HORROR HOOTENANNY 13 Questions with JEANO ROID COFFINBERRY

THE HORROR HOOTENANY is days away!

Dr. Gangrene's 13 Questions rolls on..

Today's victim is JEANO ROID from THE CREEPING CRUDS!

Name and weapon of choice in the band:

Jeano Roid Coffinberry. That's my real name and I play horrific guitar in The Creeping Cruds.

Favorite movie monster?

Frankenstein, the Monster. He didn't ask to be ugly. I feel a kindred spirit..

Best horror movie you've seen recently?

Watched The Curse of Frankenstein the other night. Such a great flick.

Remakes: Yes or No?

Up til 83 or so (The Thing), yes. All those Hammer films were technically remakes. That's the best horror out there. But all these current remakes are simply shite. Evil Dead remake was a turd as were all the slashy 80's characters being redone in the past 20 years. Not fun, not entertaining. Just bad.

What bands inspired you to play music?

The Ramones, The Cramps, Alice Cooper, BOC, Turbonegro, Forbidden Dimension. You know, the good bands.

What do you like to do when not playing music? 

I make monsters and mess around with bulldogs. Friends are good too.

Munsters or Addams Family?

Both

Favorite song to play live?

Salem is a fun riff. And I'm sure people don't know what to make of it. It's just rock n roll y'know..

Favorite moment on stage/tour?

Always simply watching Handsome Jimmy. He is the most entertaining bass player in rock n roll.
That fuckin' goof.

Misfits, Ramones, or Cramps? 

Ramones, Cramps (close 2nd) then Misfits.

Pet peeves?

I hate when pets peeve on my carpet.

Favorite Halloween memory?

Way too many to narrow down to one. It's been a lifetime love affair. I do a yard haunt every year, which is featured on my Jeano Roid Flickr page. If you can figure out where I am you are invited to come check it out.

What would you like to have written on your tombstone when all is said and done? 

Put your ear to the ground. Thats me knocking?

Hoot 8 Interview Series - JEANO ROID of THE CREEPING CRUDS

Who the hell are ya and what is your job in the band?

Jeano Roid. Horror Rock visionary. Guitar bastard, song scribbler and general all around old dude.

What did you do musically before The Creeping Cruds 

All kinda shitty music. The Roidz, Death Turd, The Abusers, Bad Acid, Ruptured Nun The Mighty Shrill, Psycho Charger and of course The Jeano Roid Experience. 

What are your favorite/most influential bands?

Ramones, AC/DC, Turbonegro, The Forbidden Dimension, Zeke, X, old Supersuckers, old Alice Cooper and a long list of three chord Rock genius. For the most part all the music of today can suck it.

What are your favorite/most influential horror flicks?

The big three - Night of The Living Dead, The Evil Dead and Texas Chainsaw (originals - no sequels or remakes please). I love all Universal and Hammer Horror. Paul Naschy, Bava, 50's and 60's giant bugs, drive-in.  CGI can suck it!

What movie scared you the most?

By leaps and bounds... Black Sabbath. Specifically the segment call "A Drop of Water". Still scares me today! I challenge anyone to watch that one alone late at night. If you say it didn't scare you - you lie!

Most overrated Horror movie?

Wes Craven and Wes Craven. Biggest sellout phony in horror.

Who is the biggest celebrity you have ever met?

I've met and known a shitload of famous punkers and music people over the years. GG Allin, Rollins, Bad Brains, El Duce was my pal. I've met all the usual suspects in modern horror via the horror shows (Bruce Campbell, Foree, Moseley, Haig, Romero etc.) I sat next to Jimmy Carter on a plane one time. He introduced himself to every passenger, then fell asleep and drooled all over himself.

What Cruds song is your favorite to play live?

I like the fast stuff - so probably I Was a Teenage Werewolf... Come Out Neville is fun too. It's always fun when the crowd sings your stuff above the sound system. 

What is one cool thing the kids may not know about The Creeping Cruds?

Hmm.. For starters, none of us are Nashville natives. Our first band name was The Burnin' Rubbers! That lasted one day!
