What is the difference between the High School Rockers and the Kidnappers other than a name change?
None!! We just got a little bit better but we still suck............
If Sergie Federov and his little brother would have kicked my ass what would you have done in my defense?
We would have flown over and would have stuck his hockey racket right up his ass.
I heard that Enrique Iglesias is really a homosexual he makes the public think he's banging Anna Kornikova by paying her lots of money. What comments do you have about a rumor like this?
I think Enrique isn't gay-he's lady killer. Have you seen this hot chick in his new video??? Enrique rocks!!! He's cooler than ever now that he doesn't have this ugly spot in his face anymore....Concerning Anna I think she needs attention at the moment and that's why she's telling all these lies......
Are foxy older woman more sexy than hot High School chicks?
A lot of High School chicks are cute but most of them are pretty stupid and have a bad taste of music ...older chicks got more style and are better to talk to and sometimes you even meet some with a good music taste....so we stick to the older chicks although we hardly ever meet one.
Older chicks are more likely to have their own money to spend. Do you consider that a plus? What do you think about chicks that make you spend all your money on them?
I never spend money for chicks.
What's your opinion on the message board geeks who got their panties in a bunch over you guys borrowing a riff from a Teengenrate song?
I don’t care. It’s a good promotion for us..it’s one of the most viewed topics on the board but I think they behave like little kids. The Garage scene is so small, so they shouldn’t behave like mainstream music lawyers….but I have to admit we ripped it off pretty hard. Anyway In the second pressing of the LP Teengenerate is given credit, so no one has to cry anymore.
If Teengenerate and the Real Kids got in a fight who do you think would win?
Definately Teengenerate because they have this Kamikaze attitude and they don’t use Heroin.
I've talked to your label boss at Alien Snatch, Daniel, on the phone and he seems like one crazy German rock-n-roll guy? Is my impression right?
Daniel has build up an Rock'n'Roll empire.He's living on the countryside in a big villa with a pool and all the farmer girls of his small village come over every night and have a big party at his place. There are rumors about sexual rituals with the goats and cows of his uncle....................
What's your favorite brand of American Whiskey?
Ballantines...but at the moment our favorite drink is FAKO that's half Fanta with half german Korn (liquor with 40 % alcohol) and ice. That tastes like Fanta but you get really really drunk after 3 of these! Try it!
We have Fanta over here in the states but it's comes in different flavors like Strawberry , Orange and Grape...
We have the same kinds of Fanta here, I never saw Strawberry here but we got Mandarine.
Ya ever gone to Oktoberfest and got totally ripped?
We've been there once. Me and my brother met these ultrahot chicks there and went into one of the big party tents. Unfortunately there were about 500 Nazis partying and we got beaten up pretty bad. I don't think that there's any place in the States where you get beer out of 1 litre glasses. The Oktoberfest proves that the Germans are the hardest drinkers in the world. In the 2 weeks of the Party they sell about one billion litres of beer.
You Germans eat a lot of meat, right?
Yeah, it’s true we eat a lot of meat because our meat is the best in the world.
Yesterday on the Food Network cable channel they dedicated the whole day to German cooking. They did a whole hour on sausage. There's like 100's of different kinds?!? How many different kinds do you have in your house right now?
At the moment I got nothing to eat at home at all . But my uncle is a butcher and he sends us a care package every month with about 30 different kinds.
You guys recently did some shows with the Zodiac Killers. Did you eat any sausage with Greg Lowery?
They only had vegetarian food at these shows..Greg told them to kill something the next time. Vegetarian food at shows always sucks.
The Kidnappers debut album
"Ransom Notes and Telephone Calls"
is available on Alien Snatch
Back to
Before they were known as the Kidnappers-these Germans were known as the High School Rockers. They wrote a song called
"I Love Anna Kournikova". I gave it massive airplay. Perhaps
too much. One night someone called me, claiming to be
Segie Federov and threatened me with physical abuse if
continued to promote the song in any form. The song was
so damn catchy and stupid though...I ignored the threats.
The Kidnappers may have matured somewhat since those days....
yet this interview with Beat-It (guitar/vocals) shows not by much...
