MUSICOLOGY: SLAYER

Of ik Jeff Hanneman wilde spreken?, vroeg de persmevrouw van Universal, 'valt paasmaandag op 'n maandag", dacht ik en zei met een brede grijns 'Ja." Ik was op 't OZZFEST voor een interview met Mushroomhead en dat verliep prima. Hanneman (RIP) bleek een aangename gesprekspartner te zijn en ook al viel Kerry King een paar keer midden in ons gesprek, niemand stoorde zich aan 't puberale gedrag van de andere Slayer-held. Rock Tribune publiceerde een deel van 't interview.

MUSICOLOGY: DYNAMO OPEN AIR

Voor huis-aan-huis krant De Trompetter schreef ik ooit 'n artikel over het legendarische Dynamo Open Air en voerde een fijn gesprek met een van de organisatoren, André Verhuysen.

MUSICOLOGY: REEVES GABRELS

©1997 Senzor - One of the longest conversations I've ever had. Unless under the interview moninker. Almost four hours Reeves Gabrels talks about music, making music, learning music and his life. And his life as important musician in Bowie's band. And his signature on very fine Bowie records like Earthling. Anno 2014 Gabrels plays with The Cure and releases solo records and duo records once in a while. Great guy.

MUSICOLOGY: KING'S X

©2001 LiveXS - DuG Pinnick is one of my all-time favs. Almost all music he had released and still releases (KXM, Grinderblues, Pinnick, Gales, Pridgen, A.N.M.) sounds just great. During this conversation I thought Pinnick smoked some stuff earlier that day, but it can also be his persona. Very amical, relax and a music lover/musician par excellence.

MUSICOLOGY: W.A.S.P.

Expo Pleintheater Amsterdam

Another exposition I have had in 1993. It was in Amsterdam (Pleintheater). I made some erotic cartoons, most of them are lost. Fortunately.

MUSICOLOGY: GUITAR WOLF

My former collegue Karen had some Guitar Wolf (ギターウルフ) records which I liked. When the Japanese rock trio hit the road in Europe I had the change to write an article about them. But there was a problem: all band members didn't speak English. Faxing was the solution. My questions were translated, then they answered in Japanese and the band manager faxed me the English answers. Bassist Billy Bass Wolf died in 2005. Guitar Wolf, Toru, U.G. and Seiji, still punkrocks a lot.

MUSICOLOGY: FOETUS

Australian Jim J.G. Thirlwell is Foetus. An important experimental avantgarde industrial band. MLB (Muzieklab Brabant) booked and produced some Thirlwell's Steriod Maximus live performances in The Netherlands. Later Thirlwell worked with Nine Inch Nails, Zola Jesus and Kronos Quartet. An inspiring person and intelligent musician.

MUSICOLOGY: LIVING COLOUR

I met Corey Glover, lead singer of Living Colour, in a large hotel suite in Brussels. He was tired and this interview was a duty number. Later I saw Living Colour serveral times live on stage and it explains why Corey yawned a lot. Being a rock star means hard working.

MUSICOLOGY: SLIPKNOT

I wrote three articles on Slipknot. Two times I had a nice conversation with Joey Jordison and later I met the late Paul Gray. Meanwhile Jordison left Slipknot (or was let go). He is still one of the best metal drummers.

MUSICOLOGY: MOBY

The Effenaar is a music venue in Eindhoven (The Netherlands). In 1996 played Moby a (rockminded) set in the old building. I sat in his luxury tour bus in a departement what looks like a living room. Moby loves music. So talking about music was a fest. He even loves one of my favorite records: Ace Frehley solo effort from 1978.

MUSICOLOGY: XTC

I was nervous. One of my heroes was going to call me. Since 1979 I'm a big XTC fan. It was Stewart Copeland who wore a XTC shirt, so I knew that's a great band. Colin Moulding spoke clearly and he put me at ease. 2007 Moulding left XTC and rarely makes music nowadays.

Snoecks and Saladillo

Article I wrote for Snoecks in 2003. Spoke some famous people like Shakira! Snoecks is a Belgian Magazine/book, published annual. Really great piece of work. Even if you can't read Dutch it features also architecture, photography, art and more. Check it, if you can.

Interview Het Gazet van Antwerpen

In 1995 gaf ik een stripmagazine uit met de rare naam Isokolopookie. Verder dan drie nummers ben ik niet gekomen en de oplage lag tussen 100 en 250 stuks. Helaas heb ik geen enkele exemplaar van Isokolopookie meer.

Expositie Uden

In 1992 hingen er in de kleine zaal van de nieuwe Pul te Uden een aantal tekeningen en cartoons. Sommige waren elders eerder te zien, andere heb ik kort van tevoren gemaakt (alles is naderhand vernietigd). Ik hoorde later dat Herman Brood een paar tekeningen okay vond.
