Admitting your addiction is the first step

Jason 'Gong' Jones and CJ Pierce share a very interesting story about getting kicked out of a strip club in Dallas, which then led into a conversation about the content of their videos:

"I love metal videos. They're dark and scarey but I thought we could throw in a little nudity to spice it up from all the evil scariness. Plus we're just fixated on boobs."

Interview with Dave Williams in 2002

In February 2002 we met up with singer, Dave Williams. He talked about the Dallas metal scene, their link to The World Wrestling Federation and Ozzfest. He was in a very good mood because apparently Amsterdam is one of his favorite cities:

"Van Halen had a record called 'Balance' and they wrote a song called 'Amsterdam', talking about the Bulldog and all these cool places and I love Van Halen and for them to write about it, it's got to be a cool place. I surely was not disappointed."

On August 14, 2002 while on the Ozzfest tour in the US, Dave Williams died from cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle. According to MTV he is remembered as being 'One of Rock's Nicest'.
