XANDER ALBANO, 21, FOREVER CURSED- SCREAMS,VOCALS,GUITAR, BISEXUAL, SELFCENTERED Hello, why don't we start off with you telling us a little bit about yourself. Just the basics. “Uhh... My name is Xander John Albano. I scream, sing, and play guitar in the band forever cursed. I'm twenty one years old, I'm single, and I'm bisexual.” Ah, I know that band. You're quite new to touring, although you seem to be in a favorite band. Does that inflate your ego a bit? “I already have an inflated ego, love. I could care less what other people think of me. I mean look at me. I wear black all the time, war paint is all over me... I love it. I'm a cocky bastard. I love this type of stuff. Touring is fun. I can't get enough of it, and I can't wait to tour even more.” Good to know that you love the music. Now, three words that describe yourself and why. “The first word has to be bi-polar. Sometimes I can be the most outgoing, sweetest guy you ever met. Opening doors for ladies, smiling sweetly as they walk though, all that sappy shit. Then, I don't know what happens, if something minor gets me into a bad mood, or for god sakes, I just wake up, my mood turns. I turn into this bitch of a person who could really care less about other people. I don't care about anything, and I'm willing to drag people down with me. Misery loves company, right? I guess a good word would be depressed too. I mean, look at me. I'm cloaked in black and refuse to wear bright colors. My mom killed herself on my 9th birthday because of my dad walking out on us, and I never really got over it. I was always an upset kid with black all over. Now its a bit more extreme with the styled hair and black war paint, but I like it. I guess I was a goth in school or something. I don't like stereotypes though. So unoriginal. Last word would be a hidden nerd. I love crap like batman and superman, although spiderman is the best super hero in my eyes. If I'm bored, and feel like a nerd, I'll even play those retarded online games for a bit, although I'm not insane over them. I'm just a closet nerd, I suppose.” You say your mom died when your dad walked out, who did you live with until you were allowed to get out of the house? “My uncle had been there, and he freely took me. He loves me, and supports me every step of the way, unlike my father had been. He saw the oddness in me, and screamed at me, telling me to not do anything out of line. He wanted me to be the perfect star son, but I never ever wanted to be that. I rather roam around a graveyard in the middle of night then be the football star. Although I did like attention, I liked it more getting scolded, or reprimanded. So I was always a bit of a trouble maker. My Uncle is even supportive now, though. He doesn't care that I look like some sort of freak who just crawled out of a coffin or something.” Favorite thing about being on tour? Worst thing about being on tour? “My favorite thing would have to be being able to be with my band mates 24/7. they are most like me, and we love each other. Being with each other and sleeping in bunks and all that shit is the best thing in the world. I love it. Although, I don't like the drama that comes along. Yeah, I'm allowed to cause drama with people, im allowed to screw around, but not anyone else. They don't know how to do it right. People suck nowadays.” You're rather self-centered, aren't you? “You didn't notice that the first time? I have a huge ego, but a low self esteem and I hate people. So its basically like I could careless about shit. I don't wanna care about anyone but myself and those close. I'm a bit hypocritical but I don't give a fuck.” Thank you for answering my questions, Xander, hopefully we can do this again. “Yeah, hopefully not.” FLEA, 15, FLEASWORLD@AOL.COM OR AIM, FLEASWORLD |
