SUPERSUCKERS<\/strong>
\n BY ROBIN FLEMING<\/strong><\/p>\n

We were talking about big balls and I thought of you .<\/strong>
\nOh, we\u2019ve got the biggest.<\/p>\n

Your sack is legendary.<\/strong>
\n(laughs) Yeah, it hangs low.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve got the new record (The Evil Powers of Rock n\u2019 Roll) out on Koch. Are you gonna do more with them in the future?<\/strong>
\nWe\u2019ll see. We\u2019re starting our own label and doing it in cahoots with them. They benefit from our \u201cindie credibility\u201d and we benefit from their deep pockets.<\/p>\n

Seems everybody\u2019s got a song about an eight-ball and a six pack nowadays.<\/strong>
\nWe\u2019ve been eating\u2019 this since 1989. We are a melding of all that is cheesy & bad about metal. The debauchery & lechery of what killed metal, leading towards a real career, about writing real good songs.<\/p>\n

I have a theory that rap took over because rock lost its balls.<\/strong>
\nI agree that the rock stars, right now, are the rappers. You gotta pop some caps in asses to be a bad ass.<\/p>\n

The intellect of this country\u2019s getting retarded, everyone\u2019s buying\u2019 Britney Spears.<\/strong>
\nYeah, and if it\u2019s not that, it\u2019s crap, like KoRn and Limp Bizkit.\u00a0 It\u2019s like an A & R guy went around to every frat house in the country handing\u2019 out record contracts.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m awaiting a backlash.<\/strong>
\nI hope people research music and see what it\u2019s all about. It\u2019s not about wearing\u2019 big baggie shorts and jumping\u2019 up n\u2019 down and causing\u2019 a riot.<\/p>\n

Where do you look forward to hitting on a U.S. tour?<\/strong>
\nWe love going\u2019 down the coast of California. That\u2019s our bread and butter. Texas kicks ass. Lately, the East Coast\u2019s been good.<\/p>\n

What do you think about what\u2019s happened to N.Y.C., with Coney Island High and Tramps being shut down?<\/strong>
\nGuliani is a jerk. It sucks. That happened here in Seattle. It\u2019s hard for an all ages venue to stay open here. The music\u2019s geared to 21+, and that\u2019s a mistake we made. Instead of all ages shows, we\u00a0 went for the easy bar money. If the Insane Clown Posse\u2019s playing an all ages show and you\u2019re playing next door, who\u2019s gonna win? The people dressed up like clowns.<\/p>\n

How\u2019d you hook up with Willie Nelson?<\/strong>
\nThat happened in \u201895 when we recorded \u201cSacrelicious\u201d. We recorded down in Austin and\u00a0 met some people who worked for his label. We got Willie down to the studio and recorded a song with us.\u00a0 We had a really big party in the studio that night, it was my birthday. I think that Willie sensed that there was something special going on. I talk to him on the phone sometimes. He\u2019ll call me just to say \u201chi\u201d.<\/p>\n

Your mind must be blown when he calls.<\/strong>
\nOh definitely. He\u2019s one of these people walking the planet representing something bigger than all of us.<\/p>\n

Who are some of your other heroes?<\/strong>
\nLemmy, from Motorhead, Phil, from Thin Lizzy, John Doe, from X. Bass player \/singers that weren\u2019t technically perfect , but they had something cool.<\/p>\n

Balls factor.<\/strong>
\nExactly, it all comes back to the balls.\u00a0 The bands that did it for me were Motorhead, AC\/DC & the Ramones.<\/p>\n

Would you ever cover \u201cRide On\u201d by AC\/DC?<\/strong>
\nI love that song.<\/p>\n

Talk to me about the devil, is the preoccupation for real or a Supersuckers cliche?<\/strong>
\nWe\u2019ve pretty much thrown caution to the wind. For me, on a theological level, it\u2019s all Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny to me. I don\u2019t follow the notion that there was Adam or Eve, or any sorta one man in charge of this whole operation. So I\u2019m gonna side with Satan since it\u2019s all a big stupid joke to me anyways.<\/p>\n

Satan has more fun.<\/strong>
\nExactly, he\u2019s got the best artwork, the best chicks.<\/p>\n

Wine, women and song.<\/strong>
\nYou ever see the devil with an ugly chick? No, ya don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
