Music4autobahns Interview: Matt Skiba (Alkaline Trio)

[Maczilla96]

I just saw Alkaline Trio open up for My Chemical Romance and blink-182 last night at the Honda Civic Tour. It was amazing but the sad part was that Matt Skiba did refer to people getting pretzels at their set just like in this interview which totally bummed me out because the venue wasn't even half full. Great show though.

Matt and Derek are card carrying members of the Church Of Satan, but as Matt said in the Complete Control Radio interview (part 2), he does not believe in Satan or god in a biblical sense, he believes in Satan and god inside people, meaning EVERYONE has good and evil in them. He said he believes in a lot of the things Anton LaVey taught (like people doing something bad, then apologizing, then doing it again), but he considers himself Agnostic, and the Satanism is to "see people squirm".

Wow, Matt had his voice really fucked up at this era, just between From Here To Infirmary and Good Mourning.

Just commenting on the info. Matt and Derek are confirmed members of the Church of Satan, the original Anton LeVay version of Satanism.

They joined as a joke and got each other the memberships.
