Transcript of Steel Panther interview. Warning: contains naughty words

Transcript of interview with Satchel, Steel Panther.

Dale: How’s it going?

Satchel: Oh man, it’s going awesome- I’m kicking so much ass right now.

D:[laughs] Sweet, so you’re kicking ass, how’s the band doing?

S: Well the band’s not doing so good, uh, Michael, he’s about 35 pounds over weight right now so we’re gonna try to get him down to fighting weight before we come down to New Zealand

D: Fair enough

S: [continues] and uh, but he’s eating a lot. He eats pizza every day so it’s not easy to do.

D: Sweet, I understand it looks like you have a residency at the house of blues in both LA and vegas for the next, well till you come to NZ basically, what’s up with that? You party in Vegas and head home to LA, is that what’s going on?

S: We’ve been doing that for quite some time, you know, years and years of, you know, basically residencies at House of Blues in LA and Vegas and been attracting audiences from, you know, dozens of miles away for, to see those shows and uh, we’ve pretty much established ourselves as one of the top fifty heavy metal bands in the Vegas-LA area and I think by doing that we’ve secured our place in rock n roll history and also pretty much secured a lot of really hot pussy for ourselves, you know, over the years.

D: sweet

S: can I say pussy?

D: you can whatever the hell, cunt, pussy, fuck, shit you want

S: oh fuck yeah dude, that’s fucking bitchin

D: I noticed when American stars go to, lets say Britain, they do get shocked that you say swear words on tv, even things like farting and pooping and shit like that- is that what you guys play on? You sort of just, essentially got your balls out for the American public and they’re all shocked?

S: Are they shocked? The American public?

D: Yeah

S: You know, I don’t know… we.. I think people are.. I think we’re a breath of fresh air in America, you know ‘cos we’re just totally brutally honest about everything which, where most people in America are full of shit, I don’t know if you noticed that, like we, I wouldn’t lie about anything. I can tell you right now that my penis, when it’s totally hard, is nine inches long and I don’t bullshit about that kind of thing, you know what I’m saying. So people, you know, when you’re honest with them, I think people like that and I tell girls when I about to have sex with them that I have Genital warts and I haven’t done anything about it, but it’s ribbed for their pleasure and I think girls like that kind of thing, you know, they know they’re going to catch diseases with me and, you know, they’re okay with that. I think girls would rather you be honest with them than be full of shit and as long as you’re, as long as they think you’re being honest you can pretty much lie as much as you want. You hear what I’m saying? [laughs]

D: so good advice to follow [laughs] I’m gonna jump straight in and ask some basic questions about your NZ show, are you guys looking forward to coming down here?

S: Oh my god, we’ve never been to NZ it’s gonna be fucking awesome. I can’t wait. I’ve heard a lot about New Zealand and how beautiful it is. I heard the girls there are really, really easy to fuck which is awesome. And, especially, we’ve got, like, at least seven to twelve hard core Steel Panther there and I think that by the time we play it’s gonna be a sold out show and uh, we’re gonna get, it’s gonna be awesome it’ll probably be the best show that we’ve ever done and may even be the last show we ever do. So don’t forget to by your ticket, come if you’re watching, listening or reading.

D: Well as a side note, the venue you’re playing at, about ten years ago fear factory who are also playing pretty close to when you are, last time they played at that venue they did that whole brake up thing back in 2001,so could happen…

S: Broke up?

D: I don’t know being in the glam metal scene if you know too much about fear factory but in 2001/2002 they sorta had a bit of a band issue

S: they broke up after NZ?

D: They played here in December, that January they were broke up.

S: Oh you know what, you guys don’t have to worry about that because we’ll never break up because there’s uh, right now we’re making more money than we’ve ever made. We all make one to two hundred dollars a week now which is more than we’ve ever made and Michael still works at Starbucks by his house three days a week when we’re not on the road so you know there’s too much money involved for us to quite this band at this point, even though we can’t stand each other, we’re just, you know, we’re all in it for the money, we’re basically musical whores and that’s what we’re gonna do- keep on rocking, uh, for the money sake. We could play New Zealand a hundred times and we’ll never break up, you know we’re like Elton John gonna keep on whoring ourselves out… for the money.
 

D: sweet, now for the uninitiated what can fans expect from a Steel Panther show, I ask because not only are you balls out heavy metal but you’re also fucking funnyas well.

S: Right on, what can they expect from a Steel Panther show?

D: yeah.

S:  Well, I tell you what, they can expect, I’m not trying to be, I know this might sound like I’m full of myself man you know and all that but they can expect the best motherfucking  heavy metal show they’ve ever fucking seen in their goddamn lives and I’m not bullshitting. And I do have a nine inch dick. That’s fucking straight up true. Let me tell you something, when people come and they see our show they’re gonna be like dude I heard satchel say it’s gonna be the best show I’ve ever seen and you know what, that guy must have a nine inch dick because that was the best fucking show I’ve ever seen in my life, and if he’s not bullshitting about the show then I wanna suck his dick, I mean girls will say that, some guys will probably say it too, ‘cos some guys really like to suck nine inch dicks

D: there you go.

S: how’s that?

D: there’s almost a band named after nine inch somethings

S: [laughs] what’s that?

D: there’s almost a band named after nine inch something’s, they were nails, but still.

S: I know right? Nine inch dicks, that’s actually the original name for Trent Reznor’s band but I already had a copy right on that so I wouldn’t let him use it.

D: sweet, now NZ’s only a small place, you’ve probably got a few other people wanting to talk to you from NZ, you mentioned nine inches to me, are you talking, ten inches to someone else, eight and half to someone else so when you’re sitting out there and you hear ten inches you know, or is just flat stick with the truth, I guess with nine inches..

S: Yeah, well honestly my dick can get to ten inches if I’m really super aroused. It also depends on where I’m measuring it from, if I put the ruler at the base of my butthole that’s like an extra inch, you know what I mean, I can totally do that. Do you guys use inches down there, or do you use centimetres?

D: We use centimetres for everything except for penis length.

S: oh penis length, good then girls know what nine or ten inches is, then.

D: yeah

S: I wouldn’t have to say, what would the equivalent in centimetres, like probably a hundred centimetres, right…

D: [laughs]

S: my dick is a hundred centimetres long

D: yeah, yeah um,

S: Fire hose

D: fire hose.. um now a basic question. I’m kinda regretting asking stupid questions [i.e. given the humorous responses]

S: there are no stupid questions only stupid answers alright.

D: there you go, do you guys like playing in front of the big festival crowds where there’s more people to be the centre of attention in front of, or the smaller club shows where you can mess with the crowd and I guess get groupies.

S: You know what I like ‘em both, it’s hard to, I don’t really, I personally don’t care whether we play, I mean I like playing in front of a lot of people, I also like playing in front of small audiences. As long as the people are enjoying themselves, because that’s the main thing. You know, when you’re in front of a big audience you still have a tendency to focus on the first ten or twelve rows of people anyway, ‘cos you can see their faces, those first ten or twelve rows is where you’re gonna pick the girls you’re gonna fuck after the show, you’re like lining them up, basically like of that girls got nice tits, that girls missing her front teeth I don’t wanna fuck her. You know you’re gonna look at those girls, you can’t, the further back you go they all start to look hot from a distance, in the dark, so, you try to pick the ones that are pretty close anyway so, there’s your answer for that.

D: there you go. There’s a few youtube videos floating around of some of your club shows, the last one I saw had Vinnie Paul and as you call him Chaz Kruger up on stage, and if that weren’t enough you were making fun of them the whole time, certain before they got close enough to hit you. Is that something you guys like to do if you see someone?

S: You know what? There’s so many things on youtube, but I know that night you’re talking about, ‘cos that only happened one time and both those dudes were totally hammered, you know, it’s a funny thing ‘cos Chad, I like to call him Chaz ‘cos I’ve known him for quite a long time and people don’t realise how heavy metal he is, he takes a lot of shit ‘cos he’s you know Nickelback guy, but deep down he’s pretty metal and right after that show he went out, he went drinking, two days he was drinking in strip bars up all night, and Vinnie ran into him the second night that he was out. This was in Vegas, and Vinnie went out the next night and he saw Chaz, Chad you know, and um, Vinnie like you know, apparently Chad had been out like the whole night from the night before, he still hadn’t gone home yet. He pissed himself and shit it was awesome, totally heavy metal.

D: sweet.

S: He was so drunk he peed himself in a strip joint.

D: That happens all the time here in NZ

S: [laughs]

D: there’s another one, a facebook comment. As soon as your show was announced in NZ there was all these online things and someone made the point of noticing and I gotta ask this as well, what your comment on it is. They said it takes an enormous set of balls to play the song “Asian hooker” in Japan. Is that you guys pushing the envelope in terms of common decency, manners and taste, or did your tour rider get mixed up?

S: you know what , a lot of people have probably thought when they’ve seen the festivals we’ve done in Japan. I don’t know if it went over well or not, ‘cos we never got invited back, and maybe that’s saying something but that was the first song we ever played in Japan in front of about twenty thousand people at the Loud Park Festival and we opened up with “Asian Hooker” and you know, what else can you say, I though they loved it, the crowd went nuts, I saw a lot of Japanese boobs.

D: With your first one, Feel the Steel, it was an almost classic mix of comedy and glam but with the second one [balls out] it’s gotten very misogynistic, certainly in some songs, do you have much problems with protesting womens/religious or conservative type groups at your shows?

S: No, you know, we’ve never had anybody, we’ve never had any picket lines or protesters and uh, most of the women, I’ve never seen a women at our show look offended, that came to see us. Although we did do a show just about four days ago in a place called Hershey [spelling?] Pennsylvania, we did a festival with a bunch of other bands, I don’t even know how we got on the festival because we did, I was Steel Panther, New Kids on the Block, there was Kelly Clarkson played this festival, the Backstreet boys were at this festival, and it was Steel Panther. There were some women in the front row that I was thrusting my nine incher at, and they looked incredibly offended. But, a lot of the time those girls who look super offended because they think you’re sexist or misogynistic [tele-operator jumps in with 2minute warning] they’re the first to suck your dick backstage.

D: [laughs]

S: [laughs, obviously didn’t hear the tele-operator] they like it, I don’t know why that is.

D: I made a comment here, if you don’t have any- would you like some, because I’m sure an email to the local college women’s group with your song lyrics would have them turning up in droves.

S: yeah, you saying you’re gonna invite them down to the show?

D: yeah, have them protesting outside the show, it’ll be good, make the news.

S: make a flyer or something.

D: yeah,

S: Maybe we’ll send ‘em a picture of me naked. I’m sure those girls if they came to the show, they’d probably quit that club. [chuckles]

D: We gotta wrap up so- Are you guys, Steel Panther, looking forward to coming to NZ and destroying our precious innocence, as it were?

S: Oh can’t wait. New Zealand’s gonna be the best show we’ve done all year, I guarantee it, and I’m having new Spandex made for it.

Parkway drive's Winston HFH interview

Dale from the Hard Fast and Heavy show calls up Winston, vocalist from Aussie band Parkway Drive in early september 2010 before their headlining September NZ shows.

DALE: How’s your slice of paradise at the moment with Parkway Drive?
WINSTON: It’s really really nice, first day of spring, sun’s out, it’s uh, yeah- really good day.

DALE: Funnily enough, sounds like you could be in NZ, for once it’s a sunny day
WINSTON: *laughs* For once, you’re not England, you’re New Zealand, New Zealand’s nice- we have very good memories of that place.

DALE: Well, you seem to come to NZ after an album, and it tends to be this time of year any way (referring to Southern hemisphere summer)
WINSTON: Yeah, and the other times we’ve, well I’ve ever been to NZ is around this time of year ‘cos we like to go snow boarding. Yeah I guess I can only judge NZ from Spring slash winter time.

DALE: Some of your upcoming (September 2010) NZ gigs are all sold out, does that come as a shock to you, or is just F**k yeah we sold out..
WINSTON: Yeah, it’s kinda bizarre. I think it’s the first time we’ve sold out a show in NZ, so I …I don’t know what’s changed since the last time we came- it was definitely awesome last time, coming over to New Zealand, it’s a place we love playing but to sell a show out this time, it’s mental- we’re definitely looking forward to that gig.

DALE: I found out a few hours ago that wellington’s also sold out, making 2 outta 3
WINSTON: Really? I didn’t even realise that, ok, two out of the three that’s a nice average *laughs*
DALE: Don’t quote me on it, but I’m sure I read you sold out Wellington
WINSTON: Cool, Rippa. That’s insane.

DALE: After your September shows, you’re coming back…
WINSTON: Yeah we are on the No sleep til tour, which is, I think December. So it’s pretty insane- we haven’t been to NZ in I think 2 years, and all of a sudden we’re gonna be there two months-two times in two month’s pretty decent… making up for it, yeah, nice, looking forward to it.

DALE: What was the decision to be attached to that? ‘cos from a vague observers point of view, you’d be back overseas: Europe and the states, around that time of year, maybe..
WINSTON: It was just a… we’re back in Europe before that, we go to Europe in November, and then we just.. I don’t know it’s an amazing lineup and the people putting it on are friends of ours and it was just one of those situations that we thought ‘this looks really really fun’ so it’s not every day where we get to do a tour like that, especially in Australia and NZ- we don’t have the opportunity to be apart of the Big Day Out or anything and Soundwave doesn’t want to put us on so yeah as soon as we get that chance we’re gonna take it.

DALE: Sweet, are you looking forward to sharing the stage with GWAR?
WINSTON: We’ve done that once already, actually! It’s insane, if anyone’s never seen that live show it’s definitely one to see, like it’s.. I’m not even familiar with their music and I sat there and watched the whole set, like its.. its.. yeah *laughs* It’s one to be seen, out it that way.

DALE: I read somewhere that after a mere four hours of “Deep Blue” being released onto iTunes Australia it reached number 2
WINSTON: Yeah, it’s pretty bizarre isn’t it. *laughs* I don’t even know what to make of that kind of stuff. It’s one of those things where… it’s been three years since we put out a record and we wrote something we’re definitely proud of but then to see your name associated with numbers like that, it’s kind of surreal I guess- all of a sudden your name’s in charts and things like that you kinda go “really?” like is that actually happening? What does that mean, it kinda doesn’t make sense especially with the kinda music we make so yeah, I guess.. It might make sense when we start playing shows and we can, like, garner I guess the crowds reaction to the newer songs or something like that. But at the moment it’s kind of surreal.

DALE: Working on the album, you worked with Joe Barresi, he’s worked with some big names: Clutch, Tool, The Melvins, what was it like working with him?
WINSTON: Amazing! umm, he worked in a completely different manner to what we’re used to and that’s exactly what we were aiming for, and he’s definitely.. as you can see from the types of bands he’s done, he’s done a lot of different bands, massive bands- there’s no two bands that sound the same put it that way and he definitely has a very old school approach to the way he works, and it’s not so much digitally based which is what we’re looking for, so, he pushed us very hard to actually be musicians as opposed to being props for a computer to do the work on the recording side of things, so, we used a hell of a lot of his old vintage gear, and just basically worked our arses off. He was the kinda guy that said ‘here’s the tools to make the record, it’s up to you what sounds come out, I’ll show you how to make what you’re interesting in but I’m not gonna tell you what to do’ so it was a very interesting recording experience. To be honest it was the only time I actually felt like a musician being in this band, so it was pretty amazing to be apart and to be honest it’s my favourite record we’ve ever made and I think it will probably always be that way.

DALE: Regarding Adam D, he did your last two albums, didn’t he?
WINSTON: Yeah yeah, when I speak so highly of joe it’s definitely not a situation were like, “Adam sucks, we’re never gonna work with that guy again” we actually tried working with Adam and we couldn’t get our schedule to align and then, I guess we came to the conclusion it was never gonna happen so we had to work out who else to work with, stuck with no ideas and the idea of working with Joe came around it seemed so far from what we were used to that all of a sudden it made sense to go in that direction and go to the complete opposite of being comfortable, so that’s why it worked and whether or not we work with Adam again in the future or Joe remains to be seen, but I’d love to work with both of them again, or something.

DALE: Has the process of putting an album together, now that you’re a more globally recognised band, changed at all?
WINSTON: Umm, not.. well actually this album did change and it wasn’t so much because of I guess the band playing different places or anything like that, it was more the fact that we tried to write a record in a different manner and we tried to record it in a different manner as well. That being- we tried to write an album, it sounds weird but I guess when we’ve written in the past we’ve always just written songs and we get to a certain number of songs and say ‘yep, that’s enough for a record’ and as opposed to doing it that way we said ‘ lets write x amount of songs and we have to have one song that sounds like this and it has go into the next song that sounds like this, this kinda feel, and the next one has to have this kinda feel to match the one before it, and basically took everything into account when we were actually writing the individual songs as to how’d they’d work with one another, as opposed to getting to the end and putting it in order and chucking them on a record, kinda thing. So that was the way we tried to write this record and it was definitely something different and it lead to a different way of writing and recording as well, so I think that’s why this record came out sounding a little different to everything else.

DALE: With a title like “Deep Blue”, is it the closest thing you’re gonna put out that’s a hint to Byron Bay, surfie record or anything like that?
WINSTON: Maybe, maybe the title actually came from the ocean and one specific experience to cut a long story short we ended up, myself and our guitarist Luke, ended up in a boat looking for another boat about.. would’ve been several kilometres off shore to the point were you couldn’t see land and it was a crystal clear day, the water was absolutely perfectly clear but at the same time was the darkest, most ominous looking thing that I’ve probably ever seen in my life and at the same time it was completely still. It was just one of those things were it puts everything into perspective and you realise how small you are in relation to everything; I’m someone who’s spent my entire life being on the ocean and swimming and surfing and what not, it was the calmest day in the world and I felt that if I even touched that water I’d drown, so yeah that’s were the title came from.

DALE: Fair enough
WINSTON: *laughs*

DALE: With all the big tours and shows you’re doing, with big names, you just came off the Warp tour
WINSTON: Yes we have, still in recovery mode from that one
DALE: All these sort of things, something you take in your stride or are there moments were you can’t help but reflect on where you are..
WINSTON: It’s pretty insane that tour, there’s a lot of moments where you do say ‘wow look what I’m doing’ and then theres… it’s literally 45 shows in a row and a couple of off dates in the middle, which you then play off date shows on, and it gets to the point where after 2 months of playing you almost forget where you started and there’s so many good shows that top the one before it, or something insane happens, like there’s so many stories from that tour it’s ridiculous but you have trouble remembering them all. It’s one of those things where someone will tell you something and you’re like oh yeah that happened on this tour and it’s still going. So it was a mental, mental tour to be apart of, it’s kind of boot camp for bands- it’s ridiculously hot, ridiculously long and very intense.

DALE: To recap, you’re coming to New Zealand- in September and December
WINSTON: Yep
DALE: have a new album out
WINSTON: Yeah, got a new album out and pretty much everything new for us. It’s the first time we get to play a bunch of new songs, have a new album out, haven’t been to New Zealand for a couple of years, so it’s a lot to be excited about for us, so we’ll see how we go now- all that remains to be seen is the shows

GWAR's Oderus Urungus Interview Transcript.

Dale, host of the Hard Fast and Heavy show calls Oderus Urungus from the band GWAR, on the 26th October 2010 about many things, including their appearance at No Sleep til Auckland. Aired on the show on the 1st of November 2010.

ODERUS: Hello!
DALE: Hi, this is Dale speaking from New Zealand, am I speaking to... the ... man from GWAR?
ODERUS: Yes, yes, you're talking to Oderus from GWAR.

DALE: Oderus from GWAR, so how has your time with GWAR been?
ODERUS: Well right now we're engaged in a... act of assault against the population of the planet Earth through our musical, metallic, mutated, mayhem, metal horror show! Our new album is out next month! The Bloody Pit of Horror! We're currently on tour in the United States, getting ready for that cataclysmic event, and getting ready to come to New Zealand and Australia for the very first time and expose the peoples of your fair countries To... The... Sickest.. Band... In Rock n Roll History!

DALE: Excellent, now: you're in Ohio at the moment and tomorrow you're gonna be in East St Louis, I'm assuming the states is a big place, so it must help being a war-mongering space alien with all the travel you have to do?
ODERUS: Oh no, we enjoy it. Allot of people don't realise the human cities are linked with sub-terrainian tunnels that honey comb your planet, and there's often a very convenient, kind of, like, little jet cars you can drive around on. So, we've got a whole system underneath the planet where we just kind of pop up from various cave entrances, right before we play. Doesn't seem like a lot of time goes by.

DALE: Sweet, so coming to New Zealand isn't gonna be a problem then?
ODERUS: Not at all, and it's just, uh... it's really all we've ever done with our lives, is go from one place to another, you know, set up our war camp, begin our savage sounds, draw in the humans, slaughter them, fight giant robots, and finally feed our pet dinosaur Gor-gor. So everything is going to be wonderful, we'll just have to see what happens when we get to New Zealand: there's always some super-powered A-Hole trying to shut the party down, that we have to deliver some swift kicks to the ass.

DALE: Hell yeah, now recently you were Grand Marshall at the Toronto zombie walk & awarded Harvard Lampoon's Most Terrible vile disgusting disturbed yet revoltingly awesome band ever: such things must be quite the ego rush for you..
ODERUS: No, not really. I see them as completely meaningless accolades, bestowed upon us by a retarded child, and that would be the human race, that we created by fucking apes- I might remind you of that. So, uh, pitiful attempts to assuage our boundless wrath and, you know, if they think you're gonna get off any easier because of these awards they keep heaping on us, they are completely wrong.

DALE: Now as you mentioned, you have "Bloody Pit of Horror" coming out soon, and I personally couldn't get enough of "Beyond Hell" and thought "Lust in Space" was pretty cool, do you think I'm gonna enjoy your new album?
ODERUS: Yes I do, I think people are really gonna enjoy it, like all GWAR albums it sounds completely different to the one before it, but it's heavy as hell and even tuned down and very extra nasty to the point where it literally sounds like the guitars are throwing up- in a good way. But anyway, it's a throbbing pulsating kinda sound, it's a very dirty, very nasty sound. I think people are really gonna enjoy it.

DALE: What is the process of putting together a GWAR album? I imagine it being rather sticky and involving more than a few human sacrifices...
ODERUS: Well, it's very violent. You know, a lot of fighting and arguments, breaking of equipment over peoples heads, and stuff like that. But at the end of the day we've got our metal, you know we just get in there and yell and scream at each other and they record that and they make music out of it. I'm not sure what the hell it is, I just know we get there in front of the people, plug those guitars in and everything goes crazy!

DALE: Awesome, you're coming to New Zealand on a big tour package that's headlined by Megadeth, is there anything, mudslinging you can say about him, Dave Mustaine?
ODERUS: I haven't met him yet, so I'm not going to talk shit about him until i have the chance to observe his habitat. Actually, I have to admit I'm actually quite a big Megadeth fan and I'm really looking forward to seeing him play on this tour, so I'm gonna save my mudslinging for Rob Zombie and Lordi.

DALE: Excellent, generic question here, but are you looking forward to slaying a Kiwi crowd?
ODERUS: Yes, we fully expect kiwis to taste different, we've heard you're 9 feet tall, that should be interesting. You know, it's a new eco-system to destroy and hopefully the entire island.

DALE: I understand you were trapped in a frozen tomb down in Antarctica, given New Zealands close proximity to your former prison, is that a reason why you haven't been here before?
ODERUS: Well, we went straight from Antarctica to America, we were flown there by our manager Sleazy P. Martini, we've been living there pretty much ever since. We tried to get to New Zealand a few times, but we simply got lost- it wasn't until Google Earth that we managed to figure out this world geography, kinda thing. So, after 25 years of searching we've finally gonna make it.

DALE: Excellent, Now we are the land of the "Lord of the Rings" has or will your tour manager try and steer you away from partying, or slaying too many Orcs?
ODERUS: Actually, you know, we were hoping to face-rape some Hobbits. That's just kind of a tradition in the GWAR camp, is to take Hobbits and rape their faces off, fill those chubby little cheeks with our filthy man-prods, rooting about in retched abandonment and just chewing these Hobbits faces off. Few creatures deserve death more than those little fuzzy footed fucks.

DALE: So I take it, you're not a fan of Elijah Wood?
ODERUS: Oh... Oh he's such a... No i Don't Like Him At All!

DALE: (laughs) I noticed your shows integrate quite a few elements [i.e political], not just the crazy metal thing, in a country, you're heading to New Zealand were we've have 2 female leaders, Rastafarian, gay and trans-gender members of parliament [i.e different to the United States] is that something GWAR could work with?
ODERUS: Oh.. I salute the people of New Zealand for having trans-gender council members I encourage them to have more trans-animal, kinda necrophiliac, bestial activity. Making our animal friends happy, by giving them public sex in government buildings. Animals are often made to live out-doors, in little sticks, like little houses made of sticks and stuff, it's terribly unfair, and, uh, dogs do appreciate it when you suck them off. I'd like to see more of that for the people of New Zealand and hopefully after our show we will bring this to you people, the gift of necrophiliac, anal, bestial, dead dog sex.

DALE: I don't suppose you've heard the sheep shagging jokes, down here?
ODERUS: Oh, we heard all about it, and we're hoping it's true.

DALE: I noticed you seem to have quite a sense of occasion, I'm referring to your appearances on Fox news as compared to a youtube video interview I saw with you swearing your mouth off.
ODERUS:Well, they do give me tranquilisers before I appear on the air and they throw a big metal canvas kind of chain mail blanket over the Cuttlefish of Cthulu. So yes they've managed to knock me down a peg or two, but quite frankly the drugs and the sex and the power that I get from appearing on Fox news, and the parties later with Bill O'Reily, CIA opperatives Osama binladen, it more than makes up for it. They're pretty much gonna to cut out whatever I say that doesn't work for them anyway, so I just try... I play my mental.. i play my little game with them, you know. I think I get away with some pretty edgy shit, but you will notice I am the most foul mouthed person on the show and huge sections of my appearences are usually silent.

DALE: Well there's no such editing on this show, you can say whatever you want...
ODERUS: I like that, and it makes me much more comfortable.

DALE: I imagine setting up a gig must be quite the ~Ziltoidian~ effort, no?
ODERUS: Well no, we wear these clothes all the time, in fact they're not clothes so much as our birthday suits, born in them even, as it were. I've never washed or cleaned myself, so that makes everything stick to my body in great rancid heaps, so uh, it's how we roll, it smells really bad but the fans love us.

DALE: Now, you mentioned Gor-gor, he's coming to New Zealand, am I right?
ODERUS: I'm not... oh, oh, oh don't lock me down to that because I do believe he'll be showing up in Australia, I don't know if he'll make the swim out to kiwi-land or not.

DALE: Now a few years ago you worked with Devin Townsend, how do you get along with his Ziltoid?
ODERUS: We never met him exactly, he was up zipping around in his interstella space craft! whatever the fuck it was! No, we just dealt with Devin and really that was more than enough
