Sonic Babe Of The Month - September 2006

Name: STARCRISS
From: Bologna, Italy

STARCRISS

What made you get into Rock N' Roll?

Living in late ‘70 in Italian countryside was not easy… I’ve got music magazines from someone and read articles about Clash, Stooges, Lou Reed and Sex Pistols. Times later I was buying my first vinyl: Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols!

What was your first rock concert and what was the experience like for you?

The Leaving Trains, Californian band, at Vinile an obscure underground club… Sam Merrick drew a snake in my arm..

What is your five all time favorite albums (CDs)?

TOTAL 13 - Backyard Babies
IN THE DYNAMITE JET SALOON - Dogs D'Amour
BAD SNEAKERS AND A PINA COLADA - Hardcore Superstar
BUCKCHERRY - Buckcherry
SCREAMADELICA - Primal Scream

Who are your five favorite bands?

BACKYARD BABIES – totally addicted!!!
THE RAMONES
NASHVILLE PUSSY
THE VELVET UNDERGROUND
Sonic Youth

What is your all time favorite song and why?

Quite difficult, man… this changes daily and depends by mood. I can say that The Sonics made three of best songs ever: PSYCHO, STRYCHNINE, CINDERELLA.

Do you play an instrument? If so, what & how long? Also are you in a band, who is it?

I am denied but I toughly learned how to play Passion of Guns’n’Roses with guitar….

If your can go back in time, who would you like to seen perform live & why?

I would like to say The Sex Pistols. Exactly when they decided to celebrate the Jubilee, along with the success of their record, in their own way by chartering a boat, upon which they sailed down the Thames, past Westminster and the Houses of Parliament, performing their live set. As usual, the event ended in chaos; the boat was raided by the police, and Mclaren, The Pistols and most of their entourage were arrested and taken into custody. When I first flyed in London at beginning of ’80, was too late: punk scene was dead.

If you could put the ultimate rock show together with three bands, who would it be?

FASTER PUSSYCAT, MOTLEY CRUE & TOILET BOYS

Do you think there's any bands out today can make rock n' roll big in the mainstream again?

BACKYARD BABIES!!! Don’t ask me why: from the very first time on ’98 I saw them live.. I was sure about it.

What do you think rock n roll is missing today?

Bands instead of mixing influences are going to copy to much. They probably have the attitude but not a real creativity: they just want to get into music business.

What is your definition rock n' roll?

"To me, Rock'n Roll is the art form most about being yourself," Joey Ramone once said. To me, Rock'n Roll is a self destruction blues.

What is your choice of poison (drink) while enjoying rock n' roll?

Negroni, poison cocktail made with Campari, gin and red sweet vermouth.

Any last words or thoughts about rock n roll?

To all kids I wanna remember “It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock `n` roll” and see you in YOUR backstage!
