The Electric Chairs
|
So, anyway, The Electric Chairs was a name I came
up with for any British band that I acquired! It was never supposed to be
one set of people! I thought up the name while I was touring Europe as
Wayne County. I thought it would get us a record deal, cause it sounded
more like a real band. There were three different drummers, three
different guitar players, only me and the bass player remained the same
thru the whole thing!!! Plus I own the name. When we broke up the last
band I had tried to go on without me, but it was a total disaster, cause
I was the band! Without me it was nothing. They bombed on their asses,
and embarrassed themselves really bad! Plus the half baked manager, Bob
Black, that I had at the time, broke us up by telling lies to me then
running back to the band and telling them lies! He had been saying, that
if he couldn*t manage both Wayne County AND The Electric Chairs, then he
would break the band up. He was a real sleazeball. He was also a closet
homosexual who on occasion liked to fuck trannies. He was really in to
German trannies and fucked one of my tranny friends when we were in
Berlin. He even missed the plane out of Berlin, cause he was up all
night doing drugs and fucking my tranny friend . Her name was Miss.
Alice, and she was hot! He had a big nose so she thought he had a big
cock!!! I never found out for sure cause he wasn*t my type. If he had
been, then Miss. Alice would be in Tranny Heaven now !!! |

So anyway a lot
of the material we were doing was material from some of the other bands
I had like The Backstreet Boys and Queen Elizabeth. I wrote a lot of
them myself. I play a little keyboards so I would write the songs then
hum and tinkle the tune on the keyboards until the band picked it
up! Any new songs I did when I had The Electric Chairs I wrote with
the band or just the guitar player. But some of the songs I came up
with, where I thought up the entire song, arrangement etc. myself, I
got full credit on. The Electric Chairs were really just a backup
band for me and my antics! They never contributed much at all, just
gave me a lot of headaches!! They got on star trips and started
demanding all these outrageous, ridiculous things! The press only
wanted to speak to me! They were jealous, so it broke up the band!
And the drummer smoked a lot of pot, so he was paranoid and nervous all
the time! That was the second drummer for the EC.
The first Chair*s
guitarist, Gregg, was a junky and as dumb as you could come up with. I
had to fire him because he started hanging out with this junky chick,
and she was very jealous of me. Gregg played with Marianne Faithful for
a short spell, then she realized how fucked up he was, then dumped him.
Also Ray Davies of the Kinks came to see us at Dingwalls and was knocked
out by Greggs brilliant guitar playing. But then he came back to see us
another time, and Gregg was terrible! All junked out on bad junk that
his new junky girlfriend had given him! After I was forced to fire
Gregg from the band, he went all the way down. You see, I was the person
who was keeping Gregg propped up the entire time. Without me there being
really strict with him, he would do junk, and fuck everything up!~ He
had to be kept on a short lease and his junky girlfriend was as much of
a mess as he was, so he went down really fast!! I even thought he was
dead for the longest! I even dedicated my book *Man Enough To Be A
Woman* to him, cause I really did think he was a dead as a door nail!!! e County Meets The
She Wolves! And my gigs in the spring!
