EVERY TIME I DIE Guitarist: I Have Only Good Stories About SHARON OSBOURNE

Shoutmouth.com recently conducted an interview with EVERY TIME I DIE guitarist Andy Williams. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:

Shoutmouth.com: By the way, I have to ask you about Ozzfest. With all the stories that Sharon Osbourne is such a horrible bitch to the bands, are they true?

Andy: I have only good stories about that woman. I can't say anything bad about her. They were doing the "Battle for Ozzfest" thing when we were on the tour, and A DOZEN FURIES won it… and I became really good friends with their guitar player. We weren't supposed to be friends. Actually, any time we — this sounds so bad — the "real bands" went by the "Battle for Ozzfest" bands, we'd get yelled at. We weren't allowed to talk to them because it was basically a boot camp for them. But for some reason, I became good friends with that Danny kid, and every time I saw him, I would throw him food or something. And we kidnapped him one night. We hid in a bush and literally just grabbed him and took him and made him party and got him wasted. But anyway, on the last day of the whole thing, that's when their bands could actually perform. And I was on the side of the stage and someone comes up and holds my hand. I look down like, "What the fuck?" And it's Sharon Osbourne. And she's holding my hand, so I said, "Hey, I'm Andy from EVERY TIME I DIE," and she says, "I know exactly who you are. I need someone to escort me today and I want you to be the escort." So I escorted her to all these press conferences and stuff. It was awesome.

Shoutmouth.com: Do you have a reputation for being a bodyguard?

Andy: No, I just have a reputation for being….I tell you, you won't find a person who has a bad thing to say about me, and I try to keep it like that. I guess my reputation of being a nice guy got back to her. It was pretty weird, though.

Shoutmouth.com: Are you banned from any countries?

Andy: No. No. That would be awful. Almost. Wait? I'm banned from a city. I can't remember the name. There was this club — I don't remember its name, but it was in England, somewhere, and it wasn't even us. We played a show, and every club in Europe, the show goes on, and the second you are done playing, nightclub music comes on and it's a dance club. And people start dancing. It happens at every show. So in this place, the dressing room was right by the stage. We got off stage, went in there, literally took showers, got dressed, and went out. But people from the nightclub snuck into the dressing room and destroyed it. We were not even in the club, we went to get something to eat, and came back to bouncers saying they were going to beat our asses. And we went in the room, and it was just smashed up. We weren't even there, but they said it was bullshit, blah blah, blah.
