INTERVIEW: Wednesday 13 of Wednesday 13 & Murderdolls
Interviewed: Wednesday 13
Artist: Wednesday 13
Interviewer: Derek
Date: 2/28/05
Derek: Hey bud, thanks for taking the time to speak
with me. Last time I spoke with you we had an in-depth conversation
about the love affair between Lady Jay and Flint in GI Joe. Will
you finally admit that you had a thing for Lady Jay?
Wednesday 13: No, Actually I preferred the Baroness,
but her accent was so fucking annoying.
Derek: (Laughs) Agreed! Besides you had no shot,
she was porking Destro! So tell me how you namesake will differ
from Murderdolls musically. What does it mean to have complete
control over the direction of the band, and what is your ultimate
vision for the band?
Wednesday 13: I don't think this a major departure
from what I've done in the past. Murderdolls, musically was like
my old band Frankenstein Drag Queens but the image was a lot different.
This is a combination I think of everything I've done. I do what
I know, and I haven't tried to take on a new style. I just wanted
something that I was a 100% in control of, so far everything has
been like a complete computer print out of the vision I have in
my head.
Derek: Is Murderdolls still alive and well?
Wednesday 13: Murderdolls is on a hiatus for now.
We all have different things going on and no one knows when we
will be getting back together to do another album or tour.
Derek: What is the one song you are most excited
about with Wednesday 13, and why? What does it mean.....please
tell me you did a song about Constantine....what a great movie!
Wednesday 13: There is no one song that I'm particularly
excited about. I'm just excited about the whole record all together,
I'm really proud of it. I love every song on the album and they
were all carefully selected form a selection of about 100 songs
I wrote for over a year. The first single "I walked with a
zombie" is a favorite of mine and after seeing the finished
video of the song it's on a new level for me.
Derek: Have you ever gotten a chance to play with
the Misfits, and if not what would it mean for you to do so?
Wednesday 13: I opened for the Misfits with my old
band in 1998. Believe it or not, I wasn't even a fan of them at
the time and even though I'm a fan now and enjoy all of their stuff,
they are not the reason I play music, or horror related themed
songs. Actually, Alice Cooper has been my inspiration for what
I do, as well as Twisted Sister, Motley Crue and the Texas Chainsaw
Massacre family..,..and Cobra the enemy!!!
Derek: This is a question that might be a bit personal.
But what is wrong with religion? I mean really? What is your opinion
on it, and with the Pope about to kick off, what would you do if
you were offered the dead Pope's job?
Wednesday 13: Religion is okay,
if you keep yours to yourself and don't shove it down everyone's
throat. I live in the bible belt of North Carolina where there
is a church on every corner and an I love Jesus bumper sticker
on every car, so I'm basically surrounded by it. If people need
religion to make themselves complete and happy, then I have no
problem with it, just dont throw it on me. The Pope's job looks
boring as fuck, and I sure as fuck wouldn't want it.
Derek: (laughs) Awesome! Any lasting impressions
you would like to leave folks with about
Wednesday 13.
Wednesday 13: I just want people to have fun when
they see my show or listen to my music. If your looking for the
answers to the worlds problems you've came to the wrong place.
Derek: Last question! Is Megatron more powerful then
Optimus Prime?
(laughs)
Wednesday 13: Of Course Megaton is more powerful.
Heres a question for you...is Starscream from Transformers voice
actually that of Cobra Commander??
Derek: Good question I have always thought that it
was the same person, but was far to lazy to do the research. But
great observation! Best of luck with things, and hope to see you
spooking around New England
soon.
Wednesday 13: Thanks! |
