Exquisite Dominion: Photos With Celebrities Over The Years


This photo was done during an interview with Jyrki 69 of The 69 Eyes, and something that I least expected came out of this interview and show. The vocalist said the song, Christina Death was about me and when I went to L.A. to visit Rozz Willams' final resting place with the surviving members of Christian Death and Rozznet. Everything about the song mirrors everything about that visit, then later I actually was invited to join him on the rest of his tour.
      As some of you know from reading my online journals, I will write for the Rome, Italy, based magazine Chain DLK, and this particular interview caught the eye of a website called Blood And Gasoline, linked up by Shelly for blood and gasoline.co.uk. Jyrki gave me the nickname Christina Death when I did the interview with him at The House of Blues in Chicago, Illinois, on March 12, 2006, for moi. See the interview on Bloodandgasoline.co.uk, for the cross referrence to this.



Over the years I managed to interview a number of bands and individuals within the realms of indeadstrial rock, Elektro, Death Rock, Gothic, and horror. One of the pictures on the site is with Christian Death's Rozz Williams, this picture was taken years ago but somehow he is still looking down from where ever he is.
     Since 1991, I've been interviewing bands and writers. I delevoped a bond with a few of the people I interviewed in some way. So in that sense I've been a fixture in the Gothic community around the Chicago area. Some of those interviews that are widely known are the ones conducted of Rozz Williams, Gitane Demone, and the rest of Shadow Project and that is linked up by Haloes for Rozznet.com.


Along with Rozz Williams of Christian Death, I was also photographed with the keyboard player as seen here, Gitane Demone. If you want to know more about her, this would be her Official Website.


Some of you might ask who this lady is, for those of you who are involved with the Punk/Gothic Subculture in the Chicago area. This lady is none other than Patricia Morrison of the punk band, The Damned. She's in charge of the bass abuse in the band -- this is the interview for the band on Chain D.L.K.

Photographed from left to right: Christina Death, October 2006 Playboy Magazine Model, Forbidden, and the owner of North American Phonograph Company, Shawn Borri at Zero Gravity. This is a dance club in Naperville, Illinois.


Wonder who this band is? Well if you're not involved with the Gothic Subculture, they're called The Awakening. This person I am photographed with is the vocalist for the band.



One of the few other bands I was fortunate to hang out with and interview, this is Chicago's own Kill Hannah. Want to learn more about this one? Click on their website or look them up on Myspace.com.
      This band is one of the most recent inteviews I've done, now I am just waiting for a friend of mine to transcribe this one since it was with only one of the members. It wasn't that long because the whole band was traveling aroung at the time with a temprature of 104. I scored this one upon doing the interview with Jyrki 69 of The 69 Eyes. I went to L.A. for their appearence on Carson Daly's new gig, Last Call With Carson Daly. Bam was one of the guests and Daly co-owns a record label with him.


"I have such sights to show you," --- HELLRAISER

That now frightening line is made famous by the pen of author Clive Barker, based on his novel The Hellbound Heart. I interviewed Mr. Barker for Lost Souls Magazine: Volume One, Issue Twelve, and it was transcribed by Horror Author, Kimberly Steele. I was then about twenty-eight years old when this one happened.
       One of the books I own personally by him is the collection The Books Of Blood. I do read a lot of horror, just that it is hard to keep track of all the up and coming authors because there are so many. I interviewed Clive in 1998 for both his own magazine.


Since a friend of mine told me that since I met the king of Death Rock, it was time that I met the queen. Who he was referring to is this lady right here, Dinah Cancer, of the Death Rock band 45 Grave. This is her personal myspace and her band is linked from there.


Now if you were either teen in the 1980s or in your early twenties, you'll know who A Flock of Seagulls are. This is their vocalist, Mike Score. And those of you who own Grand Theft Auto: Vice City he did the original music score for the controversial video game. (No pun intended. The other room mate plays this game all the time on Playstation 2.) This would be an interview I conducted with Michael Score back in 1999.
