Simone Parato - Gaetano Fezza

Having a word with Marc Diamond, guitar player in Mötochrist, a new smell like gasoline sensation from LA.

Hi Marc!
Let’s start... who’s Mötochrist?
Me, Danny, Chad and the Rev. Ricky Vodka

Your album "Greetings From The Bonneville Salt Flats" is out... tell me about the recordings...
We're pretty happy with it, in the words of Donny and Marie, it's a lil' bit country and a lil' bit Rock n' Roll!

What's your fave song? Mine is, without any doubt, 'Someday'... but also '6 Shooters, 6 Strings & 6 Packs' kicks some serious ass!
It changes , this week i'm digging on "out of control" , one of Ricky's songs.

Tell about 'Three Sheets To The Wind', the lyrics are so much fun!
Just a lil' ditty that i've had for a while. I've never sang before, but I had a really bad cold so my voice sounded pretty cool, usually it sucks

You have been voted "Best Hollywood Band" in Rock City News' Awards, happy about it?
Well, Rock City News is a pretty prestigous literary periodical....HA!

How is working with Heat Slick Records? Do you feel at ease with Scott & the label?
As long as we're not naked in a bathtub together I feel very comfortable... otherwise there is all of that uncomfortable sexual tension.....

Last february you were in LA Shakedown bill, what can you tell about it?
Didn't do it. Ralph Carrera is a shit promoter and a thief...he ripped off a lot of people who bought tix. Bands, unfortunately are used to getting ripped off, but when you start screwing over people who bought tix and travelled
thousands of miles for the show... that's fucked.

You and Danny already played in NY LOOSE... how do you feel looking back at that experience?
Do you know what is Brijitte actually doing?
I met Danny when I joined NY Loose so I guess that's either really bad or really good depending on how you look at it. Btijitte is living in London and doing well.

Tell me about the DWARVES-era...
Rock Legends. I'm proud to be a part of history. It's like having a license to kill...

At the Serie-Z you also played in TEXAS TERRI... tell me about her, she seems to be a very powerful girl!
Playing guitar for Terri was a blast! She Rules. She's like the female Iggy.
We wrote some songs together this summer that are on her new album as well as split singles with AntiSeen and Marky Ramone.

I saw you hanging out also with The LORDS OF ALTAMONT, do you like those guys? Did you have a good time touring in Spain?
The Lords rule. We're playing with them at the Knitting Factory in LA on December 10th

What was your highlight at the Serie-Z?
hmmm, Twisted Sister were pretty amusing...

What are the most evident differences between NY & LA music scene?
I've actually lived in LA all my life. Born and Raised. Fuck Danny and NYC-HA!!!!

Okie... tell us about your next moves... and hope to c ya live soon! you rock!!
I want to nap a lot more, see less of Danny, Chad and Ricky and finally move on to gospel superstardom. I wanna tour with Clay Aikens...

Here's some questions for Chad & Danny...
Chad and Danny are not here so I (MARC) will answer these questions.

Chad, we saw you in Milan playing in Faster Pussycat line up, how was being with Taime Downe?
Is he always that kind of idiot, or was it a special treatment for italian fans only??
(Marc) Taime is a God amongst mortal men... and Chad tells me that he's a real tiger between the sheets.

Do you feel Mötochrist is your ultimate band?
(Marc) Absolutely.

Ok, these are for Danny... (Gae) I was a big Throb's fan... any cool episode about that time?
(Marc) Danny doesn't remember much from yesterday, so... no.

Why did you disband? In my opinion, you deserved much more success...
(Marc) Danny deserves that and much more. I imagine that they disbanded because they missed me.

For a while, Throbs worked with Ginger... is he really that dickhead, as many people define him?
(Marc) I never met him so lets say...yes.

How was playing in Bango Tango during the last tour? What about the Milan gig?
(Marc) Yup, we love Ted Nugent's Wango Tango album....
