20 QUESTIONS WITH…

Jamie Hunting

Union Bass Player Jamie Hunting

This week’s 20 Questions are, well, bizarre.  Very bizarre.  This is one of our more “fucked up” interviews, because at times it appears that Jamie Hunting is making absolutely no sense.  Maybe if you get really drunk or stoned, this 20 Questions might make more sense.  Anyways, proceed with caution!!!

1.  What are you currently up to?  This is your only chance to plug your albums, tours, websites, or other shit like that. 

I’ve moved to West Hollywood and am desperately trying to fit in at the rainbow. Been working on the Union project..on the road now. Some folks are trying to get a web site on me together. I’ve been very busy and haven’t had the time to get all the info together but I am working on getting my discography together–  records- videos—etc.. Just been working on the new place with my girlfriend being a homebody….oh I forgot to plug my ass. 

2.  Do you think anybody who is reading this has any idea who you are?

Maybe…nobody really knows anybody that well… you know? I’ve been mobbed ’cause twenty girls thought I was Vinnie Appice….I look like the guy in Aerosmith (which one?) Rolling Stones (all rolled into one….cute) Jim Morrison (oh my God) on anon anon…it really does not matter to me. Maybe it will in the future. Right now I’m somebody else somewhere else anyway.(who is that guy and who does he think he is anyhow???!!)

Feel confused now?

How is it that Jamie Hunting from Union has no idea who half the bass players are that we listed?  He doesn’t know who Jason Newstead is or Eric Brittingham or Jerry Dixon or Jeff Pilson or Dave Ellefson or even Dana Strum??  How is that possible?  Does this guy live in a closet?  Plus Jamie is going out with a porn star, but he doesn’t know who Jenna Jameson is?  And how is it he doesn’t remember if he was on “Love Line” or not?  We heard Jamie is kind of “different”, but we didn’t think he was clueless as well.

Well, if you aren’t totally frightened by Jamie’s 20 Questions and would like more info on him or Union, you can go to the Official Union website atwww.unionasylum.com.

In a month or so, we will be doing 20 Questions with Union drummer Brent Fitz, so hopefully Brent will make a little more sense.
