MR. OLLI BUSTER
Instrument:
Low End (gear-list is coming soon...) Motto: Reduce it to the max! (which obviously doesn't include the volume of my bass) Must Have: Coffee!, the bass below the belt, enough time on the toilet to read music-mags No Go: cover- and tribute bands, bassplayers with the instrument above the belt playing with a dog paw Musical Influences: Jean-Yves (Blacky) Thériault / VoiVod (listen to his masterpiece Angel Rat - my biggest influence) Doug Pinnick / King's X (love his tone and laidback feel...and he grooooooves) Geezer Butler / Black Sabbath (love all of his lines) Steve Harris / Iron Maiden (heard him first on Piece Of Mind and love his attack) Favourite Band: VoiVod, King's X, Rush, Kiss, Rollins Band, Down, Black Sabbath Favourite Food: Ann's homemade pasta, Ann's homemade pizza, and: Ann's homemade cakes!!! yes, she is the reason why I am so spoiled in food! ...and i am kinda addicted to chocolate-bars. Favourite Drink: Coffee Favourite Book: Earth by Jon Steward, and my notebook;) Favourite Movie: Zeitgeist, Hangover, Garden State and every music documentary Favourite ELECTRO BABY Song(s): Doomsday AD, Heads Will Roll, The Man With The Black Cat, Down By Love How would you describe yourself in 3 words?: Clumsy, black humour, meticulous (if it comes to sound, gear and graphics) Which album nobody would expect in your collection?: Björk, Dead Can Dance Most overrated band: The Rolling Stones Most underrated band: VoiVod How would your supergroup look like: Danko Jones - voc/guitar, Jack Black - voc/guitar, Stig Pedersen - 2-string bass, Dave Grohl - drums ...this would be fun to watch;) What was your first record?: Kiss - Creatures Of The Night What was the last record?: Down - Diary Of A Mad Band Your 5 favourite albums of all time: VoiVod - Angel Rat, The Cult - Electric, Motörhead - Another Perfect Day, The Quill - Voodoo Caravan, Oceansize - Frames What's actually spinning?: Shrinebuilder Give one advice how to deal with you: Don't ask me about my gear unless you really want to know it. It is the last question you will ask me before i will talk for hours without a break;) And don't ask me anything before my first coffee;))) The other ELECTRO BABIES about MR. OLLI BUSTER: El Matador: "Papa Bear": Old but hardworking. He´s the motor in the band and takes care of everything. Thank you for this! Robmaster Flash: He is the reason I started to play guitar. And the best: Now we are making music together for incredible 25 years. His love and indestructible faith in music are unbelievable. His creative mind and ideas are endless... up the irons for the next 25 years! Kim Page: The affinity to bass players is the red line drawing through my whole life as a musician. So, it's the natural consequence that I found my „better half“ in Olli in Electro Baby. Talking about equipment, setups, arrangements or non-musical issues – he became a real friend on and off stage. Drumgod: His never ending optimism and creative power keeps the band together and leads all projects to a special aim. He plays his bass as he would have been born with it! |
