NEVERMORE's WARREL DANE: 'I Got Mistaken For DORO PESCH A Few Times'

June 23, 2008

Blistering.com recently conducted an interview with NEVERMORE frontman Warrel Dane. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow.

Blistering.com: Describe the '80s glam metal scene in Seattle. Was there even a scene?

Warrel Dane: When ALICE IN CHAINS first started, they were definitely all glammed up. There's some incriminating photos of those guys floating around and I remember when they were touring with MEGADETH and Dave Mustaine got a hold of those pictures when they were hair-sprayed and ratted-up, so he found them pretty amusing. I think there was a glam scene, but it was more hard rock. It was there for a little while; it didn't last long.

Blistering.com: While on the subject, how exactly long was your hair?

Dane: I got mistaken for Doro a few times. SANCTUARY [Dane's previous band] did a tour with MEGADETH and WARLOCK and I got mistaken for Doro, for sure. If you're going to get mistaken for a woman, I guess it's good to be mistaken for her. She's up there and she looks amazing. I don't know what the hell she's doing I know she doesn't party maybe that's why she still looks so good. She looks the same as she did 20 years ago. I don't know what her secret is, but she should share it with somebody. [laughs]

Blistering.com: Politics is one of the many topics you've touched upon in NEVERMORE and your solo record. Are you a registered Democrat or Republican?

Dane: I'm a fucking Democrat. I'm not going to lie. I'm a little frightened as to what's happening right now because I don't want John McCain to be the President. I just don't gel with any of his ideologies whatsoever.

Blistering.com: You don't think his comment about us being in Iraq for another 100 years will hurt him?

Dane: The screwed-up thing is that something like that, which is so alarming to me, can show how people are so lost and clueless. It's so weird. How long is he going to be alive? Will he make it to another term? I'm very disillusioned about the whole thing.

It used to be great when we would go to Europe and our dollar was less than zero. That didn't last long, obviously. Whoever takes control has to do drastic things for our economy with the U.S. dollar being so worthless right now. It's really discouraging.
