1:when did discordance axis start?

DISCORDANCE AXIS STARTED AROUND 1992.

2:how many people have been in d.a. and what are their names and major malfunctions?

BEFORE DISCORDANCE AXIS, THERE WAS ANOTHER BAND CALLED SEDITION WHICH WAS JON,ROB AND ANOTHER DRUMMER. THEN IN 92 I JOINED THE BAND AND IT WAS CHANGED TO DISCORDANCE AXIS. THE LINE UP WAS JON CHANG/VOCALS,ROB MARTON/GUITAR & MYSELF ON DRUMS. THAT WAS THE ONLY LINE UP WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PEOPLE FILLING IN FOR TOURS. THE FIRST JAPANESE TOUR I COULDN'T MAKE IT SO ROB PROCTOR OF ASSUCK FILLED IN ON DRUMS AND ON THE SECOND JAPANESE TOUR STEVE PROCOPIO OF HUMAN REMAINS FILLED IN ON GUITAR.

3:why did you guys break up a year ago?

EVERYONE NEEDED A BREAK FROM EACH OTHER AND IT WAS GETTING STALE YA KNOW? WE ALSO ALL WANTED TO DO OTHER THINGS

4:how many bands are you in right now/how many have you been in?

RIGHT NOW I PLAY IN MAJOR BURNS, BLACK ARMY JACKET, DA, & THE SKY IS DENIED. I'VE BEEN IN A FEW MORE TOO, SUCH AS IAHBORHER, EXIT-13, WELL AWARE, HUMAN REMAINS AND LOTS OF PROJECTS/SESSION RECORDING. TWO RECORDING PROJECTS I HAVE GOING NOW ARE WITH STEVE AUSTIN OF TODAY IS THE DAY & I'M DOING A TRIO WITH THE BASS & SAX PLAYER OF THE D.G.Q.

5:are you in league with satan? is this how you drum so inhumanly?

NO SATAN IS NEEDED, I LIKE DOING IT BY MYSELF.

6:ever smoke crack to play faster?

NEVER, YOU GOTTA BE ABLE TO DO IT BY YOURSELF, USING A SUBSTANCE TO ENHANCE YOU ABILITY IS LIKE CHEATING I THINK.

7:hows your new record comming along?

WE ARE WRITING FOR IT AS WE SPEAK AND THE NEW MATERIAL IS FASTER/MORE CONSISTANTLY FAST, MORE TECHNICAL AND I'M SURE IT WILL BE MORE AGGRESSIVE TOO WHEN JON STARTS PRATICING WITH US, ROB AND I ARE JUST SORTING THINGS OUT WITH THE MUSIC FIRST.

8:are you guys going to tour for the new record when it comes out?

I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THIS YET, BUT I CAN ALMOST BE CERTAIN THAT A BIG TOUR WILL NOT HAPPEN. I THINK SELECT SHOWS AND A JAPANESE TOUR MIGHT BE THE ANSWER.

9:when is it supposed to come out?

I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THIS YET, WE WANT TO MAKE THIS RECORD PERFECT. WE HAVEN'T EVEN BOOKED STUDIO TIME.

10:is it going to be a concept album like sgt. pepper?

I DON'T THINK SO, THE SUBJECTS WILL VARY.

11:are you guys planning on breaking up after your new record comes out?

I DON'T THINK SO, NOT SURE THOUGH. WE DON'T PLAN ON PUTTING A RECORD OUT AND THEN JUST STOPPING, UNLESS WE THINK WE CAN'T OUT DO IT AND GO OUT ON A GOOD NOTE YA KNOW?

12:how come you guys hardly play any shows?

WE LIKE THE RECORDING ASPECT BETTER, PLUS WHEN WE DID PLAY OUT NOBODY CAME TO SEE US, IT WAS LIKE A WASTE OF TIME.

13:what bands do you like/ who influences your style?

OH I LIKE LOTS OF STUFF, NOT MUCH GRIND OR METAL BECAUSE MOST OF IT IS DONE HALF ASSED. I'M A BIG RUSH AND PRIMUS FAN, ALSO OZRIC TENTACLES, ANEKDOTEN, SQUAREPUSHER, AC/DC, IRON MAIDEN, HIS HERO IS GONE TOTALLY KICKS ASS, THOSE GUYS KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. OH, BIG VOIVOD FAN, LOT'S OF JAZZ TOO EVERYTHING IS AN INFLUENCE TO ME, YOU CAN LEARN FROM THE MOST UNEXPECTED PLACES & THINGS

14:if you could do a split with anyone (not saying you can't) who would it be?

I'D LIKE TO DO A SPLIT WITH HIS HERO IS GONE

15:do you find yourself drumming on surfaces that you should not drum on such as tables and counters and desks in public places?

YEAH ALL THE TIME, I CAN'T MYSELF SOMETIMES

16:what's the scene like in new jersy?

GOOD AND BAD I GUESS LOTS OF BANDS, LOTS OF PEOPLE, LOTS OF VARIETY, BUT IT'S JUST WEIRD SOMETIMES WITH TURNOUTS AND LITTLE GROUPS/CLICKS AND STUFF THERE ARE A LOT OF REALLY BAD BANDS TOO.

17:is your boss a dickhead?

NO WAY, MY BOSS IS PROBABLY THE COOLEST BOSS I'VE EVER HAD, SHE TOTALLY KNOW'S WHAT I'M ABOUT AND WORKS WITH ME.

18:is 99 going to be the year of discordance axis?

MAYBE, WHO KNOWS? I GUESS THE RECORD WILL COME OUT SOMETIME THEN.

19:do you belive we might be in world war 3 soon and that it's going to be nuclear and the world is going to end and oh shit nostradamus was right?

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, I TRY NOT TO GET CAUGHT UP IN ALL THAT I GOTTA GET AS MUCH STUFF THAT I WANT TO GET DONE, DONE YA KNOW?

20:if so what would you spend your last 24 hours doing and if not then pretend?

JUST RELAX AND ENJOY MYSELF, THE END IS UNAVOIDABLE IN THAT SITUATION, I GUESS JUST HANG MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND HAVE A GOOD TIME

thank you dave from discordance axis
