Q&A with Boston`s aggressive punk/rock/metal rockers Mongrel`s Adam Savage on life in general:



How are you doing?
I'm good thanks. I actually got some sleep finally and have coffee and nicotine flowing in my system so I can't complain.

Things have been busy here with finishing up the mastering of the upcoming new album, playing shows, taking care of band business, the day job, and working on a basement remodeling project.

A normal day in the life of Adam Savage?
What's a normal day?  LOL - typically its lots of coffee, not much sleep, taking care of band business and talking with fans, and could also contain playing a show, band practice, day job, etc.

Best time of your life?
Being on tour.

Biggest fuck up?
I don't have a lot of regrets typically. I suppose being to trusting of people I shouldn't have been at times.

Iced Coffee

The Bronx, NIN, mastering tests of the new Mongrel album

On screen?
Natural Born Killers, Family Guy, Robot Chicken, CNN, Clerks, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Sports?
I used to watch pro-wrestling. I don't follow any sports though.

Tattoos?
I have a couple. I appreciate the art form.

Groupies?
Nothing wrong with anyone who enjoys your music and supports your band.

Transport?
A Ford Freestyle  (its like a station wagon meets an SUV)

Playing CBGB's before they closed with our friends in Trashlight Vision and Blitzkid

Vices of choice?
Caffeine, Nicotine, Sex

Who do you respect the most?
Henry Rollins, Ian MacKaye (Fugazi), Trent Reznor

What do you appreciate the most in your friends?
Loyalty and honesty

What does your friends appreciate the most in you?
Hopefully loyalty, honesty, and willingness to be there for them when needed.

State of the world today?
To keep it brief, it's pretty fucked up, though I suppose it would be even worse if Bush/Cheney was still in office.

What will we see & hear of Adam Savage & Mongrel in 2010?
We will be releasing our new full length album "This Means War" sometime in June/July and expect to do more extensive touring both in the US and in the UK/Germany to support it.
