Metal Exiles' Jeffrey Easton has issued an interview with MURDERDOLLS' Wednesday 13. The following is an excerpt:

Q: It has now been eight years since your last release. How do you think that the fans that you got the first time around will accept the Murderdolls now?

A: "I think a lot of them are gone but a lot have stayed. The ones that were there at the beginning have probably grown up as much as we have so I think it will probably still fit in their realm of what we were about. I think it was important to keep a lot of the elements of what we did in the beginning but also go way beyond that and show a different side of the band. We try to keep the sense of humor; the image is still there to a certain extent because we are not doing the same type of theme. It would have been easy to do the Murderdolls the way it was in 2002 with the same makeup and the same hair with the horror movie songs because that would be easy to do but this time we stepped out of the box. Lyrically for me this record is all over the place, there are no horror movie songs, there are more stories and personal songs which for me is a lot darker and has a much more evil element than I could ever write from a movie. I hate to use the word mature and grown up for the record but it is because back then we were in our mid 20s and now we are in our mid 30s. Things change and I have been on tour for the last 8 years and 13 for Joey so that is a lot of living off of the bus and this record is a product of that living. We got a lot of demons out with this album and we are still getting them out. This record was very important for us to do and I feel that we could have not done this album any other time."

Tour manager Sully is just trying to handle the band's extravagant rider requests at bay, but when the guys NEED something, there's no compromise. THEY NEED THIS!
