| Danzig
Vs Kennedy |
Blabbermouth reports: DANZIG frontman and
namesake recently spoke to ex-HADES guitarist Dan Lorenzo for a feature
in an upcoming issue of Steppin' Out magazine.
Dan Lorenzo: So what did you think
of the Iraqi election? Did that make the war worthwhile?
Glenn Danzig: "My view on war is, if you're
going to have a war, you should kill everyone there."
Dan Lorenzo: So you wouldn't worry about
collateral damage?
Glenn Danzig: "It's a war idiot! (laughs)
You know what I mean? You're talking about war, like it's a game. It's
not a game it's war! These people that are shooting back at you, they're
trying to kill you and you should be trying to kill them. If there was
somebody wounded and laying there I would put a bullet in them you know?
It's war, it's not a game. I see all these politicians like Ted Kennedy
who's a murderer in his own right, talking all this s***-your sending people
out there to fight a war...this is a war! Either we're going or we're not
going. Once we're there don't complain when somebody kills somebody because
yopu sent them with a gun." [see full story for more of the interview,

USO |

has posted the following message on the group's official web site:
"...Well, we got an offer to do a tour
for the USO. For those of you that are unfamiliar, the USO is a non-profit,
non-military organization that provides entertainment for American soldiers
at home and abroad; all over the world. It's not official yet, but I'm
told that the region we will be playing in (more than likely) will be the
Middle East, i.e. Afghanistan, Kuwait, The United Arab Emirates, and...
yes, even....IRAQ! It looks like it's gonna be for a couple of weeks, maybe
in April, before we come home and kick off a U.S. tour. It's for a good
cause; it's a chance to entertain the motherf***ers that fight for this
country, and a chance to give our support. [see full story for more]-
