Interviews
Nashville Pussy
| VOX: How boring were the
Grammys? (Note: Nashville Pussy was nominated for "Best Metal Band," which went
to Metallica) Cory Parks: They should rename it "The Boring Grammys." Ruyter Suys: Yeah, the lame awards! Blaine Cartwright: Usually, I can change the channels, and I don’t mind as much, but we were stuck. They close the doors and lock you in, so you can’t leave…probably for a reason. Ruyter: It was truly lame. VOX: How do you like Los Angeles, other than that? Ruyter: It’s great. Cory: I love it here. Ruyter: She’s [Cory] from here. Blaine: Ahh, it’s great man. I love it. I would move here if I were single. Ruyter: [Laughing], Single-r! Blaine: Yeah. Cory: We were at some cool parties. We saw the Bar-Kays last night. It was pretty cool. Ruyter: Yea, the Bar-Kays… Blaine: Good food and stuff afterwards. Cory: Amazing food… Ruyter: Free liquor… Blaine: That’s about it.
VOX: There are some porn elements in your video for the song, "Go Motherfucker, Go." What inspired it? Ruyter: Porn theme… Blaine: That was just John (the video's director), basically… Ruyter: That’s a typical night of Nashville Pussy shows. Pretty much someone always gets laid or someone ends up breaking up. Pretty consistent.
VOX: Why didn’t you go all the way and just do hardcore? Ruyter: I don’t know. I think he was trying to get something that could actually be seen one day. [Lauging] He was holding back. Cory: That wasn’t our intention to do something real ‘porno.’ It was like "lets just do a video of a live show" and in three minutes we’re trying to pack in everything that happens in an evening at a Nashville Pussy show. We didn’t have an agenda or porn quota we had to fill.
Ruyter: [Lauging] It took eight hours to do! Cory: We had a good time! Ruyter: Yea we did it for eight hours and we don’t even remember their names! Cory: It was perfect. Ruyter: We ended up picking the second photo of the whole shoot. And, we’re taking names for the next one [laughing]. Send in your naked pictures.
VOX: What are your favorite sex positions? Ruyter: Dick inside me. Cory: Doggy style. Blaine: Pussy style! Ruyter: [laughing] Yeah, pussy style.
VOX: You know, it’s a matter of time Ruyter: Are you saying that 'cause we are in the Hustler store? Blaine: Nah, I don’t think that’ll happen. I just had this big article run in my hometown and it was called "Shock Rock" cause we were nominated for a Grammy, and there was no response. They’re all, ‘there’s Blaine doing his thing.’ It would be nice to get the attention - it would probably be cool.
VOX: (To Cory and Ruyter) Do you find men are intimidated by you? Ruyter: YES! We have discovered since we have been in this band, that there are much more submissive men out there than we ever, ever thought. Back when we were civilians, we met a lot more cooler guys! Cory: The guys that are tough don’t even approach us. They just watch the show and leave. The ones that approach us… Ruyter: Want to get their ass kicked! Cory: Yeah, abusing them. They’re not ready to be done yet.
VOX: How did you guys get together? Ruyter: It was God’s work.
VOX: Where did you get the name? Ruyter: Ted Nugent came up with the name…Good old Uncle Ted.
Blaine: Nah, man. Ruyter: We barely got our foot in the door. We’ve only been around for a little over two years. So, we’re just a baby band right now. Blaine: We have all got a certain idea of where we want to be and it’s hard to articulate the same idea. It’ll take a couple of records to get there. Ruyter: When we recorded the last album, we thought we sounded like Aerosmith. And then, I was like, "holy shit!" this is unbelievably fast. So, we’ve become a metal band according to the Grammys in France. Ok, so we’re a metal band in a few countries, but we still think we’re a rock band. But we ain’t no Marilyn Manson! Blaine: Those guys are alright. But they seem to take more time creating image, socializing, playing rock stars, than sitting in a room and practicing with their instruments. Which is why I think we’re going to kick their ass.
VOX: Well, he is tying the knot now with Rose McGowan. Cory: Big fuckin' score getting her. Ruyter: Let’s start taking bets and see how long that’s going to last. Cory: I will tell you something else. If this guy was still going by the name ‘Brian Warner’ there’s no way that he would be dating Rose McGowan. So, great score Brian! Blaine: I think she’s hot too. I have seen her in three movies and they’re all terrible. Fuckin’ terrible. And, not in a cool way. I know she’s hot. Ruyter: If only an ass could act! Blaine: I am rooting for her. I will take it all back.
VOX: How is it touring with two chicks? Blaine: Great man. I mean, four guys in a band will argue about anything. "What’s the best way to get to this place." "Who said this first?" "I thought of that." "Fuck you, you said this five days ago"…It’s bad. Ruyter: We have the world’s funniest drummer. He is always a constant source of entertainment. That helps. Blaine: If it was four guys, they wouldn’t be here in this interview. It would be just me bitchin’ about them not being here.
VOX: When is your next album due out? Ruyter: Tentatively, September.
VOX: What should we expect at your next performance? Ruyter: Get laid rock n’ roll. Get all hot and sweaty and go home and fuck the shit outta somebody! |
VOX: Talk to me about this album cover...
before some evangelist tries to demonize you. Are you prepared for this?
VOX: What’s your definition of success? Do you feel you’re at
where you want to be?
