Frank Green Interview from 2003
I was glad to do 20 Questions with Frank Green. There have been some questions about what is going on with Outspoken and he was happy to clear things up.
1. What is going on with Frank Green and the rest of Outspoken ?
well as of right now there's not much of anything going on with outspoken career wise…we were pulled off tour a while back because the record wasn't selling like nuts…labels have a very low attention span…and if we don't sell lots of records then we don't tour. its that simple…screw it. it ain't all its cracked up to be. I'm working a day job these days with shaun…kevin is out on the road with tantric…donnie is working a full time job and trying to get through a tough time he's having. and david…well I have no idea what david's doing. I hope he's well. I hope he's making some good choices for his own well being these days. this band has had some pretty screwed up moments that have led to us all pretty much sit back and re-evaluate what we want. and how we want it.
2. What inspired you to play bass and who were your first influences ?
I'm not sure if I was inspired to play bass by any one thing. it just felt so much more comfortable in my hands than a guitar. and I realized almost instantly that it was where I was supposed to be. my influences are really varied. gene simmons, justin chancellor, tom peterrson of cheap trick is an absolute god. eric avery of janes addiction is probably someone I actually sometimes think about when I'm playing. in terms of his simplicity and foundation theres no one I'd rather be in line with. but I'd say that cliff burton was someone who's playing hit me like a mack truck when I was in high school. I spent every available moment learning "anesthesia(pulling teeth)" and "orion"…the solo he does at the end of "orion" is probably a piece of music I would put in time capsule for people 300 years from now to hear.
3. What has been the highest point since joining Outspoken and what has been the lowest ?
the high point would be having our record release party at ear x-tacy and having it absolutely packed with our friends…it was a magical night for me. low point? I would say sitting in a hotel room in austin, texas and getting the news we were coming home. period. it was like someone sucked the breath out of that room. the next night playing in san antonio was the most emotional I've ever seen the band. david was in hysterics. I was in tears. everyone was floored. like a giant corporate kick in the nuts.
4. What has been to coolest show you have played and what made it so special ?
we've played a whole lot of cool shows…probably the coolest one for me was playing the experience music project in seattle…first off it was like playing the grammys…huge stage. giant digital screen behind the stage…it was packed as hell…double drive and second coming opened…we saw a lot of friends we made while recording in seattle…but the kicker was getting a tour of the hendrix portion of the project. I'm a major hendrix fan…and to literally touch one of JIMI HENDRIX'S strats is something I will cherish forever. I saw his monterey strat remnants. all his pedals. some of his hand written lyrics…his clothes…it moved me to tears. that room was adjacent to where we played and it moved me to know that vibrations I would be making in the next room would resonate through jimi's guitars.
5. What is the most money you ever made for a single show while you were with Whatever Will and what is the most money for a single show that you have made with Outspoken ?
well we made some decent money in WEW..nothing that I'd brag about. and as far as outspoken is concerned, because we operate as a business we never see money from shows. its used to pay bills such as lawyers, accountants and business managers. leeches.
6. Who are some of the famous people you have met ? Who was cool and who was not so cool ?
um lets see. scott mckenzie and I met eddie vedder and mike mccreedy…dave ellefson of megadeth was on our tour bus one morning in tempe…I woke up and went "wait a minute…wait a minute…hey kevin is that…" he just smiled…he's shorter than I thought. met jared leto at a show. he was nice even though I don't really dig his band. I was like "man he's bangin cameron diaz".
7. Time for the mandatory "reality show" scenario. You are chosen to be on a new reality show. You will be on a tropical island for 90 days. You may leave anytime, but you only receive the shows grand prize of 100 grand if you stay for the full 90 days. You will need some people to go with you. The people you choose to go with you will be paid well and several people want to go. You choose who is going with you...
1.) Scott Mckenzie -oh yeah
2.) Kevin McCreery -oh hell yeah
3.) Travis Meeks -although I have nothing against the guy I gotta leave him off
4.) Jessica from Tornacade -nope
5.) Scott Clark -man that’s a toss up…I love him like a brother but sometimes I wanna beat the hell outta him.
6.) Rachel Enriquez -can she cook? if so yes. if not then I guess not.
7.) Rahul Borkar -nah, he's asthmatic and truthfully could be a member of a sleeper cell…so I opt out on hoopa.
8.) Tom Petty -yes because of his integrity. but no because he's so goddamn annoying. ok no
9.) Devohn Moore 322 la salle place Algonquin Parkway -that guy rules but I have a no algonquin policy.
10.) Scott Frazier -oh god you're killing me. no.
9. Rate the following women on a scale of 1 to 10. 1 being the lowest, 10 being the highest.
1.) Gwen Stefani -9…classy broad if you ask me
2.) Jewel -6…natural chick. she thinks she's a poet so she should get a black eye for that…she's got that snaggletooth happening too…
3.) Rachel Enriquez -one of the local chicks ehh? I'd give her a 7 or 8…never met her but know who she is…she is good friends with donnie hardin and I know him from way back.
4.) Aria Giovanni -hello. uh like 11.
5.) Kris 502 -oh man she's jail bait. its illegal for me to even consider rating her. although she's cool and has a great sense of humor I must refrain from a federal probe.
6.) Paz Lenchantin -she's actually pretty hideous close up. and she's not a terribly talented woman. so I say 4.
7.) Britney Spears - a 7 when she shuts up…but when she gets that dixie highway mouth yappin I wanna chop her head off. then throw it off the greenwood boat docks.
8.) Jessica from Tornacade -I dunno. I've never gotten a good look at her. so I'll say 6.
9.) Devon -6…not my type…not into the whole barbie on amphetamines thing
10.) Kimmet -8…shes a great woman…talented. very nice. and shes got that new yawk accent.
10. What band would you like to play bass with for one tour ?
I would do anything humanly possible to play with janes addiction. I would die totally happy. even if it was just one song it would make my life complete.
11. I will list some bands and artists and you rate them on a scale of 1 to 10. 1 being the lowest, 10 being the highest.
1.) Metallica -8…their bad period is not enough to make me dump on them…they put fire in my brain.
2.) Red Hot Chili Peppers - 6..it gets old REEEEEALLY quick.
3.) A Perfect Circle -7. I like the idea more than I like the end results…but its great shit.
4.) Prince -3..I guess growing up fat, white and liking ozzy kept me from truly enjoying the ass-less pants midget himself.
5.) LIVE -5..played some shows with them and realized that I like them more when I hear them on the radio.
6.) Alice In Chains -7…damn shame. great live band. I burned some old demos when we recorded at london bridge in seattle…they are hilarious…like a bad cock rock band…
7.) KISS -7…they made me wanna play rock music…so they will always get a high mark from this guy.
8.) RUSH -4…I guess I never got it. maybe it was geddy lee's nose…man, keep the coke away from that witchy motherfucker…that mans nose is so big he could smoke a cigar in the shower…
9.) TOOL -10…saw tool about 3947 times on the lateralus tour…even left a photo shoot for our album early so I could fly home to drive to richmond virginia to see them…they are as magical a band as we have today…they are just perfect.
10.) Saliva -heh…4
12. Who has been the biggest influence on you as a person ?
I would say the members of my family…I get one aspect of myself from one person then another form someone else…I think it was a group effort…having said that I hold no one responsible for all the screwed up things I've ever done or been a part of. I've made some pretty bad choices for myself…but have found strength in what I learned growing up.
13. I will list some controversial people in the 502 scene and you give your thought...
1.) Travis Meeks - an unbelievably talented guy. but someone I think may have burned his last bridges on a professional level…but damn is he driven.
2.) Jack Brezadine -great guy. old friend. terribly unstable sometimes. love the guy though.
3.) Scott Fraizer -haven't heard a peep out of him in almost two months. its frustrating when you call someone for information and they talk about their accomplishments instead of business. he didn't come to our last two gigs. I stopped calling. he stopped calling. I guess we'll see…
4.) Mark Maxwell -likes to talk. can pretty much back up what he says though. he's a business man.
5.) Hugo Ferraria -I'm not very good friends with hugo. kevin is pretty close with him…I will say that he is really helping us out with some demo's were doing…great knack for melody. and damn this new music is stupid.
6.) Nick Haas -heh…this may have been a shaun question. but nick likes to talk too…sometimes its alarming…like holy shit this guy is really blazing. then you see him a year later and he never utters a sound.
7.) Dave Fraizer -spent a lot of time, tears and patience with and on david. one of the most naturally talented people I've ever met. but like most of the talented ones, he has this opposite side. which is purely destructive to himself and things around him. I love the man like a brother. and hope he never crosses that line…but I fear that I'll get a call one day and it will be to tell me that david is dead. we haven't seen much of each other in months. a few rehearsals. a few gigs. he was late to our gig with saliva…45 late to soundcheck. like I said, I love the guy but sometimes for the sake of yourself you have to walk away from situations in your life that cause you pain. I hope he takes care of himself.
8.) Jon Paris -you mean jon delph? never cared for him…he's been shitty to many friends of mine and his songs were terrible…next
9.) Chuck Willis -people say he's arrogant. I don't see it because I rarely go see them. he's always been level headed and normal around me so…I wish he would develop more of his own personality in his singing voice…if that happened he would be an unstoppable frontman.
10.) Chris Volz -talented man who is, in my opinion, battling things most of us can't even fathom. I'll leave it at that.
11.) Bobby Burns -I've known of bobby for 10 years…he played in a band called breath with tommy thomas, bobby o(magnetic flux) and dave hoback…last time I saw them they did a show at the tiger I believe and he and bobby o were wearing these long skirts…it was a riot. sorry bobby…I said I would keep that hush hush…but he's been at it a long time…and has always been super nice to me.
12.) Susan Weber -great person for the scene…she gets great satisfaction helping bands in certain aspects and phases of their career…
14. Outspoken becomes hugely successful and someone is writing a tell-all book about the band. They are interviewing all the people that know you way too well. Who do you really hope keeps their mouth shut ? Who has the most dirt on you ?
I'm gonna say scott mckenzie and shaun kennedy have pretty much all the dirt on me that I need swept under the rug…but then again I have the same leverage with them so they better watch their punk ass mouths.
15. You recently bought a new bass guitar. Would you give us a run-down of your guitars and other equipment that you are proud to own ?
well I've been a fender man for about 10 years now…it just feels perfect in my hands…having said that I will also say that 80% of the fender basses I pick up are trash. absolute trash. the quality control is on crack. but I've really focused my collection down to a few pieces these days. fender 57 p bass reissue…it’s the bass I recorded our whole album on…rick parashar said he had never recorded a bass that was so rich and musical…and considering his past it almost made me cry…fender Sting signature bass…basically the 51 reissue in a better color…so old fashioned…but so sweet…I have an esp p bass from way back…that belonged to a friend or two who lived in L.A. and somehow made it back to my hands…and some various junk guitars and an acoustic. amp wise its all ampeg…I have an svt 2, svt 4, and 4 prhlf410 cabinets…it’s a lot of power. it really rattles my brain and loosens my sphincter when its all set up and blowing…
18. Last of Frank Green...
1.) Last famous person you've talked to ? I guess josey scott…
2.) Last good movie you have seen ? confessions of a dangerous mind…what a great movie
3.) Last really fun show you have played ? probably would be blowing live off the stage at the murat egyptian room in indianapolis back in july…they were not happy.
4.) Last time you were on a tour bus ? on saliva's last month…on mine in april…ok now I'm mad.
5.) Last time you signed an autograph ? at a five star store in bullitt county last month. I was doing a clown show and magic act.
19. If you got to host a local show similar to Punk'd, who would you most like to punk and what would you do ?
A. Nicci Green-man, she'd be doing the punking…I can never seem to pull the wool over her eyes…she keeps me in line too…so shes out.
B. Andrew Kauz-he's an oildriller…but one hell of a nice guy who has been a great friend to me. even though we’ve only met twice and he lived in new mexico he really went way out of his way to help outspoken…he's too cool…so I say nay.
C.) Billy Walker-that jackass is made to be punk'd…but I will say that he and his milf wife saved my ass after I was driving him home from doing underground lou and my car broke down…then when his wife showed up she shut the car off and then theirs wouldn't start either…I think I was possessed. but they were generous so I say no again.
D.) Jason Schneider-ok I would have to say yes to jay…he's so funny that he would understand…our time in bands together was one constant punk'd episode. I wish I could say half of the stuff that has happened to us but goddammit I can't.
20. What is the most you have learned about the music business since joining Outspoken ?
I learned it’s a bullshit business full of bullshit people. I have learned to trust no one. they don't deserve it. it's a castle built on a fault line. it’s a beautiful vision built on shit. I'm sure oz was much more enchanting before dorothy knew about the man behind the curtain. same here…I wish I could forget the things I've seen and endured…although I wouldn't change it, I would never do it the same.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's recap...
Frank Green was a tour bus as recently as last month, the one Saliva was on when they came to town.
Admitted that the band "LIVE" is not that good "Live".
Thinks that Aria Giovanni is a hot, hot chick, (she is a model and she is marrying the guitarist for Marilyn Manson soon. )
Has reservations about spending an extended period of time with Scott Clark or Tom Petty.
Some of Frank's answers were longer than a Donnie Highland or Nick Haas phone call, but very interesting and worth the time. I give him 4 out of 5 stars. I didn't think my questions were as good as they could have been, so maybe he deserves 5 stars for making the best of the questions he was given. I definitely want to do another 20 questions with him in the future. He gets 4 stars. I got more responses from Frank's 20 Questions than anyone else so far, so I am changing his ranking to 5 stars !!!
Thanks Frank ! GO RAIDERS !
I give Frank 5 out of 5 stars for his 20 Question interview. êêêêê

20. What is the most you have learned about the music business since joining Outspoken ?
I learned it’s a bullshit business full of bullshit people. I have learned to trust no one. they don't deserve it. it's a castle built on a fault line. it’s a beautiful vision built on shit. I'm sure oz was much more enchanting before dorothy knew about the man behind the curtain. same here…I wish I could forget the things I've seen and endured…although I wouldn't change it, I would never do it the same.

Let's recap...
Frank Green was a tour bus as recently as last month, the one Saliva was on when they came to town.
Admitted that the band "LIVE" is not that good "Live".
Thinks that Aria Giovanni is a hot, hot chick, (she is a model and she is marrying the guitarist for Marilyn Manson soon. )
Has reservations about spending an extended period of time with Scott Clark or Tom Petty.
Some of Frank's answers were longer than a Donnie Highland or Nick Haas phone call, but very interesting and worth the time. I give him 4 out of 5 stars. I didn't think my questions were as good as they could have been, so maybe he deserves 5 stars for making the best of the questions he was given. I definitely want to do another 20 questions with him in the future. He gets 4 stars. I got more responses from Frank's 20 Questions than anyone else so far, so I am changing his ranking to 5 stars !!!
Thanks Frank ! GO RAIDERS !
I give Frank 5 out of 5 stars for his 20 Question interview. êêêêê
