I've answered this question many times and given a different answer each time. I've forgotten which lie I was last using, so I'll go with this one because I don't think I've used it yet: Donna Anderson came up with the entire thing. She's the mastermind. She started the page because she had some downtime between her photo shoots for "Cherri" and "Swank." So she called me up and the rest is history. She's the glue that holds it all together and everyday I am grateful she lets me breath the same air as her.*

*Everything I just said is a lie. If you want the real story, read the f**king page.

2.) Rikki Rockett trying to get on Sex & The City: Ozzy didn't have a clue about this one, and told me to "Talk to Jani Bon Neil about that. He keeps track of all that sort of sh*t." Did anything ever come of it?

Nope. I guess Rikki talked to some people, but nothing ever came of it. Thanks to everyone who sent in their emails though!

3.) Your opinion: Will Donna D'Errico win Sludgevivor2, or will it be Scott Ian?

Well looking at the current results, I'd say Scott.

4.) Given all of the concert announcments so far this year, which one do you think will be the best? ....and the worst?

The best tour for Metal Sludge is the Poison/Warrant/Quiet Riot/Enuff Z Nuff tour because Rikki and Quiet Riot are doing tour diaries for us. Plus with Warrant on the bill, it should be interesting. The worst tour this Summer will probably be any tour that has either Pretty Boy Floyd or the BulletBoys on it.

5.) What do you think will be most likely to happen first:

A: Jeff Blando admits (even though its already proven) that he actually DID do the 20 Questions.

B: Pam and Tommy will get back together, (and Kid Rock will be their bitch).

C: The sebastianbach.com bachground will get changed for something much easier on the eyes. or

D: Eddie Ojeda will use more enthusiasm (and words) in his next interview.

I'd say Sebitchian will change his background first because A: Blando is too lame to admit he did 20 Questions B: I'm over the whole Pam/Tommy thing and D: There won't be another interview with Eddie Ojeda!

6.) What topic on the Sludge boards do you wish people would just give up? (Sludgeaholics - Take note!)

The topics that rip on the Sludgeaholics & Sludgettes Of The Month. The board is suppose to have people bitch, but some people are just too catty and lame. Plus I think there are too many Mafia's now, but hey, what do I care?

7.) Maybe I should be asking this question to Donna instead, but you're here so WTF.... Donna has the Penis Chart, why isn't there a Pussy Chart? ("Jani's Pussy Chart" - can't ya see it?!) The list would obviously be shorter and the information possibly harder to get, but I think it has substance! Sludge is always up for a challenge, right?

That's a stupid idea, and here's why. How many female rocks chicks are out there? 10, 15 tops? And what's the chart going to say..."Lita Ford has big time piss flaps with a lot of meat?" Girls always talk about dick size. Who's big, who's not. Plus the info is easier to get. Guys don't really give a fuck about what a chick's pussy looks like, just so long as she doesn't have a pair of balls down there.

8.) You never seem to be at a loss of words for anything. Who's your favorite rocker/band to pick on? (excluding Sebastian and SLAUGHTER).

It depends on who has it coming. I don't really have a favorite band to rip on. Some bands are easier to goof on than others, but I don't really have a favorite, other than the 2 you mentioned.

9.) I was just reading an interview on skidrowonline.com with Scotti Hill. He had this to say about the 20 Qs: "Cool, well I can say that the 20 questions was fun. I loved doing it but man when I saw it in my email I got butterflies in my stomach." - There are obviously a few regular questions you ask to everyone, but what about the rest? In general, how long does it take for you to come up with an entire interview set, and how do you decide what stays and what gos?

It all depends on who we are doing 20 Questions with. Some people we can come up with 40 Questions in 5 minutes, and other people it takes us a few weeks. Like I could probably spit out another 20 Questions to ask Jani Lane right now. However, some people it takes more work because they really don't have much going on. Generally, when we get an interview, each one of us sends our questions in and we put them all together. Then we just pick 20 or so questions and send them out. Sometimes one of us might be more familiar with a person, so they do the majority of the interview. Floyd knows a lot about wrestling while Donna doesn't know sh*t, so she might not even contribute to a Chris Jericho interview. But Donna likes the Marvelous 3, so she might come up with a bunch of good stuff for Butch Walker. Other times it's a total group effort.

10.) What *type* of person do you think has the hardest time accepting METAL SLUDGE? Personally, I'd have to say people over 6', with long blonde hair, that have oustanding KISS merchandise collections and that re-work their 80s hits....

People who think that everything their favorite band does is perfect. Motley fans are known for this. The people who have blinders on and can't handle hearing the truth about some of their favorite bands. And some of those real glammy type people. The ones who still dress like it's 88. I know a lot of hardcore Kiss fans that think Kiss is a joke now and dig our page because they agree with what we say.

11.) The website has grown unbelievably since its birth in '98. What can Sludgeaholics expect in the future?

I have no idea myself. The next email we get could be a huge a$$ story about something that could carry the page for the next few weeks. We have no idea. Anything is possible.

12.) So many really bad musical groups have made it big. Which ones do you think outright suck?

I hate Pearl Jam and REM. Those two come to mind first. Of course 3 Doors Down and Creed are totally overrated. At The Drive In sucks too. I think Linkin Park & Papa Roach shouldn't have sold as many records as they have either.

13.) Who's on your wishlist of people to interview?

A few names we'd like to get before it's all said and done (in no particular order) are: Vince Neil, Bret Michaels, Sebitchian, Gerri Miller, Dana Strum, somebody from Metallica, John Kalodner, somebody from Aerosmith. I never thought we would have interviewed half the people we've done 20 Questions with, so nothing surprises me anymore. I think it's realistic that we'll get some of these guys sooner or later.

14.) The Sludgette/Sludgeaholic of the month section on the website is very well received. Whats the process for picking who gets SOTM, and approx. how many applications for it do you get on a monthly basis?

The process goes like this: We get a picture sent to us. We look at it. We go, "Ok, you're in." That's it. We try to pick people that are hardcore fans. We try to avoid people who are already "famous" or well known on the net. We want to discover cool people like a Jim Bob Dwarf and then give them a little taste of fame. We get quite a few entries every week but unfortunately we can't pick everybody. It's nothing personal though and we encourage people to keep sending in their pics! And if you send in a picture and you don't get a response, don't worry. We save everything and we might call on you sooner or later. Be patient!

15.) If you could tell my website readers and Sludgeaholics alike, 1 thing that they didn't already know about METAL SLUDGE, what would it be?

That Katie is giving me a blowjob as I write this!

Awesome interview - Thanks a lot Jani!! For more of his commentary on anything rock, visit Metal-Sludge.com

As with the Ozzy Stillbourne interview, let me remind all you whiney people that I censor any profanity for the simple reason that I use a free website provider. I know... how lame... but hey!! - Everyone starts out small - even Sludge did!
