Interview with Markus Allen Christopher by Omar

1.) Markus ! The Man ! You totally fucking rock dude ! Totally. I won't start this with the standard routine questions that you've answered a thousand times. Let's start out with how on earth can you sing with that powerful rasp and not lose your voice ? You do ninja vocal training ?
Dude..I don't get it either..I know that i have done 140 shows and I can still sing..Alot of people thought that i would have problems with my voice or that I would lose it after 35 to 40 shows. I was kinda wondering myself. I actually find it quite easy to sing like I do.I just wanna be the guy who people see live and go..hey that guy really does sing like the CD!

2.) And your guitar skills. Oh yeah. They rock. You're endorsed by ESP. That's awesome. Describe the defining moment in your life when you picked up a guitar and decided you would rule with it :
 
I really don't remember..it was in my mind for along time..I don't think i'm really that good..I just kinda do it. guitar is fun..as much as singing!

3.) You do some truly awesome covers. Dare I say better than the originals in some cases. You've covered AC/DC, Motley Crue, and more. Ever consider a CD of nothing but Miss Crazy covers ? I'd buy it.
 
Naaa...That kinda stuff is only something we do for the hell of it. I would rather record new original songs. Covers are always compared and people usually like the original. Maybe for some reason we would record a cover for only download..Kinda like "Looks that Kill".

4.) If I was a billionaire, and I offered you 10,000 dollars to sing "Beat It" by Michael Jackson and wear the glove, would you do it ?
 
Hell Yes!!

5.) Do you play any other instruments ?

Yeah..I play drums and bass guitar.. a little skin flute.

7.) Where do you see M!SS CRAZY in five years ?

Bigger than we are now and Touring a CD that we will have out in that time! Having some of the greatest fans in the world!! About 10 Million of them!

8.) Any plans to go outside the U.S. ?
 
Oh yes..Canada! Europe! Japan! for sure wanna hit everywhere!!!!

9.) You've played with lots of Bands in lots of areas, what is the most awesome Concert experience for you from a performance point of view ?
 
Oh Omar!!! There are way to many shows to say that! Alot of them ruled so much...Love them all..

10.) You've got tons of Fans Markus. What are some wild things Fans have done for you ?
 
Take us into their homes and and hang out with us like real people!! We have met so many people in the last year!! Everywhere we go ..We meet special people!! Look!!  We met you!

11.) Do your prefer a woman that's wild and parties everyday or a woman that is composed and parties socially ?
 
The second one...

12.) What do you do to relax when you're off your busy tour schedule ?
 
Nothing really. Sleep. Work on new songs. Try to catch up on T.V.

13.) Kim doesn't do vocals. Why not ? Can she belt a tune ? Will she soon ?
 
She actually does sing back ups on 5 or 6 songs live now..But I doubt she will ever sing lead vocals..But she can sing..I have heard her..She's pretty good..but she doesn't think so she will never do it. I would love it! You never know..She plays great piano!

14.) M!SS CRAZY is a really tight unit. The music packs a punch and the show is loaded with adrenaline. Your live shows are hard and heavy. Would you say that a good show is the equivalent to working out ?
 
For me personally..Yes..I sweat my ass off..and singing and playing guitar to our songs takes alot of energy. It is a killer work out!

15.) Your touring schedule is hectic. Damn. You've played so many places in such a short time and have many more lined up. I actually get very tired just reading your Touring Schedule. Are you still available for Booking ?
 
Yes..If you want us..get in touch with us..People can figure it out..If it is in a place where we will be..then it can work out! We try to go everywhere that people want us!!

16.) Describe M!SS CRAZY in one word without using the word CRAZY :
 
Rock!

17.) If you were NOT in a Band, any Band, at all right now, what would you be doing for a living ?
 
I don't have an answer because I am in M!SS CRAZY and this is what I do..So I don't even wanna think about that!! EVER! I play Arena Rock for a living!! My goal is to bring it back to masses!! Like KISS, AC/DC di before me!! I am along with this band making sure that we keep this music alive!!

18.) Any SHOUTOUTS to anyone in particular ?
 
Yes! To all the fans and friends we have met!! We are greatful!! Ken Kenecht at (Ronnieland records) he also runs our website!! We love you!! All the radio stations that play us!!! All the killer writers that give us great reviews!!! All our  real close friends and family!! GOD!! For helping us do what we do best!! And you Omar!! Thanks my man!!! Thanks for believing in us!
