Here’s another post from interview with Maynard James Keenan, this time discussing his “job.”
“The job, and what I interpret as my job, if that’s how you want to label it, is to observe, interpret and report. We march to the beat of that drummer, so the results are different and decisions are different, since they have nothing to do with money or fame.”

I spoke with Kittie‘s Morgan Lander about surviving the music business. Said Lander,
“The most important is to be good at what you do and be confident. We were young and naïve when we started, and the one thing we had was that we thought we were pretty awesome. People may not have agreed at the time, but there was something there.”

I spoke with Rammstein guitarist and backing vocalist Paul Landers (via a translator) about their new album, and some of the inner turmoil the band has endured. Said Landers,
“After all of the years together, there was the tendency for band members to work together in smaller groups and then contribute ideas to the whole. [Drummer Christoph ‘Doom’ Schneider] issued an ultimatum, that we needed to work together or not do it at all.”

I interviewed Kerry Malouf, celebrity makeup artist and new BN contributor.
What’s your take on New York vs. Los Angeles beauty?
I love working in LA and New York. New York is more fashion-oriented and people take it more seriously. LA is mostly celebrity-based.

I spoke with Brann Dailor of Mastodon about his most memorable tour experiences. Said Dailor,
“Once we were in Binghamton and we played a China Buffet that was closed. The stage was where the buffet line would start. Behind us was a light box of the Hong Kong skyline, with 300-400 kids rocking out.”

I spoke with Tom Morello and he told me how to make that “‘screechy scratch’ sound” on the guitar!
“Turn the volume of one pick up to 10 and of the other pick up to 0. When you switch between pick ups, it acts as a killswitch, since one is off and one is on. Once you get that far, rub the palm of your hand along the strings, which is abrasive and makes a ‘white noise’ wash. Then use the toggle switch, which turns the white noise wash on and off… which sounds very much like a turntable scratch.”
