Scott Vogel (Terror, Buried Alive, Despair, Slugfest)

1- You just got home from your third tour of Australia, that's crazy! How was it this time around? Highlights?

WE LOVE IT OVER THERE....THANKS FOR HAVING US BACK....REUNITING WITH HATEBREED, SEEING SUICIDAL AND PLAYING THOSE BIG ASS FEST ONE DAY AND THEN INTO A SMALL ASS CLUB THE NEXT WAS REALLY COOL... BEING TREATED SO GOOD BY GRAHAM....CHILLING WITH GREG SO MUCH...SEE OUR OLD FRIENDS LIKE YOU...ITS A FUCKING BLAST EVERYTIME

2- Your getting older, haha, what keeps you here?

HC IS ALL I KNOW...I STILL LOVE THE SHOWS..DEMOS..ZINES...SEEING A CROWD GO OFF...TRAVELING...IM 34 IN A FEW DAYS BUT MY HEAD AND HEART ARE STILL 19...HC HAS CHANGED AND SO HAVE I BUT SOMETHING IN THE MUSIC JUST MAKES ME SMILE...THAT A LIFETIME LYRIC I PUT MY OWN SPIN ON TO SUM UP HOW I FEEL

3- What still pisses you off about hardcore?

KIDS THAT THINK ITS ABOUT A LOOK OR MYSPACE...KIDS THAT DRESS UP FOR SHOWS..KIDS THAT ONLY TALK ABOUT OLD BANDS AND DONT CARE ABOUT 07...KIDS THAT LIKE WHATEVER EVERYONE ELSE LIKES...KIDS THAT GO TO SHOWS AND RUIN THEM...TOO MUCH TALK AND NO ONE DOES A FUCKING THING...

4- What do you like better? The core or hip hop? and what are your favourite albums from each genre?

I LISTEN TO MORE HIP HOP THESE DAYS BUT NOTHING GIVES ME THE VIBE HC DOES.. ILL ALWAYS BE A HC KID...ALWAYS...BORN TO EXPIRE, HOLD IT DOWN, MASTER KILLER, ILL BLOOD, DONT FORGET THE STRUGGLE FOR HC.... HARD TO EARN, THE INFAMOUS, ILLMATIC, THE CHRONIC, GETTO BOYS SELF TITLED...THAT THE FIRST SHIT THAT COMES TO MIND

5- Terror as a band has grown alot over the years, and you are playing bigger and bigger shows/venues, do you miss playing the shitholes?

MAN WE PLAYED A BASEMENT A FEW MONTHS AGO...AND IT WAS DOPE..WE STILL HIT THE SHITHOLES BELIEVE ME...LAST TOUR IN EUROPE WE HAD A CANCELLED SHOW SO WE BOOKED ONE A FEW DAYS IN ADVANCE IN A TINY BAR IN THE UK WITH NO STAGE...WE LOVE IT...WE LOVE IT ALL...THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A PACKED SHOW WITH ALL HC KIDS GOING OFF...BUT AT THE SAME TIME BEING ABLE TO ROCK 5000 METAL HEAD AND GET THEM TO GO NUTS FOR DUMB ASS TERROR IS COOL TOO...NO LIMITS NO RULES JUST GOING OUT AND HAVING FUN AND DESTROYING WHATEVER THEY PUT IN MY PATH

(edit- this interview was redone word for word, caps and scott's crazy ......'s included, Scott rules you can feel his love and enthusiasm for hardcore seeping out of him even in this short i/v)
