Daddy Long Legs, the myth, the legend, the porn producer.
Yes, that’s right, the man you know and love from such classics
as the Bloodhound Gang’s Use Your Fingers and one of the master
minds behind the infamous Wolfpac is here in Empire. So in case you missed
the world’s best 7-11 employee in action on tour with his band Wolfpac,
here is your chance to catch up with da man.
Empire - Well, the first question I was going to ask you was,
what’s it like playing with Dope. But since they cancelled?
Daddy – Well ya know, I like their albums, I like the covers they
do. It’s great stuff like, “Fuck The Police”.
Empire – They just did “Rebel Yell” too.
Daddy – Na, really, The Billy Idol one? Last time I saw Billy Idol
he had dreadlocks and had the whole Vanilla Ice thing goin’ on.
It was really sad.
Empire – We are actually doing a Vanilla Ice interview tomorrow.
Daddy – Ask him all about us. We toured with him for about a month.
His band is great.
Empire – I know. Those two albums are great. Hard To Swallow
and Bi-Polar are just killin’.
Daddy – Aw yeah, dude! I like Bi-Polar. That was the stint we went
out on. We did all the New England states. He’s a great guy, too.
Humble as hell. You would expect to get all the rock star attitude. We
would sit down and hang out. Ya know we get like a bowl of Cheerios and
a pizza in our rider and he would get a whole deli tray. He would just
totally hook us up, which was totally cool. Cause we are poor and never
have money.

Empire – You guys had some bad luck with the Twiztid tour,
too.
Daddy – Yeah the whole thing got cancelled ‘cause Mono checked
himself in. I love those guys. They are great live, too. I think we’re
gonna head up to the Gathering to check it out.
Empire – Wolfpac is supposedly producing a DVD. Any hints
to what’s going on with that?
Daddy – We sent out a calling to our street team. We were like,
show your Wolfpac love, tell us what town your from and what credit you
want on the DVD and send us some stuff. First tape we get is a kid spray
painting cop cars and we’re like we can’t use that. How am
I suppose to use that with out blurring it out or something? And then
are we legally responsible.
Empire – So they were painting Wolfpac on the cars?
Daddy – Yeah, they had on the bandanas and pulled them down kinda
like, “Magic, magic ninja what?” And they were just spraying
cars and shit. I thought we would get some funny shit, but it just didn’t
work out.
Empire – Are you sure you don’t want a towel or something?
You’re bleeding all over.
Daddy – Na, no, you just let it bleed. Look at my hands. This is
from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I punched a bottle of Jager and broke it.
Then the bar tender comes up to me, at first I thought he was gonna yell
at me. But he start saying, “Ya want me ta put some stitches in
that?” All while he’s eating a chicken leg. I’m like
“Yea” so we go in the back and he’s putting stitches
in right there in the bar.
Ian from Mushcup joins us:
Ian – I have had Use Your Fingers forever!
But that record, and I’m not trying to disrespect, but making fun
of retards and shit!
Daddy – It was fun making that album and those guys are still friends
of mine.
Ian - What happened to the big dude?
Daddy - He’s doing bad, really bad. He’s up to like 500 some
pounds. We did a tour all the way down to Florida and back, he couldn’t
walk on the beach and is wearing braces on his legs.
Ian – I know he’s on the Stern thing.
Daddy – He’s on the Stern thing. It’s just that 500lbs
won’t work on tour. I just love him to death. He’s Wolfpac
family. When we do Philly he comes out with us, but physically, he’s
just not there. And to top it all off his mother ended up getting cancer
just after we came back. He’s a brother. You know the Fallen Brothers
in Arms thing? That’s what he is and he will be on the next record.
Ian – I’m all about it. I’m
that fat guy in our band, I’m the DJ. But I wanna be fatter, like
300 pounds, like some Fat Boys shit.
Daddy – I’m trying to get our guy fatter, too. I’m
all about getting lipo-suction on me and having it surgically implanted
on him, cause look at that (pulling up his shirt). That would be great,
that would be funny. We played the Milwaukee Metal Fest and we are like
rap, but metal and violent. Anyways, Tiny comes out dressed as a total
home boy, all G’ed out. And he’s the most metal mother of
all of us. He was all talking like, “Yo, yo, yo I’m a fat
motherfucker!” So he knows he’s fat and loves it and he got
a lot of pussy from it too.
Ian – One time we slept in the Burger King parking lot and got up
in the morning and I went inside, knowing these guys ride me for being
fat. So the lady was like do you want ham, bacon or sausage on your muffin,
and I said, “Yes”.
Daddy – Ahh, you guys ever eat at Bob Evans on the road? Tiny would
take sausage, wrap it in bacon and dip it in the sausage gravy. You could
hear him getting fatter.
Ian – I’ll let you get back to your
thing. Stick around and check us out. We’re playing last tonight.
Daddy - Oh definitely, I just got out of almost incarceration. So what
did happen to Dope?
Empire – They are stuck in Chicago. They had some problems
with vehicles.
Daddy – I’d be surprised if they show at the Gathering. Bands
that are not in, get booed at that.
Empire – Yeh, but they have toured with Zug Izland.
Daddy – But Zug is different. This is the Gathering, it’s
a big thing. We were actually told we were gonna do it. It sucks when
the bands don’t decide, the business decides for you. That’s
what it came down to, I believe. We love those guys and they give us shows
all the time. We did the Twiztid Philly show and Maine and Massachusetts
show. Twiztid is great. Jamie and Paul, I love ‘em. Then you have
Blaze.
Empire – Is it really the last performance?
Daddy – Yeah, or is it Colton Grundy next, you never know. How about
Majic Records, they are going to releasing all the H.O.K stuff?
Empire – Have you got to hear The Green Book?
Daddy – Not at all, not yet. My favorite album of all time from
the Psychopathic camp is Riddle Box. I love Riddle Box.
Empire – Was that the first thing you ever heard from them?
Daddy – Na, it’s kinda strange. When I was on tour with the
Bloodhound Gang, me and Jim would go to local records stores and pick
up tapes and demos. I got a Carnival of Carnage and I was like wow! This
is really good. So when I got home to Philly, I went to find out more
about them, but of course in Philly there was nothing. So one night we
are watching TV in the studio and a commercial for Riddle Box came on.
The very next day I picked up the album and I have been down ever since
then. When we were recording Something Wicked This Way Comes, we went
up to Detroit and talked to them about them releasing the album, but at
the time it just wasn’t in the cards. So it was cool and Megaforce
came along and we released it through them. As far as the new record,
we don’t even know when it will be finished, but I have three deals
on the table and we are not sure which we are gonna go with. So I work
for a few months to save up a bunch of money to go on the road. Then it’s
like I do all these things on the side. I do production and I also shoot
pornography. Yeh, for online site such as ErotictBPM (www.eroticbpm.com)
So I shot all this porn and that’s were we get all the strippers
from. Plus it’s straight easy cash. Then I have the money saved
up and half the shows get canceled, first we’re going here, then
we’re not.

Empire – It ends up hurting you in the long run, too. You
end up with shows that have only 40 or 50 people.
Daddy – Thing is with me, if I’ve got to do it one fan at
a time, I’m there. We do a thing called against the wall. It’s
this sterile room and we play the wall like it’s a crowd when we
rehearse. So if we play to a crowd of kids who get it but are just standing
there, we are still on. It’s like in Canada, the kids just stand
there, they just bob their heads, they don’t mosh or anything. Then
when you’re done they clap that little golf clap. Meanwhile your
thinking you are dying out there. But I guess they like us.
Empire – To wrap it all up, give us some great ending words
from the infamous Daddy Long Legs
Daddy – We do this all for the fans. That’s the only
reason we do it. We don’t get paid shit, anybody will tell ya. We
do this basically to have fun. I was in the Bloodhound Gang for a while,
and it started getting old, so I moved on to this. Come see our shows,
buy our album so Megaforce can make money and I don’t. I signed
P.D. deals so I can hold the rights to these things, I might as well have
the rights to a railroad in China, but I have fun and it beats working
9 to 5.
