BOBBY STEELE INTERVIEW CONTINUED...
Q9. Bobby, it has been well documented that The Undead continued to sell records really well..however..you seemed to attract no major labels at any time. Was it a conscience decision to stay clear of major record labels knowing that you had been screwed out of thousands of dollars through distrobution companies throughout the years?

BS: When I named the band THE UNDEAD, I was warned that it'd be a curse, and that no label would ever sign with us with that name. I didn't care then, I don't care now. If Warner Bros came to me right now and offered to let me have 100% control over my music, packaging, and marketing - I'd take it. The bottom line is that record labels are fascist organisations that want a way to control you, as well as your fan base. I'm uncontrollable - and they're all chicken shit. They wouldn't know talent if it kicked them in the balls - which they lack, too.

Q10. Bobby...what do you think of the bands on the scene right now? Any you have taken a liking to in paticular? Seen any bands live?

BS: As I mentioned earlier - I've been laid up, and out of touch with what's out there. I can say that I haven't heard anything that impresses me - it's all corporate...punk bands from NYC that no NYC punk band had heard of before their major label debut; punk bands who's daddy owns a modeling agency, or writes hit shows...it's all bullshit. If you look at anyone who's getting signed these days - you'll find a relative behind the scenes. Fucking Britney Spears is far more honest than the commercial 'punk' bands.

- Thank you Bobby for taking the time to answer my questions with such promptness...best of luck in the future with The Undead!

BS: Thanks. It was fun...
