Quand on conna\u00eet l’hsitoire de notre musique pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9e, on sait que d\u00e8s qu’un style appara\u00eet d’inombrables suiveurs s’engouffrent dans la faille. DEZPERADOZ est allemand et fait du Southern M\u00e9tal. M\u00e9lange de rock, de musique de saloon et de groove le quartet est incontestablement un leader dans sa partie. Entretien \u00e0 b\u00e2ton rompu avec un musicien passion\u00e9 parmi d’autres…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Je suis tr\u00e8s heureux de faire l’interview de votre groupe car j\u2019\u00e9coute DEZPERADOZ depuis \u00ab The Dawn Of Dying \u00bb. Pourquoi as-tu choisis de pratiquer le Southern Metal ? Est-ce que tes parents t’ont forc\u00e9 \u00e0 regarder des films de Clint Eastwood en grandissant ? Hahaha !<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salut Phil et au webzine Kaosguards !! En fait, m\u00eame \u00e9tant enfant (n\u00e9 en 1968), j’ai \u00e9t\u00e9 influenc\u00e9 par cette \u00e9poque. Des films hollywoodiens aux westerns spaghettis poussi\u00e9reux et leur musique, qui semblait d\u00e9suete et qui a fa\u00e7onn\u00e9 ma jeunesse. De plus j’ai grandi dans une famille tr\u00e8s \u00ab musicale \u00bb. Cela a d\u00e9teint sur moi et je suis encore aujourd\u2019hui un historien amateur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) D\u2019ailleurs en 2000 ton premier album est sorti sous le nom DESPERADOS ? Pourquoi as-tu chang\u00e9 de nom ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

J’avais d\u00e9j\u00e0 d\u00e9pos\u00e9 le brevet pour le nom et la police du logo de DESPERADOS aupr\u00e8s de l’Office des Brevets en 1998\/99. \u00c0 un concert \u00e0 Francfort en 1999, Tom (Angelripper) et moi \u00e9tions assis sur le \u00ab\u00a0Metal Hammer\u00a0\u00bb stand qui faisait la promotion du nouvel album (nous avons bu presque tout le stand \ud83d\ude09 ). Comme les gars d’Iron Maiden \u00e9taient aussi l\u00e0 (Nico qui est aussi un vrai gros buveur), le distributeur de bi\u00e8re Karlsberg (qui a fourni les boissons pour le stand du salon et a \u00e9galement pris en charge la distribution allemande de la nouvelle marque de bi\u00e8re \u00ab\u00a0Desperados\u00a0\u00bb)   nous a propos\u00e9 de soutenir financi\u00e8rement une tourn\u00e9e d’Iron Maiden et de Desperados (en premi\u00e8re partie) pour faire la promotion la bi\u00e8re Desperados. Comme nous avions d\u00e9j\u00e0 book\u00e9 le Wacken et le Full Force Festival,  j\u2019\u00e9tais extr\u00eamement excit\u00e9 car les choses semblaient monter en fl\u00e8che. Pour faire court, au lieu du soutien attendu pour la tourn\u00e9e, le distributeur europ\u00e9en de la bi\u00e8re Desperados s’est oppos\u00e9 \u00e0 ma nom !! Mon avocat pensait que j’avais de bonnes chances d\u2019obtenir gain de cause. Toutefois, le montant des frais de justice et d’avocat \u00e9taient bien trop \u00e9lev\u00e9s pour moi. Tom m’a encourag\u00e9 \u00e0 changer de nom, et j’\u00e9tais l’auteur-compositeur de toute fa\u00e7on, j’ai donc appel\u00e9 le groupe DEZPERADOZ d\u00e9sormais (un terme mexicain, pour signifier \u00e9vad\u00e9 ou hors-la-loi ou condamn\u00e9s \u00e0 mort). De cette fa\u00e7on, tout le monde \u00e9tait satisfait et tu \u00e0 te casser la t\u00eate avant de chercher le groupe sur Google :-).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) Je n’ai jamais vu un concert du groupe en France. \u00c0 quoi ressemble DEZPERADOZ \u00ab live \u00bb ? Avez-vous des contacts pour venir mettre le feu \u00e0 la France ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nous avons fait quelques concerts en France, tous g\u00e9niaux, il y avait un public incroyable qui nous soutenait. La derni\u00e8re fois, c’\u00e9tait \u00e0 Paris pour la tourn\u00e9e de Molly Hatchet. J’esp\u00e8re qu’on pourra faire quelques concerts en France en 2025. Nous sommes connus pour transformer chaque endroit en une f\u00eate o\u00f9 les le public est impliqu\u00e9 dans le spectacle. Faites la f\u00eate et foncez !!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Votre dernier album est sorti en 2017 ? As-tu \u00e9t\u00e9 si occup\u00e9 dans ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, tu n’as pas pu sortir d’album avant?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

En plus de DEZPERADOZ, je suis \u00e9galement producteur et auteur-compositeur pour de nombreux autres groupes et projets. Je fais de la musique pour des publicit\u00e9s t\u00e9l\u00e9vis\u00e9es de plus. DEZPERADOZ a besoin d\u2019inspiration. Cela signifie que je vois chaque album comme une histoire ind\u00e9pendante (comme un film) et prendre autant de temps que n\u00e9cessaire pour cr\u00e9er une \u0153uvre. C’est peut-\u00eatre pour \u00e7a que ce n’est pas aussi commercial que d’autres musiques, mais c’est beaucoup plus profond et si vous aimez le style, les chansons deviendront plus marquantes, plus vous les \u00e9couterez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2000: The Dawn of Dying<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2006: The Legend and the Truth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2008: An Eye for an Eye<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2012. Dead Man’s Hand<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2017: Call of the Wild<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2024: Moonshiner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5) Concernant votre travail, comment s\u2019est d\u00e9roul\u00e9e la phase de cr\u00e9ation ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je choisis un sujet. Des histoires vraies qui m’inspirent, qui m’\u00e9meuvent. J’essaie de faire des recherches. Ensuite j’\u00e9cris 12 \u00e0 14 chapitres, avec chaque titre de chapitre. Chaque chapitre est rempli avec des phrases du sujet respectif. Cela cr\u00e9e des mots forts, des phrases fortes. En fonction du sujet d’un chapitre, je d\u00e9termine le style musical de la pi\u00e8ce et l’instrumentation. Puis avec mon inspiration et mon imagination j\u2019accole une image dans mon esprit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6) La niche musicale que vous avez choisi pour DEZPERADOZ n’est pas tr\u00e8s encombr\u00e9. Certains styles lorsqu’ils apparaissent g\u00e9n\u00e8rent des dizaines de bandes qui copient les pr\u00e9curseurs. Ce n’est pas le cas du genre dans lequel DEZPERADOZ op\u00e8re. \u00cates-vous un musicien in\u00e9gal\u00e9 des g\u00e9nie ? Hahaha !<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bien s\u00fbr !! Non, je le fais juste parce que \u00e7a fait partie de mon univers musical et pour moi, c’est plus r\u00e9aliste que les chansons sur les dragons et les chevaliers, par exemple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7) Quel est le message que vous aimeriez faire passer \u00e0 vos fans ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintenant, il est important pour moi que la musique transmette aussi des valeurs, c’est ce que j’essaie de faire et je remercie tous ceux qui entendent et comprennent. D\u00e9cence, respect, tranquillit\u00e9, joie, mettre un terme \u00e0 la haine, car la haine n’apporte que du chagrin et ne r\u00e9sout jamais les probl\u00e8mes. Fiert\u00e9 et fair-play, courage et honn\u00eatet\u00e9, consid\u00e9ration et coh\u00e9rence r\u00e9fl\u00e9chie. J’esp\u00e8re toucher beaucoup de gens lors de nos spectacles \u00e0 2025 et vivre de bons moments ensemble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8) Cr\u00e9ez-vous pour vous-m\u00eame ou pour vos fans ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour \u00eatre honn\u00eate, c’est juste pour moi et je suis tellement heureux quand c’est compris. C’est la seule fa\u00e7on d’\u00eatre compl\u00e8tement honn\u00eate sur ce que je fais, que cela se vende ou non.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9) Si vous deviez \u00e9crire une chanson th\u00e8me pour un film, de quel film s’agirait-il ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A l’\u00e9poque, j’avais postul\u00e9 pour la musique du film \u00ab\u00a0Inglourious Bastards\u00a0\u00bb de Quentin Tarantino via Sony Music. Quentin a le m\u00eame style et perspective dans son art que moi. \u00c0 ma grande joie, j’ai re\u00e7u un message amical de rejet parce que mon h\u00e9ros Ennio Morricone a fait l’essentiel du travail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10) Quel musicien\/artiste\/instrument souhaiteriez-vous ajouter \u00e0 votre groupe?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Du cymbalum (le cymbalum, cimbalom (Hongrie), est un instrument \u00e0 cordes frapp\u00e9es faisant partie de la famille des cithares sur table. On l’appelle aussi le piano tzigane.)  commre sur l’intro de \u00ab\u00a0Badlands\u00a0\u00bb.  Pour moi l’un des meilleurs joueurs de cymbalum est Jeno Farkas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11) Y a-t-il des musiciens qui vous inspirent ? Quelles qualit\u00e9s as-tu admirer en eux ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beaucoup ! Je suis un musicien tr\u00e8s ouvert d’esprit. Il n’y a pas de \u00ab\u00a0cases\u00a0\u00bb pour moi, juste de la musique et des musiciens. Mon h\u00e9ros est et le sera reste Ennio Morricone. J’aime les premiers Testament, les d\u00e9buts du trash metal, j’adore les vieux enregistrements de Robert Johnson et sa fa\u00e7on de jouer. J’\u00e9coute du jazz et du swing des ann\u00e9es 40. J’aime les groupes comme Billy Talent et les artistes des ic\u00f4nes comme David Bowie, Frank Sinatra, Rick Rubin, Johnny Cash et Slayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12) Qu\u2019est-ce qui vous a pouss\u00e9 \u00e0 commencer \u00e0 jouer et \u00e0 faire de la musique ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je ne sais vraiment pas, mais je devais le faire au cours de ma vie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13) Quelles r\u00e9alisations envisagez-vous d’accomplir au cours des cinq prochaines ann\u00e9es ? Dans dix ans ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Que cela continue encore et encore et que cela ne finisse jamais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

English version\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) I am very happy to do the interview with your band because I have been DEZPERADOZ since \u201cThe Dawn Of Dying\u201d. Why did you choose to practice Southern Metal? Did your parents force you to
watch Clint Eastwood movies growing up? Hahaha!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Howdy and Hi Phil – Kaosguards webzine!! In fact, even as a child (born in 1968), I was influenced by this time. From the transition from Hollywood films to dusty spaghetti westerns and their music, which felt much dustier, harder and much more real and dangerous to me. Since I grew up in a very musical family, this rubbed off on me and I became an amateur historian to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Besides, in 2000 your first album was released under the name DESPERADOS? Why did you change your name?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had already registered the patent for the name and of \u00ab\u00a0DESPERADOS\u00a0\u00bb with the patent office in 1998\/99. At the Frankfurt Music Fair in 1999, Tom (Angelripper) and I sat on the then \u00ab\u00a0Metal Hammer\u00a0\u00bb stand and promoted the new album (we drank almost the whole stand dry \ud83d\ude09 ) As the guys from Iron Maiden were also there, and Nico in particular was a real heavy drinker, the beer distributor Karlsberg (who supplied the drinks for the trade fair stand and also took over the German distribution for the new beer brand \u00ab\u00a0Desperados\u00a0\u00bb beer) came and made us the offer to financially support an Iron Maiden tour and Desperados as the opening act and to cooperate with Desperados beer. As we had already been booked for Wacken and the Full Force Festival in advance, I was extremely excited as things seemed to be going uphill. To cut a long story short, instead of the expected tour support, the European distributor of Desperados beer objected to my brand!! My patent attorney thought I had a very good chance because I had the patent. The value of the dispute was incredibly high, however, and the risk and the court and lawyer’s fees were far too high for me. Since Tom encouraged me to lead the band myself as a singer on the follow-up album, and I was the songwriter anyway, I called the band DEZPERADOZ from then on (Mexican, where the term for escaped outlaws sentenced to death also came from). That way everyone was served and you weren’t drunk before you googled the band \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) I have never seen a show by the band in France. What does a DEZPERADOZ \u201clive\u201d look like? Do you have any contacts to come and set France on fire?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We played a few shows in France, all of which were great and we had an amazing crowd supporting us. The last time was in Paris on the Molly Hatchet tour. I hope that we can do a few shows in France in 2025.
We are known for turning every location into a saloon where the audience is involved in the show. Party on and go for it!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) Your last album was released in 2017? Have you been so busy in recent years that you haven’t been able to release any albums before?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Dezperadoz, I am also a producer and songwriter for many other bands and projects. I make music for TV commercials and more. DEZPERADOZ needs inspiration. That means I see each album as an independent story (like a film) and take as much time as I need to create a work. Maybe that’s why it’s not as commercial as other music, but it’s much deeper and if you like the style, the songs will get deeper into your heart the more you listen to them.
2000: The Dawn of Dying
2006: The Legend and the Truth
2008: An Eye for an Eye Dead Man’s Hand
2017: Call of the Wild
2024: Moonshiner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    5) Regarding your work, how did the creation phase go?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I choose a topic. Real stories that inspire me, that move me. I try to research these and also prove them. Then I write 12 to 14 chapters, with each chapter heading being the title of the song. Each chapter is filled
    with sentences from the respective topic. This creates strong words, strong sentences. Depending on what a chapter is about, this determines the musical style of the piece and the instrumentation. Then I approach the respective song with inspiration and imagination, with a picture in my head of where the song will take me when I write and play it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    6) The musical niche that you chose to add to DEZPERADOZ is not very busy. Certain styles when they appear generate dozens of bands which copy the precursors. This is not the case for the genre in which DEZPERADOZ operates. Are you unrivaled musical geniuses? Hahaha!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Of course !! No, I just do it because it is part of my musical world and for me it is harder and more real than songs about dragons and knights, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    7) What is the message you would like to convey to your fans?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These days, it’s important to me that music should also convey values, which is what I try to do and I thank everyone who hears and understands that, who tries to live it. Decency, respect, peacefulness, joy,
    putting a stop to hate, because hate only brings sorrow and never solves problems. Pride and fair play, courage and honesty, consideration and thoughtful consistency. I hope to reach many people at our shows in 2025 and to experience good times together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    8) Do you create for yourself or for your fans?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To be honest, it’s just for me and I’m so happy when it’s understood. That’s the only way to be completely honest about what I’m doing, what this topic needs, whether it sells or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    9) If you had to write a theme song for a movie, what movie would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At the time, I had applied for the film music for \u00ab\u00a0Inglourious Basterds\u00a0\u00bb by Quentin Tarantino through Sony Music. Quentin has the same style and perspective in his art. To my delight, I received a friendly
    rejection because my hero Ennio Morricone did most of the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    10) Which musician\/artist\/instrument would you like to add to your band?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Cimbalom (Dulcimer) did it on the intro of \u00ab\u00a0Badlands\u00a0\u00bb For me one of the best cimbalom players here is Jeno Farkas<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    11) Are there any musicians who inspire you? What qualities do you admire in them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Lots of! I am a very open-minded musician, which is what you have to be in order to make music. There are no \u00ab\u00a0drawers\u00a0\u00bb for me, just good music and musicians, or what doesn’t interest me. My hero is and will
    remain Ennio Morricone. I love the Old Testament, the beginnings of trash metal, I love old Robert Johnson recordings and his way of playing. I listen to 1940s jazz and swing. I like bands like Billy Talent and artists\/
    icons like David Bowie, Frank Sinatra, Rick Rubin, Johnny Cash and Slayer \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    12) What made you start playing and making music?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I really don’t know, but I have to do this in my lifetime and it is my greatest love and meaning<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    13) What achievements do you see yourself achieving in the next five to ten years?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It goes on and on and I will never finish it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
