3.  What are you 5 Best and Worst memories of Enuff Z’Nuff?
Oh man. These are weird questions, they take a lot of thinking.
5 best memories? That’s impossible to pin down; there’s just been so many great memories.
5 worst memories… Vikki Foxx, Derek Frigo. (Donnie and Jim Bob laugh) Um… no actually not those guys, I love them guys, just haven’t seen ‘em in a long time.
Well, a couple of things.  Our first manager, one of our worst memories.  Our second manager was our second worst memory…then Vikki Foxx and Derek Frigo…and, uhh, just about everything else I can remember.

4.  Do you think Vikki Foxx is one of those guys who thinks he’s too good to be in a band?
No he’s an opportunist, and he doesn’t…he’s business-minded as opposed to giving a shit about the musical integrity. I mean, obviously, he went for the bucks rather than to be starving artists with us. But some of the best artists in the history of the world have never even seen their money, so. We’ve made some great music together.

5.  Rate the following Beatles CDs on a scale of 1 to 10.  1 being an album that was lame, and 10 being a personal favorite, and don’t give them all 10s!
Hard Days Night = 10
Magical Mystery Tour = oh, fuck! 10!
White Album = give ‘em all 10’s dude, I can’t help it.
Let It Be =
Sgt. Pepper =
Please Please Me =
With The Beatles =
Abbey Road =
Help =
Rubber Soul =

6.  Who’s the most overrated band today?
Most overrated band today? Umm (long pause) uh, there’s so many of em. So many…uh, Limp Bizkit. No, CREED! Creed! Definitely Creed.

7.  What do you think about Metallica suing Napster?
Whatever. As if they don’t have enough money.

10.  What do you remember about either writing or recording the following songs?
How Are You = How Are You?  I remember writing that after splitting up with my long-time, 13 year girlfriend that I wrote a lot of ‘em about. It’s weird how I got hooked up with that chick, everything in my mind told me she was a no-good piece of shit and my heart wouldn’t let it go, you know? That was just a sad memory.
Radio = I remember that as a very fun time in my life. The band was just starting to get together, we were rehearsing a lot, playing out in the bars, and really a team, a gang, friends, you know. It was a good time.
New Thing = I remember knowing we had a good one there, but we never even played it because it was a little tough to sing live. So we never did New Thing when we first had it. We always knew it was our good one but for some reason we never played it live because it was work to sing. So we ended up….well, later on we knew that was going to be our first single.
Blue Island = Ummm…..wrote that really early. I wrote that before the 1st album, I think. My girlfriend before the last one I mentioned. Just a song about feelin’ bad, feeling bad about the things I’d done to her, and kind of getting a little sentiment about my home town, thought the name was pretty. People expect it to be a little bit different of a town than what the name. The name is much better than the place, you know.
Innocence = That was, uh…. we were mixing the Strength album, so when you’re mixing there’s a whole lot of time spent sitting around a lot on your thumbs you know, so, there’s always a piano….I do a lot of writing for the next album while we’re mixing the previous one. Sitting at the piano and we’re coming up with it, and I was joking around singing about this little girl, going “and your underpants are gone.” And it turned into Innocence.
Let It Go = Wrote it as a 7-Up commercial, and it turned into a song. Never sent it to 7-Up. 
Donnie sings: “Seven in, seven out, 7-Up.”
Stoned = I don’t remember writing it. (Donnie Laughs)
Wheels = Umm…oh what the fuck. Didn’t really have anything in mind. “Wheels”.  The word just kind of rolled off the tongue nicely. A lot of the songs were about singing about my life, and hopefully about some other people’s lives that could, you know….There’s Ricky.  That could kind of relate you know. Never sing too much about the good times, you know. 
(In walks Ricky Parent. He says, “How’s it going.” Shakes Jim-Bob’s dirty hand.)
(Donnie wants the bathroom.) Hang on one second, OK? 
Donnie ventures to the bathroom door and yells: Who’s in there?”
(Ricky peeks at the questions and asks: “What’s the next question?”) 
Someone asks Donnie if someone named Rich is in the bathroom: No, it’s Bon Jovi.
(Donnie comes back.) Next question.
Invisible = Wrote that at Steve Hagar’s house in New York. We were doing a High Times thing. A High Times party, birthday party or something. 
Yells towards the bathroom: Is that door opening right now?? Is Bon Jovi comin’ out??! FUCKIN’ Idiot! He’s the longest. He takes the longest. I gotta get in there so bad.
Save Me = Save Me. Oh, wrote that a long time ago. That’s around the Nirvana time. Was kind of just thinking, you know, might as well write something like that, you know. But we didn’t release it till way after, and then Kurt died, so we thought it would seem like we were cashing in so we saved it a couple of albums later and then we put in on. Sounded a little too Nirvana-y to me. It was just an attempt at writing a Nirvana song.
The Beast = My life story.
Every song you’ve asked so far I’ve wrote myself. Correction: except “New Thing.”
There Goes My Heart = Wrote that one too, though Chip’ll disagree but… There Goes My Heart.  Thinkin of the, it had that part, you know, it had that (Donnie sings the guitar riff). Wrote that at Steve Hagar’s too. It just, the days and the weeks and the month and stuff, I was just trying to think of something clever there. What can I say? Calls towards the bathroom: No, I’ll go after you.

11.  Are you happy with how Spitfire Records has handled you guys?
No. Well, I can’t say nothing. I’m not happy with the past efforts. I just don’t think that they care very much, you know. I, I…dude…you know what? It just seems to me that they don’t care. I mean, personally, everybody there, anybody I’ve met, personally, I like everybody individually and stuff like that. I just think, as a label, business-wise, I just don’t see anything to reflect on. I just think that they’re better records than what they’re selling. I think that they…I think for the caliber of records that they are, they should do better.
Jim-Bob: I looked for “10” last night. Couldn’t find it anywhere.
Perfect example. 
Jim-Bob: Best Buy, everywhere, couldn’t find it. Older albums are there, but..
Perfect example.

12.  If you could retract one lie you have told in your life, what would it be?
Ummm, one lie that I’ve told in my life that I could retract. 
Ricky: That you love me!
Oh! The one about when I didn’t turn a guy in, for uh, he got busted when I was younger, the guy stole, uh, he robbed an apartment, and the stuff was in my basement. I was helping him fence it. And when we got busted, I didn’t rat him out, and I should of, because I don’t even know him anymore. 
Yells toward bathroom door: C’mon Ricky! Hey Bro! 
Donnie says to Jim-Bob: Hold on one second, I’ll give you a better, I’ll give you a few more minutes.

16.  What singer sings out of key the most?
Not really any of them sing. I don’t listen too much to radio. All I know is I heard the new Aerosmith song and it kicks my ass.

17.  Of all the bands you guys played with, who treated you with the least amount of respect?
Def Leppard treated us with the most amount of respect. They were very cool were very cool with us.
Asks Ricky: Who fucked us the most?
Ricky Parent: Sebastian
Sebastian Bach. But we never had any respect for him anyway. Just as a fighter, I respect him physically ’cause he’d probably kick my ass. But other than that, nothing, no respect.

18.  Do you know if it’s true that Derek Frigo isn’t allowed in Chicago because of past drug debts?
Umm….I wouldn’t be surprised! But I don’t know if that’s true or not. I believe he comes to Chicago all the time to see his Dad. But I haven’t seen in him probably over 5 years. I haven’t even talked to him in 5 years. I heard he worked at Kinko’s Copies.

19.  This might be a laugh, but how much was your biggest music related paycheck for?
$137,000, and I had to give it all up to an attorney for the band. Right when I got my publishing check, the band needed a bankruptcy lawyer at the time. I would’ve had to get rid of anyway filing backruptcy. How do you file bankruptcy with $137,000 in your bank account, eh?

20.  Rate the following singers on a scale of 1 to 10.  1 being a hack and 10 being somebody you hail.
Stephen Pearcy = 1
Don Dokken = 5
Phil Lewis = I don’t even know who that is. 
Jim-Bob says: L.A. Guns.
Whatever.
Tom Keifer = He was ok. 5 or 6, 7. Depends on what song he’s singing.
Sebastian Bach = Sebastian Bach’s a good singer. I give him a, a, you know I can’t give them guys a 1 to 10. It’s either a 1, a 2 or a 3. You either suck, you’re OK or you’re great, and in that case, I give him a 2.
Freddie Mercury = 10
Paul Stanley = 7
Jon Bon Jovi = 7
Robin Zander = 10
Steven Tyler = 10
David Lee Roth = 10, no 8 ? , almost a 9.  For enthusiasm and vibe.
Kevin DuBrow = oh (makes a sound) 0, half a one.

21.  When was the last time you had an erection?
About 2 years. About 2 years ago.

22.  How many bridges have you burned this week?
None. No, ONE!!! Just one – ’cause you’re a JAGOFF for asking that question! There we go, there’s one bridge burned. (Donnie Laughs)
(Ricky laughs in the background)
I’m not the big bridge-burner my friend, despite what people might think. But, uhh none this week. I apologize, I didn’t mean that.
Jim-Bob: It’s nothing personal, it’s just Sludge.
I take everything personal though, you know.
Jim-Bob: I hate asking a questions like that. I can’t look at you and ask you erection. Come on!
Well, it has been awhile.
Jim-Bob: At least you didn’t say, ‘I got one right now!’
That last chick just really cleaned my clock, you know. Took a lot of faith out of me in that whole love thing. Just took my feelings away. I really prayed a lot that I would stop feeling things and then, sometimes you get what you wish for, and I haven’t had many feelings since.
(Donnie notices a zit on Jim-Bob’s temple.) Dude, you got a killer zit right there that I…I want to get that. Can I get it? Can I get it when we’re done?
Jim-Bob: Oh, dude, no!!
Come on, man, I love doing that.
Jim-Bob: I woke up like that.
I love poppin’ ‘em. Can I get it?
Jim-Bob: I tried before I left!
Dude, I can get that. Come on, let me pop it.
Jim-Bob: It wasn’t ready yet.
Dude, it’s ready.
Jim-Bob: It’s not ready!!
Ricky! Tell him I can fix that for him!
Jim Bob: I don’t want him to fix it.
(Ricky nods) Hell yeah dude! He’ll get it, too.
Come on, let me fix that for ya.
Jim-Bob: Oh, dude! I don’t have any tissue.
(Donnie Vie pop’s Jim-Bob’s nasty zit!!!)
Jim-Bob: Fuck!
Oh, and it wasn’t ready? Watch this. Tell me what’s that? That’s not ready?
(Shows Jim Bob’s pus to Ricky) Here. Eat that!
Ricky: yuck.
Look at that stuff! See how much pus there was there? And it’s gone now. Let me clean this off.
Jim-Bob: Thank you.
There, now there’s  just a little bit of blood. it’ll be gone  tomorrow.
Jim-Bob: You’re an amateur dermatologist!!
(Everybody laughs)
