TH: Songs from Dragging Down The Enforcer. I read that yall have been sitting on those for awhile.
BP: Some of 'em we have. Some of 'em we wrote like a couple months before we went into
the studio.
IX: Yeah, and some we kinda re-vamped. like tweeked it out a little bit so they weren't boring
BP: yeah, probably over half of 'em we wrote when we just pretty much started playing. Spit
'em out real quick.
JL: yeah, we were on a roll
BP: We were on a roll when we first started cause we just fucking hadn't written anything in
so long so we just spit out a bunch of songs. We sat on 'em for awhile and released some of 'em on an
EP, stuff like that.
TH: Projects coming up soon for any of yall or all of yall, like you know, Jimmy told me back in Feb when
when I saw Down in NOLA that there would be new EYEHATEGOD in 2009
IX: we got some stuff written man
GM: yeah, we're working on it. its just we try to wait for everybody to be here so that, you know, its
a group effort
BP: We made a (?) not to do stuff without anybody really (?) like shows and stuff like that.
So, you know, its a slow process but hopefully eventually we'll get enough songs together and do the
record but with Jimmy busy with down and us doing this and Soilent Green and Crowbar and like all the
other stuff, its kinda hard to actually get it all together but we'll get it done so hopefully it'll
happen
TH: And one thing I was wondering, I heard from Firebaugh, Jules, he does the NOLA Underground website
back in Feb too. I kept noticing that Jimmy kept talking to Keith who plays in Haarp, the drummer.
GM: yeah
TH: And he said there's going to be some kinda project but he wasn't at liberty to talk about it.
BP: I don't know anything about that.
IX: Probably something else making us wait
TH: Cause its like a year later now so I haven't heard nothing on this, does anybody know about it?
IX: I have no idea
BP: Nah
JL: Nah
TH: aight, we'll just edit that part out then.
IX: I have 2000 unknown things things until a week before it happens
*everyone laughs*
Mike IX: Yeah
TH: Lyrical content, EYEHATEGOD versus Outlaw Order. Is it all the same or do you have a different mind set?
IX: Its totally different, I mean what lyrics there are.
TH: yeah, its very hard to interpret. We have a thread going, you know, EYEHATEGOD Lyrics
IX: Oh really?
TH: We have Southern Discomfort almost figured out but that's about it
IX: *laughs* I'd like to read that
*everyone laughs*
TH: If you wanna read it, I mean, he’s got the links in his myspace somewhere, I think.
BP: Y'all put more work into it than we did
*everyone laughs*
TH: Me and Nole'Core actually sat there for a while and he kept IMing me like “hey what does 3:51 sound like?”
Shine? Crying? Pride?
Mike IX: Its whatever you want it to be man. There's lyrics there, they just change and stuff. I like to think
of it as a stream of consciousness thing
GM: It is
BP: its like Jazz man, you feeling (something?)
IX: and then like on the albums, you know, pretty much learn the songs off the albums after we record it
GM that’s their permanents
GM: that makes 'em permanent
IX: yeah, then they're like, that’s forever. Like the people in church that get overwelmed and start speaking
in tongues and shit, its kinda like the same thing.
TH: So like, kinda like the vocals are can be seen more like an instrument?
IX: Well nah, that’s kinda dumb to say but it is like a stream of consciencness type of thing. Theres ideas
thought behind every song. And Outlaw Order's definitely different than EYEHATEGOD.
JL : and you do use things that are actually written, I mean you always bring written stuff in there
but there’s always stuff that you improv
IX: oh yeah, yeah. and some of it changes, yeah. But its written.
