________________________________

this time we have an really cool
interview with TORBEN HANSEN or
better known as METAL of BONZAI.

________________________________

please tell me your real name?
- my name is TORBEN HANSEN.

and your age is?
- i've just turned 18.

what's your job in BONZAI?
- i'm a full-time MUSICAN.

in how many groups have you been
in, and what's their name?
- well, i started out in a small
group called ZONE 7. after some
time, we 'cleaned' up the crew
and changed the name into DEAD-
LINE. then we all splitted up
and i joined THE ATOMIC FREAKS,
but not for long 'cause all
members(2) joined a group called
U2. again i wasn't present in a
group for long, 'cause i got the
offer to join WWE. i stayed
there some 3 months or so until
some days later i got the offer
to join ABNORMAL, and so i did.
i stayed in ABNORMAL all the way
until the group died. i was then
groupless for about 2 weeks or
so, when me and DRAX came up
with the idea to built up a cool
music company. and then UNITECH
DESIGNS was born. but not for
long, coz DRAX got tempted by
AMOK, and so he joined. then i
asked CONTEX if i could join,
and they accepted. i don't know
why they ever hired me, 'cause
they never used any of my tunes.
ofcoz i couldn't accept to be in
a crew who had such incompetent
leaders who wasn't interested in
using the skills of their own
group. well, enough about them.
2-3 days after i left CONTEX i
recieved a phonecall from SONNY,
and he asked me to join and so i
did. overall i've been in about
NINE groups.

how did you got the interest in
making music?
- i got very interested when i
got the SOUNDMONITOR. and that
was in 1987, i guess.

when did you started making
music?
- i made my first tune in sound-
monitor in 1987.

are you self learned or did you
got help from someone?
- i got some help with the
instruments in SOUNDMONITOR. but
i learned to make music myself.

if you'll RANK YOURSELF on the
music charts, on what place
would that be?
- nahh, that would be selfish to
do, but somewhere between 1 and
10 wouldn't be bad at all....

who came up with the NAME of yar
group?
- no idea.

when did you bought your commy?
- i bought it in JULY'86.

when did you became FAMOUS in
the 64 scene?

i really don't know. i guess the

scene these days?
- it's gone absolutley CRAZY...
there are too many magazines,
too many LAMERS and not enough
insperation present.

cracking scene, all i can say is
that you should vote for CRUSH,
'cause he's doing a great and
hard work. that's for sure.

what do you think about the
Lamiga?
- AMIGA is spelled without an
'L', i don't know were people
get the wierd idea that it's a
lame computer... it's a GREAT
machine (only if the damn GURU
would PISS OFF).

- we did one once, but it died
when SONNY left. (but haven't ya
started a new one? red.)

afford it.
