Mail-intervju - Ted Poley, Danger Danger What are you up to right now? RIGHT NOW IīM ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS! ONLY KIDDING....IN GENERAL, IīM VERY BUSY. I OWN MY OWN BUSINESS, BUYING AND SELLING ANTIQUES OF ALL TYPES AND ALSO COLLECTIBLE AND OLD TOYS AND IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND HAVE ANYTHING COOL TO SELL OR TRADE, CONTACT ME THROUGH MY WEBSITE! I FIND LOTS OF GREAT OLD THINGS IN EUROPE! THERE ARE SOME GREAT OLD TOYS STILL SITTING IN THE ATTICS OF EUROPE AND THE USA, SO STOP READING THIS IMMEDIATELY AND GO TAKE A LOOK! IF YOU FIND SOMETHING COOL AND OLD, LET ME KNOW AND THEN FINISH THIS INTERVIEW. IF THAT IS NOT ENOUGH, NOW THAT I HAVE TO STAY IN SHAPE FOR D2 TOURING. THE D2 SONGS ARE ALL VERY HARD TO SING, THERE ARE ALOT OF HIGH NOTES AND NOT ALOT OF TIME TO BREATHE. I WORK OUT VOCALY FOR AN HOUR A DAY (7 DAYS A WEEK, NO EXCEPTIONS) AND PHYSICAL WORKOUT 5 DAYS A WEEK. I HAVE NO TIME OFF EVER. Youīve just reunited with D2. How did that happen? THEY BRIBED ME WITH PROMISES OF LOTS OF MONEY! AND I LOVE AND MISS MY FANS. ITS BEEN LOTS OF FUN SO FAR. What was the reason for you to leave D2? I WAR FIRED. BUT THAT IS IN THE PAST AND I AM BACK NOW STRONGER THAN EVER. How is your relationship with Steve West and Bruno Ravel today? GREAT, I MISSED THEM BOTH AND NOW WE ARE BROTHERS IN ROCK AGAIN. ITīS MUCH NICER THIS WAY. WE ARE CLOSE FRIENDS WHO HAVE ALL BEEN THROUGH ALOT AND GROWN UP ALOT TOO. You played Sweden Rock Festival a couple of months ago. What was that like? INCREDIBLE. SO MUCH FUN, HUGE SHOW AND THE FANS AND OTHER BANDS WERE GREAT. I WOULD PLAY IT EVERY YEAR IF WE COULD. I LOVE SWEDEN.  Your first visit in Sweden? YES, IT WAS GREAT. BUT THE FOOD WAS A BIT EXPENSIVE AT OUR HOTEL.OTHERWISE, FANTASTIC PLACE... I WILL MOVE THERE IF SOMEONE HAS SOME EXTRA ROOM FOR ME AND MY WIFE AND CATS AND DOG... CAN WE STAY WITH YOU? I WILL GO PACK MY THINGS NOW. When can we expect to see you in Sweden again? I DONīT KNOW BUT I HOPE VERY SOON! What band have been the most fun to tour with? KISS And worst? NO WORST. STAYING HOME AND NOT TOURING IS THE WORST. I WOULD PLAY WITH ANYONE TO GET OUT ON THE ROAD. Name the 3 highlights and the 3 low points of your music career? HIGHLIGHTS WOULD BE THE KISS TOURS, MY WORK FOR SEGA WRITING AND SINGING SONIC THE HEDGEHOG GAMES MUSIC, AND I WILL RESERVE THE LAST ONE, HOPEFULLY STILL TO COME! THE LOWPOINTS WOULD BE GETTING FIRED FROM D2 AND DOING THIS INTERVIEW FOR YOU (ONLY KIDDING!) :) Paul Laine replaced you as the singer in D2? What are your thoughts on his work in the band? I DONīT KNOW PAUL BUT HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY NICE WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT ME IN INTERVIEWS SO I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT I THINK HE IS A CLASSY AND VERY NICE GUY. AND OF COURSE, HE IS A REALLY GREAT SINGER. OBVIOUSLY I AM NOT A REALLY BIG FAN OF HIS WORK WITH D2 BUT HIS SOLO STUFF IS REALLY TOP NOTCH! I WISH HIM THE VERY BEST OF LUCK WITH ANYTHING HE DOES. Are D2 planning to record a new studio album? NOT AT THIS TIME, WE ARE IN THE BEGINNING STAGES OF A WORLD TOUR AND THAT WILL BE ENOUGH WORK FOR NOW.  Will you continue to record solo material?
YES, I HAVE A SOLO CD IN THE WORKS AS WELL AS MY WORK ON CHARLIE CALVS "PLEASURE DOME" PROJECT. Was there anybody in your personal life who influenced you or acted as your mentor in the music area? MY LATE AUNTIE JEANNIE, SHE WAS A FAMOUS ENTERTAINER SINGER AND PIANO PLAYER AND SONGWRITER IN THE 1930'S / 40'S. SHE HAS MORE SONGS PUBLISHED THROUGH ASCAP THAN I DO! SHE PASSED AWAY A LONG TIME AGO BUT I THINK SHE WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEE ME DO MY THING. Which song, of all your albums, stand out as your personal favorite? "DEEP INSIDE" FROM BONEMACHINES DIS INC CD. ITīS THE FAVOURITE SONG THAT I HAVE SUNG...OTHERWISE SOME OF BEST LYRICS OVERALL ARE ON THE "BIG" CD, AVAILABLE ON MY WEBSITE. GO BUY IT NOW. I WILL WAIT. Tell us something nobody knows but only because they havent asked you yet. Something you've always wondered why interviewers never ask. MY PENIS IS EXTREMELY LARGE. I MAKE TOMMY LEES DICK LOOK LIKE A TINY TOOTHPICK. ITīS SO FUCKING HUGE THAT I HAVE TO HAVE ALL OF PANTS SPECIALLY ALTERRED BY EXPERT SEAMSTRESSES JUST TO ALLOW FOR ALL OF THE EXTRA ROOM I NEED FOR MY HUGE GARGANTUAN PENIS...I WAS ORIGINALLY GOING TO BE A PORN STAR BUT MY DICK WAS JUST TOO BIG THEY COULDNīT FIT IT ALL ON THE SCREEN SO IT DIDNīT WORK OUT.....NOW YOU KNOW WHY THE INTERVIEWERS NEVER ASK.........BECAUSE I AM FULL OF SHIT! EXCEPT FOR THE PART ABOUT "I LOVE MY FANS" AND "I THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT!". THAT PART IS TRUE. Danger Danger - Official website Ted Poley - Official website
