NASTY IDOLS
"The whole GIGOLOS ON PAROLE is a disaster..."
Nasty Idols have come back on the scene with the release of the "Best Of..." album through Perris Records. How did you actually hook up with Perris?
A guy on the internet hooked up with us and wanted a sample of the "Heros For Sale" album (which was never released), and he had a connection with Perris Records, so they asked if they could release the "Nasty Idols" albums plus a "Best Of", how could you disagree with that?
I personally miss some songs from your "Gigolos On Parole" album on the "Best Of..." collection. Are there any particular reasons?
The whole "Gigolos On Parole" is a disaster, we were a little bit too young and naive when we released it. The only song that survived the process was "Shy China".
Most of your past releases have come out of print. Are there any plans for some re-releases?
All of them. "Cruel Intention", "Vicious", "Heros For Sale" except "Gigolos", thanks to Perris..!
For those who arenīt huge Nasty Idols fans, please name the absolute climax in the bandīs carreer.
The first time we were on MTV and when we were headlining festivals.
What have you guys been doing all over the years and through the nineties? Have you been involved in any side- or solo projects?
Andy had a band called "Machine Gun Kelly" and heīs also done a solo album. Me myself was involved in a band called "Syron Vanes" and we released two albums on Ebony Records, but this was long before Nasty Idols.
How does the future of Nasty Idols look like? Will there be a new album or a tour?
We just see whatīs happening, a lot of people will see us on stage again, so perhaps we will launch a tour next year... Youīll never know.
At Medazza Rock we usually do a little "game" at the end of an interview. We give you a few prompts and you are free to spill your guts. Ready? So here we go...
Shy China:
The best song on "Gigolos" and it was our first time we played on national TV.
Nikki Sixx:
What can I say? The man has surely made an impact on the whole sleaze-glam community and I have nothing but praise for the guy.
Ole Evinrude:
I donīt know. Didnīt he have something to do with outboard motors?
Metal Sludge:
I think theyīre kinda funny, they havenīt been picking on us yet though!
The future of Rock & Roll:
People want to have rawer music, but the radio and tv didnīt play it for a couple of years, but now it has risen from the tomb and will live long and prospere again.
Best Rock Band (except yourself):
Sex Pistols, The Sweet, KDFDM, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Rammstein
Your famous last words:
Buy our albums and have a blast, Switzerland kicks ass!!!
Hey, Dick, I thank you very much in the name of the entire Medazzarock team, itīs cool you took the time.
Have a great one!!!
