MARK 'BAM BAM' McCONNELL
HEY FREAKS! I got to meet Bam back in May when Baz did his little mini tour of seven shows on the east coast. He agreed to do a Spit Seven interview and while it took him a looooooooong time it was worth the wait! Bam Bam kicks ass on the drums and is an amazing person. Please check out his site, BamBamWeb - after you read the interview!
1) What are you currently up to?
Playing with quite a few bands. The Comatones, Future Urban Zoo, and
SledgeHammer. Been preparing for a possible tour with Trans Siberian
Orchestra. Working on my hot rod Chevy van. Scuba diving, shrimping,
scalloping, fishing, anything in the water.
2) Your Musical Taste:
What is in your CD player right now?
A CD of a band I was in YAMUTHA
What was the first concert you ever attended?
Grand Funk Railroad
Who was your biggest influence?
All great drummers
paul crook & bam bam
3) What do you like to do when you are alone?
Veg on the couch with the TV. Work out. Detail my van. Play Drums
till I'm soaking wet. Go to the river, and springs. Walk around naked.
4) If you were the first ever "president god"
what would you outlaw and why?
I would outlaw racism, and hate. I would make a law that you die from
the same way you killed someone, but slower, and by a relative of the
victim. I would outlaw morons working in nursing homes. I would make a
law that if you rape, you get castrated 1/2 inch every 12 hours. I would
outlaw not loving.
5) If you could be anyone other than yourself -whether
they be dead, alive, fictitious, it doesnt matter- who would you be and
why?
I like being me
6) Tell us ONE thing that is either embarrassing
or little known about yourself.
My penis is too large for my body
7) Rant. Here at Spouzic we love hearing people
complain and we love free speech so Question 7 is not really a question
but rather an opportunity for you to complain, whine or bitch about anything
on your mind. Go for it!
I'm fucking tired of hearing these whiny ass bands whine about BS. Go
live in Siberia, and then tell me how bad your pathetic spoon fed life
is. You are spoiled little sissies, who have no idea about real life.
Maybe your Mom and Dad can fly you somewhere in Europe, or downtown Detroit
where there are 10 year old kids who have nothing for lunch, much less
dinner, and can't sleep at night because of gunfire. You bands make me
sick, with your BS lyrics. Yeah, it might sound cool, but do you even
know what the fuck you're saying? I doubt it.
