| Don Blum (drums) of the Von Bondies. Detroit IS officially rock city, but The Von Bondies' rock n roll comes from Japan. so, rock or not? 1. Do you have a mission statement? No. We lead by doing. No talking about it. By the time you pin down a mission statement, the mission has inevitably changed. 2. Smoking is a) cool b) not cool or c) it’ll give you cancer Smoking is cool. Self-destruction is cool. Rebellion is cool. Right? None of us smoke, though... Except maybe when we're drunk. 3. Whats the most rocknroll motherfucker thing you’ve done? I fucking took care me the shit out of some puppies. They didn't fucking bite no one or no shit like that. (-eh?) 4. What’s in your garage? Two broken guitar amps, one broken motorcycle, a lawnmower, and a "ho". 5. If you could be the support for any band ever, who would it be? I think it would be fun to travel back in time and open for ourselves when we were in our prime. 6. The Strokes – load of shit or bigger than Jesus? Bigger than shit. 7. Who is the epitome of rock n roll excess? We saw Gene Simmons from KISS at a party when we were in NYC a little while ago. He reached down the back of a girl's miniskirt and felt her up, turned around a stuck his tongue in another girl's mouth, grabbed some guy who was sitting at a table and pushed the guy's face into yet another girl's cleavage, then sat down and got two more girls to make out with each other for him. And this was before he even had his first martini... 8. Who’s the most famous person you’ve ever thrown up on/ punched drunkedly? Carrie basically threw up on this actor named Vincent Gallo in NYC last year. I think it splashed onto his pant cuffs. I once threw up on a picture of Matt Damon. I wasn't aiming at it, though. It just happened. 9. What’s on your collective record player right now? Look, we all listen to different shit. We would never have a collective record player. It just wouldn't work. What do you think this is, a love-in? 10. Any words of rock n roll wisdom for the readers? When in doubt, don't laugh. |
