Provocative,
funny and mysterious as usual. Here is again on The rock Explosion
pages the blonde Pink Snow, leader of the sexy band Erocktica, which
is going to conquer our Country with high testosterone level and
pure crazy shows! If it is true that we lost her traces for ages,
it is also true that we hadn't forgotten her. So as she called me
proposing her candidature as Rock Girl of the month, well
what
do you think? Could I refuse? So be ready for Erocktica earthquake
and begin training b y reading the following lines in which Bret
Michales "little sister" is going to invite you to partecipate
to her sexy live games! Cum' and feel the noize Exploders!
Hi Pink! It's been a long time we don't have
the chance to talk a bit. I remember you were planning a tour including
Italian dates and finally here you are! What can you tell us about
your recent shows in Italy in May? How did you find people's reactions
to them and which one has been the best in your opinion?
We did ten weeks on the last tour! Eight countries! It was a rock'n'roll
dream. To see the world and meet people playing music is my dream.
Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Switzerland,
and of course, Italy! Each country had its own unique people and
crazy rock crowds, but Italy was amazing! The rockers in Italy are
true die hard music lovers and appreciative of rock n roll! We were
in Italy two weeks, and had many good shows from the North to near
the South. I loved playing at the Transilvania clubs, especially
in Reggio Emilia and Civitanova Marche where there were a lot of
people that really got into the show, yelling, and screaming, dancing
and partying (the way it should be at a rock show!). I also loved
Buddha Club in Orzinuovi (Bs), because the stage and lights were
great and so was the staff, as well as a great audience!
Now let's talk soon about your last work
entitled "Porn Again". I won't ask you about the main
differences between the former EP "Pink Inside" and this
new album, because it's obvious that the band which was already
good then, has become even better today, but I'm questioning more
about the new songs. What can you tell us about them? Where did
you take the inspiration from and which one is your favourite and
why?
The new album has more great rock anthems such as "Naked",
"Size Queen" and "38D", and since it is our
first full length album we really packed in our favourites! It is
the climax of being on the road and seeing audience reactions put
to life in the songs people loved! The inspiration comes from our
fan's reactions, our lifestyle as a band, and the wild times we
have lived and live now in a sex and rock' n' roll ! Like a scene
out of an 80's metal video, or backstage at a KISS concert in '76,
or Poison in '86, when people wanted to live life to have fun and
be entertained. I am also inspired by my own personal sex life
I know that there's been some changing in
the line-up. Do you wanna introduce us the new drummer? Besides,
I know you've realized a video for the hit "Naked." Do
you wanna tell us something about that?
Our new drummer will be introduced to the world on the next European
tour! We search long and hard before we officially enter someone
new into the Erocktica family
The video for "Naked"
is not yet released
we are still editing. Rumour has it that
we may have it on the end of our first DVD as a bonus video!
Since you're going to return on Italian stages,
I can't help asking you if you've already prepared some new hot
gag for your upcoming European invasion. Would you mind to tell
us at least a bit about what should we expect to see? If you like
I can ask it praying on my knees (laughs).
Oh now baby, a girl never gives away her secrets! You'll have to
cum to the show and see what we have planned!
Pink, tours are often long and they tear
you playing in so many places! How do you keep your energies to
give always your best at every show every given night? I suppose
it's not easy to act on a stage till dawn and start it all over
again the next day!
It's very hard! To make sure that every night is great, I treat
each day new. It is important that every audience in every town
gets the best we have. Each day I exercise before a show. If I have
no access to a gym I go running. It gets my blood pumping. I drink
tons of water, and do vocal warm-ups. After all that I take a bubble
bath, listen to some of my favourite bands, and look in the mirror
and think to myself: "How lucky am I to be on tour and have
people come to see me perform?". Then I realize that I am a
rock star and get on the stage and give the best I have!
Now Pink, be ready for a freaky question:
you bring some erotic and pornographic hints in rock'n'roll fields
and undoubtedly your body and your sex appeal could help in rising
people attention to your band and your sound. But I dare say that
there are no such big differences between your charming figure and
the ones of male sex symbols like Bret Michaels or Sebastian Bach,
who besides their artistic qualities, have been also considered
really cute guys by lots of girls. What do you think about this
strange comparison? Do you share my point of view?
I agree! I think the hot guys you have mentioned are sex symbols
too! Maybe they don't take their clothes off like we do, but they
scream of sex! And Bret Michaels is very into fitness, like I am.
I am certified personal fitness trainer in the US. At times, people
have often called me "Bretta Michaels"! What a compliment!
He is so sexy and hard as a rock!
Thinkin' to the past I can't help mentioning
other ladies on the rock scene such as Lita Ford, Samantha Fox,
Joan Jett, Texas Terry, Wendy O. Williams, Exene Cervenka, Share
Pedersen, etc. Is there any female artist you've taken inspiration
from or that you esteem particularly? Why?
You just name a couple friends of mine, namely Share Pederson and
Texas Terri! You named my favourites! Also I take inspiration from
60's European film sex kittens, and the Goddess Marilyn Monroe's
softness and sexuality that balances with the hard rock edge!
When I interviewed you the first time you
told me, if I'm not wrong, that you would have liked to include
two covers on your next album which should have been "Naughty
Girls Need Love Too" by Samantha Fox and "Touch Myself"
by Divynils. But looking at "Porn Again" tracklist I can't
see these titles. Why did you decide to give up to them?
We have covered both! Live only, and they work out great! We decided
on our first album to do originals only, since we had so many to
choose from. We have also recorded a pop rock punk version of Kiss's
"Rock And Roll All Night", which is unreleased still,
but the future has a lot in store for Erocktica!
Recently I've been noticing a sort of improvement
in the state of health of the rock'n'roll scene almost everywhere
in the world. It seems that a new interest is rising in the new
generations. Is there a band today you think deserves attention
more than the others for some reasons? Which band would you like
to attract our readers attention on?
I listen to a lot of LA rock, and underground NY bands. I like Motochrist
and Beautiful Creatures, and from NY I love an underground band
called Banana Fish Zero.
Talking about reunions, what do you think
about the one of Twisted Sister and Dee Snider?
Hey, we love Twisted Sister, and even cover "I Wanna Rock"!
That's an anthem! So let them play!
Pink, I suppose you should know what P.M.R.C.
was. If I'm not wrong, this typical American phenomenon helped many
bands to reach high levels of fame, even though its purposes were
completely different. As a paradox, the more they censored some
bands and their music, the more those same bands sold out records!
It happened to the W.A.S.P. for example and to many other groups.
Today I think something similar is happening to Marilyn Manson.
In your case have you ever had problems with censorship? And in
this case, have there been more positive or more negative aspects
concerning your fame and career?
Censorship is wrong. As our website says: Erocktica's foundation
lies in the fundamental right of freedom of expression, and intolerance
of censorship. I love Marilyn Manson - I think he is talented and
creative. Art's censorship chips away at our freedom as individuals.
We had one horrible experience. We were to be booked New Year's
Eve at a famous hotel in Las Vegas and were cancelled right before
because the promoters were worried to be associated with us! On
the other side, we do enjoy lots of opportunities because we don't
censor, and that allows us to see the world touring with sex and
rock'n'roll!
Pink, let's talk now about a phenomenon which
is strictly linked to the rock world: groupies. There are lots of
websites in which some of them report the punctual description of
their sexual affairs with famous and infamous rockstars. What do
you think about these women and are you pro or against all this?
Are you serious? I think this is great! Groupies are a part of the
rock'n'roll lifestyle! I would like a few, each night, on tour-male
and female. I think groupies can be male too! Just ask the winners
of the Pink prize in Reggio Emilia! Let them shower the world with
sex, spread their stories, and enjoy the lifestyle that is rock'n'roll!
I am the biggest groupie that ever lived!
Pink do you have some rituals to help fortune
before going on stage? And please, a personal curiosity: can you
tell me where did you find that funny pink phallic soft toy I saw
in some pics of your live performances?
Rituals (besides my daily tour routine) include getting a back massage
from a band member so I can be as loose as possible, and drinking
2 shots of Jack Daniels when it's available! I sleep with my legs
wrapped around my big pink fur cock every night. It was a gift from
an admirer
Which has been the best and most exciting
moment you lived with Erocktica and which one has been instead the
worst?
The best was playing for over 3000 people at a festival in Holland,
walking down the street in Barcelona, and seeing my picture plastered
all over the street walls, and stepping off the plane in Italy for
the first time. The worst was being so exhausted on the road that
I lost my voice and 4 shows sick.
Now add names of male or female artists beside
the following adjectives and explain why did you choose just those
ones and not others:
The craziest: CC Deville (he's great
and he's out of his mind!)
The most polite: Paul Stanley (always
a gentleman)
The most tattooed: Joshua Todd (hot
and tattooed-yummy!)
The most idiot: I see the best in everyone.
The cutest: Kerri Kelli!
I know that generally at the end of every
interview you are used to promise a surprise to all the ones who
will mention it before or after one of your live shows. What are
you going to invent for all those ones who will come to you shouting
"I read your interview on The Rock Explosion"?
A free autographed postcard, or a kiss
they choose!
Thank you Pink, the interview is over now
and I hope to see you at Thunder Road in Codevilla on 19th November.
You maybe don't know it, but I've spent so many good times in that
place! See ya soon Pink and greet Italian fans as you like:
Can't wait to see old friends I met from our last trip to Italy
last May! Please bring your new friends with you because I am eager
to meet new friends too!
So kisses to all my Italian friends and fans, old and new! By the
way, I am looking for one special person to make me a bubble bath,
light candles, and pore me a glass of wine to relax on my night
off when I am in Italy. And I also want to get a ride in a fast
Italian car blasting some metal, so if anyone can come to one of
our shows with a hot rod I am ready to ride!
