SLUDGETTE OF THE MONTH

Dani Joy

Up to this month, our youngest Sludgette Of The Month was Brie Moser-Omholt, back in July 2001. She was 15 years old at the time. Well, she's now been beat out by this month's Sludgette, Dani Joy! Dani is only 14! She wasn't even alive when most of the bands we cover were in their prime, but after reading her answers here, she's done her homework and is making up for lost time!

Congratulations to Dani for being our January 2004 Sludgette Of The Month!

11. You were born in 1989, when Vince Neil was still thin, and you were about 2 when the entire hairband scene was on it's way out. How is it you ended up finding out about these bands and being such a big fan?
Well, ive never really like current music ive been into the Rolling stones since I'm 7. Then in 6th grade my dad got me into ACDC, guns n roses, the clash, and nirvana. Then in 7th grade we got digital cable which has the vh1 classic station and motley crue was playing a lot and I really got into them and every hair band. I used to be so obsessed with it all. Especially motley crue, I have Nikki's autograph!( I didn't get to meet him, my dad did but I have a Polaroid of him holding a picture of me!) My sisters guy friends got me into some of too I guess. A lot of people think its weird and it can be...

14. Do your parents have any idea you visit our page?
Yeah they do, my dad is really proud that I'm sludgette of the month! He occasionally reads the page when I tell him too.

15. You sent us a picture of you with a guitar. How long have you been playing and what 80s hairband songs can you play? Figured out those tricky riffs like "Talk Dirty To Me" yet?
I've been playing guitar for 2 years I didn't add that. Poison totally ripped off cheap tricks "she's tight," yeah I can play some of it. I can play stairway to heaven and sweet child of mine. I can play other songs too! I'm not in a band.

16. Do you think being a Sludgette is going to increase your popularity at High School?
Not at all! I'm not popular at all but i do have friends. I'll tell my english teacher though, shes a poison fan!

17. The way to my heart is: Liking my music and being nice to me, and not making fun of the Rolling Stones, pisses me off when people make jokes about how old they are.
