Quotes 

  • Self - Editor - Slash Magazine : I have excellent news for the world. There's no such thing as New Wave. It does not exist. Its a figment of lamekind's imagination. There was never any such thing as New Wave. It was the polite thing to say when you are trying to explain you were not into the boring old rock-n-roll, but, you didn't dare to say punk because you were afraid to get kicked out of the fucking party and they wouldn't give you coke anymore. There's new music, There's new underground sound. There's noise. There's punk. There's power pop. There's ska. There's rockabilly. But, New Wave doesn't mean shit.

  • Self - Editor - Slash Magazine : I'm not writing, you know, to be pleasant, and just to have everybody say, "What a pal," "What a great guy," you know. I mean, I'm not choosing all these fucking hatred and contempt, you know, as a style. Because, I don't have a style, you know. You pick up an article, you pick another article next month and there's no style. Except - except its always overkill. So, if that's a style, you know. But, the intent is really to piss off people that, you know, I really hate and I want to see them dead and I really despise everything they stand for. Every word they say. The way they live. And I really want them to hate me. It makes me feel - good.

  • Self - Editor - Slash Magazine : [singing as Kickboy Face for "Catholic Discipline"]  My head is on fire, It's already morning, But pieces of the night, Are stick-tuck to my hair, What we did is fading, In the light of the day, What we say is bullshit, We live the modern way...

  • Self - Interviewer : How do you feel when you're performing?

    Self - Editor - Slash Magazine : [aka Kickboy Face]  I feel - powerful. I feel like I'm making an ass out of myself and I'm getting away with it. That's what I feel like.

  • Self - Editor - Slash Magazine : [singing as Kickboy Face for "Catholic Discipline"]  On this spotty mattress, I will lay for hours, Adding up all my sins, And inventing new ones, I'm proud of my life, And I stand by my doom, I can't tell right from wrong, It's never stopped me, All the prophets have died, The books have been written...

  • Self - Editor - Slash Magazine : [singing as Kickboy Face for "Catholic Discipline"]  Barbee doll lust it's not normal, Barbee doll lust it's not normal, Barbee doll lust it's not normal...

  • Self - Editor - Slash Magazine : There's no more brotherhood shit.

    Self - Interviewer : Why not?

    Self - Editor - Slash Magazine : It's not like, you know, we're not all grooving on the same vibes anymore. Everybody's grooving on different vibes. Ugly vibes.
