WEDNESDAY 13 - New Interview Online
Chad Bowar at HeavyMetal.About.com recently hooked up with former
MURDERDOLLS frontman Wednesday 13 to discuss his latest solo album, Fang Bang. The following is a brief excerpt from the conversation:
Chad Bowar: For your new CD Fang Bang I understand you had a bunch of songs written and then just scrapped them and started over.
Wednesday 13: "I write a lot of music. I'm not the type of guy that spends a week on one song. I write a couple songs a day and take the simple route. It's quick and easy and usually turns out to be the best stuff. The first month I wrote 30 songs and they weren't bad, they were just going in a direction I didn't want to go. So I scrapped it all and started over.
Chad Bowar: Will any of those original songs you wrote ever see the light of day?
Wednesday 13: "It's possible. There are a handful that I think are really cool songs, but when I was putting everything together with the new stuff it just didn't fit in. There was a lot more heavier stuff and I just wanted to make a cool fun rock record this time around and not take the heavy route."
Chad Bowar: You've put together a whole new touring band for this album. Who is backing you now?
Wednesday 13: "Eric Griffin was the bassist in the Murderdolls, but he's playing guitar now. He's a really good guitar player and it's kind of stupid he wasn't a guitar player in the Murderdolls because he's so good. Our bass player is Nate Manor, who played in
AMEN for a while. Our drummer Racci Shay plays with the
GENITORTURERS and played with DOPE for a few years. We're a four piece and so far doing a great job."
