Mike Trash and the Erotics are getting ready to depart for their most hyped up tour in the history of the band. The MSX tour sponsored by Metal Sludge will , in addition to The Erotics, also include The Teenage Casket Co. ,The Vains of Jenna and an all-star jam featuring Metal Sludge CEO And Tuff vocalist Stevie Rachelle. This will be a show not to be missed.
We here at GlamMetal.com are fuckin’ psyched about this tour. So, moments before Mr. Trash hopped aboard the rock n’ roll party bus, we caught up with him and asked him for a few q’s. Here’s what went down.
The Erotics will be playing on this summer’s MSX tour. What can fans expect from your band on this tour?
A great time from some great bands.
How did Metal Sludge get involved with the tour?
Stevie from Sludge/Tuff, will performing and the end of set each night, playing some tunes from Tuff and some other various cover tunes. He showed interest in doing this about six weeks ago, and it worked out.
The Vains of Jenna and The Teenage Casket Co. will also be on the bill. How long will each band be performing? Each around 40 min. We play for 50, then we do the "encore jam"
You've toured with The Teenage Casket Co a few times. What is it that you like so much about that band?
Besides that they have great tunes and are a great live band, they're a lot of fun to hang out with, and we get into a lot of trouble together. Trouble, in which I'm not at liberty to discuss.
You finished an Europe tour a few months ago. What were some of the highlights of the tour?
This was our 2nd. time touring there, this time we reached a new level especially in the UK.
What are the bands future recording plans?
The end of July, in hopes of a fall release.
What has been the highlight of 2006 for you so far?
So far, the wole year has been a highlight.
The Erotics have had many line-up changes over the years. Do you think that the current line-up of Johhny, Billy and you will remain intact for awhile?
Most of those members left on their own, few were fired. Yes, Billy and Johnny will be around for quite a while.
You've talked about adding another guitarist, are you still interested in doing that?
I love the sound of 2 guitarist, and usually don't care for 3 piece bands. But something really works for us as a "power trio", everybody who see's us, agrees. A few months back, Ronnie Sweetheart(the Throbs) was at our gig at the Continental in New York, and he compared it to the Jimi Hendrix Experience, But a Sleazier version, haha!
What kind of impact has myspace had on the popularity of the band?
I'm sure it's helped somewhat, it's easier for people for people to find out the latest info about you. Myspace is also an evil instrument. People rarely leave their computer screne and go out to you shows, because they'd rather read your blog about it the next day, hahha!
The Erotics were recently featured in Classic Rock Magazine. Did you get any major label interest from that?
We were in the May and June issues of Classic Rock, not only did it blow up our popularity in the UK/Europe, it also generated some label interest. What most people don't realize is that we put out our last 2 cd's out on our own, that was our choice. Doing it ourselves brought up to the next level.
Do you even give a shit anymore about getting signed?
Not really, but if the right label came along, we'd definitely listen to what they have to say.
What is the most rock n' roll item that you will be packing in your suitcase for the MSX tour?
My Guitar.
The Gee-tar is pretty rock n’ roll. But I really thought that you were going to say a gross of condoms and a case of JD. But, now that you don't drink anymore, is it still as fun touring?
I stopped drinking for over 14 months, I now have a drink once in a while. I have it under control, but if I get back to my old ways again, I'll go back on the wagon for a while.
Sounds like it’s going to be a FUN TOUR. For more info on the Erotics, check out

Hey Mike,
I really dig your guitar sound and style. Who were some of your influences? How often did you practice when you were first starting out? When can we expect to see a new Erotics CD?
Thanks,
GlamStar
Dear GlamStar,
Thanks, I appreciate that you dig my guitar playing and style. My early influences are the usual supects, Ace Frehley, Angus Young, Randy Rhodes.
Mainy guitarist with "Chuck Berry-ish" style. When I first started playing guitar, back in December of '82. I practiced for hours on end, almost every day.
As for the new Erotics cd, we're still deciding when to put that out.

to trash,
I am having a little problem with starting a band. I play bass and I’m wanting to start a glam band like Motley Crue cross with the Murderdolls but I can’t seem to find anyone that is wanting to try with me. It’s not that I suck at bass (but I'm am not the best) it’s just finding the people with the same taste in music. I have tired finding people at local shows and at the Motley Crue concert back on March 15 but still no luck. I knew it would be hard to start cuz I am 16 and I was hoping to try and find people the same age but I didn't think it would be this hard. What should my next step be?
Glam till the end Bradlle H.
Dear Brandle H.
There's many ways to find the right people, you can covert and influence your peers into sharing your vision, and form a band with them. Also, finding the right people or situation usually happens when you least expect it.

dear trash,
its bloodnutt here from the Aussie side of the crypt, i'm having a few problems with promoting a UK band i've grown to love.they aren't glam-metal but they are metal just the same. torsohorse is the name of em, but i'm finding it hard to get the message across. i've managed to get em on the radio once but that was at mirds-fart in the morning. i've lead them onto the nation-wide TV station here but nothing has happened. it annoys the living fuck thru me that none on the god-forsaken fucking earth has heard of em n in my efforts . . . none is still paying attention. coming from a band members point of view how can i legally promote them without getting in serious shit. i have thought of painting a big banner n cerment glueing it to the side of a building so fuckers can't take it down really easy, but if me n my street-teamers got caught then we would be in serious shit. it would make news headlines but i think my mug-shot on the tube wouldn't go down well on my resume'. i need some serious fucking help here coz it sucks being the only guy in australia that has heard of em.
hail satan!!!
bloodnutt
Dear blood nut,
There's many ways to promote this band that you love, if they have a demo or a full length release, try to get as many zines as possible to review it, but it's a good idea to send it to the ones that are in the genre of the band.
Also, try to get local/weekly music papers to review a a show, or at least write about the show in advance.
Another way to get the word out is have you and your street team give out buttons/stickers/cd samplers etc. at major Metal show in your area.
Hope these ideas help.
Trash!
March 30
hey mike
I have big predicament promote a lot of local bands and I'm a groupie...well the singer/bass player of the one band is an animal in bed and is one of the only men I've ever been with that can please me in every way and make me cum...he does EVERYTHING I like...but here's the problem: he's engaged...she doesn't like me but I honestly think she doesn't know we're fucking around...he says he loves her and has tried to talk to her about having a three some so she gets her jolly's too, but she fucking hates my guts...my experiences as a groupie I’ve learned don't fall in love, they don't want love...but I mean I NEVER feel guilty fucking band members, so why when I'm with him do I feel guilty?!...he loves her, but he always complains that she doesn't give him head or anal...I have an oral fixation so it's all good to me....know what I mean...any advice?
Dear Lilly,
Having a threesome would have been the obvious choice, but if she hates your guts, I guess that's out of the question. Maybe you're starting feel guilty because maybe you're starting to develop feelings for this person, or be cause he lover her. Oral fixation huh?, ever consider moving to upstate NY?
March 24
how can you have the advice no one else has the balls to give when you have no balls? you guys are a walking joke
Gerri Anne
No, balls huh? That’s funny, because it looks to me like they're bouncing on your chin honey!
March 19
So what exactly does it take to get your pants? Emily L.
Emily, I like chicks that make eye contact with me or even just look in my direction.
Dec 2, 2004
Trash,
I need some advice from you. You see....my situation is that there is this girl who is a real bitch, she hangs at this bar I occasionally go to and her and I do not get along . She has pissed me off on more then one occasion. I have thought about putting laxatives in her drink.
What do you think??
~Twisted
Dear Twisted,
If this is a real bitch as you say she is, then I think putting laxatives in hew drink is a great idea. Let me suggest using horse laxatives!!!
(ed note:) Why can we all just get along? Try something new for the holidays. Ask her out on a date, go see the Indigo Girls or even the Trans-Sibierian Orchestra, it’s such an uplifting show. Maybe she's just jealous of your good looks and wit. We all know that you’re the better looking and smarter one. And what would having her stink up the bathroom really solve.

Mike,
Recently I ended up going home with this french girl. We were both wasted, and apparently she was surfing the crimson wave. I am not opposed to fucking a girl while she is on her period, but it got all over my sheets. Is there any way to clean them, or should I just throw them away?
JR, Chatanooga, TN
Dear JR,
The Erotics need a new back drop. Send the sheets to us!!!!

Dear Mr. Trash,
In my group of friends I’m know as the "chick with the best racist jokes". I guess its not bad, People always laugh at party’s and get-togethers, but I feel like maybe its wrong. I’m not racist at all I just think its funny. Well I've recently moved and my neighbor happens to be your average "Thug". When ever he comes to my door I get all weird and fidgety. Like he knows or something. What should I do?
Please Help
-You average white girl.
Dear, average white girl. Maybe you should answer your door in a white hood, or hang a noose from the tree outside your house. This way he'll know for sure. Just kidding, what your experiencing is what they call "White Guilt". He probably knows nothing about your jokes at parties, and I wouldn't worry about it. Thugs are people too!!!!
10/08/04
Dear Mike..
I recently was out partying with my friends and got arrested for DWI...While I was locked up downtown I had my sneakers stolen, and because I look like the guy who rode on the back of the motorcycle in "Road Warrior" I came dangerously close to being someone's bitch...They even started calling me "Sugar"...
I really love being a blond but I think this maybe a problem in the future because I'm a real problem drinker and I will probably be locked up again..
What should I do??Stay cute and blond and chance being Butt Raped OR dye my hair Black and maybe divert attention???...
Help!
Confused
Dear Sugar,
If you really look like the bitch from "Road Warrior" I'd even ass rape you. It's time to dye your hair a darker color, because only fags have blond hair.
09/21/2004
Dear Mike,
I see that you're really good at helping people with their problems. Hopefully you can help me with this one. My boyfriend and I have have been dating for nearly six months now. I have yet to have an orgasm with him so far. Everytime we have sex, I pretend to have one. How do I tell him to do it right, without hurting his feelings? Jackie
Dear Jackie: This is a tough one. I agree you don't want to hurt his feelings, try to be honest without doing so. Maybe suggest different ways, or positions for what works for you. If all else fails, use a vibrator!
07/08/2004
dear trashter,
So i heard about your advice column and was relieved that i can finally ask someone about my issues. I know that you would understand me just as much as mr. rogers. So here's my question for you: why is it that i can meet some dude, talk to him for a month, then turns crazy on me? They always get all pissy and emo about me not calling them enough and being too cold to their needs and shit, and why would i want to have sex with some creap ass fucker who claims me to be his dear lady yet doesn't even like my coat? Do you know where i'm coming from mike? I work well with vampires and witches, but emo obsessive creaps somehow find me everywhere i go, they stalk me at shows, call me 7 times a day and write these crazy e-mails dictating how i'm disrespecting and ruining our (inexistant) relationship. What do you advise?
Dear, Wouldn't You Like To Know, Emo Boys Suck, if fact Emo just plain sucks. And if he doesn't like you coat, then forget about it. You need to find yourself a Bad Boy.
05/01/04
Hey Mike,
Again....hypothetically speaking of course. Lets say I'm fucking my drummers wife Megan and she keeps calling me Steve but my name is Dave and my drummers name is Sal. Should I tell Sal I'm pounded his ol' lady again but think she's also fucking some low-life named Steve? This is a tricky one, cause they seem so happy. Well at least she seems happy. What would you do Mike?
Tequila Dave
Dave, Don'tcha hate when that happens? Steve just asked me for the same advice, but she calls him Stan. I suggest you guys all tag-team her, this way she will get everybody's name right!
04/15/04I
got a question for ya......
How much tequila in CC's can I shoot before my heart stops?
Also.....
Hypothetically speaking, let's say I was on 80mg of methadone....how many bags of heroin is that the equivalent to???? These cocksuckers at the program never tell you the truth!!!
Thanks
Tequila
Tequila- studies show doses should vary. Do you have an addiction with cocaine? Frequent Hookers? The mean methodone dose of the 264 eligible participants show this bivariate analysis, higher methodone dose for longer time on methodone(p=0.02), injecting cocaine in the last 6 months(101.p=0.039), having paid for sex in the last 6 moths(p<0.001). My advice is to thoroughly mix up an 8ball into 200 CC's of Cuervo, shoot it, then fuck a hooker who is a hemophiliac. This should do your heart just fine. Please do this at our next record-release party so we can get some good press.
Mike!
I'm 34 years old, male, major SMF, been into metal all my life, I live in small Canadian Town, Where have all the Metal girls gone? When I was younger, they were everywhere, they can't all have moved, I need help? The regular women can't handle a guy like me. I'm a steel worker and can'tr move! Any advice?
Rob,
the metal chicks are still around, the next time a hard rock/metal concert comes close to your area, try going. There's always a ton of metal chicks that usually go. Especially if it's at a bar/club. I hope this helps!
Hey Mike,
Hope you had a happy holidays and that all is well. I've got something for your advice column...
I’ve got a good friend who’s cool as shit but man, when he drinks he gets fruity. When he gets too friendly you just have to tell him to fuck off once and he won’t bother you for the rest of the night. The problem is that he pulls this shit practically every time we hang out (and not just on me either). I'd cut him off, but like I said he's a good friend and a completely different person when he doesn't drink. I think that's why other people haven't been too confrontational about it either. What would you do to get the point across in this situation?
-Rob
Dear Rob,
Your friend needs to either stop drinking or come out of the closet. You should confront him if it continues.
Hey,
here is the situation. I really wanna have a threesome w/my girlfriend with my best friend. Him and I have done it in the past with other chicks, but I'm worried that letting my best friend sleep with my girlfriend will kinda swing a wrecking ball in our relationship with my girlfriend. She doesn't think it will, but I do...so not really sure what do, thanks Kris
I advise you to follow your gut feeling. If you think it will ruin your relationship, don't do it.
Hi..
I recently went out, Drank too much and woke up with an undersirable woman with no teeth...About 2 days later..My penis became drippy and smelly...What should I do?
Stan
Dear Stan,
Instead you should have slept with a whole bar-full of women with no teeth, the at least you'd have a full set. Go see a doctor about your penis. Are you from Renselear?
TRASH,
personal but unique question. Are there enough hotties for me The Uncle Milky to handle up in your home state. You can replay also to motormags log when you are done.
I Hope there are, cauzz the milky is ready to invade ALBANY territory, actualy...here is the question....If you broke up with a girl, three years ago because you found her cheating on you, can you now fuck the shit out of her 36 DD girl friend that lives in Albany?
UNCLE MILKY sorry for the long dramatic overview.
First off, I don't even wanna you why they call you Uncle Milky. You should've banged her friend 3 years ago, but I guess it's better late then never. It looks like justice will be served soon enough!
Mike,
Dude, I have a friend who's wife left him because he was cheating. Well, let me explain, he was having cyber sex with this chick online. I think it's a bit freaky, I can't believe he even told me he was doing this, but is that really considered cheating or was his wife, who was a bitch anyways, just looking for a way out?
Thanks,
Adam
Dear Adam,
I wouldn't personally call cyber sex cheating, but that's my opinion. If his wife is a bitch as you say, than she was most likely looking for a way out!
Mike
Where can I get Lethal Lipstick videos? When will Lethal Lipstick release cds? When will Lethal Lipstick do a re-union gig?
John T. NYC
Dear John,
I'm so busy in Erotic land right now, haven't you been paying attention? We're gonna be the next Guns N Roses! But I'll get in contact with guys from Lethal, I think a one off gig would be a blast!
Mike,
I suffer from Spontaneous Masturbation Syndrome (SMS). I occasionally grow a rock hard cock and feel an irresistible urge to jack off. My doctor says it is very rare and there is no cure. What I need advice on is a career. I was thinking of becoming a Rock Star like you! I know Jim Morrison used to whip his shit out on stage and I hear you have been known to show the "Mangina". This looks like the right line of work for me. Can you help me?
Matt M.
Dear SMS, or should I say SMF....
I suggest you learn to play a musical instrument. That should keep your hands pre occupied! You don't want to end up like a "Rock Star" like me, my life is boring...Nothing but Sex, Booze, and Bingo!
Mike,
I am a 35 year old business man married with children. My job has me
traveling 4 days a week. I have been hanging out at a local Karaoke bar at night and I don't know what it is but I seem to have all kinds of opportunities to fuck hot young girls from there. I have been getting more ass then a toilet seat! Last night it was a sexy 20 year old with a great body. She was all over me. How am I supposed to handle this kind of temptation? I am only human.
Bullgod
Dear Bullgod,
Getting more ass than a toilet seat will also get you crabs. Do what Al Bundy would do...Go to Hooters!
My friend, who will be writing in, and I have a bitch of a boss who is about 32 and has a fairly hot body. She is also a slut which I find to be a very admirable trait. We both hate her but we discussing what we woulddo if we had a chance to bang her. I say give it to her hard like thewhore she is and tell her what a whore she is when we're are done. Shewill love it! My friend thinks I am nuts for even thinking of banging her.What should we do?
Eric.
Dear Eric,
Sluts are great, what would the world be with-out them? If she's a bitch with hot body, I suggest that you put a bag over her head, and FUCK HER LIKE THE WHORE THAT SHE IS! Her name wouldn't be Celeste by any chance?
I am responding to Eric's outrageous comments. That bitch isn't even worth an angry slam. Ho's are one thing, and believe me I love 'em, but she is in her own class. There are some lines you don't cross.
Quique
Dear Quique,
If she's a horrible human being as you claim, then Karma will get her in the end, and maybe a wonderful STD as well!
Hey Mike,
My boyfriend keeps pressuring me to have anal sex. I want to please him, but I heard it can be quite painful and unpleasant. What should I do.
Dear Exit Only,
Don't knock it, until you try it. If you need a few practice runs before you try with your boyfriend, give me a call. I wouldn't enjoy it at all, but I'm here to help.
Dear Mike,
I really want to make out with this rock star. I did once already, but I know he has a really sweet girlfriend. I think she messes around,too. Is that any justification?
Yours,
a hedonist
Dear Hedonist,
I'd find out for sure if his really sweet girlfriend messes around. If she does, then I suggest a threesome. This way everybody is happy. That sounds like justification to me!!!
My co-worker keeps eating egg sandwiches and is always saying phrases like "Pipe down" and "what the devil". He is hated in the office. What is a good way of getting him fired!!!!
This sounds like a disturbed individual, I'll bet anything that he's a pervert and likes to look at porn on his computer at work. If I were you I'd check his main frame when he's not around, and if my hunch is right, then I suggest you report him to your supervisor. That should get him fired.
Hey Mike,
I've been married for a few years, I love my wife so much. But, since we got married, she just doesn't spend any quality time going down south. What gives, is there some chemical in wedding cake that prevents chicks from using their oral skills once they get married?
Dear, Orally Deprived:
There's no chemical that in wedding cakes, but people like Oprah are to blame! She probably gave great oral skills in the beginning just to trap you into marriage. I suggest a quick divorce and get remarried (preferably to a porn star).
