Please tell me a little bit
history of the group?
-We
started back in 1990 as a
punk rock band, playing
house parties on weekends
and eventually started
playing in clubs and touring.
Our music evolved into a
much heavier style over the
past 25 years. Most people
would consider us closer to
the Hardcore style metal now.
Please tell me a little
about every member in the
group right now, age, family,
work, interests and
something bad about everyone?

I can hear both hardcore and
thrashmetal? Am I right?
Favorites from the past?
-Yes.
We all love Hatebreed,
Slayer, old Sepultura, and
Pantera, of course.
Pelvic Meatloaf are you
satisfied with the name? How
did it came up?? Which is
the best bandname you know?
-We
love the name Pelvic
Meatloaf because it doesn't
sound like all the other
typical band names out there.
Originally, it was just a
joke, but it stuck... Its
another term for a penis.
What´s the best thing with
playing live?
-I
love to feel the energy of
the audience while playing
our music very loud. I love
to see a violent, bloody
mosh pit.
And where is best to play?
And the worst place?
-I
have always loved playing in
our home town of Phoenix,
Arizona, because there are
alot of great bands here and
very loyal fans. The worst
place we ever played was a
club called AREA 51 in
Seattle, Washington. It was
horrible. Good thing nobody
showed up to see us play!
hahaha
How is to play this sort of
music in USA right now?
-Well,
metal is still very
underground in the states,
and doesn't get much radio
support. It would be much
easier to play hip hop or
country music, but fuck that
shit. No way.
How would you describe your
music in three words?
-Brutal
Fucking Metal
What does punk mean to you,
is it only a word or is it a
lifestyle?
-Its
a lifestyle. It means you
don't give a fuck what
people think, and you don't
conform to the mainstream.
How do you see on
downloading, mp3 and that
stuff?
-I
love it... makes it so much
easier to hear more music,
or get our music heard by
others.
How is it to live in USA now?
Politically?
-Too
many stupid laws, and too
many crooked politicians.
Is there any good bands from
USA now? Is the punkscene
big? The metalscene? How is
it in your hometown?
-Yes,
there are tons of good bands
in the USA! The punk scene
is not so big anymore, and
neither is the metal scene,
but that's ok with us. We
aren't wanting to be like
Justin Beiber with a million
stupid kids chasing us
around. Just a few naked
women, and we're happy.
What do you know about
Sweden?
-Not
much, but I've always wanted
to visit.
Have you heard any good
bands from Sweden?
-Offhand,
I don't know. I don't really
pay attention to where a
band is from. I just listen
to it if I like it.
Your lyrics, who does them
and what influences you?
-I
write the majority of the
lyrics, and my inspiration
usually comes from how I am
feeling at the momemnt.
Mostly when I am in a bad
mood and wanting to punch
someone.
Is there any subject that
you never will write
anything about?
-Love.
Politic and music, does it
goes hand in hand?
-It
seems that way. Personally,
I hate politics and
politicians. I get annoyed
when bands sing about how
they hate the government. If
you hate it so much, why not
do something about it other
than sing a song?
Best political band/artist?
-I
hate political bands. I
don't like metal to have a
message. I don't want to
think about anything other
than hitting someone when I
listen to it.
Do
you think that music(lyrics
and so on) can change
anyones life, I mean people
who listens to music?
-Yes.
Music changed my life. I'm
sure fans will be influenced
by their favorite bands too.
Your cover on your CD looks
really nice, is it important
to have a record cover which
shows people which type of
music you play? Your
favorite recordcover?
-I
like the cover of our new CD
also... it really expresses
the vibe of the album. My
favorite record covers have
always been the Iron Maiden
records though. They are the
best!
Is it important to get out
physical records of your
stuff? Why or why not?
-I
think its important to get
physical copies of our
records out to people
because sometimes having it
in your had is better than
just in your ipod.
How does your audience look
like? Which people do you
miss on your concerts? Which
is the biggest band you ever
have played together with?
-Our
audience ranges in age from
14 year olds, on up to 50
year olds, and we usually
have a pretty wild pit going
on while we play. We are
known for having alot of
energy onstage, even though
we are usually extremely
drunk. We love whisky, beer,
and metal. The biggest band
we've ever played with...
there's been so many. Maybe
Anthrax or Hatebreed... I
don't know.

Is it boring with interviews?
Is it much interviews??
-Not
boring at all... most
interviews are fun!
Sometimes its hard to find
time for them though.

bands from the past and the
history and nowadays and
both dead and living bands
to have a concert together
with your band. Which five
have you been chosed?
-Pantera,
Slayer, Lamb Of God,
Hatebreed, old Sepultura
Is music a good way to get
out frustration and become a
nice person outside the
music??
-Yes!
If it wasn't for music and
being able to get my
aggression out onstage, I'd
probably be in prison
because I have a really bad
temper.
Which is the most odd
question you ever have got
in an interview?
-"How big is your cock?"
Which is the question you
want to have but you never
get. Please ask it and
answer it?
-"Can
I give you a million dollars
please?"
Futureplans for the band?
-Hopefully
doing a European tour next
year, and making another
record. As long as people
still like our music, we'll
never quit.
For yourself?
-Get
in better shape.
Wisdomword?
-Do
what you want, for yourself,
and not because other people
say you have to.
Something to add?
-Nothing
I can think of
