Band : Down
Song : Lifer
Album : Nola
|
This is Down right ? Hooo Yeahhhh !!! (Laugh)
Best band in the world, probably, right now… for me. Yeah, right
now, I think so. It’s got like the old style line-up, like dudes
from my other favourite bands : Corrosion of Conformity, Eyehategod, Crowbar,
Phil from Pantera. It’s gotta be good right? And I just missed their
show, they played like a couple of shows around the area and people told
me that the shows were sold out and then all of a sudden I’ve found
out that the shows weren’t sold out, but I’ve found that out
after the shows were placed, so I was really pissed off I couldn’t
see Down! Really pissed off! Thank you for letting me hear that now. I’m
really pissed of again (Laugh).
It’s an awesome band! Down’s been my favourite band ever since
the first CD came out, “Nola”. That one was awesome! The second
one isn’t as good as the first one, but it’s still awesome.
It’s got everything you know, it’s got good metal, it’s
got a good groove, it’s got a good sludgy feeling to it, a good stoner
feeling to it as well. It's great!

Band
: Faith No More
Song : Digging The Grave
Album : King For A Day... Fool For A Lifetime |
It's Faith No More... Faith No More is my old time favourite band. Like,
Faith No More and Black Sabath – both of them were my favourites.
Black Sabath was one of those bands my dad grew up on, and every sunday
we had these listening sessions to music, and Black Sabath was one of
those bands, and so Black Sabath got me into harder music. And then all
of a sudden I heard this song “Epic” from Faith No More and
that was my first introduction to them and I bought the CD, like “The
Real Thing”. And after that “Angel Dust” came out and I
was the biggest fan ever. I have all their CD singles they put out, I
have all of them, like all different versions and on vynil as well (Laugh).
And still I think Mike Patton is an amazing vocalist, but the stuff he’s
doing right now with Fantomas and The Melvin’s is not my thing, it’s
too much for me. He should have stopped with Faith No More than just work
that stuff out.
Have you heard Peeping Tom, his new project ?
No,
no… is it good?
I
don’t know… (Laugh)
(Laugh)
Oh, you don’t know?
I’m
not very interested in what he’s doing right now also.
Yeah,
same here. So like, you know, Mister Bungle as well. Never got into
Mister Bungle, it’s too much. Like that kind of… “oh,
wait a minute!”, you gotta think with this music and if I listen
to music, I don’t wanna think, I just wanna have like easy listening.
It has to be easy for me, easy on the hear.

Band
: Icepick
Song : Devotion Measures Strength
Album : Violent Epiphany |
Well, this is Icepick... I knew this was Jamey, but I didn’t know
with which band, so I was like: “Maybe it’s a new song Hatebreed
did…”. I had to wait to for like Lord Ezec to join in and then...
Actually the only song I know is the one with Ice-T, Roger Miret and Freddy,
It's fucking awesome! I was like " YEAH ! ICE-T !!!". (Laugh)
Ice-T is rocking this shit, it was great! But I don't know too much about
icepick, I mean, this is the second song I heard from them.

Band
: Danny Diablo
Song : Get Down
Album : Hardcore 4 Life |
That's easy, Danny Diablo! This is Lord Ezec’s hip hop project right
?
Yeah under his name Danny Diablo. Do you know this
song ?
I
don't know anything about it. I’ve never listen to it before.
Because
I remember you told us you like some easy-listening hip-hop stuff like
The Game...
Oh
Yeah! I like The Game!
(Continues listening) Yeah, that sounds pretty good, but it's
not like (snap with his fingers) you know what I mean ? Maybe
I got to listen to it more, It doesn't have the (snap with his fingers).
If you listen to The Game for insteance, that dudes can spit their rhymes
really well, like you listen to a pissed-off dude. I've got to listen
to it more than what I’m doing now, I'm gonna check it out...

Groupe
: Merauder
Chanson : Downfall Of Christ
Album : Masterkiller |
(Laughs) That's easy, that's Merauder, it's a good track!
I love the first Merauder, “Master Killer”. It's probably...
not the blueprints, but it's like one of the main influence for Born From
Pain, like Merauder, Bolt Thrower as well, Stigmata. Premier metalcore
bands from the mid-90's are like really important to us. Especially now
when you compare us to metalcore bands like Caliban or Maroon for insteance,
which are good bands but in my eyes they are metal. A band like Merauder
still sounds hardcore as fuck ! If you listen to the songs you can bounce
to it, but with this new metalcore thing is like mainly a headbang thing
and then it stops, then you go to a moshpart... it is everytime the same
thing, you know. That's why I like Merauder, cos’ everything sounds
pretty logical with what they do, and this new metalcore thing doesn't
sound logical to me.
You
have certainly played with Merauder before ?
Yeah
!
And
maybe you have something to say about Sob, like some funny stuff which
happened on tour or something...
I
remember a show where I sold merchandise for them at the Dynamo Festival
and Sob threw a shirt of his into the crowd. People start fighting over
the shirt, then Sob came into the crowd and told them “It's not
like a rock star kind of thing, don't have to beat each other up for
a T-shirt”. He grabed the shirt away and no one got the shirt away
at the end, that was kind of funny! I think he was a good dude, I don't
know him too well but it pretty much sucks that an influencial guy from
an influential band like Merauder dies like that. The same for Dimebag
Darrel, got shot on stage, it's unbelievable, one of those thing where
you think you are secure in music but in the end you're not... drunks,
drugs do a lot of shit to people and people do a lot of shit to people
as well... which is not good...

Band
: Pantera
Song : Electric Funeral (Black Sabbath Cover)
Album : Nativity In Black Vol.2 |
Hooo
! Black Sabbath ! Ho ! Look ! Goosebumps ! Everytime I listen to this
shit I get goosebump all over. Especially like I know Ronny James Dio
is a much better singer than Ozzy Osbourne but the first eight albums
with Ozzy are just perfect : the atmosphere, the voice, everything fits,
I listen to this song like a thousand times, a million times already
and it still get me going. Immediatly hear it’s like "Yeah!
It's Black Sabbath!".
Is
there a record you prefer than the others ?
“Sabbath
Bloody Sabbath”, but right now I’m listening a lot to “Sabotage”,
the sixth album that came out after “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath”,
which is a bit more experimental, but it's like awesome with different
instuments, yeah it's really good! So right now I prefer that album.
Well
about the song, this version is not performed by Black Sabbath. It’s
a cover-song, did you recognize the band who covered it ?
Who’s
doin’ it ?
It’s
Pantera...
Oh
really ? Shit!
It’s
not Phil’s usual voice. I’ve never heard this version before.
I heard the one they did for “Hole In The Sky”, I also heard
the one for “Planet Caravan”...
This
one’s a tribute to Black Sabbath called “Nativity In Black”,
there’s also Machine Head, Soufly...
Yeah that’s the second one, I only have the first one ! The music
sounds like obviously you can't get along with it so I have to listen
to the vocals... it's not the original... well, Cool.

Band : Raised Fist
Song : Perfectly Broken
Album : Sound Of The Republic
|
Give me some time... I know ... I know this one... I definitely know
this...
It's
a swedish band...
59
Times The Pain ? Raised Fist ?
Yeah!
I
have their first EP, then I lost interest. I always prefered other bands
from Scandinavia, but this song sounds familiar but it sounds like something
else than Raised Fist, like...
It’s
a new style for Raised Fist on this new record. Sometimes it make me
think about In Flames, with some atmospheres...
I'm
not familiar with In Flames neither so... Like I said I only know the
shit I listen to and that's it. I like bands from Sweden, I really like
Breach. Not the latest things but the first thing called “Outlines”,
the mini-CD, and then the other one is called “Friction”,
the one which came after that and those two albums are great! I always
prefered them above Raised Fist. And even 59 Times The Pain! Never really
got into Raised Fist.

Band
: Slayer
Song : Cult
Album : Christ Illusion |
It has to be something obvious, that’s really good though, shit !
Slayer ! I had to wait for the vocals, because I thought it was Slayer,
because it had the same feeling, but I had to wait for the vocals, yeah
it sounds dope, it sounds great, really good!
First time I hear it, it sounds hard! Jesus ! Old douchebags from fucking
Slayer and they are late 40 and they are still rock the house! Sounds
really good, sound really promising again! (Laugh) What I really
like with Slayer it’s that they never do the same album twice. Like
I Said you can hear with the guitars that it's Slayer but you have to
wait for the vocals to come in to know that “It Is Slayer!”.
It sounds different than what they did before...
 |
Band
: Terror
Song : Always The Hard Way
Album : Always The Hard Way |
It's Terror! I actually heard the full album, we played with them in Brazil,
and Scott let me listen to the new record,. It sounds great, sounds hard,
really better than “One With The Underdogs”.
The
sound was not very good on the previous one I think...
Yeah
exactly, and this one will be a lot better, hopefully... It’s gonna
be a good year for Terror!

Groupe
: Tori Amos
Chanson : Blood Roses (Unplugged)
Album : MTV Unplugged
|
Ho
shit ! Tori Amos ? Jesus ! You gotta love Tori Amos ! Hooo Jesus ! Great,
you guys have pick the right song for me!
That's
a song you like ?
Yeah!
Jesus! That's voice of her, it goes to the all body, you feel her pain,
you feel her happiness all the time, Super ! My girlfriend listen a
lot to Tori Amos, that's the perfect music to... well...
...
spend a good time! (Laughs)
(Laughs)
Jesus ! Most romantic music ever! That and Type O negative, and the
new James Blunt record. I really like James Blunt right now, it's really
good actually. At first I was " Haa, he uses his high voice too
much!" but it's good, he uses it the right way... You know what
I like as well ? Michael Bublé! ( Ché starts singing
: " I'm feeling good, dum dum, dum dum..."), got a good
soul and deep voice.
 |
Groupe
: Madonna
Chanson : Hung Up
Album : Confessions On A Dance Floor |
Madonna! I love Madonna! It’s one of the people you can compare a
bit to Slayer, because she always reinventes herself. Each album sounds
different you know, and for me I start liking Madonna with “Ray Of
Light” because that sounded so different, so melo and adult that
all the stuff she did before. I don't think that the last record is as
good as “Music” or as “American Life”, or as “Ray
Of Light”. It's still good but it's too Disco for me, I don't have
much with ABBA or like that kind of stuff.
How do you guys know that stuff, That I listen to that shit ? That's crazy
! (Laugh)

Band
: Anthrax feat Public Enemy
Song : Bring The Noise
Album : Bring The Noise EP |
That's
Anthrax with Public Ennemy, right ?
(Ché starts singing) "How low can you go ? Death
row what a brother knows ! Once again, back is incredible The rhyme
animal, The incredible D, Public Enemy, number one!".
You gotta love Anthrax, man, they did the double shit ever ! Although
I think John Bush, the singer that laid later on, is a much better singer
than Joey Belladonna but the old songs... I mean, I just baught the
DVD and the CD accompagnying with it, and it's just amazing! See how
old those dudes are, they still have the energy, it's crazy! It 's the
favorite band of our drummer, favorite band ever! Everytime we put “Among
The Living” on, he goes ! (Singing again!) (Laughs)... Yeah,
it's one of those band that can get you go on at any time...
I
recognize almost everyone of them, right ? Ho Jesus! That Tori Amos
song give me the goosebumps! Yes it's an awesome song man, just get
me everywhere you know, great!
