| I Talked with a Zombie: A Night at The Whisky with WEDNESDAY 13 Interview by Amie Dodd (With a little help from my friend Stephanie Boyd) SugarBuzz Magazine Page 2 |

| Amie: “I noticed you have 2 songs on the album dealing with God and religion. Can you tell me a bit more about why you chose this topic to write about?” Wednesday 13: “If you’ve seen where I live, (Wednesday hails from North Carolina) and where I grew up, you can’t leave the house without seeing an ‘I Love Jesus’ sticker on a car or somebody on the street corner holding up a crucifix and a karaoke machine preaching about Jesus, so it’s something I’ve just always sort of kinda dealt with growing up. I hadn’t really done that a whole lot in different songs, so...” Amie: “Yeah, that’s why it caught my attention.” Wednesday 13: “I didn’t really want this record to be...well, I didn’t really want to paint myself into a corner like “All that guy sings about is zombies and shit” so now I can sing about Jesus, too.” Amie: “I’m an avid Metal Sludger, and I know you are, too. I saw your recent interview on the site, and what you had to say about there being a rift in the Murderdolls. Please tell me this isn’t the end! Can we expect to ever see new material from the Dolls?” Wednesday 13: “Oh, I don’t know - I basically explained in that interview sort of what everything is right now, which is really nothing at all. It’s been dead now for a while, whether it comes back together, you know...” “I talk to Joey occasionally and Acey, but the other guys I haven’t talked to in over a year now, so, that’s it. Only time will tell.” *I suppress the urge to start crying right about now at this unhappy news, but being the consummate professional that I am, I quickly think of a highly intelligent question to follow up with.

Amie: “My favorite line from the album is: “Hurray for homicide – my left wing’s baked and my right wing’s fried” from the track “Elect Death for President.” What is your fascination with Kentucky Fried Chicken? I’m guessing it’s your favorite food? Wednesday 13: “It used to be. I actually haven’t eaten KFC in a really, really, really long time. I used to eat it like every other day. Over in Europe that’s all there usually is – KFC or McDonald’s. I used to talk about it, and use chicken buckets on stage.” Amie: “I remember the back of one of your Murderdolls stage shirts had a Colonel Sanders with devil horns.” |

| Wednesday 13: “For me, it’s kinda like, people always go, “Well, Satan and rock ‘n roll kinda go hand in hand.” So, for me it’s like Satan, chicken and rock ‘n roll!!!” *laughter from all in the room at this point* “Because, going back to Alice Cooper throwing chicken out on stage, it’s all tied together, you know – “You’re chicken killers!” Amie: “I always think about you: “Dude, you’re REALLY into the chicken!” Wednesday 13: “I love chicken, really. I’ve just kinda stopped eating KFC so much - everyday.” *At this point, I get to make my dear Wednesday 13-nut-swinger-friend’s dream come true. A nervous Stephanie takes over for a few fun questions with her idol.* Stephanie: “Being a ghoul all year round, what do you dress up as at Halloween? A business man in a sharp suit? Now that would be scary!” Wednesday 13: “We just had a Halloween party at the house right before we left, ‘cause we won’t be there for Halloween this year, so we went (referring to himself and Pig) as Paul Stanley and Danzig. He was Danzig and I was Paul Stanley. We like to constantly quote and talk about them Stephanie: “I know you’re a huge hair metal fan. What are you currently listening to?” Wednesday 13: “Pretty much the same old shit. I really haven’t had anything new that I’m really listening to at all. Usually what’s on my ipod shuffle. It’s usually all old stuff. I have everything from the Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Damned, things like that, then all of a sudden in my shuffle will come Enuff Z'Nuff. I really haven’t found anything new in a while that I’ve really liked at all.” Stephanie: “So, you’re still in an Alice Cooper phase? You like “Zipper Catches Skin” and “Flush the Fashion?” Wednesday 13: “I like everything he’s done. I like different eras, and I like the original band a lot. It’s sort of my favorite stuff. His new record is amazing. I like “Trash.” The guy can’t really do any wrong in my book.” Stephanie: “Mine, either.” Stephanie: “When are you going to appear in a horror movie?” Wednesday 13: “I don’t know. I guess when somebody is stupid enough to offer it to me, I’ll do it.” Amie: “There are a lot of stupid fuckers out here – come hang out in LA and you’ll have an offer in a week!” Wednesday 13: “It will happen. I don’t know – I get asked that a lot. “Are you going to write your own movie?” I don’t have any plans, but who knows? I would like to – I think it would be cool. I’ve always wanted to do something like that.” Stephanie: “If you could front any band for a day, who would it be and why?” Wednesday 13: “ANY band? That’s easy! KISS!!! I’d be Paul Stanley!” Stephanie: “What inscription on your tombstone would you like to leave for people to read 500 years down the line?” Wednesday 13: “Hmmmm... Probably either “Stink. Stank. Stunk.” Or, maybe “Drink. Drank. Drunk.” *lots of laughs* “How about front AND back?” Amie: “Right on!” Stephanie: “Yeah! Put one on the front, and one on the back. That would be awesome!” All: “Yeah!” |
