Introduce your band to SLAM!'s
fans that don't know you yet.
Howdy folks! my name´s Dennis
Post, and I play guitar in the meanest, fastest, hardest,
drunkest?! Heavy Rock´n´Roll Band you´ve
never heard of!
We burn like a fucking flamethrower on acid yeaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggg!!!!!
Are u guys satisfied with the
results you got from "Broken Halo"?
Yeah dude! I think it turned out
pretty good for a first album... there are bits and
pieces I would like to change´n shit like that,
but that´s how most people feel after their
stuff is out... We learned a lot about recording,
and that will definetly shine thru on the new album!
How is it going with Adrenaline
Records?
it´s going pretty good! Primo, our contact there,
recently landed us a contract with Melodic Heaven
in Korea for the release of Broken Halo in Asia...You
can´t complaint about that!!
"Rebelution" is the
title of your forthcoming album. Do we have to expect
somethin' new about your sound?
Hell Yeah!! it´s harder
than Roco Sifreidi´s dick, and the attitude
has been cranked to the max! It still sounds like
starrats, but instead of playing hard rock with heavy
elements, we flipped it the other way around! I brought
home a demo of it, and one of my friends thought it
was Anthrax.....
You also recorded "Long
live Rock'n'Roll" by Rainbow.
Will it be included in the next album as well?
No! The Rainbow song is already
on "a tribute to the glory of ´80s metal"
(Steelheart Records), and it´ll be on the Asian
version of "Broken Halo" as well... along
with covers of "tie your mother down" by
Queen, and "Mr Crowley" by Ozzy.
It´s going to be a duoble disc over there...
very cool shit!!!
There will be any cover in it?
Not on the actual album, but we
did record "I wanna be somebody" by
W.A.S.P, and "Heading out to the highway"
by Priest for Asian bonus-tracks.
Talking about covers, why did
you choose to do the "Dancing with myself"
a cover by Generation X?
I think it´s a great fucking
song, but I also felt that the original could easily
take a little more rip-your-head-off attitude, so
we thashed the annoying keyboard-parts, turned up
the tempo, and cranked the guitar... We turned it
into what it was always meant to be... a punk-rock
anthem!!!!
If you were to choose, what
cover would you have done?
...ergh!? Tina Turner´s
"private dancer"! It touches me so deeply,
and my tiny little fragile heart cries out to all
the broken hearted sob´s in the world... blah...
blah...!!!
I know you're Skid Row's
great fans and your sound is someway affected by it.
How was it playing with them?
That was a pretty good show..
unfortunatly the skid´s were totally burned
out after months of touring, so they weren´t
much fun to hang with... I was still a fucking ball
to steal their booze ...he...he..!!
Do you think that Skid
Row can still exist even without Sebastian
Bach?
Shure! their new album is not
bad at all, and the singer is doing a great job live
as well! It´s still not Sebastian though, and
he will always be the true voice of Skid Row
in my opinion!!!
You played as support band for
Dokken, Freak Kitchen and
Alice Cooper. Did it happen something
curious or special you can tell us?
At the Dokken
Show I was so incredibly shit-faced that i don´t
remember most of it, but we played a pretty good show...
I was told!! The Alice Cooper gig
was a blast! I teamed up with Eric Dover,
and destroyed the backstage room... we threw coconuts
around, and Alice´s tour-manager almost took
one in the face... after that we we´re all thrown
out, but bloody hell, it was fun!!!
Freak Kitchen was the most rescent
gig we played, and being old pals with the guys only
made it more fun... the backstage area was a war-zone
with booze´n chicks flying ´round everywhere
and... oops! better stop before I tell stuff I might
regret...
I read that the first record
you bought was "Bad Medicine"single and
the first concert you've been to was Bon Jovi's.
Have you listened to "Have a nice day"?
What do you think about it?
I Heard the single and I guess
it´s okay, but I haven´t been listening
to "the jersey syndicate" for many years.
I´m more into bands like System of a
down, Muse, and Arch
Enemy these days. I still loooove the old
BJ records!!!
What do you think about bands
like D.A.D, Switchblade and
Mike Tramp?
I think D.A.D
is a great rock band, but I liked their old shit better.
It´s a bit too pop oriented these days. Swichblade
hmmm!? Their former guitarist Thomas Lock was great,
and that´s all I´m gonna say about that
band! By the way, Thomas Lock is also the guy who
does my tattoos, and we´re pretty good friends,
and his new band is gonna fucking smash anything Swichblade
ever did!
In Italy if you're not playing
in a tribute/cover band, it's hard to find places
where to play. How is the situation in Denmark? Can
you live on music alone?
I could live off it if I wanted
to, but I spend a lot of money, so a little extra
cash is needed, and that´s why I have a dayjob
as well.
The tribute/cover band bullshit is also a problem
here for younger bands, but in our genre, there´s
no compettition for us, and we are pretty popular
here, so we can pretty much get a gig whenever we
want to... Let that be a lesson to all you fucking
coverband bitches!!!! As Eddie Van Halen once said;
I´d rather bomb with my own shit, than make
it we someone else´s! Amen brother!!!
Some friends of mine have been
to Copenaghen last summer and were really touched
by the beauty of Danish women. Are they really that
beautiful or my friends were drunk?
You know what!`that´s exactly
what the guys in Denmark says about Italian girls...I
guess it´s true then; The grass is always greener
on the other side....
If I wanted to go on holiday
over there, what do you suggest I should do? What
places should I avoid and what pubs can't I miss?
Well, there are 100s of great
bars, pubs, and clubs here, but the place I spend
the most time is a venue called "The Rock".
it´s an 800 people Rock/metal party in the heart
of Copenhagen.... oh yeah!? avoid the low-class hookers
in the vest-end, they might give you more than you
bargained for ergh!"!#(
Give a adjective to each of these
guitarists:
John Norum: My
first hero, and to this day, a brilliant player!
Zakk Wylde: The
meanest motherfucker in the world!! I love the way
he demolishes his poor Les Paul and beats the shit
out of the strings. He´s also the guy I would
most like to take on in a drinking contest ...yikes!
Gary Moore: As
fine a rockmonster, as he is a bluesman!!!
Dimebag: Rest
in peace brother! I used to laugh my ass off, when
old guys got tears in their eyes from talking about
Hendrix... I know how they feel now!!!
Steve Vai: A
huge influence on me! the king of all that is wierd
and insane!
Mattias IA Eklundh: Ahh,
my little swedish buddy! One of the nicest guys I
know, and by far the greatest player!!! if Vai is
the king of wierd, then IA is the fucking GOD!!!!
Slash: Not a
big fan of his playing, but I like the iconic, almost
cartoonish look he has... gotta dig that hat!!
Richie Sambora: Like
Norum, one of my first heroes... great bluesy rock
player!
Who do you think is the most
underestimated guitarist?
Mattias IA Eklundh,
no discussion!!!
Last summer a guitar that belonged
to Jimi Hendrix and then to
Frank Zappa was put up for an a auction and
was sold at a very high price. If you had to do somethin'
crazy, what guitar would you spend all your savings
on?
I would rather spend it on booze´n
Bitches dude! To me, guitars are just pieces of wood!
it´s people that makes them sound cool!!! Just
look at mine, the´re all fucking wrecks!!!
What are Dennis Post's
plans for the future?
World domination... and a beer endorsement!!
