I was bringing my attitude as a regular person 'cause this is my attitude.Collection: Attitude
Diet is really important, and I think vitamins are really important, also.Collection: Diet
Wars have always started over religion.Collection: Religion
In Japan, they have TV sets in cars right now, where you can punch up traffic routes, weather, everything! You can get Internet access already in cars in Japan, so within the next 2 to 3 years it's gonna be so crazy!Collection: Car
It's what's missing, I think, from most music - the rebellious part. That rebelliousness is part of great rock music or great literature or any great creative stuff.Collection: Music
Until the contract is signed, nothing is real.
To some people heavy metal is Motorhead and to others it's Judas Priest.
I don't see any holy wars being fought in the name of Satan.
When I grew up as a kid, a part of my life - I grew up in Boston near Revere Beach, at my grandma's, and she would take me to the beach.
It's annoying when someone's in front of you driving ten miles an hour, and you're like, 'Okay, today,' and someone else is on the side of you, so you can't pass them, and when you finally do pass them and they are texting, the laser cannons just come out and disintegrate that car.
I'm a big Fred Armisen fan.
However you feel about Dimebag, this is one of the most influential metal guitar players of the '90s. I was just talking to someone that I am hiring to bring on the tour who said that, when he was at the funeral, that Eddie Van Halen came and put his striped guitar in the coffin. That's a pretty big deal.
The occult - what do you mean, Jesus? That's occult to me. It's so far-fetched, it's ridiculous.
No trick or treaters came to my house for Halloween. For some reason, people around here are scared of me.
My view on Democrats is that they're fascists disguised as liberals, or liberal moderates. You're not allowed to say anything they don't agree with. You're not allowed to do anything.
I just told you I wasn't a Satanist.
You know I take music seriously, right? So I expect journalists to take being a journalist seriously.
But unfortunately, I have to say, one out of every 100 interviews I do, I get a real journalist.
Of course, I started really being a comics fan with the underground stuff in the '70s.
Yeah, now we publish whenever we feel like it.
We probably put about four or five comic books out a year and probably about two or three art books and various trade paperbacks - maybe four or five of those a year - and that's what we do now.
We still have pretty good sales, especially for the art books.
Whether I'm doing music or I'm walking down the street or I'm in a record store buying a record or I walk into a comic store and I'm buying comics or having a drink with my friends, it's the same me.
I think the key to being a journalist is getting your subject to feel comfortable enough to talk about stuff they want to talk about and the stuff they like and don't like, and still feel comfortable about it.
We're doing Circle of Snakes, we open up with Skin Carver and we are throwing in Skull Forest later on.
We've had a lot of agencies try and sabotage our tour.
I'm just saying that at least for the foreseeable future there won't be any more touring.
I know they are going to be doing a box set in Europe of Danzig 5 and 6 and some other stuff.
But the Danzig unreleased stuff will be either a single or a double CD.
It's not like that anymore really, but back in the day, nobody would let the Misfits open up for them, not the Ramones, not the Cramps, nobody.
I don't think there's a back lot here in Hollywood anymore that has those streets, like a French Quarter.
The Democratic party has gone so far to the left that people just can't relate to it anymore and the Republican party is trying to go totally to the right.
People don't realize that they're being played by the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, but more so by the Democratic Party because the Democratic Party does not want another party in there.
I wish the Libertarian Party would get more play in the media but they don't.
I think the Democratic Party has picked a lot of the wrong candidates, the kind that Middle America, or people who are more down the middle and more rational, can't side with. I think that's been the problem.
So writing a song is much harder than doing a classical piece for me, because in a classical piece, I can just let the mood dictate what's going to happen.
But when you get to a song, not only do you have to do a vocal melody, you have to write words and not be redundant and make some semblance of a story.
Al Gore wanted to tell people what they could listen to and what they couldn't, what they could record. It was basically coming down to the idea that he wouldn't let anybody record any music that he didn't think you should be doing. There was going to be an organization that would tell you what you could and couldn't record.
My idea of covers is that you should never cover a song and do it exactly like the artist because everyone's always going to compare it to the way the original artists did it, and they're just going to go, 'Oh I like the original better.'
If you're working with a producer like Rick Rubin or whatever, you sing each line probably 30 different ways. Each time, they're like, 'Can you try it this way? Can you try it that way?' That's each line in the song, for each song.
I don't really go to the beach.
Everyone thinks L.A. is the beach. And actually, Hollywood is really far from the beach.
I just play music, you know what I mean? That's what I want to spend my time talking about.
I was watching TV once, and 'Jailhouse Rock' comes on, and I'm like, 'What is this?' I started watching it, and at the end, I thought, 'This is what I want to do. That's what I want to be. That's for me. That's it!'
I hadn't done a photo cover in a while, and I decided to do a take on the 'Pin Ups' cover, but do it in skull face and have the girl in skull face. People seem to dig it.
You'd be surprised the type of people who are into metal when you see them. Sometimes I'm even surprised, but it's cool. That's the reason it's still around.
Whether or not the devil is really good or evil is something that we don't really know.
I had a situation where Bill Clinton sent the F.B.I. after me.
I like Bill Murray a real lot. I like Andy Kaufman.
I don't think anyone in my family was funny.
