He broke up with his friends and now he's back [A] together with them.
[Ab]
[E] Hello, hello.
[Gm] Are you like Russian or Polish or something?
[E]
No.
What are you?
Italian [G]-Irish.
Italian-Irish.
[Gb] Are you medicated anyway?
You're just like mellow like that?
Yeah.
What made you start doing the stuff with [Gm] the skate videos?
Somebody asked you to do it or [Eb] you just knew that it was Chris [G] and him?
Mostly from Neil [Abm] Blunder.
Yeah, I remember when Neil moved to Ohio [C] and all those guys started Alien Workshop.
It seemed cool at the time.
It seemed cool [Db] at the time.
When did you start skating when you were how old?
[E] Maybe 11.
[B] So then did you skate in parks in Massachusetts every time?
Yeah, [Em] in Western Mass, in Springfield [Bb] there was an indoor park.
It was pretty cool.
I remember they had [Em] this video [B] game, Three-Quarter Pipe, [E] where you put a quarter in and [B] try to
light up the things [Gm] all the way up the thing.
You [E] had to get up on it.
They had a lot of those.
Jeff Phillips does [C] that skate ball.
You [G] had to hit the sensors.
The clown ramp, those little [B] circles on the clown ramp are [E] actual sensors before they
took the LED readout [B] of you can hit top score.
We were groundhogs, nobody [E] dropped in, so you had to fake it back up and hit all the
tingers, the sensors, hit high score, and then sit down and then you had to [Gb] beat your score.
Right?
[B] Yeah, and it was a three-quarter pipe.
It [E] was pretty hard.
Ridiculous, pretty dangerous.
Do you remember the first time you [A] saw or met Jake?
I [Ab] remember playing [Gm] somewhere with [Ab] Jerry's kids and I remember him saying,
oh I like your drumming or something.
And I [Gm] was like, yeah, we were just kind of nerd [Bb] kids out in the street.
Western Mass, bro.
Do you remember them being the [Bb] nerds?
No, I don't remember any of that, Eric, because it was all about [B] fucking wading through [Bb] blood.
The gallery [Ab] where I seen his band, Deep Wound, it was like the floor was just like [Bbm] the hardest
fucking concrete floor you ever saw.
[Bb] Once the music started, it was like [B] a penguin in a fucking blender.
It was good for me because it was right next to the bus stop so [Gb] I could take the bus.
Of all the bands from Boston at that time, which one, name three of the big bands that you liked the most.
Well, I liked Gang Green when they were three [Bb] piece and SSD, of course, and Jerry's kids, I guess.
That's it.
What about The Groinways?
Oh yeah, I liked The Groinways.
Did you see Gigi and Cantones and shit like that?
Yeah, I played in his band once.
Oh, I heard that story.
Tell me, [B] what was that like being with a rock and roll [Gb] terrorist?
It was terrible.
You know, they shit on the stage immediately.
You're standing there like, I should get tested.
I feel weird, man.
I was like, this is a really bad idea.
Why did I want to do that?
And he's jamming the mic up his ass and he's covered with blood.
He's blood and [Eb] shit within one song.
[Gb] He's just covered and then he [Bbm] got thrown out of the club after like four [E] songs.
Do you remember UK Sub's Anti-Nowhere League show in New York?
Yeah.
Where all the Boston guys came?
No, we'd whooped up on New York and then they came back to that one at [Eb] Huntington Avenue.
And then it was Void, [Gb]
DOA, Impact [D] Unit.
And then the New York [Bb] kids came up and they just fucking mopped the streets with us.
It was [Bb] like murder.
Okay, this is true.
I'm wading through blood [B] here and here I am like [Gm] this, you know, just killing people right here.
Dave [E] Smalley comes up and he goes, this [B] dude just spit in my ear.
Let's kill him.
I was like, get the [N] fuck away from me, man.
I'm going through, this is really killing me right here.
Sucks to put you on the [Gm] night, but thanks very much.
Yeah, no [Bb] problem.
I remember pictures of Alva and stuff, [G] but I don't remember.
[Gm] Pictures of Alva, that's the new band.
That's my website.
