INTERVIEW WITH DAVEY:
1. How long have
you been straight edge?
I have claimed the "x" for just under thirteen years.
2. How did you get into it?
I
was heavily into the punk rock scene but felt quite out of place. The self-destructive aspects of the movement did not appeal
to me, but I was very attracted to the aggression and honesty of the music. I found the drug culture not only unappealing,
but absolutely appalling. This made me feel alienated within the scene of outcasts. Then I discovered Minor Threat and realized
that there were people out there with the same interest and beliefs as my own. They called themselves Straight Edge, as I
did from that day on.
3. What keeps you on the path?
My absolute disgust of drug use.
4. Cool tour story
involving the edge.
About three or four years ago we were on tour in the deep south and had stopped at a gas station.
We all rolled out of the van into the convenience store that was run and overrun by some backwoods good ol' boys. None of
us had any straight edge gear on, none of us had any visible tattoos showing, none of us were x'ed up. Some of us were wearing
hoodies but none of them had anything to do with hardcore. As we were buying our juice and granola bars, we heard this conversation
between two locals…
"What they hell are they supposed to be?"
"They call themselves "X'ers."
"What's that
mean?"
"Well, they don't drink, smoke or do any drugs"
“Yew serious?”
"That's what I hear."
“That's
stupid, why the hell would yew do that?"
"Ya got me."
5. Worst heckling/peer pressure you ever took for being
drug free.
All of my experiences are fairly typically. Heavy mockery, people literally trying to force alcohol into me,
the classics.
6. Edgebreakers… thoughts?
With every edge that is broken it cheapens the movement. It sounds
dramatic, but it truly pains me when I find that someone I know has fallen. It makes me feel more alone. But as they say…
“if you're not now you never were.”
7. Is vegetarianism/veganism part of straight edge for you?
I
do not consume any animal products but I do not connect that to my edge. It is a natural correlation however. I certainly
would encourage anyone to explore a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle but think that to demand that of every sXe kid makes the
movement far too exclusive. I think we must begin with the betterment of humanity which would then naturally result in compassion
for animals.
8. First hardcore record you ever bought.
Minor Threat singles compilation.
9. First hardcore
show.
Seven Seconds
10. Worst mosh or stagedive injury/pit experience?
Broken nose.
11. Best show
you ever played?
It may very well have been last week at the LA Palladium.
12. Best show you ever saw?
Lollapalloza
1: Jane's Addiction, Siouxie and the Banshees, NIN… man.
13. Top 5 favorite records of all time.
Bauhaus
"Press Eject and Give Me the Tape"
The Cure "Pornography"
David Bowie "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust"
Echo
and the Bunnymen "Heaven Up Here"
The Smiths "Strangeways, Here We Come"
14. Minor Threat or 7 Seconds?
Minor
Threat.
15. Lyrics that say it all for you.
"I want to see you, hear your voice, regret the choice. Rejoice in
watching you collapse."
"Fear of failure, fear of reprimand, two big problems I've never had. I've never doubted what
I had inside."
and finally…
"A Fire Storm to Purify!"
16. Message to the youth?
Respect yourself,
respect each other
