American Dog   "Scars-n-Bars" Mit "Scars-n-Bars" ist es American Dog erstmalig gelungen, die wilde Energie ihrer Live-Shows in einem Studioalbum rüberzubringen... ... man braucht dazu nur eine sehr laute HiFi-Anlage und genug zu Trinken... Michael Hannon (voc, bg) und seine wüsten Mitstreiter Steve Theado (git) und Keith Pickens (dr) ziehen wieder sämtliche Rock´n´Roll-Register. Den Zuhörer erwarten proletarische Breitseiten ("Workin´ Man"), krachende Uptempo-Rock´n´Roller ("Conviction"), böser Heavy-Blues ("Lucky 13") und Southern-Slideguitar-Massaker ("Got you by a chain"). American Dog rocken mehr denn je und wissen, was sie ihren Fans schulden. Schließlich teilt man die Lieblingsthemen: Rocken & Saufen & Ficken. Trendy? Egal! Politisch korrekt? Scheißegal! Längst sind sie die größte tourende Rock-Band im Bundesstaat Ohio, werden als Redneck-Metalheads, Arbeiterhelden gefeiert. American Dog sind hart arbeitende Kickass-Rock´n´Roller, die lauteste Bluesrockband, die bluesigsten Metaller des Planeten - die Letzten einer aussterbenden Gattung, ein Benzin saufender & Abgas kotzender Haufen White Trash. In Fankreisen werden American Dog seit längerem als legitime Ablösung für bzw. Inkarnation von Kultbands wie AC/DC, Rose Tattoo oder Motörhead gehandelt. In Frankreich füllen sie bereits allein größere Clubs, in Deutschland steht der Durchbruch bevor, nachdem die Band in 2004 mit Rose Tattoo tourte und mit Molly Hatchet die "Hamburg Harley Days" rockte. Die "Scars-n-Bars"-Tour 2005 führte American Dog im April und Mai mit ihren Freunden, Geistesverwandten und Labelmates (V8-Wankers, Sir Edward, Ohrenfeindt,Skinny Molly) durch Deutschland, Frankreich, Benelux und England. 1.

Ten 'til Two http://www.americandog.us Sir Edward interviewt Micheal Hannon (Hamburg Harley Days 2004) SE: You call your music "Redneck Metal". What does it mean? MH: Just a bit of slang to describe our sound which is a combination of Southern Rock and Hard Rock, and since we're from the midwestern part of the States, we have a very "Blue Collar" attitude, We don't need Fancy Clothes or a Flashy stage show, Image doesn't mean jack-shit to us, just grab a beer and kick some ass! SE: Your endorsing Jägermeister and you´re getting drunk on stage, while in America people can´t even drink on the street. Are you rebels? MH: Lets clarify, we Do Drink a few on stage , but we Don't get Drunk on Stage, (We'll do that later) We'd be ripping off the audience if we go on stage plastered , We give a damn about our audience and our music, and we won't comprimise either. ...As far as being Rebels? Hell Yeah, just because somebody sez something, that don't make it right, I'll form my own opinions thank you. SE: Did you ever get into trouble with women´s lib or other people accusing you for being "un-p.c."? MH: The only way to deal with loud-mouths who have nothing to do with their time except to butt into other peoples lives is by paying no attention to them. Ignore them and they fade away! In the words of Al Bundy "Your opinion means Nothing to Me!" SE: So the lady with the dog lead round her neck was business-as-usual? MH: Fuck, I almost forgot. That was for the European booklet of Red, White, Black & Blue only. No way to get away with shit like that in the States SE: In America you rock large audiences, what´s it like for you to come to Europe and basically start all over? MH: I love it, Fighting uphill is all We've known, and when ya get to the top of the hill ya dig in! Plus you guys have the best damn Beer. SE: You headline the "Hamburg Harley Days" tonight just before Molly Hatchet. Are you a "Biker Band"? MH: We've played hundreds of Biker shows, Sturgis, Easyriders events. You name it, we've played it, So yeah I guess you could say a lot of our audience is from the Bike Community, but we don't play bike shows exclusivley, We'll play anywhere, with (almost) anyone, Hell a couple of years ago we did shows with David Allan Coe and three days later we were with Overkill, and both crowds liked us. SE: How´s touring with Rose Tattoo been so far? MH: Fuckin' Great bunch of guys, and a damn good band, although I think I drove Angry nuts askin' him to play the title track to their album "Pain", I kept sayin c'mon it's the fuckin' title track, over and over......I'd been hittin the bottle with their bass player Steve pretty heavy that night! HA! SE: Who´d you vote directly for president (and why) if you had to choose from G.W.Bush, Sir Edward or Larry Flint? MH: Fuck 'em All! I wouldn't trust any God Damn Politician, they're just fucking modern day vampires, Lawyers that have graduated to a lower level of deception. I've been all over the world, there's good people and bad people everywhere ya go, but they all have one thing in common, none of 'em trust their politicians SE: You´re saying Sir Edward and Larry Flint are politicians??? MH: Ha. Now I gotcha. Why not - everything´s possible, Ronald Reagan has been No.1, even Arnold Schwarzenegger might be one day. Each of 'em would be fatal. ln Sir Edward´s presidency the people would probably finish it all off with free drugs. Larry Flint means free sex and dirty jokes. I´d vote for Larry Flint. Well, with Edward as Vice, I guess.
