1. What has
been your biggest accomplishment so far?
The biggest accomplishment so far, is just remaining true to
what we do, and not being influenced by popular trends in today's
music. We have self released 3 records within 5 years, had them
re-released all over Europe along with various singles and with
no management to help...just ourselves
2. What do
you do in your spare time?
I love to watch movies when I am on vacation, spend time with my
wife and daughter. Write music, design new stage props,
costumes, and make-up.
3. I know
that you have a young daughter. What does she think of her
Daddy's scary look, assuming she has seen you dressed up?
My daughter is not frightened by my stage look- she calls me her
Monster Daddy. You have to understand that in our home,
Frankenstein is a common character that my daughter speaks of,
as well as Barney and Blue's Clues... she hates the Teletubbies.
4. Does the
band hang out together often? Do you get along well outside of
the band?
Yeah, we get along very well, and it is because we dont spend a
lot of time together outside of the band. Seaweed and I do hang
out together regularly but that is because we live 5 minutes
away from each other, Zero is an hour away. We hang out and
watch movies, talk, and make fun of things. We are rarely all
together at one time unless it is band related. I wish we could
spend more time together and hang out but it doesn't always work
that way.

1. What
turned you on,
or at what
age,
did you start to like/love horror type ideas, movies, etc.?
I started getting in to horror movies at a very early age. I
remember they had some Creature Feature Shows on some channel
all week long and you had to get 3-D glasses from the Fast Fare
Store to watch them. I would collect action figures and watch
Commander USA's Groovie Movies every Saturday on the USA
channel. I remember seeing the trailers for the Nightmare on Elm
Street movies and The Friday the 13th films when they we're
first coming out. That was some of the greatest times in my life
and that's why horror films will always be within me.

1. What
do you like best about being in a band?
I like being in a band because it is something that I helped
create that I know I have control over. No one steps into our
world and pulls the strings, we are the puppet masters on Planet
13 and we make the rules. I just enjoy making music and
entertaining people. It's a great feeling to have someone come
up to you and tell you how much your music means to them or how
it inspired them.
2. What
bands would you most like to go on tour with or do a show with? Well,
unfortunately all the bands that I would want to play with are
dead, broke up, or finished. If I had to play with anyone now it
would be Alice Cooper, The Misfits, Iggy Pop, The Damned,
AC/DC or one of my favorite bands from not long ago that I heard
reformed, Warrior Soul.
3. What do
you think about MTV?
MTV is not what it used to be. What the fuck happened to
Headbangers Ball? To many dumb shows and nothing even interesting,
except for the show Jack Ass, because it is just dumb and funny
as fuck. MTV is just trendy and I will never be into the MTV
train of thought or fashion.

1. What was
your biggest musical influence?? What certain bands made you
want to be a musician??
The biggest musical influence for me personally is the original
Alice Cooper band. These guys were out of control,
unpredictable, dangerous, ugly, pretty, disgusting and appealing
all at the same time. Then there were the songs, and these songs
were just brilliant. They just did it before anyone else did it,
knew about, or heard about. The originators of what we see today
starting with the Sex Pistols to Kiss to the Plasmatics to
Motley Crue to Marilyn Manson to The Misfits to us. I grew up on
Alice, Twisted Sister, Kiss, Motley Crue and everything
else that was around then. But the more shocking it was the
better and the more I wanted to create something like it.
