Interview on Flipside

Steve: When I was in Agent Orange, Tony was always at our shows diving off the stage and just amazing us, this skinny kid diving off the stage. We look so good together, we?re such a clash, we just had to be in a band.

Tony: They still laugh at us "Look at that skinny kid" but they see us and a lot of things change.

Steve: All the P.R.s want to beat up Tony cause he says bad things about them. "No Friends" was about Rod Henley, but it?s not now, he?s a nice guy. I don?t know who it?s about now.

Frank: Oh god, I forgot my raisin head, I just can?t play without my raisin head!!

Steve: We liked the Plasmatics.

Casey: There?s this place, Brea Beach but there?s no beach, where like 3 punk bands live in different apartments Curby, Mike, Cathy, Steve and I live there and Tony has lived there, we have food sometimes?

Steve: We stay there and we lie to our parents. Me, Frank and Casey have food meetings there, first it was fruit cocktail.

Casey: Then it was marshmallows then frosted flakes then orange juice that makes your MM?s proon.

Steve: Then pancakes at Cathy?s?

Tony: I had spaghetti o?s at Cathy?s?

Steve: We have a song called "Kids of the Black Hole" (O.C. punk place) (used to be)

Casey: But we took the plumbing out, one time Gordon of the Detours tied Tony up and threw him in a cold swimming pool in winter and he sunk!!

ARE YOU POLITICAL? no.

Tony: There was this garage band in Petaluma called the Adolescents but they broke up, but I loved the name.

Steve: The new thing in O.C. is if you?re cool you say you fucked Tony.

Casey: (slash marks on arm) I?m not bummed cause I made a mistake, I didn?t do it for nothing, that?s dumb!

Steve: The first time we played a party with Agent Orange and Social Distortion we threw Eddie and Mike Patton out cause they didn?t have invites, we didn?t know who they were.

Casey: Then he saw us and said "God the Adolescents are good young kids".

EQUIPMENT: Eddie

Steve: Tony?s house was a good place to practice until Tony broke the windows.

Frank: I bought my head and guitar and my dad bought the cabinet, I mow lawns to pay him back.

Casey: I carry newspapers around and Rikk delivers drapes.

Steve: If we bring home money and wave it out parents faces they don?t care if we play, but if we don?t they mind.

Steve: Me and Frank go to school. I have a 17 year old beard.

Tony: (To roadie Mike Ness) I can tell if your drunk cause you can?t talk .

Mike Ness (Social Distortion): Unnuhhhah.

Tony: I don?t fry anymore, swear to God!

FAVORITE DRUG: Black Beauties.

Casey: Rikk and Steve write most of the songs, but we all write a few.

Tony: Frank makes movies about Big Jims, like Jimby, and Night of the living Jims, Dawn of the Jims, they?re like Zombies and they?re all melted, and they come out of the graves and walk all over the earth, they?re like G.I. Joes?

Casey: Teresa our Nanny had all these Jims, but we destroyed them all.

Tony: Night of the Jims was real cheap, but Dawn of the Jims is a million dollar project.

Steve: We save our lunch money to make movies, Frank mostly he?s the director, we do the lighting.

RECORDS: no

POSH BOY:

Steve: This disco guy wanted funk in our sound with 10,000 backing vocals, the guy laughed at Tony when he tied to sing, they treated us like shit, Casey wanted to hit the engineer dick, he?s just a dick, Posh Boy told us not to play games with him, he?d play games with us. That engineer was a real dick. Michael J, he gets me and Frank black girls, black girls are the best.

Tony: Used to be I?d get beat up in school and shit and everybody hated me. Now all of a sudden these people are being so nice. I don?t understand it at all, it?s hard not to let your head explode!!

Frank: My old band (Social D.) played our school and nobody came, they all hated us but now they beg us to play ? NO WAY!!

Casey: Should we hate the people that hated us then, that like us now????????

Steve: Casey surfs.
