Well kids, here we have the second interview with The "Great" Kat. You might remember me stating that this was going to be a 3 part interview. I tried for the third time through e-mail and had asked her questions concerning her attitude problem with certain people, ‘zines, and the metal scene in general. Needless to say, she never responded, so this is going to be my last interview with The "Great" Kat. In case your wondering who Tony is, I went under a different name and tried acting more "awake" for her to see if I could actually get somewhere with her. As you will read, no luck. I hope you enjoy.

The Outcast: Yeah, is the "Great" Kat there?

Kat: This is.

The Outcast: Yeah, this is Tony from Extreme ‘zine magazine.

Kat: Yeah, what’s up?

The Outcast: Ah, not much, how ya doin’?

Kat: Well what’s up, what’s going on?

The Outcast: Not much.

Kat: Well what do you want?

The Outcast: I want an interview.

Kat: Okay, so go, what are the questions?

The Outcast: When did The "Great" Kat come into existence? (At this point I thought I was actually going to accomplish the interview.)

Kat: When did the "Great" Kat.. Well first of all, my first question to you is this. Have you heard the "Guitar Goddess" CD?

The Outcast: Yes, I sure have.

Kat: How did it make you feel?

The Outcast: Very extreme. (How did I ever keep from laughing?)

Kat: Why?

The Outcast: Because of the way you play.

Kat: So what did it do for you?

The Outcast: What did it do for me? (It totally changed my life.)

Kat: Yeah.

The Outcast: Um, well... (What was I supposed to say?)

Kat: What’s the difference between my music and any other music? What kind of music do you listen to?

The Outcast: I listen to a lot of styles, but mainly metal.

Kat: Like what?

The Outcast: Death metal, speed, etc...

Kat: Like what bands?

The Outcast: Death, Obituary, Kreator, Skyclad, etc.

Kat: What’s the difference between The "Great" Kat.. (She talked so fast here that I couldn’t understand it on the tape.).. genius and that shit?

The Outcast: Um, you play with a violin and you have more of a classical influence.

Kat: Okay, but what’s the difference of how it makes you feel? The "Great" Kat is taking classical music, cyber driving it, energizing it, and bringing it to your fucking brain. What are they doing?

The Outcast: Actually, that brings up a question....

Kat: I want to know what the difference is. See, what’s your name again?

The Outcast: Tony.

Kat: If you can’t explain to your readers there.. what city is this?

The Outcast: Springfield, IL.

Kat: If you can’t explain to your readers in Springfield and the rest of the country what the difference is between my extreme guitar virtuosity, shredding violin genius and cyberspeed masterpiece classical unbelievable powerful music and the rest of the morons, drug inducing, masturbating inducing, be a looser, be a jerkoff, what the difference is. If you can’t explain it, then they’re not going to understand it, because obviously my 180 IQ is not getting into some of those fuckers in Springfiled, THEY MUST WAKE UP! You explain it to them.

The Outcast: Um, but my opinion and your opinion...

Kat: No, I want your opinjmy time.

The Outcast: Then what’s the point of the whole interview then if... (she never lets me finish my sentences.)

Kat: What’s the point to the interview? You don’t get it? The point of the interview, and I’m going to answer you one question because obviously you don’t understand. The point of the interview is one simple point, TO WAKE YOU UP! If I’m not waking you up, then you’re too stupid to understand cyberspeed, which means your readers are way below that. So they won’t get it in a thousand years. If I’m dealing with you who’s in the 16th century, you’re readers are in the 13th century. So I must wake you up first! Now, have you woken up?

The Outcast: I’m wide awake, I’m fine.

Kat: Then what’s the difference? When you answer my question, we’ll move on.

The Outcast: The difference between your music and the..

Kat: And the rest of the garbage out there that encourages you to be a suicidal loser.

The Outcast: You think I’m a suicidal loser?

Kat: It encourages everybody to be a suicidal loser. Are you a graduate violin virtuoso, guitar virtuoso, systematically changing the face of classical music like I am? Because if you are man, tell me and I’ll have respect for it.

The Outcast: No, I’m sure not.

Kat: Well, no one else is doing what I’m doing, so I have respect for what I’m doing. After six years at the Julliard School, graduating with honors, going into this bullshit metal shit (Then why are you involved in the metal scene? - 2004 - Mike) where the average IQ is a 20, and having to wake up everybody that’s sitting around masturbating, taking drugs, drinking, smoking, and letting the world go by, that’s the mentality I have to deal with, so when so when you understand...

The Outcast: Are you stating you’re better than everyone else?

Kat: What do you think?

The Outcast: Sounds like it to me.

Kat: Do you think I’m better than everybody?

The Outcast: I believe everyone is born with the same potential. It's just the way you choose to live your life.

Kat: So in other words, I’m the same as the asshole next door who jerks off (Hopefully she doesn’t have to jerk-off. - Mike), drinking a beer, smoking, who didn’t go through the vicious pain of practicing 12 hrs a day since they were 7 years old? (Boo hoo, cry me a river. - Mike) They didn’t do that. They were out playing with their friends and getting high. No, they didn’t go through thousands of auditions, and go through all that pain. They didn’t go through all the abuse and get attacked, get threatened because they were female. So you think they’re the same as me, that’s a massive insult to me!

The Outcast: So you don’t think that they have the same.. (She never let’s me finish!!!!!)

Kat: Do you think that is the same as to what I’m doing?

The Outcast: To what you’re doing?

Kat: If you think they’re equal to me, then you’re living in a religious world.

The Outcast: Religious world?

Kat: In a religious world where God says everyone is created equal. Everyone is created in their own way, the way they want to create it. (Wasn’t that the exact same thing I said previously? - 2004 - Mike) If I want to be a genius it’s because I’m working my balls off (Yes folks, she just said she had balls. - Mike), 24 hours a day to be it, okay, now if you Tony, in Extreme ‘zine magazine, want to get out there and be a genius and be better than the rest of the world, then you can do it. (Aren’t I already? He, he - Mike) If you don’t want to do it and want to say you’re just as equal as the rest of the loser’s, then that’s what you will be. That’s the plain fact, if you can’t understand that, you’re an idiot!

The Outcast: You like calling a lot of people idiots don’t you?

Kat: And you like being a fucking idiot, right? (Insane laughter, I couldn’t believe this woman. - Mike) Here’s a question and you’re going to answer the question, otherwise you’re making fun of my high genius and my outstanding music. Here’s the question; what is the difference between my cyberdriving, energizing music and the rest of the worlds drugged out, masturbating shit? What’s the difference?

The Outcast: Your "music" is faster and a lot shorter.

Kat: No, you don’t get it. I’m going to explain to you what the difference is. Classical music is compressed music, do you listen to classical?

The Outcast: Nope.

Kat: Why not?

The Outcast: I’ve never found interest in it.

Kat: YOU’RE AN IDIOT! You don’t listen to Beethoven?

The Outcast: No.

Kat: Man, that just shows the mentality you have. First of all, Beethoven...what your problem is, is that you grew up in a family or in a school or your friends say that classical music is boring, because they’re trained to listen to Prong or shit like that, that is absolutely boring alright. Now, what you have to do, you’re going to buy Beethoven’s CD, choose one song, put it on for 3 seconds and then you’re going to turn it off. Then you’re going to educate your brain little by little. Put it on for another 3 seconds, and I dare you, I fucking dare you, if that doesn’t energize your brain more than anything else out there, then you can personally call me and tell me I’m wrong, and that would be a lie, because Beethoven, the complexity, the power, the genius, the viciousness, is way more vicious than any bullshit death garbage that you listen to. Beethoven is a lot more brain exciting. See, you’re used to listening to garbage that makes you want to be a loser. I’m used to listening to stuff like Beethoven, Mozart, stuff that Einstein listened to man. I bet Einstein didn’t listen to that garbage you’re used to listening to. People that are geniuses listen to mind inducing genius stuff. Do you understand what the difference is?

The Outcast: I understand what the difference is... (I was truly starting to get pissed off. - Mike)

Kat: "Blah, blah, blah.." (Couldn’t understand what she said. - Mike)

The Outcast: Excuse me?

Kat: WAKE UP! www.greatkat.com, have you seen the web-site?

The Outcast: No, I sure haven’t.

Kat: Why not?

The Outcast: The only access I have to a computer is my friends and I...

Kat: Ah, give me a break Tony. I hate to tell you and I know you’re going to be massively insulted, but until you get a computer, you’re a moron, simple as that. You’re not understanding where I’m coming from, that’s why we’re fighting here. All this crap, doing a phone interview is an asshole lie. (What? - Mike) 90% of my interviews are on e-mail at this point. Because you’re not updated enough, and not intelligent enough to get out there and compete against the 4 year old Japanese that are on computers right now, that means you’re an idiot and you’re pretty much wasting my time. Here’s what we’re going to do. You’re going to check out the web-site, if you want more details, you can e-mail me.

The Outcast: Well, can I ask you a question?

Kat: What?

The Outcast: How come you’re so narrow minded?

Kat: You’re narrow minded! Until you get into the 21st century with the information super highway, you’re totally fucking narrow minded. You have no clue to what I’m talking about man. You could go on the internet and check out the millions and millions of bytes and information of web sites, and it’s pathetic you don’t you don’t even have a web-site yourself. Do you know how many millions of web-‘zines that are out there competing with you and blowing you away because they have web-sites? You make me sick. Don’t give me any bull about narrow mindedness. Go get your own web-site like I have, then we’ll talk narrow minded, alright?

The Outcast: You have a one sided view on things.

Kat: Yeah, and my side is right, because my side is the side of the 21st century, not the 16th century and I have to put up with all you idiots.

The Outcast: Man, fu... (click)

2004 comments:

As you may have noticed, I wasn’t even able to get a cuss word in. She hung up on me right before I was able to finish my anger-filled comment. I was never able to get a word in and she never let me finish the questions I wanted to ask. Has everyone else out there whom has interviewed her had this problem with Mrs. Psycho-speed-freak, or just me? What really confuses me about her is the cover to "Bloody Vivaldi" where she is bathed in blood. To me that picture is promoting death and maybe even suicide, things, according to the "interview", she was against. I’m not really sure if this "interview" truly represents her mentality, or how she views the world, or the metal scene, but if all of these comments/remarks about everything we discussed are truly who she is, then the only thing I have left to say about her is that she must have lost her mind at Julliard, at an early age, trying to be #1, but if this is all just her gimmick as an entertainer, then.. as I always say, to each their own.
