Interview with Gerry from Matthew 24 by Ove

Hello Gerry, thank you so much for giving Blizz Of Rock this interview
First of all want to thank you Gerry, I’m honored to talk to the lead singer behind the great rock band MATTHEW 24.

 

When was the band MATTHEW 24 formed?  What is the story behind the name?

IT WASN'T FORMED...IT WAS HATCHED...IT WAS WAS A MERE ARCHEOLOGICAL FIND FROM THE HEART OF A PREHISTORIC GOAT EGG.

I don’t think that Matthew 24 is a religious band but The bible goes like this about  Matthew 24 “Jesus foretells the doom of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple—Great calamities shall precede his Second Coming—He gives the parable of the fig tree”  Have you been confronted with this line before?

ALL RELIGIOUS FANATICS SPEW THEIR HYPOCRISY ABOUT THE "END"...WELL THIS IS THE ULTIMATE SCRIPTURE..FROM THE HUMANITY'S FAVORITE "PROP"...THE HOLY BIBILE

You have released a record with 6 songs called Horns up,  How did that come about?

WELL...A PHOTOGRAHPER FROM HAWAII...WHO OBVIOUSLY INDULGES IN OPIATES.....GAVE US THE INFAMOUS PHRASE..SO WE RAN WITH IT.

Gary

One of my favorite songs is called Above the ground what can you tell me about that song?

WELL I WROTE IT IN 1999..IRONICALLY IT ALL CAME TRUE IN 2001...NO MAGICAL PROPHECIES OR POWERS....PHSYCIC ABILITIES ON MY PART...JUST AN ABILITY TO OBSERVE THE DIMINISHING CONDITION OF THE HUMAN RACEWELL...I HAVE TO TRANSFORM HUMANS INTO ANIMALS..JUST TO GRANT THEM PITY...AND GOAT'S  EYES ARE FILLED WITH TRUTH

Who is the song and lyric writer in Matthew 24?

I WRITE IT ALL...ME..GERRY.....THE GOATMASTER...I HAD A MISSPENT YOUTH WITH A HORRIBLE CHILDHOOD...THAT'S WHY I CAN RELATE TO CHARLES BUKOWSKI, JIM MORRISON ETC...MEN WITH "0" FRAUD.. I ALSO WORSHIP MARLON BRANDO...RICHARD BURTON ETC...ALPHA MALES WHO WEREN'T PUSSIFIED, BRAIN DEAD LOSERS LIKE BEN AFFLECK

Will there be other MATTHEW 24 releases in the near future?

YES..I HAVE 4 ALBUMS WORTH OF MATERIAL

Where may we find the albums, where could we buy the music from MATTHEW 24?

FROM "MY SPACE" AS OF NOW...UNTIL I REACH AN AGREEMENT WITH ONE OF THESE MAJOR LABEL TURDS

Is it possible to see MATTHEW 24 live on tour?

SOOOOOOOOON...............

Any bands or artists you would love to have with you on your tour?

AC/DC... MOTORHEAD, SEX PISTOLS REUNION...OR OZZY

If there was one place in the world wide that you could play where would that be?

SHEA STADIUM...IN NEW YORK.....THE PLACE WHERE "THE GODZ" ONCE STOOD

MATTHEW 24 is a rock band right? Where do you get your influence? Do you feel that MATTHEW 24 got their own style?

I FEEL THAT WE HAVE A SOUND...HOWEVER THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN-I AM INFLUENCED BY ANYTHING THAT WAS GOOD.  MY FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME IS THE BEATLES.

Whats your opinion about  ROCK  & roll coming back?(If it ever were gone)

THE DARKNESS WAS THE MOST RECENT BAND TO REVIVE MY HOPE FOR THIS LAME ASS FUCKING INDUSTRY...AND THEY'RE GONE..LIKE A FART IN THE WIND

What sort of age group are you attracting with your music?

IF IT'S GOOD.....AGE WILL BE IRRELEVANT...THE AGE ISSUE IS A MARKETING PLOY INVENTED BY THE BOTTOM FEEDING, FACIST FUNGUS WHO OWN & OPERATE THE RECORD COMPANIES AND CAN'T EVEN SING "MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB" IN WHOLE NOTES!!!! STUPID CUNTS!!

If you got the chance to have a concert in Norway, what could we expect from MATTHEW 24?

WELL...GARY AND I ARE HALF NORWEGIAN...AND I BELIEVE IN CATERING TO MY EHTNICITY (NO RAP OR SHIT HOP)......SO...YOU'LL PROBABLY SEE PURE..ALPHA-MALE, LIQUOR RIDDLED VIKINGS...ABUSING SEVERAL THOUSAND PATRONS...WHO'LL  GENUINELY LOVE IT!!!

Any instruments you would love to learn how to use, that you don't?

BAGPIPES

Is there a funny story you would share with us?

YES.....I TORE MY BALL SACK OFF WHEN I WAS 6 YEARS OLD...BOUNCING UP & DOWN ON A COUCH WITH A BROKEN SPRING...ONE MONTH LATER.. AFTER IT ALL HEALED..IT HAPPENED AGAIN!!! MY JAPANESE DOCTOR SAID "YOU AGAIN!!" WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR PARENTS???!!!! WHEN IT ALL HEALED... I ENDED UP WITH AN UPSIDE DOWN CROSS SCAR.. ON MY NUT BAG...TRUE DESTINY TO SAY THE LEAST

If you could turn back the time and choose a new date to start a band, when would that be? And why this year/decade?

1955..WITH THIS HORRIBLE NOISE WE MAKE

What is your highlight of your careers as rock musicians?

TAKING A BASS LESSON WITH JACO PASTORIUS (WEATHER REPORT)...I SAW FIRST HAND THE FUTILITY OF TRYING TO BE "THE BEST"...HE WAS A FUCKING LOSER

Anyone you would love to meet, that you have not met yet?

I WOULD LIKE TO MEET BRIAN JOHNSON/ANGUS YOUNG
