right then i am just about to nip on a plane to iceland but before i go i will leave you with Dave Wyndorf's interview:
******************************************
Monster Magnet are as close to what Jack Daniels and a large joint would sound like if such things were able to musically voice themselves. Rock with a definite roll, rasping and bullsome with a psychedelic haze they are longstanding kings of hedonistic guitar fuelled attitude, just dont try and tell them that rock is dead....
BRIT: Mr Wyndorf, the current monolithic baby tour has been approached in 2 formats with you playing some venues with a hit based format and others with what you phrased as a music based format. What made you decide to do this?
DW: The psych shows this summer are the beginning of the expansion of the Monster Magnet universe. Who's to say a band can't put out different vibes for different tours? It's an experiment to see if the crowd can bust through any pre conceived notions of what Monster Magnet is supposed to be like live. I'm confident in the music as well as in the stereotypical big rock blitzkrieg. It's a risk but what the hell. So get ready to writhe your naked ass to the mindless groove!
BRIT: Are you looking forward to playing the Donnington Download festival?
DW: Download is a half an hour set and a media glom. I'm ready.
BRIT: Are you going to have time to check out the SG burlesque show?
DW: Where?! When?! Color me THERE!
BRIT: You have had Glucifier supporting you through this tour - which other bands should we take note of in your view?
DW: Witchcraft, White Stripes and the new Fall album
BRIT: Would you follow in the footsteps of bands such as Motley Crue and have an authorised biography of your life or the band?
DW: A bio would destroy my life as I know it. Dr. Jekyll doesnt want to know MR. Hyde.
BRIT: Monster Magnet live are a true show, which bands inspired you?
DW: The Ramones, Iggy and the Stooges, the MC5, Hawkwind, the Butthole Surfers, Mudhoney, Portishead
BRIT: Which places do you think are best to play live?
DW: Working class areas - the people know the value of the ROCK!
BRIT: Do you ever get frustrated at the current music scene?
DW: Who doesn't? The Mainstream music System sucks big fucking moosecock and everybody knows it. What's worse is that there are Millions of suckers out there that actually like this shite! AND the press goes right along with it because of advertising $$$$$. Especially in England and the US. Shame Shame!
BRIT: What was the last record you listened to?
DW: Blaxploitation Vol.2. White stripes - Elephant. Ghost. Nancy Sinatra. Vivaldi. Massive Attack. Grand funk railroad, live.
BRIT: Whats your opinion on the mp3 situation and the legal battles surrounding downloaded music?
DW: You can't un-invent the wheel. But it does piss me off when people think art is free because it's not. The common vibe on free denotes a lack of respect. That is directly reflected in popular taste. It's no mistake that there's more product but less quality out there. Because one can get things for free - they care less. Bye Bye Art! Hello crap!
BRIT: And in typical SG style... List 5 things you couldn't live without...
DW: 1. Chocolate 2. Intellectual stimulation (and all that this implies) 3. Creative outlets. 4. Nature. 5. Family.
BRIT: Finally, any thoughts on the suicide girls?
DW: Interesting concept. Hope it helps more than it hurts (cyberland can do serious damage to the easily damaged ego) Would LOVE to hook up for an all out Roman style orgy of excess on stage at a Monster Magnet show. The people loooove it! I loooove it!
