SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM TO READ THE DAGGER PHILLIPS INTERVIEW FROM THE MAY ISSUE OF GUITAR WORLD!!!
This is the official SUBHUMAN home page. Sure it sucks more than a $50 hooker, but hey, we're a rock band not unsociable computer geeks from Microsoft. Well anyways, thanx for taking the time to check us out. Hopefully as time goes on I'll be able to put up a better page ($150 hooker quality perhaps), so that I can put up some of our demos and pictures. That way you can hear our music and decide for yourself that we are (to partly steal a quote) THE MOST ELECTRIFYING BAND IN ENTERTAINMENT TODAY. Not only that but we ain't bad looking either (if you dim the lights)
Any opinions on this page are ours and we invite y'all to send in yours via the e-mail address below. Who knows maybe this page will become a forum for discussion rather than just stating the obvious fact that we are the best (have you got the message yet?).

GW- First off, the albums great!
DP- Thanks. We tried our to make the best possible album.
GW- There are some really good songs on SUBSONIC. Who does the writing.
DP- For the most part, I do the writing. Viper and Tiger come up with licks too and I take them and make them into a full song.
GW- So you're the songwriter of the group.
DP- I wouldn't say that. Viper and Tiger have developed as songwriters themselves. When they get tired of me, they'll probably do solo albums (laughs).
GW- Kind of like what Bon Jovi does.
DP- Yeah, except I won't get all caught up in all the movies and extra-curricular activities. I think I'll stick to the music.
GW- Why? Can't you act?
DP- Of coure I can. Ask your girlfriend how well I perform(silence). Just joking man!
GW- Back to the album. It sounds like a cross between Skid Row and Bon Jovi.
DP- And you look like a cross between monkey-crap and a horses ass...
GW- It was just an observation.
DP- Don't get all offended on me man. I'm not serious when I say shit like that. Seriously though, Bon Jovi and Skid Row are the two biggest influences on my music. Bon Jovi's New Jersey was the first album I bought. I just love his songs. theres nothing better than a melody you can't get out of your head. I'm very picky that way. If people don't start singing my songs or whistling them or whatever, I think the song is shit.
GW- So you abandon the song?
DP- No, I just tinker with it to make it better. A songs got to have a hook; something catchy.
GW- I think NOT LIKE YOU does that well.
DP- I think so too. I remember playing the demo to my friends. They'd leave my house singing it.
GW- The lyrics are great too.
DP- My favorite line is SUCK MY EDUCATION. The whole songs about my resistance to selling out.
GW- Which you have suceccfully done.
DP- Yup. Like I told my mom, I didn't sell my soul to the devil, I leased it.
GW- Who are your musical heros?
DP- Well for guitar, Richie Sambora. He's the most underated guitarest ever. He plays with such feeling. Vocally, I want to be like Sebastian Bach. He's got the best voice in rock. It's ashame that his album wasn't released here. his new band kicks Skid Row's ass!
GW- You have the album?
DP- Yup, It's just unbelievable.
GW- Better than yours?
DP- Without a doubt.
GW- Where do you see yourself in the future?
DP- In the bedrooms of pretty girls everywhere.
