The Streetwalkin' Cheetahs' Frank Meyer takes his third crack at the POINTLESS QUESTIONS

streetwalkin' cheetahs
Yup. This is the same picture we used last time.


Read Splendid's review of Waiting for the Death of My Generation, visit The Streetwalkin' Cheetahs' website or buy their stuff at Insound.


What is your least favorite article of clothing, and why?

Frank Meyer: My underwear, because they cradle my nuts.

What's so funny about peace, love and understanding?

Frank Meyer: Nothing is funny about it. Violence is much funnier.

If you could remove 20cc's of fat from one part of your body and inject it into another, where would the fat come from/go to?

Frank Meyer: I'd just inject the fat from my beer gut into a glass and drink it back in!

What three essential accessories would be in your dream tour van/vehicle?

Frank Meyer: TV/VCR, music, built in bong.

Which is more frightening: a venue full of people who don't like your music, or a room full of two-year-olds? Why?

Frank Meyer: Neither one is scary. We always play to rooms full of people that hate us so that's that's no big deal, and most musicans act like two year olds, so playing to little kids would be no different than rehearsal.

Name three activities that would be more interesting/entertaining/enjoyable with the addition of monkeys.

Frank Meyer: Everything is entertaining with the addition of monkeys. Everything...

What's the best venue you've ever played? What's the worst? Why?

Frank Meyer: Best: 15th Street Tavern in Denver because the people who work there are so nice. Worst: Anywhere in the Carolinas (where we are right now).

What was the last thing you watched on television? How did you like it?

Frank Meyer: We only watch The Simpsons and love it.

Describe your dream vacation.

Frank Meyer: Hawaii on the beach with a mixed drink.

Does everyone need to own a computer? Why or why not?

Frank Meyer: Yes, because if you don't you're just missing the friggin' boat, man.

What activities (or whatever) are currently illegal, but in your opinion shouldn't be? What activities are legal, but should be outlawed?

Frank Meyer: Pot should be legal. Republicans should be illegal.

Who should be the leader of the free world?

Frank Meyer: Me.

You have an eight-hour trip to your next gig. You're not driving, and you're not sleepy. You have the option of reading a book, listening to an album, watching a movie or playing a video game. Which do you choose? And what is the book/album/movie/game in question?

Frank Meyer: I always listen to music. We usually throw on AC/DC, B Movie Rats, old Van Halen, Ramones, some soul, Miles...

What was the best live rock show you ever saw?

Frank Meyer: Every Iggy Pop show I've ever seen -- all three.

Scientists have suggested that trainspotting (the hobby of obsessively traveling rail lines, watching trains, cataloguing engine numbers, etc.) is a form of autism. What other so-called "hobbies" might actually be deep-seated psychological disorders?

Frank Meyer: Underwear-spotting...poo poo pants usually is bad sign.

You're in an elevator with Mariah Carey, Marilyn Manson and George W. Bush. The elevator becomes trapped between floors. What happens next?

Frank Meyer: I kill all three, climb up the elevator shaft, go home, drink a beer.

You've been given the opportunity to play -- all expenses paid -- in a foreign country that bands don't normally get to visit. You get to pick the country. Where do you go?

Frank Meyer: Morocco, baby!

What food item do you always eat, even though you shouldn't? And why shouldn't you be eating it?

Frank Meyer: I love tacos and eat them all the time. Mexican food in general is a vice. It can be fatty, so I know I shouldn't, but...

Why are frogs amusing?

Frank Meyer: 'Cause they burp and no one cares.

Your favorite broken-up band is going to reunite for one show only at the venue of your choice (yes, we know this is implausible. Who cares?). Who's the band, and what's the venue?

Frank Meyer: Van Halen with Diamond Dave at the fuckin' LA Forum, baby!

Is the Internet destroying the English language?

Frank Meyer: Naw, twas allreadie destroid.

Several US states have adopted "three strikes and you're out" laws, which basically mean that after you're found guilty of three felonies, you're imprisoned for life. How do you feel about that? Is it effective lawmaking, or needlessly harsh?

Frank Meyer: Don't get caught and you're okay.

In addition to being everyone's favorite rock-band-with-a-name-copped-from-an-Iggy-Pop-song, The Streetwalkin' Cheetahs are putting the finishing touches on a rarities, B-sides and live tracks album, Guitars, Guns and Gold, which will be released early next year.
