Interview With Ted Poley                                                                         

What would be your dream gig?

Same gig as now, just with a lot more money.

If you could put one Danger Danger song in a vault labelled 'Songs That Suck', which song would it be?

 

If you would have asked me that 12 years ago I would have said " Sick Little Twisted Mind", which I hated back then, but now its become one of my favorites and I am glad they forced me to record it! I don't think any D2 song sucks..songwriting is harder than you think.

What is your strangest fan story?

I married one once.....well, twice....but only one is still a fan.

What is the best rumour you have ever heard about yourself?

Once, in South Dakota, half the crew and me got food poisoning and were puking green stuff all the way to the emergency room and we had to cancel a show and I heard that I had overdosed and had to cancel...I didn't bother to address or correct that one as I thought the rumor sounded cooler than a stomach virus...

During a typical Danger Danger tour what percentage of you were faithful to your partners?

Zero, that's a percent isn't it? Things have changed a lot since the old days though, except for Steve, he is still livin' the life! Now I would have to say that 3/4 of the bands penises are inaccessible.

 

When was the last time you did something R'N'R in a hotel?

Last year in Jamaica, I got lots of R&R.....REST and RELAXATION....I am not really the "throwing a television out of the hotel window into the swimming pool" kind of rock star...

 

     

Danger Danger have toured with many bands. What bands were the most difficult to get along with?

 

I got along with all the bands except Danger Danger! lol...only kidding,,,,sort of , well like I said things are different now..happy times are here, hopefully to stay!

 

What album have you purchased which you are most disappointed with?

 

most these days...you get a good song or two and the rest is crap..

 

If you could get in the ring with anyone in the music industry, who would it be and why?

 

Ashley Simpson I fucking hate that fake bitch. Plus I am pretty sure I wouldn't get my ass kicked.

What has been your most Rock 'N' Roll moment to date? 

Touring arenas hanging out with KISS was pretty cool

What bands influenced you as a child?

The Partridge Family, The Jackson Five. The Beatles

What was your favourite toy?

Remco Lost In Space Robot or my Batman Batbelt with guns, flashlight, battarang and everything. I lost the battarang in a tree the first day I had it ,it's probably still up the tree in front of my old house in Paramus NJ...

 

If you could choose any musicians (dead or alive) to create a line up of your own personal supergroup, who would you have?

 

I don't think I have room around the house for a personal supergroup, the cats and dog take up most of the extra space..

 

What song makes you think, 'Damn I wish I wrote that?'

 

'Happy Birthday To You'

 

Do you write from personal experiences?

 

Yes, they are the only kind of experiences that I ever have...

 

Is there a message you would like to give to your fans?

 
yes, I love them all and thanks for your continued support, hope to see you on tour soon and please visit my own site at www.tedpoley.com for lost of fun photos, soundbites and to get my own music too!
rock on!

What's in your pockets?

My hands and some lint
