Does
Type O Negative have anything to do with Gothic music, or is it
in a class by itself?
Do you mean, an ASS by itself? Do I think were Goth? Honestly,
the classification was bestowed upon us by the mediacs because were
all kind of tall and thin due to lack of protein and too much cocaine.
If youre the lead singer, meaning ME (holds out hands in mock
holiness)... if youre six foot, fuckin nineteen inches
tall, got fangs and long black hair, and your band is called Type
O Negative, and you have songs like Blood and Fire, yeah - I guess
its Goth n Roll.
How do you feel about
women?
On Type Os first album, Slow, Deep, and Hard, o had used
words - and please forgive me - as slut, cunt, whore... which
was not directed to the entire female populus. It was just directed
towards one person. Im pretty angry that there are some
people who say that I hate women. I find that extremely offensive.
Number one, there is no better person in this world than my mother.
I would never disresepct her. And you know what? If you want to
cal me a mammas boy, well Im YOUR mammas boy
too.
In your lyrics you
talk about being hurt by women. Is that true, or are you using
that as a way to get more women?
Well it is true, but people have called me masagonist,
woman-hater. No, I dont hate women. I think
that women are actually much better than men. I hate all people
equally. I mean, shit comes in all colors. Black, brown, yellow,
green, purple. We all fuckin; equally. I consider myself a specist.
I hate the human species because we are the only ones, in fact,
who shit where we eat... and also laughs. And do you know why?
Because we know were gonna die. Thats why I keep laughing.
Has a guy ever given
you a problem because youre really big - to start with you
to prove manliness?
Absolutely. And this is honestly a fight that I have to walk away
from because I cannot win. If I kick his fuckin head in,
then Im a bully. If he wins, Im a pussy.
When it comes to women, would
you rather date a fan or a girl who has no idea who you are?
I would rather date someone who has no idea who I am because,
at that point, we have something in common because I have no fuckin
idea who I am. If its somebody I meet at a show, its
only because of the lighting that I look really good on stage.
Im 461 years old. My face is falling off. My colostomy bag
is leaking. I fell outside. I broke my hip. I have an ingrown
toe nail. My cable company shut the service off. And nobody can
help me.
What kind of condoms
do you prefer?
Well, Im a virgin, so I have no idea what I would use. I
would think like a ziplock bag of some sort because Im getting
old and they have this, like, buffet at restaurants. Older people
call them buff-its. I love that. They always bring ziplock bags.
Why? because when they thin nobodys looking, all the shrimp
thats been laying there for three years - theyre not
even fuckin shrimp, theyre mutated pubic lice - and
theyre fuckin bringing them home. I dont want
to be part of this crowd!
What are your sexual
turn-ons?
Women who are femine. I like long hair, make-up, high heels, no
testicles because that turns me off right away... I think women
who smoke are attractive, actually. Theres something Freudian
about that, but than may be a phallusy.
