Ask CJ Questions

[kriscoverdale]

Hi,

This is the thread for the next Ask CJ section. This time out we'll be running a thread for each member of The Wildhearts. We'll then be getting the answers up on The Wildhearts website, over the coming months.

Cheers
Kris

Hey cj,,

Any news on when we can expect your new solo album?

[Piedude]

Do you expect the solo album to be a one off or will you keep making them alongside any Wildhearts work? Will there be any video or single for 13?

Will

In a recent interview, CJ keeps referring to the fact that he was about to turn 39, so I was wondering if he'd heard NOFX's 'Everything In Moderation (Especially Moderation)' and whether it made him feel any better.

Do you plan on pushing the new solo album with as many live dates as possible or will The Wildhearts be getting most of the attention this year?

[Sam]

Hi CJ

What's the worst thing that's happened to you onstage during a Wildhearts gig?

What's your fondest Wildhearts memory?

What do you consider to be the best album ever written?

Cheers

Sam

Where are you from? In Blackpool last year you said you were from Asia then you said you were from the Amazon.

According to many popular conspiracy theories, you actually stole the Holy Grail containing the fountain of youth whilst on tour in the 90's!? Is it true? If not how come you look older in 1992 than you do now!!?!?!?!

Heh, good question! My fear is that in 10 years time, CJ will be an infant, and thus unable to buy any wildhearts cds cos of the parental advisory stickers

What are your 3 favourite songs that you've had a part in the writing of?

And would you like to work with Willie Dowling again in the future?

Pete.

Hey CJ-
I was listening to Bleeding Hearts and Needle Marks the other day, and noticed that the solo in Stikky Stuff is practically the same solo from Headfuck. Was that written in intentionally, or did it just happen to fit? Just caught my ear, and thought I'd ask about it.

Maybe he stole the ONE ring from Frodo !!!

CJ -

We all love Ginger, but what is he like to tour with.

I can compare the Wildhearts with Bon Jovi,

Ginger is the song writing brains behind the music (like Jon Bongiovi)
And you Cj have the guitar excellence and aurora like Richie Sambora

Do you agree?

if not why?

[Damian]

I can compare the Wildhearts with Bon Jovi,

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGH!

I'm not even going to get started on that.

Hey there CJ,

I am loving the new Wildhearts CD.

Here's a quizzer for ya. Considering that you are the popmeister that wrote "Lemonade Girl" and "Girl On Fire" (which are both sugar coated excellence personified BTW), I was wondering what you think about "The Sweetest Song" - you gotta admit it's a pretty intense and virtriolic 4 minutes!?!?!

Cheers fella and best wishes!!

[Keith Richard]

Hey CJ,

Firstly, congrats on the album.......a masterpiece indeed! There was a time there (as documented on the album cover) that you were sporting facial hair, and looking rather menacing. You now seem to be back to "baby bottom" smoothness. Was Ginger jealous and made you shave?

Cheers, Keith.
