shout-out to PZO





 
 

PZO: As a band, what do you think your best qualities are?
Bobby: As a band? I think our unity. We've taken a little bit of time off. I think Orgy without one member really wouldn't be Orgy. But definitely, unity of the band.

PZO: What qualities would you like to improve?
Bobby: I don't know. That's a tough question. <laughs> I think things are going pretty good now. We haven't played, we haven't been out on the road, so we need to get out there and play and find something we need to improve on.

PZO: What is one goal you want to accomplish as a musician?
Bobby: Get respect from a lot of musicians. To become better.

PZO: What are you most proud of on the new album, Punk*Statik*Paranoia?
Bobby: That it's really raw. There's a couple of songs that have bass and stuff like that, but most of it is just raw drums, guitar and bass. So it's definitely different from the past few records.

PZO: What is a common compliment people give you individually and as a band?
Bobby: "I really like your hair." <laughs> Most people compliment our look, our image. But recently, I mean we've been away for a long time. We'll see this time what people compliment us.

PZO: What was the last meaningful thing you did?
Bobby: That'd be with my kids. Almost everyday for me is meaningful. Just giving them breakfast is just great. I just love being with them. It means the world.

PZO: What's the best lesson you've learned from past experiences in your career?
Bobby: Don't trust a lot of people. <laughs> Don't stick to one thing. Don't limit yourself. Keep learning. Work, work, work as much as you can.

PZO: What's something you wish people would understand about you or any issue you believe in?
Bobby: That's a tough one. I try to do stuff. I do what I need to do. I don't try to fish anything on anybody.

PZO: What event in your life had the greatest impact on you?
Bobby: My kids. My kids. Huge. Huge.
PZO: How many?
Bobby: I have two kids. I have a boy he's going to be a four in May and a girl that's two.
PZO: What are their names?
Bobby: Gavin and Willow.

PZO: What is one of your best childhood memories?
Bobby: I have a twin brother. So we always raised some shit. We grew up in Los Angeles, so we skipped school and took the bus down to the beach all the time. Just being able to be, you know, no responsibilities and just having fun 'cause that's all you would look forward to. Get some supper, go to a movie, that stuff. Just that freedom.
PZO: Are you guys best friends?
Bobby: Yeah, I'm actually here at his house.

PZO: What keeps you grounded and optimistic?
Bobby: My family. My wife. She does a great job of doing that. She's always supporting me and pushing me. She see's things in a better light than at the times that I don't. My kids always put a smile on my face. They definitely keep me on my feet.

PZO: What is the worst advice you've ever been given?
Bobby: <laughs> Financial advise.

PZO: What is one thing you would not do no matter how much money you were offered?
Bobby: Gay porn. <laughs> Depends on if I'm broke or not. <laughs> That's a tough one. I don't know. That's a good one.

PZO: If you were running for president what would your motto be?
Bobby: That's too much pressure, too much responsibility. Hmm…my motto. I don't know. You're stumping me. I don't know. Pass!

PZO: Given the opportunity, who would you kidnap for a day? No family members.
Bobby: Gee, I don't know. <gets frustrated> You're killing me!
<laughter>
PZO: Alright, kidnap your family.
Bobby: Okaaaaaaay.

PZO: Is there a question that comes up in interviews that you're tired of being asked?
Bobby: Seeing as in this is my first interview since like a year and a half--
PZO: Really?
Bobby: Yeah, yeah. Nothing lately, but it's always been how we got the name [of the band].

PZO: Is there one you want to be asked?
Bobby: Sometimes personal and maybe things that are out of the ordinary. How did you write song? Or maybe something about our equipment, you know something more in depth than the obvious.

PZO: Tell everyone why they should buy the new Orgy album, Punk*Statik*Paranoia.
Bobby: This record is really stripped down. Very raw and very simple. I think people are gonna really be interested in this record. I think they're really going to like it.
