questions to Andreas "Gerre" Geremia of Tankard
**************************************************
1.
Now when you have insight in the business - would you encourage
your daughter or son to become a professional musician, or advice
against it?
Gerre:
Oh, I don´t have any children, so I really can´t
give you a 100% answer. I like to say, that they would have
the chance to do what they want!!!!! But I want to be their
manager....of course!!!!!
2.
A metalsong you think "Man - I wish I'd written that one..."
when you hear it?
Gerre:
"Heavy Metal Maniac" from Exciter. This was one of my first
all time fave songs I was grown up with. The song is full of
aggression, speed and it´s got a famous hookline!!!!!!!
3.
The last album you bought/acquired, and your brief opinion about
it?
Gerre:
I bought the new Machine Head album and I like it very much.
Total aggression, a famous sound and very brutal vocals, the
kind of music I listen to has to be like that!!!!!
4.
If someone told you tomorrow that you can't be involved in music
anymore, what do you see yourself doing in 5 years from now?
Gerre: I would still do my regular job
as a social worker and would love to dream from the old times
standing on stage and producing a fuckin` lot of noise!!!!!!!

5.
Myself as a privat person in a few sentences?
Gerre:
Fat, ugly and still alive!!!!!!!!
6.
Unexpectedly and out of the blue you get a whole week totally
off from music and work - what would you most of all want to
do?
Gerre:
Watching football games!
7.
Mp3 - an abomination or a good way to make your name and music
heard?
Gerre:
I think first of all it is quite good to learn to know the specific
sound of a band. The prices for cds must go down, they are much
too high!!! It´s the fault of the whole industry that
the sales go back so much! A lot of people would buy more cds
by lower prices.
8.
What do you treasure most in your life, except metal and family?
Gerre:
Watching football, supporting my favourite team Eintracht Frankfurt,
working as a metal dj and answering fan questions.
9.
An instrument you always wish that you started playing/learning,
but never did?
Gerre:
When
I was young I really would have love to play bagpipers (doodle-sack)!!!
but nowadays I would need a lot of training to do it......to get
old it´s fucking hard!!!!!
10.
Beer, whisky, wine or a cocktail in the tv sofa on a relaxed
at-home-saturday night? Brand of the beverage?
Gerre: Beer
of course for the kings of beer!!!! (Perhaps not the most unexpected
answer from the frontman of the band that has created their
own genre: Beer Metal. //Tommy)
11.
Which historical person do you feel would fit best as a description
on you as a person?
Gerre: This historical person must be
born first!
12. What most people don't know, never have known, and probably
never would know about me if they don't read this?
Gerre:
That
I never drank alcohol, it is only pure image of Tankard to sell
millions of records!!!!
13.
If a famous actor were to play the part as you in a motion picture
- who would be best suitable for that purpose, you think?
Gerre:
Sarah Young, the greatest porno-star ever!!!!!
14.
What ingredient is the most important and vital of them all
when making good music, according to you?
Gerre:
Humor, honest and tons of beer!!!!
15.
Your best advice to a person determined to make it in the metalbusiness?
Gerre: Take care of false friends when
you are successful!
