What happened to Bone Machine?
MY PARTNER J3 STARTED TO BELIEVE MY OWN HYPE AND GOT TOO BIG FOR ME AND WENT SOLO(!) HAVEN'T HEARD MUCH FROM HIM SINCE.

Do you talk to the members of Bone Machine?
NOPE,THEY TURNED OUT TO BE NOT THE FRIENDS THAT I THOUGHT. AS SOON AS WE STARTED TO GET SOMEWHERE, THEY ALL WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE.I THINK THEY ALL HAVE COVER DIFFERENT BANDS IN NJ.PETE WAS A CAB DISPATCHER LAST I HEARD. 

What were you doing in the time between Bone Machine and Melodica?
It seems you took a little break and then came out with "LONG WAY HOME", "ACOUSTICA", "USACOUSTICA",and "LOVE METAL" in a short time span.
I RETIRED FOR A WHILE AS I WAS SICK OF THE BUSINESS,I  LEARNED HOW TO MAKE A REAL LIVING.

What is the difference between Bone Machine and Melodica?
BONEMACHINE WAS A LITTLE HEAVIER WITH NO KEYBOARDS,MELODICA IS VERY MELODIC WITH TOTALLY DIFFERENT MUSICIANS,KEYBOARDS AND BIGGER BUDGET RECORDINGS(BUT NOT VERY BIG UNFORTUNATELY).

The new cd is getting great reviews. How is different from the first Melodica cd?
THE FIRST ONE GOT CRAPPY REVIEWS IN EUROPE, GREAT REVIEWS IN THE U.S., LOVEMETAL IS GETTING GREAT REIVEWS ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Why record an acoustic cd? Why was it released twice? ("ACOUSTICA","USACOUSTICA")
IT WASNT RELEASED TWICE,USACOUSTICA IS ALMOST COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.WE RELEASED IT BECAUSE ACOUSTICA WAS RELEASED ONLY IN LIMITED EDITION IN THE U.K. AND ALMOST SOLD OUT SO WE WANTED THE REST OF THE WORLD TO BE ABLE TO GET IT TOO.WE DID AN ACOUSTIC CD TO SHOW THE WORLD THAT I COULD SING AFTER THE REVIEWS FROM LWFH SAID I WAS LOSING IT.

Will Melodica tour?
WE JUST TOURED ENGLAND (IT WAS GREAT!)AND WE WILL PLAY SOME DATES IN THE U.S.
WE ALSO MAY HAVE SOME DEF LEPPARD DATES ON THEIR NEXT TOUR,OTHER THAN THAT, I
DONT SEE ANY MORE LARGE TOURS WITHOUT LABEL SUPPORT,MAYBE EUROPE IF NOW AND
THEN PUTS US ON TOUR.

What about an acoustic tour?
NO, I ONLY PLAY ACOUSTIC ON RADIO SHOWS AND INSTORE APPEARANCES.I LIKE TO
ROCK LIVE WITH A FULL BAND,ITS MUCH MORE FUN, I AM NOT A FOLK SINGER.,PLAYING
ACOUSTIC IS WIMPY,ALTHOUGHT I AM GLAD I DID THE USACOUSTICA CD ,IT IS A VERY
GOOD SOUNDING CD.

Why didn't Bone Machine tour the US?
SAME OLD REASON,NO TOUR SUPPORT,WE NEVER HAD A RECORD DEAL.

How did the EBAY auction go? Did someone purchase the live show?
IT WAS A GREAT PROMO IDEA, I NEVER THOUGHT ANYONE WOULD BID BUT THEY DID.
IMPULSE RECORDS BASED IN CHICAGO WAS THE HIGH BIDDER.

Why are you always recording with different groups instead of putting out a solo cd?
ALL MY BANDS BEAR MY INFLUENCE SO THEY ARE ALL LIKE SOLO RECORDS ANYWAY.NOW AND THEN HAS BEEN TELLING ME THAT THEY WANT TO DO A SOLO CD WITH ME FOR 4 YEARS NOW, BUT WE HAVENT GOTTEN IT DONE AND I WILL WAIT TO SEE HOW LOVEMETAL DOES BEFORE I DO ANYTHING ELSE.

Will there be a solo cd?
I HAVE A TON OF GREAT SONGS BUT IF THE SCENE DOESNT SUPPORT IT, THEN ITS NOT WORTH DOING.IT ALL COMES DOWN TO SALES AND LOVEMETAL ISNT RELEASED YET IN EUROPE SO I HAVENT DECIDED YET IF I AM GOING TO CONTINUE IN THE BUSINESS.

What do you think of the release of COCKROACH?
I THINK ITS NICE FOR THE FANS BUT THOSE GUYS SHOULD NOT HAVE RELEASED MY VERSION WITHOUT PAYING ME ANYTHING(THEY RIP OFF THE FANS FOR $30 AND KEEP IT ALL THEMSELVES) THEY TELL ME TO LEAVE IT IN THE PAST, BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE LEFT IT IN THE PAST AND NOT RELASED MY VERSION AT ALL..,SINCE THEY DECIDED TO RELEASE IT IN THE PRESENT, THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE PAID ME FOR ALL MY WORK ON THAT CD NOW, I AM NOT DEAD, AND I DONT KNOW HOW THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH IT BUT THERE MAY BE ANOTHER LAWSUIT.I AM LOOKING INTO IT NOW.THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST WENT WITH THEIR NEW SINGER,GEE, I WONDER WHY THEY HAVE TO RELEASE MY VERSION??? LET S SEE IF THE FANS CAN FIGURE OUT THAT ONE? 

Did you have anything to with it getting released?
NO , THEY DIDNT TELL ME AND DIDNT EVEN SEND ME A COPY. I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE ENCOUNTERED SUCH SELFISH GREEDY PEOPLE AND IT WAS UNFORTUNATE THAT I TRUSTED THEM AND HELPED GET THEM WHERE THEY WERE.I STILL DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY SLEEP AT
NIGHT(PROBABLY ON A BIG PILE OF MY MONEY ).

Do you talk to any of the members of Danger Danger?
I HAVE SPOKEN TO BRUNO, WHO ASKED ME TO REJOIN THE BAND AND RECORD THE LAST
RECORD WHEN THEY WANTED TO BOOT PAUL OUT LIKE THEY DID TO ME FIRST. I THOUGHT
I SHOULD BE PAID UP FRONT THIS TIME AND THEY DISSAGREED,THEY WANTED TO JUST
SPLIT THE MONEY LATER, BUT WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT I JUST DIDNT TRUST THEM TO
DO THAT? HAHAHAHA SPLIT IT LATER, LIKE COCKROACH????NOT!

Are you planning on playing and Danger Danger songs live?
YES, I MADE THE SONGS BIG IN THE FIRST PLACE, IT WAS OUR LIVE SHOWS AND MTV THAT MADE US
BIG, AND THAT WAS ME PULLING IT OFF IN FRONT OF ALICE COOPERS AND KISS CROWDS AND THE MTV AUDIENCE,NOONE REALLY CARED HOW GOOD BRUNO PLAYED BASS LIVE,THEY LIKED ME AND ANDY'S GUITAR PLAYING AND THE SONGS.THE DRUMS WERE ALL DRUM MACHINE ON THE CD'S(BUT STEVE STILL MANAGED TO GET PAID FOR RECORDING,VERY FUNNY I THINK) SO LIVE,STEVE WAS JUST COPYING A DRUM MACHINE,I NEVER HEARD ONE INTERESTING DRUM FILL LIVE EVER.HE PLAYED WITH HEADPHONES TO A CLICK TRACK LIVE.NOW I PLAY WITH REAL DRUMMERS LIKE
JONATHAN MOVER AND MARTY BRASSINGTON AND IT IS A MUSICAL DELIGHT!

What cds are playing today?
I LIKE KINGS X,BRAVE NEW WORLD,DEF LEPPARD,NOT TOO MUCH NEW STUFF, I THINK MOST NEW MUSIC SUCKS LIKE SHITNEY SPEARS AND THE ASS STREET BOYS.

Which was your favorite Danger Danger cd?
COCKROACH WAS THE BEST ONE I THINK. BUT THE FIRST ONE WILL ALWAYS BE THE MOST
SPECIAL.

What do you think of the music scene today? Melodic rock seems to be coming back a little.
NO ITS NOT, TRUST ME.IT WILL NEVER BE BIG, ITS TOO GOOD FOR TODAYS LIMP BISCUIT RUINED EARS. KIDS WANT TO HEAR RAP AND CRAP.
