Now, I know that this is boring, but the very attractive ladies at Capitol asked me to do this, and I have no shame doing things for pretty girls. This is what happens when you do an email interview with a guy who comes off as thinking he’s better than you.
The Emperor: How do you pronounce your name- spell it out for me phonetically.
Ferras: Fur-oss.
The Emperor: What movie quote do you overuse?
Ferras: I’m not that lame.
The Emperor: Using movie quotes is NOT LAME! Has any of your friends told you that they hated your tunes?
Ferras:In a nicer way… Sometimes a friend will be like, well, I like _______ (A different one of my songs) better. I know that means their perception is that it’s rubbish.
The Emperor: Well… What about family?
Ferras: No.
The Emperor: Who is the weirdest act you’ve ever played with?
Ferras: I have yet to meet some stranger than myself.
The Emperor: You have obviously never played with GWAR. Which fast food place has the best value meal?
Ferras: I try not to eat that shit.
The Emperor: Jesus Christ, work with me here, man! What moment in your life was your turning point for your career in music?
Ferras: Going to Berkley school of music in Boston. I had been living in LA for years and was fed up and decided to make the move and become a producer or score films. Unfortunately, I was failing miserably at their theory-heavy curriculum
and was sinking quickly. Then I got a record deal half way through the year and my life changed.
The Emperor: OK. Best sci-fi show?
Ferras: The Outer Limits.
The Emperor: Are you a cat or dog person?
Ferras: I’m allergic to cats- I wish I wasn’t as they’re sort of stand-offish and mysterious which intrigues me… So, I’ll go with DOG!!!! I want a Japanese Chin.
The Emperor: I can’t tell if that’s racist or not. Do you ever take a “me” day and call it “Ferras’ day off”?
Ferras: Pretty much my whole high school career.
