Interview with:
 
 
Huh, what shall I write in introduction about Adicts...NOTHING, you know everything, but read this interview, you'll find it very interesting! One more thing...I'm not sure who answered the questions since it was done by e-mail, I think it was James.
 
 
 
Q: What were you doing in the period off The Adicts?

A: Most of us have been catching up with Life, after a really long slog on tours and shitty record deals we decided to take some time off to recover from it all. And we have been learning new skills like Braille its fun when you can read in the dark.
Q:A lot of people were annoyed by your appearance on Keith Chegwin show on British TV. Why did you change your name for those occasion (The Fun Adicts)?

A: We arrived at the show as invited and when we were actually recording our spot some twat in the building decided our name was offensive to people, a large brawl was avoided. We really had no choice we had no money for Gas to get home so a compromise took place. It pissed us right off. Punk needed TV and we broke down a lot of barriers that day for these newcomers who really have nothing to say. Anyway we got pissed in the bar and messed that up too. The BBC are really snotty and we were banned. People can stay annoyed all they want we did it and do not regret it and we do not care It was our song and for all we know we might have named ourselves The Rolling Stones for the day. We did get on TV, and had a good time we were wasted pretty bad. It was Punk.
 
Q: Have you seen the porn movie called "Clockwork sex fantasy"?
A: Was Mel in that one?
 
Q: Do you have families and kids? What do they think about your music and style?

A:Yes we have families and kids Total between us 9 kids only Monkey has no kids but were sure he Knocked up a few boilers on tour and has sprogs all over the world. Our biggest fans and critics are our kids they know whats what. They think we rock.
 
Q: You played with all the famous names of punk-rock history. Who do you remember as cool and who would you call a bastard?
A: Bastards there are loads of them like the Pistols, POP STARS they have had 20 years to practice no wonder they cashed in on one album, it took 20 years to learn how to play it. Some great songs though. Monkey once asked Rotten to sign a pound note for a girl, he did so and monkey bought a pint of beer with it right in front of Rotten it really upset him good that don't you think. Cool bands and people Splodge Eddie Tenpole Chas Harper UK Subs the Testubes Toy Dolls. Vibrators. Joey Ramone. Toten Hosen. Twat Scabies. Plus many more.

 
Q: What do you think about todays punk-rock (especially american)?

A: Yo Dude it all sounds the same Dude...............Dude. No Comment.

Q: What's your opinion about politics? Do you support any organization?
A: M onkey supports the dig up Marilyn Monroe society. Kid is campaigning for vasectomy for gays. Pete wears Clinton is Happy badge and smokes used cigars. Mel supports the Skin up and Build party. And James has parties all the time at home for ageing trees.
 
Q: How do YOU call your music?

A: We have no idea since the influx of 1990s weenie bands maybe its HARD CORE or even Tribal Goth. That question is stupid... its for us to write and you to have sex too or get stoned too or just enjoy, hey there's a lot of shitty songs we wrote too we like them because of that. Its Art and its ours.
 
Q:Which label will release your new album? Tell us something about it.

A: We do not have one we are open for offers if we don't get one we are only going to sell it over the Web and finance it ourselves then its Punk again don't you agree Underground ......... Dude. ha ha. What a fking stupid word Dude " Hey there can I play with your Dude "."Yeh Dude thats Dude . Dudee" By the way the new Album is written and needs to be recorded it is going to be quite a shock for many people it will have something for all the family on it. So while the kids are in bed mom and dad can Pogo in the kitchen and the dog can screw the cat. Now thats Rock and Roll. Thats if we can get it recorded...Soon.
Q: Will there be a bigger tour for the new album? Tell us something interesting from your tours.
A: No we dont like the touring much any more. Just a few shows here and there Like Holidays in the sun this Summer [The Adicts have cancelled out of the Holidays In The Sun festival '99!- Vlada] and a few more. The problem is that means we would have to practice and when we do it always ends up a drinking session and we are so wasted before the tour and we never practiced at all its like we are insane or something... something funny happens every day on tour. Like the time Kid set fire to his drums on stage and he thought it was cool when his arms were on fire. He doesn't do that any more since he burnt his prick now that was funnier the smell was horrible.

Q: Say something bad about the rest of the band.
A: Kid your a wanker No your the wanker Monkey! No Pete's the wanker Yeh! But Mels a Donkeys Nob. Piss off you boring bastards. OK.

Q: Are you football maniacs? Which team do you support?
A: Pete and Kid" We support Sunderland AFC the Best team in the land" Mel and Monkey " we are sheep shaggers and support Ipswich Town" I support Southend "james" Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Q: What first comes to your mind when someone says Yugoslavia?
A: Kid: Dina she was cheap. Pete "nice bridges that are no longer". Monkey "Sadness and sorrow". Mel "cheap wine and holidays". James "crap cars".

Q: You always like to look like jokers. Now, tell us something really funny for the end.
A: This girl walks into a pub, sits at the bar and orders a bottle of Newcastle brown, she downs it and asks for another. Then she passes out cold, the barman says to his mate" lets take her in the back room and give her a good shagging before she comes around". The following evening she walks into the bar orders a bottle of Newcastle brown, she downs it and asks for another. Then she passes out cold, the barman looks around and then takes her into the back room and has his way with her. (Slurp Slurp) The Girly did this all week and the lads in the pub were quite happy with all the shagging they all did her and enjoyed it. On Saturday night she walked in and ordered a pint of Budweiser. "But you drink Newcastle brown" said the barman, she replied " I'm not drinking that shit anymore it makes my cunt sore"
