KJ: Now tell me, John…… what is your favorite thing about punk rock music? And, um… speaking of guitars… what kind of guitar do u rock??:)
JL: Punk rock means not giving a shit about the pretensions. At least that is what it means to me. You can do and say anything you want and don’t have to worry about whether your stepping out of the mold. We like to celebrate all the “uncool” stuff, whether it’s being an overweight slutty chick or a skinny wimpy dude and who can’t score, if your uncool, we love you.
Yes we play naked, except for Hitomi. She’s smart. Playing naked is totally disarming. The crowd loves it. At least the girls do. i keep the guitar pretty close. Prince Hal doesn’t mind swingin’ in the breeze. He’s cool.
i play a real shitty cheap Gibson Les Paul. i love it. I’ve broken the neck 3 times and glued it back together each time and it just sounds better and better.
KJ: Now, I cooooouldn’t help but notice sometimes ya rock a little goatee. ha!… Ever don a mustache? and what are your thoughts about facial hair in general?? (oh and by the way, I like Les Paul Guitars…..alot. You just scored some major major points up there!!
JL: Yes i like rockin’ the mustache and the goatee. I call it the “the american tickler”. Freddy Mercury had the best stache ever so there is no hope to be cooler. Amish beards look weird but maybe that’s a good thing. I’ve only seen mustaches look good on girls a couple times, but if your gonna kiss a girl with a mustache the man should not have one, i don’t know why but that sounds like good advice. I don’t know what I’m talking about.
KJ: ha! So, John….. what is this I hear about you, a cable TV rock show, and the Statues Of Liberty??!?!
JL:FUSE TV hired me to be a wild maniac rock and roll host on the show ROCK AND ROLL ACID TEST. I had a blast, broke my leg and did alot of incredibly stupid shit and got paid for it! That’s why I’m in LA at the moment. TV is fun but now I know how much of it is complete baloney! Except when you break your leg, that’s not Baloney.
KJ: kick-ass. Well, except for the breaking your leg part…….
So what is in store right now for you guys? Any pieces of excitement coming up u want to tell us crazy kids on whitepoison. com???
JL:We got asked to be a part of THE NEW YORK WASTE compilation cd and their will be a bunch of summer dates to promote and we also have a six song zinger on the way for summer. So we’re gonna be busy doin’ what we do best. Drive, set up, kick ass, break down and drive! Thanks so much for making us a part of WHITEPOISON!!!!
K You are so totally welcome! ahhh-hemmm! Bowery Ballroom, NYC??? do tell, do tell…….J:
JL: The last time we hit the Bowery Ballroom with the DIRTY PEARLS it sold out! It should be a great time. Are you coming to the show? GET DOWN!!!!
KJ: Absolutely. Flight Reservation confirmed!
STATUES OF LIBERTY INTERVIEW PART TWO: Coming Soon!















Excellent reporting Ms. K’Jo! You’re well on your way to becoming a total star f*cker
I think that the statues are a great band and the live show is off the chain. They are all friends of mine, John from childhood and I was introduced to their genre of playing through going to their concerts. Hope to catch the Bowery show as long as they don’t have me carry anything.
excuse me, miss nicole?
thanks for tuning in Aaron! i cant wait for the Bowery show! and u know u will end up carrying something:)
Eh, that comment did not come out right. I need to double check my classy vocabulary book before speaking in school. My bad.
I want that Bad Brains shirt.
(It’s three minutes till the bell rings) Do we have homework for the weekend?
