CRADLE OF FILTH Frontman On God, Near-Death Experiences And His Worst Haircut

November 28, 2006

CRADLE OF FILTH frontman Dani Filth recently engaged in a vapid session of answering "Some Questions" at DrownedInSound.com. A couple of excerpts follow:

Q: If you could be drowned in anything, what would it be?

Dani: Naked female flesh. Or booze. Or Lovecraftian tentacles.

Q: Have you had any near-death experiences?

Dani: Once on mushrooms. I transcended the universe, becoming one with God until a friend's persistent nagging brought me back from beyond the veils of death and into his rather manky flat in Colchester.

Q: Do you believe in a God?

Dani: Yes I do, although it is an amalgam of all the relevant bits of other religious deities, including of course, the nasty ones. To avoid debates with so-called people-in-the-know, I get away with saying I'm a pagan.

Q: What has been your most notable experience with fans and admirers?

Dani: They have all been good. Our fans are the dog's bollocks and are continually surprising us with their dedication to the cause and, of course, their endless enthusiasm for our musical output.

Q: What was your worst haircut?

Dani: A dye job when I was at sixth form that went wrong (it went orange),one that my mother contributed to by misjudging an under shave and making it bald. For about a week I looked like a ginger vulture.

Q: On a scale of 1-10, how good do you look naked?

Dani: It depends what sex is looking. Since my detox diet, I reckon I could pass as an eight if the viewer didn't see my face.
