N: you're welcome, thank you... the third interview was done by me (MATT) with BAZE/BRUTAL... M: matt B: baze M: hello baze, please introduce yourself B: yep, my real name is thomas jergensen sen and i'm 19 years of age, i'm about 175cm tall. M: tell the readers in which groups you have been before, and how long are ya in the scene? B: i got my 64 way back in 1986. first i was in a group called POWER formed by some of the local lamers. i really just enter the scene when i joined ZYROX. but after one year i got tired of no productions. then on a dau i got an offer to join BRUTAL. M: wod are yer functions in brutal and why did ya actually joined'em? B: i'm one of the MEGASWAPPERS, right now i have about 110 contacts and i have plans to reach over 200 in 1993. i'm also one of the sub-editors from our mag BRUTAL-RECALL. my main reason for joining brutal was that i was told from a very good friend of mine (RCS/ex i+t now brutal) that we could make it big some day so i joi- ned. M: ok, i heard brutal refused the coop with JOY DIVISION? B: yep, yer right! LTH, ex joy division called me andasked for a coop but i said i didn't know yet. si i called the others and we decided that joy division did not have any thing cool to offer and that they only would ta- ke advance of our abilities and as i found out that their crackers blade- runner and neon judgement were the 2 guys omg/antichrist and scrap/g*p. we just simply refused, that's all. M: like ya probably know, the most inter viewed people all say the same:'the scene is gettin' lamer and lamer'. well my question now: do you think the same? B: for me the scene is still COOOL becau se i have a lot of cooool contatcs and many coool scene'n'nice friends. but in a way the scene is slowing down just look at the games which are out these days, no big and cool games as in the old days, that's really a pitty. M: now, what do ya think about the us- scene, for many europeans, the us-sce ne is an unknown scene, well wod do you think about it? B: the us-scene is also a bit unknown to me but it must be really funny to play around with a modem on all the boards over there. i'm really a rookie when it comes to the us-scene. M: please show us the memberstatus from brutal. say, howlong does brutal exist now? B: ok, here's the BRUTAL-memberstatus... tch: crack, code, gfx, swap, b-r, modem slash: crack, code, gfx, swap, b-r chris: megaswap, originals rcs: megaswap, originals, modem, b-r maniac: crack, swap, modem iron boss: swap, modem technoir: code, gfx raise: code, gfx bleze: code, gfx, swap baze: megaswap, originals, b-r (b-r stands for brutal-recall ofcour- se!) merlin quit the scene 'cause his hou- se burned down to the ground. BRUTAL have been alive for about 1 year and about 3 months. PLEASE remember that we have NO leader or HQ.! M: did a member of brutal ones has some serious troubles with other groups in the scene, and why? B: so far i don't think that any BRUTAL guys have had troubles with anyone be cause all true BRUTAL'ers know how to behave. M: what's the succes behind BRUTAL RECALL? B: the succes behind brutal recall might be that our mag is NOT an ordenary mag and we are really putting a job (ed: we too, man!) behind it. tch ca- me up the idea about making a really outstanding mag and it took time to decide how it should be like. M: ok, i'll name some countries and you must say which are the best groups of that country, got it? here we go... B: denmark: dominators, x-factor, cosmic italy: f4cg holland: hotline belgium: legend germany: victims, pandora, enigma uk: talent usa: mirage, tthe shaolin monastery sweden: triad, flash inc., antic finland: beyond force, origo M: if someone should attack brutal by saying for example you're lame like hell, brutal suxx,... how would you react and what would you do? B: i'm not another LAMER who wants to fight if a guy calls me or my group lame. ofcourse, i will defend me and my group but i will do it with my mouth and not with my fists. in some cases i might use power to force the guy to stop his lame acting... M: now when we're talking about enemies, what do you think about the FEDERA- TIONS AGAINST somebody?(faw, fae, fao ) B: i really HATE wars! they sux shit! if we want d'64 to be kicking in the future we MUST pull our arses together and help eachother!
