PUSSY LIST - RICH WARD

Fozzy's webmaster Ed, who is a Sludgeaholic, said he could get Rich Ward to do 20 Questions. So we sent out our questions on January 29, 2003. Originally, it was supposed to be done on video tape and be the first ever video 20 Questions, but that feel through because they didn't get around to it. That's fine. Rich was still given the questions but we never got anything back. Ed tried numerous times to help us out, so it's not his fault. It appears that Mr. Ward had much better things to do than promote his band or get exposure. His loss.

1. What are you currently up to? This is your only chance to promote your latest happenings.

2. You've been rather vocal in the past about politics and shit like that, so what's your take on Iraq and all that crap?

3. What hard rock/heavy metal band should give it up and call it a day?

4. A while back, we posted Dan Dryden's rebuttal to your "Ward Have Mercy" column that you had posted on your web site shortly after Dan left the band. He pretty much shot everything you said full of holes. Do you actually lie that much or is Dryden full of shit?

5. Rate the following guitarist on a scale of 1 to 10. 1 being somebody who has no business on stage and 10 being a virtuoso.
Dimebag Darrell =
Zakk Wylde =
C.C. DeVille =
Butch Walker =
Steve Vai =
Scott Ian =
Snake Sabo =
Mick Mars =
Glenn Tipton =
Wolf Hoffman =
Lord Edgar Bayden Powell =

6. Was the song "Suburban Ranger" aimed at anyone in particular or just the whole scene at the time?

7. Are you ever embarrassed by the pants your lead singer chooses to wear?

8. The demo version of Babylon was said to be recorded in Butch Walker's basement studio. Is it any coincidence that this is also the first heavy riff you guys ever really did, as you were more of a funk band before? Should Butch take credit for this?

9. Who's the most overrated band today?

10. Which do you prefer and why:
Warrant or Poison =
Buckhead or Midtown =
Slipknot or Mudvayne =
George Bush, Sr. or George Bush, Jr =
420 Monks or Insane Clown Posse =
Cheetahs or Tattletales =
Southgang or Marvelous 3 =
Nikki Sixx or Gene Simmons =
Stone Cold Steve Austin or The Rock =
Britney Spears or Christina Aquilera =

11. Is Dan really a cross-dressing Mary Kaye salesman in his spare time and have you ever actually seen him be raped by an angry penguin?

12. How much was your biggest music related check and what did you do with it?

13. Yes or no, have Rich Ward ever:
Been arrested =
Wore lipstick and eyeliner =
Had lunch with Jesse James Dupree =
Thought you could kick Jericho's ass =
Had a wrestler flirt with you =
Sang along to a Justin Timberlake song =
Tried to do a lionsault =
Had a threesome =
Suffered from a pec tear =
Regretted a tattoo =

14. What rock star deserves a smack in the mouth and why?

15. Fozzy issued a press release a few months ago regarding a video shoot. In that press release it states:

"Rich Ward is a well-known and highly respected guitarist who formed and performed in the band Stuck Mojo, reaching worldwide sales of 500,000 units."

We recently did a Sludge Scan of Stuck Mojo's CDs and came up with 152,393 combined sales, 347,607 short of your figure. How did you come up with half a million?

16. The last of Rich Ward:
Last CD you purchased =
Last book you read =
Last movie you saw =
Last wrestling show you went to =
Last time you talked to Bonz =
Last time you saw the inside of a tour bus =
Last time you wanted to beat the shit out of somebody =
Last concert you saw that sucked =
Last magazine you bought =
Last time you shot a gun =

17. Isn't it safe to say that Fozzy owes most of their success to Metal Sludge?

18. You're obviously in very good physical shape. Judging by the photo on the back of the "Pigwalk" CD, you must have weighed a whopping 120 pounds. A year or two later on the "Rising" CD, you looked like the Incredible Hulk. Have you ever done steroids and if so, isn't that hypocritical of your "Anti-Drug" image?

19. You recently changed Sick Speed's name to "Rich Ward's Sick Speed". Is that supposed to make a difference?

20. Time for Metal Sludge's Word Association. We mention a name and you give us your thoughts.
Fred Durst =
Kid Rock =
Sebastian Bach =
Sevendust =
Butch Walker =
Serj Tankian =
Tom Morello =
Bonz =
Paul Gargano =
Dan Dryden =
