The Award For Shittiest Interview Goes To...
Posted: 11 May 2011, 10:41
I used to write for a horrible local zine some decade or so ago. When I did, I interviewed bands in the most jackass ways I could think of. One of those interviews was Steve Tucker and I got good and drunk before sending him the questions. It bordered on trolling and was silly as hell, but he was a great sport.
I hear that the new album is more on the pagan side... care to elaborate?
Tucker: I am a pagan , and I wrote the lyrics from my standpoint and my views
of things, there are definite relations to the powers of nature and
the rightousness of it's purity.
I heard once that Dave Vincent was booted for not writing about the ancients
enough... was the person who told me this right or just a fucking moron?
Tucker: david was definately moving away from what the band is about,
spirituality, he said and did some things that were only from his opinion,
not that of the band and it's direction.
Your vocals fit the sound very nicely...as well as Dave's did, if not better!
Tucker: Thanks man!!! I am very proud of my vocals on gateways ,I
think that this record truly represents me.
What do you think of punk?
Tucker: I really don't listen to much punk to be honest, never did.
I am a metalhead!!
How the fuck does pete play like that?! its always so fucking tight!
Tucker: Practice !!!!!!!!!!!! Pete is very commited!!And talented!!
How does Pete feel about Rolling Stone accusing Morbid Angel of using
a drum machine?
Tucker: I think that was taken out of context, everyone knows Pete
uses triggers so that he has an amazing sound everynight, the misconception
is that triggers somehow cheat and cause you to play faster or something of
this nature. The fact is that triggers are just basically microphones
attached to the drum, when you hit the drum it sends a signal , so
triggers do not cheat!!!!!!
Maybe im the wrong person for this interview because i have to admit,
im very biased. Morbid Angel is probably my all time favorite... but
fukkit, how could i pass this up?! Anyway... do you hate alot
of people?
tucker: hahha man that makes you the perfect person for this
interview!!!!! I hate people that do things to me to cause hate
them!!!!! I hate no one just for the hell of it, it is a waste
of my energy!!
Who do you hate?
Tucker: hahha nah man that shit is my buisness!!!
In the tradition of SpankyZine, do you spanky alot of people?
Tucker: occasionally !! Got to be careful though man ,i could
hurt my hand!!
Just how did Trey fit all of that sludge into his pick when writing
Where The Slime Live?
Tucker: he used a 10 gallon pick !!!!!! they sell them in Texas
i think!!
List off your influenzas.
Tucker: Slayer , Iron maiden , Slayer some more
What's your favorite album of all time?
Tucker: Man I have way too many favorite albums!!!!!!
Why do you like Spanky Payne's mom so much?
tucker: she has excellant tits man!!!! i am sorry to do it but
I cannot help myself!!
Hey thanx for this opportunity! Any last words, hatreds, or rants?
Tucker: thanks man ,we will see you on tour
