THE HAUNTED Frontman: 'It's Fun Watching People Get Really Upset Over Bullsh*t'

October 27, 2006

THE HAUNTED frontman Peter Dolving has told MTV.com that he enjoys screwing with people too — another reason why he's been opening heated dialogues on MySpace with those HAUNTED fans who don't agree with his various opinions. He could just ignore the insults and not respond. But, "It's fun watching people get really upset over bullsh--," the singer explained. "It's like when you were in school, and you'd get in trouble all the time because you'd always f--- with the wrong people, or you'd get laid with the wrong teacher's daughter. The things I write in my blogs are just my thoughts — they're things I'd like to get out of me. I usually get more positive responses than I do negative responses. But when these people get pissed, it amuses me."

Back in 2005, Dolving even tried to get a rise out of some of the bands he'd spent the summer with as part of Ozzfest.

"We wrote this one song that we actually ended up recording and played before our sets on the last three weeks of Ozzfest," he recalled. "It was called 'Three Random Words', and instead of lyrics, I just took all these band names — AS I LAY DYING and IT DIES TODAY and EVERY TIME I DIE, blah, blah, blah — and I just kind of yelled them out. I took the Ozzfest lineups from the last couple of years, and I just sang those band names all the way through. The music was sort of this spoof on metalcore, and we just cracked up. The twisted thing is, when we were playing it, people [in the crowd] started nodding and getting into it."
