In a twist to the usual
interview format our very own Nikos
Mixas suggested THE
SLUDGELORD RORSCHACH TEST: there are no inkblots and we won’t
be subjecting bands to psychological profiling, rather we give photos that
relate to metal then ask the bands to give THE SLUDGELORD their thoughts and/or
your impression of every photo. There is no right or wrong
answers.
Today at THE SLUDGELORD we invite John
Hoffman formerly of Weekend
Nachos and now mastermind behind his ripping new project Ledge to take part, so check
out his answers below. “Cold
Hard Concrete” is streaming below and available to order here
1). Ex-BLACK SABBATH Drummer
BILL WARD On His Former Bandmates: 'It's
Plain To Me We're As Opposite And Opposing As Ever'
At first I thought this was
just some scumbag from the Sopranos. I think Bill Ward is basically saying
"We're a rock band, and we're friends, but we play music together. We're
not always going to be pals." I can relate to that!
2). Rigs of Doom artwork
ripped off by Metallica
Hmm, the colors are cool but
I don't really have any opinion on this whatsoever. Totally indifferent but I
love Metallica's first 6 albums!
3). Ledge – “Cold Hard Concrete”
It's the record I released
this year! I'm pretty happy with the way it came out, and the artwork is bold,
simple and brutal. If I weren't the main person behind this project, I'd
probably still be very interested in checking it out!
4). Quicksand Announce First Album in 22 Years
I knew that was Walter on the right. Quicksand is a
cool band but I never really got into them. I'm far too stupid and dense to
really sink my teeth into a band like Quicksand or Rival Schools. Excellent
stuff, though.
5). Ronnie James Dio Hologram Books First
World Tour Dates
Well, it's about time. I
have always preferred Ozzy-era Sabbath but Dio is so much more of a cool
metalhead. I take that back, actually. Ozzy in his prime is 100% the best. I
think I just get confused because Ozzy now is on TV wearing track pants and
mumbling gibberish at his Hot Topic children. Dio never sunk that low. R.I.P.
6). Chris Cornell passing
Fucking awful. I love Chris
Cornell's music. Well, I'm talking about Soundgarden. "Blow Up The Outside
World" was one of the first songs that made me realize other people hated
society besides me, I know the lyrics aren't really about that but just the
song title made it click in my head and I remember that moment in my childhood.
It was before I got into punk. Suicide is a tragedy. R.I.P.
7). Kid Rock Announces
Senate Run
Nothing surprises me
anymore. If only Joe C was still alive to be his assistant. Politics are a
fucking joke and you know this.
8). Gene Simmons Attempts
to Trademark "Metal Horns"
KISS was incredible but man,
fuck that guy and his bullshit views. He's a fucking asshole.
9). Bloodhag Vocalist Dumps
Coffee on Alex Jones
I thought that was Bill
Stevenson at first. I'm not good at recognizing anybody but regardless, I could
care less about this guy or his coffee. Doesn't seem like a nice thing to do to
somebody though.
10). Full Of Hell Creates
New T-shirt
Weekend Nachos and Full of Hell are
friends! That t-shirt was funny but honestly, we made much funnier shirts.
