This is our second record that we recorded in 2007/8 ish. Fain left the band. Everyone left the band, basically, for one reason or another. I was forced to carry the flag alone, you know. Last man standing. Last band standing. (LAUGHS) I wrote this record with a guy named Carmine D’ Amico who’s been a friend of mine for years in Hollywood. We had Sean Davidson on drums, who moved from Ohio to join Blacklist Union. And then we had Danny Gunn on bass. He passed away... Rest In Peace. And we had Nicky Shad on rhythm guitar. We recorded this with Chris Johnson, again, and also Anthony Valli from Crazy Town, who I ended up being a songwriting partner with.

This record was a little different. Our first record we tuned to E Flat. This record we went a half-step lower, so it has a little bit more of a metal edge. There’s definitely some good songs on here. The photo shoot we did for this record was insane. We had three midgets, we had animal trainers, we had a porn star, we had a dog… I tried to create The Last Supper with all the 10 Deadly Sins. This record did fairly well. We did a couple videos... “Breaking Bread With The Devil” and “Sixty Steps Away.” I would say my favorite tracks on this probably would be, “Come Inside” and “Sixty Steps Away.” I love to sing that one. And of course, “Breaking Bread With The Devil.”

1. Breakin Bread With The Devil is about inviting the wrong people into your life. It has nothing to do with the devil, although we got banned from some stations because of the name, but they didn’t bother to ask what it meant or anything. They just assumed, and when you ASSume you make an Ass out of U and Me.
2. Wicked Love Song is about the same ol’ same ol’, you know a broken hearted song.
3. Feel Me is a song that between After The Mourning and Breaking Bread with the Devil, my first wife Tracie died. And I had an experience with my friend Billy Worth from The Lost Boys. I was living in Hollywood and he said come downstairs I have a joint for you. On the way back up the stairs of this building I heard this crying and my first instinct was, that’s Tracie crying. But I’m like, that can’t be Tracie, she’s dead. So I walk to my apartment and the fucking crying gets louder. I had this girl in my bed, and I thought, oh fuck, she’s crying. I rush to open the door, the keys drop... The fuckin’ crying gets louder. I open the door and the fucking crying stops. So then a few weeks later I’m on mushrooms, sitting in that house, and I hear the crying again. I said, Tracie what is it? If they’re telling you to go somewhere, go. I forgive you. I know you forgive me. The crying stopped and I never heard it again. So
“Feel Me” is about that.
4. Say Hello is about the birth of my son, which saved my life. With all this death, birth was a beautiful joy. “Say Hello” is a very special song. It was inspired by the Mötley record Generation Swine, which is my favorite Mötley record and is often shot down and overlooked. Tommy had a song about Brandon his son, which is a really beautiful song and I wanted to create something about my son.
5. Come Inside, of course, has the sexual innuendo, but it’s about coming inside to my heart and seeing who I really am instead of just seeing the gruff exterior and believing all the lies and rumors about me.
6. Kiss The Monkey is basically telling everyone to suck it.
7. Bleed For Me is a song I wrote about my son’s mother. We were briefly married for three months. We have a beautiful son together. We have a rough go at it, me and her.
8. Sixty Five Steps Away is about Tracie and Bianca’s graves in Hollywood Forever. It’s how many steps their graves are away from each other. It was pointed out to me that it’s 65 steps away for me, cause I’m so tall. But compared to some other people, they were like, it’s not 65 steps for me. I’m like, oh.. The video is amazing. We guerrilla shot it at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. It looks like a fuckin’ million dollar video because of that. Dylan was in it. He was just a little baby when we did that video. I love that video.
9. Liars, Cheaters & Thieves is about Hollywood, pretty much. Although, you gotta look at yourself and see if you’re doing those things in life. No matter what that is it’s just not okay. Mostly it’s about my experience in Hollywood.
10. King Of Fools is about this bass player that I had who would cry on the road in the bathroom of the RV. I’d be like, “dude, you need to chill out and smoke some weed or something”. He would call his girlfriend and be like, “Tony West is pushing drugs on me.” That’s what that’s about.
