. Although in todays desperate political climate I suppose I may be more receptive to punk than usual.

BC: Heavy Metal, but its close, I’m open.

LON: · Being visual artists, do you think that your visual art influences your aural art and vice-versa? Do you think that RISD influenced your music?

BG: Music has taught me a lot about art. LB in particular has showed me the power of an extremely limited palette. And persistence… and open collaboration.

BC: I think obsessive compulsive tendencies in both arenas have taken over everything and glue it all together.

LON: · What is the absolute best thing about Providence? (You can no longer say Buddy)

BG: In providence live some of the best artists and musicians and best all around people anywhere. And I won’t name names because it would be embarrassing for everyone.

BC: Well the best stuff is getting slimmer around here, man, that blizzard ruled..........paper rodeo. Hahhahhahaaha

LON: · What are you guys doing outside of Lightning Bolt?

BG: You’re my boss Ryan. And I help you make video games, which I’m supposed to be doing right now. I also am making the ‘Barkley’s Barnyard Critters’ animated series. And doing ‘Critters’ performances.

BC: Too much, I have a gazebo that I made in the risd museum till April 20th and Ninja Comics and Mindflayer and Jamoputs and decorating my place and …

LON: · Superfly Jimmy Snuka or Rowdy Roddy Piper?

BG: This is dumb.

BC: They Live

LON: · How did it feel to have the legendary Sonic Youth gazing from their stage upon your live show at Lupo’s?

BG: I usually assume the ‘If I can’t see you then you can’t see me’ rule and I never saw them looking at me. I saw about ten people in the front row during that show and they were all good friends. So I imagine about ten good friends got to enjoy our performance. I also imagine from your perspective it looked like sonic youth were gazing at us, but in reality they were gazing at the backs of the heads of ten of my good friends… An honor nonetheless.

BC: It felt like maybe I was in the wrong place, I’m just glad they played INhuman before us in New York, that song is awesome inhuman inhuman, we belong hidden , you cant hide in
lupos...

LON: or

BG: Another one of these. Green. Burn less oil. Every gallon of gas is a vote for unending war, and environmental collapse. Ride more bikes and walk and get exercise. Thanks for the interview Ryan.

BC: or all hell will break loose and all the good things in life will be lost, but man Ben and Laura at Load Records are listening to the new Friends Forever record and it rules. Yes!!!!!!

Erase Errata

Interview by Jeff from Arab on Radar

1. How does the audience influence your live performance?

jenny--if the crowd is acting lame, i'll face the band more, if the crowds into it, i'll be much more animated. ellie--if the crowd's not into it, i'll try harder to act excited.

sara--the more the crowd dances, the more i do.

2. What do you think about The Band? ( yeah, Robbie Robertson and company, Up On Cripple Creek etc.)...

jenny--i just watched The Last Waltz, and i thought they all looked like robot corpses. The other day, when we were in Knoxville, i was out busking on the street with my ukelele, and some guy asked me to play "Take a load off Fanny," and so i tried to play it and look like a robot corpse, and the guy told me with raw talent like that i'll never go hungry.

3. Do you have any advice for (hypothetically) a person who wants to start a band and whose goal is to do what Erase Errata is doing as far as touring, releasing records, writing songs is concerned?

all: yes, be proactive about touring, releasing, etc, be friends, have fun, be prepared to put the rest of yr life on hold.

4. For me, music makes me high, it also helps me through the bad times (the Beatles n'all that) and it enpowers me a bit, gives me a purpose of sorts... It has deep spiritual qualities that I can't quite explain... What does music do to (for) you?

bianca: i get depressed if i don't get to play for awhile.

jenny: it's a big release

sara: it's a physical, social, emotional activity all in one.

ellie: i agree.

5. The future for Erase Errata brings a summer tour, some days on The Oops tour (shameless self promotion, sorry...) and then some dates with Sonic Youth! then... a tour of Europe, which from what I gather will be very exciting... Can you tell me any details about these events?

all: Oops! was great... such comraderie!! We miss everybody!! We're sort of nervous that Europe will be a financial bust, but we're soo excited for it.

6. Is there anything you would like to say about the current music situation? The Strokes? The Locust? Le Tigre? US Maple? Pink And Brown? Eminem (who is plastered all over Europe right now...) Where is music at?

Bianca- I think music is in a really great place right now and is only going to get better.

Ellie- I think music is in a really scarry place right now. Just thinking about Clear Channel makes me want to puke. Though the underground scene seems to be thriving.

Pink & Brown

Interview by Chris



1.) What does this sentence mean to you? "People in glass houses should not play with razor blades."

People in glass houses should play with the razors ...sos that they can see the art of their last moments. Whatever that means.

2.) Is the 6 -10 year sentence for "Hockey Dad" acceptable?

6 to 10? Yes..although I would lean more towards continuous public ass rapings...what an asshole.

3.) Have you gotten into any fist fights lately?

no fistfights

4.) What's up now that you've signed with Skin Graft?

After this record with Load we are gonna focus on new material...which we dont have much of and try and do europe and other awesome places that have a McDonald's sos that i can get my shake on.

5.) What's a better deal? Being a boy or being a girl?

Bein' a boy or a girl...thats tuff i would have to say being a boy...because you can be devoid of all emotions except...horny, hungry and angry and psyched oh yeah and no period...thank god I am already irrational enough.Girls are cool too though..so mysterious and nicer to look at than the generic male...and usually no backhair if yer lucky...living in san fran I gotta say that gender meands nothing to me now...this place is bender-heaven.

6.) Your playing South By Southwest. How big of a deal is that for you guys?

I am just psyched to play the south. As far as the festival it is just another reason to drink beer all nite and then to fight with arab on radar about money...they are just too generous, thats why we fight , really

7.) When will Pink and Brown's divine presence grace Providence again?

We will be there in march i think on the 28th...i hope to play ay the dirt palace...unless stupid shit I said in this article fucks me over...

The Locust

Interview by Chris

1.) What do you think about Stockhausen describing the terrorist attacks on NYC as "a great work of art." *

well honestly, i dont want to answer this one. i mean with the clamp down on peoples "freedom" i could get into trouble for sharing my opinion. but i will say that im not in support of war of any kind. especially the kind with any religious horse shit motive. nor am i a fan of the blind followers of bush. all i have to say is karma is hitting hard.

* (At a press conference on the 17th of September, Stockhausen was asked whether Luzifer, a character in Licht, was a historical figure or a myth.. Stockhausen said that Luzifer was real and cited the Attacks on USA as evidence. He went on to say, metaphorically, that Luzifer had seemed to achieve his greatest work of art through the painstaking planning, devastaition and mass killing of the attacks.

A Journalist for the NDR, selectively used some of Stockhausn's comments out of context in a high profile report that hugely embarrased the Sponsors of the Hamburg Festival. Quite deliberately, the NDR report had made no mention of the character Luzifer (the context of the quote) , and thus the report said that Stockhausen thought the terrorist attack was "The Greatest Work of Art Ever".)

2.) What is the LEAST hip music that has influenced you?

im not sure what "hip" is. maybe arab on radar? or yes?

3.) What does this sentence mean to you? "A rolling donut collects no frost."?

i dont know, i dont eat dounuts.

4.) What do you think of vegans who breast feed?

i wish i was brest fed. but its cool for those who get hooked up.

5.) Do you guys ever play or want to play any other type of music?

well gabe and i have this country band called THE GOD DAMN TUMBLEWEEDS. so yea. i really want to play drums for a live hip hop band too.

6.) Why do you keep refusing Mr. Pottymouth's advances? I hear he has quite the thing for you.

shit, if that rat bastard made advances towards me, id get all over that shit. he is the hottest thing since ragan when he had head surgery.
