Cronos Interview (Kerrang! Nr. 94 1985)

Hell awaits - Cronos talks about Kate Bush:
Cronos: "I got into chicks really early. In fact, I screwed my first chick when I was ten years old in Junior School whilst in the craft room making a mosaic! I saw this chick and we just got it together, then I went home and told my parents ... it seemed the natural thing to do!"

Did you fall in love with her?

Cronos: "Not really. The only chick I could fall in love with is Kate Bush!"

Kate Bush?

Cronos: "Yeah, I´ve got posters of her all over my walls. I love her, totally. I cried at her gig at the Sunderland Empire a few years ago, then walked home 30 miles with my head in the clouds! I actually met her at a record signing she did at the Virgin store in Newcastle. I took my dinner hour to shoot down there and stood in the queue but I had to get back, so I started running across people´s heads to get to the front, then she kissed me. Maaan, it were fantastic!"

... What music influences you or, more specifically, what music do you listen to at home?

Cronos: "I can´t put anything down that someone else is into, one man´s meat is another man´s poison but I listen to a variety of stuff from Talking Heads to Nina Hagen, Gino Vanelli and Kate Bush! I listen to a lot of Metal of course like Kiss, Priest, Uli Jon Roth and Gary Moore but bands like Mötley Crüe, W.A.S.P. etc. I don´t like! It´s not my music - pure pose and image, the songs are rubbish. The only thing going for them is that they look good. Look, I don´t preach Satanism, occultism, witchcraft or anything - rock and roll is basically entertainment and that´s as far as it goes."
