20 QUESTIONS WITH…

Donnie Vie

Enuff Z’Nuff Singer Donnie Vie

Back in June we interviewed Chip Z’Nuff, and now we finally got Donnie.  It took a while, about 9 months, but we finally got him.  And just like we thought, Donnie was a little more vocal, or should we say “shit talking”, about various bands.  That’s cool, we’re down with that.   Donnie’s always been one to speak his mind, so read our 20 Questions and see what Donnie has to say and what bridges he burns.

1.  What is Enuff Z’Nuff currently up to?  (This is your only chance to plug your shit and all that type of stuff.)

DONNIE:  We are in the studio making a new album, and touring as usual. We are also on VH-1 on two shows, the Where are We Now one, and a Power Ballads show.

2.  A lot of people like Howard Stern and David Lettermen respect Enuff Z’Nuff and say you should be much more successful than you are.  Are you getting bitter or jaded that you haven’t had more success.

I’m really bitter and totally jaded. We know we are putting out great stuff, and yet anyone that swallows a microphone and howls gets more accolades.  With the exception of a few bands on the radio, quality has gone down the crapper. Maybe I’ll just shove a mike up my ass and let loose. That should be good for AT LEAST a platinum.

3.  Besides Enuff Z’Nuff, what current hard rock/heavy metal band should call it day and give it up?

Hey-Chip warned me about this one… What the Fuck do you mean give up?  We’re not going anywhere… just for that, we’re gonna put out another album next year, You jagoff!  As far as who REALLY should call it quits, Anything or anyone who is RATT related

I think a lot more about it now than in 1980. I don’t know why.

8.  Have you ever performed on stage when you weren?t drunk out of your mind, and when you are drunk on stage, how can you play the piano so flawlessly?
