Super Rock Quiz: |
|
|
I remember when I told Sleaze about my plans
for a Kittie/Thine Eyes Bleed Super Rock Quiz he was a tad hesitant.
‘Kittie's a nu-metal band, really,” he told me, “but since they're teen
lezzies, I suppose that cancels the nu-jack out.’

Kittie has a
billboard right outside Legends (a strip club in London). Where’s the
Thine Eyes Bleed billboard? Jeff: In our practice space. Justin: Yeah, we’ve got a mural in our practice space so it’s kind of like looking in the mirror. Jeff: Any one who goes up there can see us. Morgan: Well, we live here and we wanted to piss everyone off in the city. We figured it’s an inexpensive way to piss the city of London off. That’s what we like to do best. They love to hate us, so why not. Give them another reason, right? |

It’s true, London
hates Kittie.
So, erecting a giant billboard out of sheer mockery, by a strip joint no
less, with your maniacal mugs and devil horns shadowing the city, wins
this round. The Kittie press release refers to the band as sexy rockers. Who writes that stuff and are you happy about it? Morgan: Oooh, sexy. I don’t know about that. I don’t write the press releases. We actually have a guy that does that for us. I don’t know about the whole sexy thing, though. Justin: He must think that you’re sexy. Morgan: Mike Mazur? I’m going to have to ask him about that. Justin: I’m just throwing that out there. Mike Mazur is Kittie’s PR guy. Given Morgan’s feelings on being thought of as sexy, I was certain she’d spit venom when learning of this. But no such luck.

So where’s the
Thine Eyes Bleed press release and will you guys be referred to as
sexy? Jeff: We’re referred to as sexy a lot. Morgan: I prefer ‘Canadian metal heartthrobs Thine Eyes Bleed.’ Justin: We’re working on some more revealing promo shots right now. It’s about time metal music had heartthrobs. I think we’re all tired of waiting for Devin Townsend to turn into an actual strapping young lad. Who’s got the sexier groupies? |

Justin: Depends if you like dudes or chicks. Jeff: It doesn’t matter anyway, Jen gets them all. Points to Kittie bassist Jen Arroyo on this one. Meow. If Morgan and Justin were to get in to a screaming match, who would win? Justin: We actually talked about recording this. Morgan: I always thought it would be fun because we’re both kind of scary, but the thing is, we never fight. But if it happened, I’d be the one doing the screaming. I’m not going to disagree with Morgan, you know, on account of the scariness. But bonus points to Justin for not disagreeing either. |

 Name one song you’ve sung at a karaoke bar that you’re ashamed of.Morgan: I’ve never done karaoke before in my life. Justin: Pearl Jam’s Black. I wasn’t ashamed. I had an awesome time. Jeff: I’ve never done karaoke. I once heard a rumour that Morgan sung Lady in Red at a karaoke bar once because no one else ever sung it right. It turns out it was her sister Mercedes. Apparently Mercedes loves the karaoke and is not afraid to pull some Winger, Montell Jordan, or any early 90s RNB songs out of her ass. What does pussy sugar taste like? Justin. Cinnamon. Jeff: Like warm apple pie. Morgan: Pussy sugar is delicious. Justin: It’s a tasty treat for all ages. Jeff: It’s terrific. There’s a song called Pussy Sugar on Kittie’s new album, Until the End. How fucking cool is that? |

Is Lisa Marx (new Kittie guitarist) the
long lost Lander sister? Morgan: No, she’s not. Well, in a way she kind of is...don’t take the pink ones! Justin: Where the fuck’s our towels? Morgan: Yeah, they took all the pink ones. This question got interrupted because someone came in the room and took the pink towels laid out for Thine Eyes Bleed. Justin left to go retrieve them. There’s something noble about a man who’s passionate about pink towels. Tell me one thing about the London music scene that might shock or amaze me, besides the fact that it sucks. Morgan: That’s exactly what I was going to say. Justin: Which part of suck amazes you? I’m amazed by every part of suck, my friend. |
 Is
there anything you can tell me about the Canadian metal scene that might
shock or amaze me?Morgan: There are a lot of good death metal bands in Canada. Justin: There are a lot of good metal bands in Canada, actually. Morgan: Because Thor is awesome! Justin: If you’re a heavy metal band and you can actually get out of Canada and make some sort of a living then you’re on top of the world. Jeff: There are a lot of good metal bands in Quebec. They’re much more receptive there. Morgan. Yeah, the French know what they’re doing. Thor is awesome. |

If you had to choose between invisibility
and flight, which superpower would you want to have? (Thanks to Eddie
Spaghetti for this question). Morgan: I think I would definitely want to be invisible. I want to spy on some motherfuckers. I want to see what people are up to. Justin: Creepy diddler styles. Morgan: Peek in chick’s windows and shit. Justin: For the first few weeks. Jeff: Or just lie down and trip people. Why is it that if people have the chance to be invisible, they’d ultimately resort to voyeurism and violence? Oh wait, that’s pretty self explanatory… |

Fill in the song lyric blank: “We are
________. We will go far. We have guitars. We’ll eat your cars.” Morgan: What? That sounds familiar but I don’t know. It sounds like fucking Kideo or something. Justin: It’s got to be some classic 80s or something. Jeff: I’m going to say Gwar, but I don’t think it’s Gwar. Jeff got it. That’s pretty damn impressive. And that’s one silly and stupid song. |

Finally, I’ve got some serious fucking
shit going on with my elbow. What’s happening here? Can somebody please
tell me? Justin: Psoriasis? Morgan: Yeah, you’ve got some psoriasis going on there. You can use some cream on your elbow. Jeff: Noxzema girls get noticed, dude. I used to have a crush on ex-Noxzema girl Rebecca Gayheart, especially during her Beverly Hills 90210 days. But that’s a story for another day. Whether it was psoriasis or eczema, it’s almost cleared up now. For those of you keeping score at home, these intelligent and sarcastic beasts got an astounding 85%! Well, not only do Kittie and Thin Eyes Bleed play some bitchin’, heavy-ass music, they talk the talk and walk the walk, in fine Super Rock Quiz fashion.

Well, believe it or not,
the man and I do not agree all the time, so I forged ahead anyway. I mean,
if there’s one thing that can sway him, it’s teen lezzies, so I knew I was
good to go. Now, if you ask me, Kittie ain’t nu-metal. As for whether or
not they’re a gang of young and ragged rug munchers is really none of my
business, but what I do know is that they’re evil-spewing metal
priestesses that’ll cut a hole through your heart with their sonic death
rattle if you get too close. And that alone gets them a seat at the
Sleazegrinder table, no questions asked.
