In Japan, they have TV sets in cars right now, where you can punch up traffic routes, weather, everything! You can get Internet access already in cars in Japan, so within the next 2 to 3 years it's gonna be so crazy!

Whether I'm doing music or I'm walking down the street or I'm in a record store buying a record or I walk into a comic store and I'm buying comics or having a drink with my friends, it's the same me.

I wish the Libertarian Party would get more play in the media but they don't.

But the Danzig unreleased stuff will be either a single or a double CD.

To some people heavy metal is Motorhead and to others it's Judas Priest.

I don't think there's a back lot here in Hollywood anymore that has those streets, like a French Quarter.

I think the Democratic Party has picked a lot of the wrong candidates, the kind that Middle America, or people who are more down the middle and more rational, can't side with. I think that's been the problem.

We probably put about four or five comic books out a year and probably about two or three art books and various trade paperbacks - maybe four or five of those a year - and that's what we do now.

It's not like that anymore really, but back in the day, nobody would let the Misfits open up for them, not the Ramones, not the Cramps, nobody.

We've had a lot of agencies try and sabotage our tour.

Wars have always started over religion.

But when you get to a song, not only do you have to do a vocal melody, you have to write words and not be redundant and make some semblance of a story.

In Japan, they have TV sets in cars right now, where you can punch up traffic routes, weather, everything! You can get Internet access already in cars in Japan, so within the next 2 to 3 years it's gonna be so crazy!

We're doing Circle of Snakes, we open up with Skin Carver and we are throwing in Skull Forest later on.

It's okay for Christians throughout centuries to exterminate races and for their priests to rape little kids throughout decades, but trying to give the people the power to think and be individual, that's evil?

So writing a song is much harder than doing a classical piece for me, because in a classical piece, I can just let the mood dictate what's going to happen.

I'm just saying that at least for the foreseeable future there won't be any more touring.

People don't realize that they're being played by the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, but more so by the Democratic Party because the Democratic Party does not want another party in there.

I think the key to being a journalist is getting your subject to feel comfortable enough to talk about stuff they want to talk about and the stuff they like and don't like, and still feel comfortable about it.

But unfortunately, I have to say, one out of every 100 interviews I do, I get a real journalist.

Yeah, now we publish whenever we feel like it.

Until the contract is signed, nothing is real.

We still have pretty good sales, especially for the art books.

The Democratic party has gone so far to the left that people just can't relate to it anymore and the Republican party is trying to go totally to the right.

You know I take music seriously, right? So I expect journalists to take being a journalist seriously.

I was bringing my attitude as a regular person 'cause this is my attitude.

I just told you I wasn't a Satanist.

I know they are going to be doing a box set in Europe of Danzig 5 and 6 and some other stuff.

Of course, I started really being a comics fan with the underground stuff in the '70s.

Al Gore wanted to tell people what they could listen to and what they couldn't, what they could record. It was basically coming down to the idea that he wouldn't let anybody record any music that he didn't think you should be doing. There was going to be an organization that would tell you what you could and couldn't record.

All that pop that you see on the radio? It's just the worst crud I've ever heard in my life. It's designed to make money, and that's about it.

Although I have been pretty vocal about hating touring, the only part of touring I don't like is being on the bus and bouncing around.

America was founded on satanism.

Anyone who knows me or my past knows that I never walk away from a fight.

As a little kid watching horror movies, if you only got to see the monster for the last two minutes of the movie, I thought that movie pretty much sucked.

Back in the days, we had to work with a shoestring budget. We had a movie screen, and we'd show movie trailers on them, and then we'd rip through it and started playing. Now we have a little money to play with to do a cool stage set.

CDs sound so much better than MP3s. I'm sure they'll come out with a better format someday.

Comics are a dying art. If you ask a little kid to choose between a video game with insane graphics or comic books... you have to compete with cable, satellite TV with its thousands of channels, and with video games that are like movies, with CGI explosions where you can blow up worlds.

Comics are printed on paper, which is expensive, making it tough to stay in business.

David Bowie's death came out of the blue, as did Prince's.

Diet is really important, and I think vitamins are really important, also.

Everyone thinks L.A. is the beach. And actually, Hollywood is really far from the beach.

For me, it shouldn't just be a live show: it should be an experience. It should be some kind of crazy, tribal, exhausting experience.

However you feel about Dimebag, this is one of the most influential metal guitar players of the '90s. I was just talking to someone that I am hiring to bring on the tour who said that, when he was at the funeral, that Eddie Van Halen came and put his striped guitar in the coffin. That's a pretty big deal.

I always want to do - take everything and take it to the next step. I don't want to just keep doing something the same ol' thing. Obviously, I could have wrote 'Mother' 20 times and made tons of money and be playing gigantic arenas and whatever, but that's not really what I want to do.

I don't even listen to music on the road, and if I did, it would be classical or whatever, something to chill me out.

I don't follow trends. I just do what I like doing.

I don't know that I'm not normal, because usually, when I tell people the things I do, either their jaw drops or they look at me shocked, but I'm sure I do normal things - everyone eats, that kind of stuff.

I don't like a lot of drama on the road - I don't like prima donnas.
