1. Who are your heroes?
As we all know a hero ain’t nothin but a sandwich, but i have always been fond of Hunter S (dot) Thompson. not for any crazy deep reason. I just appreciate his general fuck everybody attitude. I think he’s funny as hell! The other would be Che Guevara. Sike!!! No on the some real shit.. O dog from menace to society. Do I really need to explain why?
2. If you weren’t making art, what do you think you’d be doing?
I remember when I was little telling my Mom that I was either gonna be a musician, or be in the mafia. But since I’m Irish, the highest level I could possibly rise to would be hit man. So I guess I would be a hit man. Or the guy who throws the peanuts at Dodger stadium. That’s still a great job I think. Seems relaxing, and you get to watch games for free! You never know. I may do that when I retire.
3. What’s the best (or dumbest) thing that’s been said to you after a show?
“Hey, you wanna try some ice?” I looked at the dude like.. What the fuck is this an after school special?!? Are you the dealer that’s trying to get me hooked!?! Is this hit free?? Get the fuck outta here.
4. Time for REAL TALK: Who is the biggest asshole you’ve ever shared a stage/studio with?
I’m not gonna sit here and act like I haven’t had problems with other artists, cuz I have. And I think allot of artists should be killed in the face, but most of that stuff happened when I was young, and have since squashed the beef. I’ve had some bad experiences with artists that i looked up to, which always sucks.
5. What films (and/or books) really inspired you that our reader should check out for themselves?
Fuck man, I read books on fear of flying and shit like that. nothing too interesting. I got this book recently on how to quit smoking, but the book says to keep smoking until your done with the book, so I’ve been on chapter 3 for 6 months! As far as films, I would highly recommend Young Guns 1 and 2. Might as well cop that soundtrack while your at it. It’s like cat nip for white people.
6. Who would you rather eat dinner with, Danny Devito or Dog The Bounty Hunter?
I’m gonna have to go with the Dog. To me, it don’t get much better then saying grace at the dinner table, sitting across from a 6 ft 9 tribal tatted, pepper ball gun totting man, sporting a dream catcher attached to a rat tail. Does it?
7. Was middle school your “Vietnam”? What were your survival tactics?
I actually got arrested in middle school (real talk) once for pulling out a loaded 38 special, and again for lighting a trash can on fire in the locker room. I actually didn’t set the trash can on fire, but when they searched everyone, I had matches, and cigarettes, so I took the charge. So I guess middle school was almost exactly like Vietnam for me. It had napalm and firearms. If only it had that delicious PHO soup as well!
8. Do you have hope for this new generation of Lindsay Lohan worshipping, TMZ sucking, music downloading (and have never owned a cd or LP), fast food gobbling teenagers? Are they a lost cause?
Of course there is hope. It’s these conditions that inspire the few rebels that will change the world later. It’s happened in every generation. This kind of bullshit is totally necessary.
9. You are guilty of shameful things. What are these BAAAAAD things?
In all honesty, I used to do really fucked up things to animals when I was young. I feel bad about that to this day. I’ve spent the last 20 yrs of my life trying to make up for it, I wont even kill a spider. But as an adult, I’m not ashamed of anything. I feel that I’m a good person. I wouldn’t do anything that I would be ashamed of.
10. What could you NOT live with out?
Good old American, cold activated, refreshing rocky mountain, frost brewed, COORS. FUCKING. LIGHT!
11. What’s the most important life lesson you’ve ever learned?
Nobody gives a fuck about you, more than you. I’ve learned to get what I want, without waiting on somebody else to do it for me. It sounds stupid, but I used to think if I waited my turn, success would eventually come to me. It wasn’t the case. I was fortunate enough to retain the lesson and put into practice what I’ve learned. Sometimes making mistakes is a blessing in disguise.
12. What band should people reading this be listening to?
Hopefully – Get Busy Committee.
13. Give the internet some words to live by…. we all know it needs some!
Ok, for people new to Twitter, here is what you should NOT do…
1) In your tweets, do not say “Hey, whats up Twitterland” that shit is waaack!
2) Do not start your morning tweet with ” Just wakin up in the morning gotta thank God, i don’t know but today seems kinda odd”
This tweet is done about 1 trillion times a day, it’s corny and un-original.
However, there 3 things that you MUST do, if your new to Twitter
1) follow @buddyhead
2) follow @TherealRyu
3) follow my band @GetbusycommittE
