Please decide. This month with Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance)
Murder by Death or Midtown?
You mustn’t ask me that! I can’t and I don’t want to decide. They’re both rehearsal room colleagues. Midtown were maybe a little tidier cause they’ve been on tour oftener. So for my sake Midtown.
Rick Rubin or Ross Robinson?
Rick Rubin. He’s a genius, he produced some of my favourite bands, he made the Red Hot Chili Peppers sound good. And you gotta think about Slayer and Johnny Cash…
Batman or Blade?
Batman, even though I like the Blade movies better. Batman is Batman a cool character, Blade just half a vampire.
Stan Lee or Todd McFarlane?
Stan fucking Lee! He’s a legend. He created so many characters while McFarlane more made a name for toys. We met Stan Lee at the airport. I spoke to him right away: supernice.
Christopher Lee or Peter Cushing?
I’ll take Lee, even though he plays in the new dumb Star Wars parts and Cushing in the better old ones.
Clive Barker or Stephen King?
I like Barker pretty much, but King is unbeaten. My favourite King book is “Salem’s Lot”, but he’s also great when he’s not moving in the horrorscene.
Priest or Maiden?
That’s easy - Maiden. I’m not interested in Priest and I find it stupid how plump Rod Halford came out on this Tough-Guy-Track. He also sings much to high. Bruce Dickinson has mor dynamic.
Misfits or Damned?
The Misfits. The first punkrecord I bought was “Walk among us” in junior highschool. I bought it as MC in the mall. That’s where I also bought all of my patches from Halloween and Cinderella and stuff. When I was over this glamshit I bought this huge “Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part 2”- Backpatch.
Ginger Beer or Root Beer?
Root Beer cause I grew up with it. I need like an hour for a Ginger Beer cause I’m not used to it. The best Root Beer is from A&W and you drink it favored - when you sit in a fiting restaurant- out of a icecold cup.
