adz
It's the Adz!


Why not read this Adz interview, or perhaps Splendid's reviews of Transmissions from the Planet Speedball and Odz 'n' Sodz. Then again, you could also buy Adz CDs at Insound.

YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN A CHANCE TO TRAVEL IN TIME TO THE YEAR 2025 TO SEE HOW THE WORLD WILL HAVE CHANGED. WHAT ARE YOU THE MOST CURIOUS ABOUT?

Bruce Duff: Do people still have bodies or are the just a head on a post placed in front of a computer screen?

IF YOU COULD HAVE ANYTHING IN THE WORLD COMPLETELY TO YOURSELF FOR ONE DAY -- AN OBJECT OR PLACE -- WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Bruce Duff: Salvador Dali's house in Spain, just like Michael Jackson does with Disneyland.

IF A MOVIE WAS MADE ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHERE WOULD IT BE SHELVED IN THE VIDEO STORE?

Bruce Duff: Foreign Films.

YOU'RE GUEST-HOSTING A NIGHT-TIME TALK SHOW FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY. WHO WOULD BE YOUR IDEAL GUESTS?

Bruce Duff: Dennis Miller, Sandra Bernhardt, and Howard Stern. That would be pretty easy, wouldn't have to do much on my end.

IF YOU JOINED THE CIRCUS, WHAT WOULD YOU DO THERE?

Bruce Duff: Sweep up the elephant shit, same as now.

WHAT PERSON -- FAMOUS OR NOT -- CAN YOU IMITATE BEST?

Bruce Duff: (Spinal Tap's) Nigel Tufnel.

IF YOU HAD TO EITHER WALK OR RUN TEN MILES EVERY DAY, WHERE WOULD YOU WANT TO DO IT?

Bruce Duff: The main stretch of walkway through Barcelona.

WHAT'S THE BEST SONG EVER WRITTEN?

Bruce Duff: "A Day in the Life" (Lennon/McCartney).

YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN A POTION THAT ALLOWS YOU TO BECOME INVISIBLE FOR EXACTLY ONE HOUR. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO FOR THAT HOUR?

Bruce Duff: Sit behind Jimmy Iovine's desk chair and listen to the bullshit.

YOU'VE JUST WRITTEN YOUR AUTOBIOGRAPHY. WHAT'S IT CALLED?

Bruce Duff: "So Many Ways to Go Wrong".

WHAT'S THE LONGEST YOU'VE EVER STOOD IN LINE? WHY'D YOU DO IT?

Bruce Duff: A couple of hours I think, probably for Stones tickets years ago.

IF YOU COULD HAVE 100 POUNDS OF ANYTHING (OTHER THAN MONEY), WHAT WOULD YOU WANT?

Bruce Duff: Vintage guitars.

WHAT THOUGHT OR SENTIMENT WOULD YOU LIKE TO PUT INTO ONE MILLION FORTUNE COOKIES?

Bruce Duff: "You'll marry your current lover and be happy." I actually got that once and was surprised by how direct it was. Didn't come true, though.

MICROSOFT OFFERS YOU $5 MILLION (US) TO USE ONE OF YOUR SONGS IN ALL WINDOWS MILLENNIUM ADVERTISING. DO YOU TAKE THE MONEY? WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT?

Bruce Duff: Yes. Invest in Microsoft.

WHAT ARTICLE OF CLOTHING SHOULD NEVER BE MADE OUT OF LEATHER, AND WHY?

Bruce Duff: Mattress tester and beer taster.

WHAT IS THE MOST THOUGHTFUL THING A VENUE HAS EVER DONE FOR YOU?

Bruce Duff: There was this place in Austria that had a huge apartment over the venue for us, tons of food and beer, and let all of our new friends from the gig hang with us all night. Not that big of a deal, but everyone really had a nice time. Clean towels always go far, too.

WHAT IS THE WORST WAY TO DIE?

Bruce Duff: Fire.

IF YOU COULD BE THE SPOKESPERSON FOR ANY PRODUCT ON THE MARKET, WHAT PRODUCT WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO REPRESENT?

Bruce Duff plays bass for the Adz -- who, as any real punk rock fan knows, were formed from the remnants of the Adolescents, one of the all-time great punk rock bands. When he's not working the four-string, Bruce holds down the promo fort at Triple X records.

-- George Zahora
