First off, you still skateboarding?
No, not so much now. I still own my board but im distracted by my big, black, leather seated truck. I need to get silent and alone again, go skaiting in the dark parts off Los Angeles again and hear the concrete's heart. Soon!
Your music has evolved and grown over the years, but did you ever think it would be associated for a Volkswagen?
I'm have German, so yes, I knew it would happen! Nah man, it was surpise to me! My label just showed me the commercial and said they wanted my song "The Bomb", my first reponse was "why?" Im thankful though and i really dig what they did with it.
Your name came from Jesus; but where did some of your more quirky track names come from, such as Chimpanzee and The Inevitable Return of the Pretty Boy Virgins?
Jesus again. I cannot get rid of this guy. All he wants to do is eat lunch, talk to people and party really hardcore. He helps me with my drinking problem and he gets me laid monthly so I have no complaints!
To you - what is music?
God's voice. Its what God sounds like, its God's dialect and is completely emo. A rush of water and wind and the universal string of languange amongst was humans. Without it we would die within 6 months.
When not recording or touring, what occupies most of your time?
Masturbation and reading of books and comics. And spending time with girls. I love them, they are so imspiring and romantic. I mean have you ever had a girl bring you your book with a cup of coffee then leave the room because she knows you need your time alone? That stuff me on!!!!
At the time in 2003 while Pigeon John Is Dating Your Sister, how did their father feel about this?
I think he hated it at first, but I am like Rcihie Cunningham in front of the parents and Fonzie when they are gone. So they love me and most importantly their daughters do too.
What would be your ultimate goal with your career?
To win the Grammy for Best Album Of The Year. When OutKast did it as the first Rap group in history, I was so happy and and it broadened my horizions and goals. And when i do it Im pushing the podium over and pissing on the stage... make some history while at it right? oi!
Along with your tour in Australia, do you have any time off to enjoy the sights planned?
Yes indeed! We had some bomb sushi yesterday by Hyde Park. Planning on going down to the Opera house tomorrow before our show. And you guys have the prettiest girls here! wow!
The tour suggests "blend of wit, charisma and undeniable stage presence", please, tell us more....
I wanted to do Dragon Slayer with an Emcee and DJ feel. Left feild hip hop done straight away. I wanted to blend the fans of Wu Tang with the fans of Depeche Mode you know... use the turntable as a guitar and sings folk songs... i hope it goes smashingly!
If you weren't a musician - who would John be?
A professional prostitue. A John, if you will. And id make millions of dollars you can bet your ass!!!!
