Warrant Interview on Headbangers Ball 1988

Well, the dancing continues all night long since the order, we have Eric and Janie with us right now. It's good to have you guys in the studio, it's finally good to be here because you're on what we call, road tour, hell is the road. tour heck yeah, what's the deal we made? We've done 35 shows in 4 nights and we're dead about 2,000 beers on the road 2600 beers in 6 weeks we're right you guys just burst onto the scene with this great attitude of uh you know fake money and we should talk about it , false assurances come to light with everyone, let's talk about handcuffs and panties, those are, yeah, I didn't understand that.

AE, you didn't get the Handcuffs I didn't put the handcuffs in the panties great, um, this is all a pre-thought idea, you just said, let's do it this way or a lot of it was a label's idea, a lot of it was our idea, kind of a combination of the two. It was amazing, we didn't think the label was going to weigh in on the sex issue with us, but really, you can't let clothes fool you, Sick Puppies did, but they still didn't send me the pantyhose. and I am, I am great. The Victoria Secret wives say the wives say sex police you go to, it kind of goes with the court order um on the album it says all the concepts by court order yeah, that includes the uh the cover, oh yeah, that was who designed that or a guy named Mark Ryden, he does a lot of artwork for Walt Disney's people, but he did it.

We had the idea that we wanted the best manager at Mogul, you know, a fat asshole really interested in money. on the cover so we brought the idea to him and he did a fantastic job, if you look really close there are some things hidden in the guy's ear you might find a naked woman if you look closely yeah and there's Elvis and some things like In the rich cookies, you can see you have to turn it around, really, yeah, good stuff, that's great, no, that's true. We're actually checking out the video for Down Boy right now.

Great, looks like you had a lot of fun. Making that video, we became virginized in that video that was our first, we didn't know what to do, we shut up and they said stay here and do this and do that 14 hours of fun, it was great, we can't wait to make another one, the Next, hopefully we'll have a little more control. Do you already have an idea which of the two songs will be one of the two that we don't know? Yes, neither the big talk nor the sky, so which one would we do. I prefer it to be a big talk because we wanted to keep rocking before throwing a

ball

ad at him.

People think we're weak or whatever. Do people come to you and say hey, I think you're weak? Probably not. Do that, no, no, if you saw us live, say we banged heads with any band in the country. I sprained my neck in Pennsylvania, but I was wearing a brace on the bus for three days. Actually, that's a pretty big blow. I have a chi. I've got a chipped elbow, I've got a chipped knee and I sprained my neck, we'll get some nurses, that's just to meet people after the show, the show here we go guys, yeah, more, the head bangers

ball

for you right now with Janie and Eric of order and um, this must happen to you guys a lot, you guys used to or still hang around with poison a lot, right, yeah, a little bit, they're doing their thing and we're doing it, but we went out and we saw it in in Some shows you mentioned on the album, in fact, we've known him forever, especially these guys.

I met them when I moved to California, but yeah, they came on stage with us several times, one time we played a country club show in LA and they had some of their security with them, they were right in the middle of a song and their security took us off the stage, literally picked us up, you know, off the stage and then they came in. Noide came on stage, they took us off stage. Liter took us off stage, grabbed our equipment and started playing. It was really funny, and then we went back and played with it, so we got it back.

I went out and tackled Bobby. It was fun. we have a ricky rocket singing debut on video yeah gazar i don't even know if he remembers but gazar is him and tamy from FAS bobby showed up too it was really fun but people tell you god you look so much alike to Brett. I bet no, no, yes, come on, tell me yes, no, yes, I get it a lot, he does, he looks like me, there you'll see, that's the attitude he was talking about. I like that, no, he's great, I mean, we. We're all friends, so he's cool, so he hasn't hurt his sex life.

We have similar sexual tendencies from what I heard. I'm not sure, although I've never slept with him so I really can't. It's going wrong, let me pick what about musical influences, guys, let's move this on to sex, alcohol, yeah, yeah, we're not going to run away, what do you want to know? EX seriously, let's be brutally honest please, his main musical influences. H, that's why you think about that try to be as original as possible I mean, try not to I don't know, we like all the fun bands you know, like sweet and oh Cheap Trick and Alice Cooper and that's the kind of thing with that we group together.

So there's a lot of that in music, but try not to rip anyone off or anything. There are so many bands we like, you know? How can you name a B? We tried very, very hard to make the record sound like a guarantee and, hopefully, it does. Did Bo Hill produce it? I heard Winger and uh, stay with us a little longer. We will talk more now. It's Metallica and one is Hard Rock, as you can see, we're just talking here in the musical. The bus head bangers ball continues Janie and the

warrant

. I have to congratulate you guys with the Dialam TV upload, it's working fantastic, thank you no, seriously, we're in shock, I mean we thought we'd seen the video and said okay, you know we did it.

I really don't know what to think, we weren't used to seeing each other on video, it was like you saw yourself and expected yourself to be much better, mhm, you know, so we didn't know what he was going to do. When people started, we were like, "Wow, man, people are calling for it. Can you believe mom calls or what my mom actually calls? Mom calls like she has to redial on her phone. I heard a couple of guys in the band live together in a big house. Yeah, Jerry, Joey, I share a house and pretty much everything, the Tropicana mud wrestlers and we have cats and you know all kinds of stuff, how come you don't live in the same house?

Would you live in it? We actually lived together for a year that was all it took me to know I don't ever want to live with him again now I have my own apartment he's a rich guy jeez from the Galleria um what do you want so you want to have your own headlining tour is what's the next plan: we want an open headlining tour. God, if we can, if we can make it, we'll do stadiums, but you know, we just want to get out there, we want to play as much as possible, so right now there's a million things up in the air as far as touring, rumors every day. , everyone you hang out with so and so, so no, we have no idea what's going to happen, we just want to expose ourselves to as many people as possible, you can take it any way you want, play music too, no, You know, if we keep playing, hopefully someone will pick us up sooner or later, do us the favor we need, please, we're a C charity, it will happen, don't worry.

Well, thanks for stopping by tonight and remember to send me the handcuffs. We have a gift for you. It's a small gift. It's a small one. Yeah, have you seen who told you that he told you it's to remind you what? Eric is what Eric's new guitar has a Les, you came to prepare, come on, dig up, no, that's it, obviously not, come on, you're wasting valuable air P, some vitamins, well, maybe you know those vitamins are just soluble in beer, oh, it did. Bring it live, it's not love, wear a glove that goes for you too, don't be stupid, put a snakeskin on your Willie, there you go, all good, here's Anthrax antisocial, thanks again, thanks, take care.
