Monoxide of Dark Lotus Photo By Eric Johnson Continued From Murder Dog vol.15 #2 Is the next Twiztid album still coming out this year? Shit, yeah, it is. We were just talking about it. It’s still called “Wickid.” And it’s crazy because we’ve got different people that want to get on this record, but we’re not putting anybody on it. It’s just gonna be me and Jamie. Obie Trice wants to get on it and Young Buck wants to get on it, but we’re like, “No, not on this one. Maybe next time!” I think we might do it on my solo record. That’ll be dope. When is your solo album coming out? By the next Gathering (2009). Not this one coming up, the next. Will it have a smoking theme again? It may. It may be called “Smoker’s Delight.” It might not. It might be called “The Chainsmoker Part 2.” I don’t know. That’s the plan, though. Why don’t you want guest rappers on “Wickid?” Because it seems like in the last two, three records, that’s all it’s been – me and Jamie with a bunch of other people. We just need to get back to what made us us – and that’s us. So we just want to do one like that – just me and him, nobody on it, no fam, no nothing, no No-bo-dy. What’s Jamie Madrox doing today? Jamie? He’s sleeping. That’s what he does. Right now, I can guarantee you he’s sleeping. I mean, what are you gonna do? Is Madrox working on another solo album too? Jamie’s one of them people that just has like 200 songs and he’s not sure what they are. He’s gotta go into the studio and sort shit out. And some will be Twiztid, some will be for him. It’s just a hodgepodge of stuff. The R.O.C. is signed to Hatchet House. What can you tell me about his album? I don’t know what he’s told you, but I can tell you that me and Jamie are extremely involved in his record. I was just with Bryan yesterday. And we’re supposed to sit down this week and sort everything out. I know it’s called “Digital Voodoo.” We’ll start working on that this week – his record and our record. It’s nuts. How are you and Jamie involved in R.O.C.’s album – producing and rapping? Yeah, we’ll be rapping on it. He does a lot of his own production, so we’ll kind of direct him and guide him. It’s his first national release like that. He just wants everything to be perfect. We’ll help him as much as we can. If we can give him any tips, pointers, whatever. If he needs me to shovel the snow, I can do that. How would you describe a Dark Lotus tour since you have one coming up? It’s like rock ’n’ roll times 10. It’s insane. It’s like eight buses, semis, fucking unbelievable amount of drugs. We just do the weed, but some other guys might be a little bit more rock ’n’ roll than us. We just smoke the weed. But it’s nuts, man. It’s whatever you want. It’s video games in the back of a bus, it’s fucking bitches and getting drunk. It’s whatever you want. It’s restaurants, it’s clubs, it’s strip clubs. That’s the beauty of the road. The show is easier for us because we’re only doing a quarter of the song each – as opposed to doing an entire hour or whatever, just me and my partner. An hour event is like 20 minutes of a Twiztid event. It’s nothing – that’s how we feel. It’s like, “It’s nothing. We could do this shit with our eyes closed.” So everybody gets to give 100 percent every single night. So it stays live. It’s cool. What’s that noise in the background? If you can hear that wind, it’s a tornado. It’s pretty close. I just wanted to warn you. But don’t worry – I’ll take you in the basement. You’ll be safe. Scout’s honor, you will be safe. I will tuck you beneath my legs and we will be fine. We’ll make it out of this together. That’s just how we do it. What else is new with Twiztid as far as maybe a “Purple Show, Vol. 2” DVD or something along those lines? We just still haven’t decided what we want to do. We have 25 sketches lined up, waiting to go, but Jamie don’t want to do “The Purple Show.” He’s like, “It’s wack. Fuck that shit.” We just gotta find the right thing. We’ve gotta do something. We’ve got people banging our fucking doors down for a DVD. So I don’t know. Definitely something. Don’t know what. Tell me about this year’s Gathering of the Juggalos. How will it be different than in past years? Boobs. Fuckin’ boobs, everywhere. No, it’s gonna be different because the place that we did it at, they know what to expect. They’ll be a lot more prepared. There’s no dirt. It’s all paved. That’s dope. And the word spread. It was massive last year. The place was cool, the people were cool, the whole thing was nice. Who came up with the album title “The Opaque Brotherhood” for the new Dark Lotus CD? We all came up with that, just sitting there trying to think of something. That was the one we all agreed on. It was between a couple different ones, but that was the one – opaque meaning impossible to see through and brotherhood meaning a hood of brothers. We just wanted to reinvent it from the ground up, man. I think people are gonna be like, “Whoa!” Any news on Samhein Witch Killaz or re-releasing more House Of Krazees albums on CD? Every day, it’s like the percentage chances of (SWK) happening get better. It’s slowly, but surely gonna happen. … We were talking about (releasing “Head Trauma” by HOK). I didn’t know that was never out on CD. Yeah, we were definitely talking about that. Any final comments for your fans? Yeah, we’ve got a toy coming out. Shit, yeah, we do. That’s in manufacturing right now. It should be out shortly. It’s an anatomically correct, fully pose-able toy. Jamie would be able to tell you better what kind of toy it is. He’s all douched out with that shit. “We’ve got a toy! Fuck, yeah, man!” I’m like, “Whatever.” He’s excited though. We’ve got that, we’ve got the Red Rocks show in May, we’ve got the Dark Lotus tour in June and July, then we’ve got the Gathering in August and then we go back out in September/October. It’s gonna be busy. And they want a Twiztid record by October.
