THE GREAT KAT

THE GREAT KAT, Guitar Goddess or Raving Lunatic? Many of us have asked that question after listening to her interestingly titled 80's debut "Worship Me or Die" or her 1990 comeback, the brilliant "Beethoven on Speed". She is now back with two new CD's, "Guitar Goddess" and a interactive CD-ROM/Music CD called "Digital Beethoven on Cyberspeed". I posed a few question to her greatness to perhaps try to understand a bit more of the insanity.

CRUSADER: Please tell our readers a bit more about yourself, where do you come from and what do you do?

KAT: WAKE UP!! THE GREAT KAT IS GOD!!!! After listening to Classical music such as Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, and Haydn, since birth, I decided to become a violin virtuoso at the age of 9. I won a scholarship to The Juilliard School of Music in New York City at the age of 15 and after 6 years at Juilliard, I graduated with honours. I won the Artists International Competition and performed my solo violin debut at Carnegie Recital Hall, toured the U.S., Mexico and England, was the Concertmaster of the Juilliard School Pre-College Orchestra, and won numerous other competitions and awards in violin.

After graduating from The Juilliard School and realizing that Classical Music is DEAD, I decided to take Classical into the 21st Century with modern popular music. After hearing ALL forms of popular music, I came across a Judas Priest video and realized that Classical Music mixed with Metal is the music for the future: CYBERSPEED!!!! I then picked up the electric guitar and began systematically transcribing all of my violin solos to the guitar and CHANGE THE FACE OF CLASSICAL AND METAL MUSIC!!!!!!!

CRUSADER: How do you decide what classics to redefine and energize?

KAT: The process of "CYBERSPEEDING" Classical Music into the 21st Century is: Find a piece that EXCITES ME (like Beethoven's 5th, Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries, Bach's Partita #3, Paganini's Caprice #9 & 24.)

CRUSADER: Which are your favourite composers and do you draw any inspiration from Metal artists?

Composers: Beethoven Wagner Bach Paganini THE GREAT KAT

Inspiration from these Metal Artists: Ozzy Judas Priest Hendrix THE GREAT KAT

CRUSADER: You were born on the same day as Beethoven. Do you seriously believe you are the re-incarnation of Beethoven, or is that simply a metaphor for what you are doing?

KAT: THE GREAT KAT IS THE NEW BEETHOVEN of the 21st CENTURY!!!!!! I am a CLASSICALLY trained JUILLIARD graduate GENIUS taking BRILLIANT Classical Music and RESURRECTING it for the 21st Century using SHRED METAL!!!!!!!!! THAT'S WHY I AM THE "REINCARNATION" of Beethoven!!!!!

CRUSADER: I would imagine Paganini to be an obvious choice of "cover" for you, due to the speed aspect, however, don't you feel that "Caprice #9" (as done on Digital Beethoven on Cyberspeed) has a far more light-hearted feel than the rest of your music? Why did you choose this piece?

KAT: What you misconceive as "light-hearted" music is REALLY virtuoso pyrotechnics!!! I chose Paganini's Caprice #9 for THAT REASON (PYROTECHNICS)!!!

CRUSADER: You claim to have started playing Metal after seeing a Judas Priest video on TV. You said that Rob Halford's "Wagnerian" way of singing made you realise that classical music is dead and Metal is the new classical. On your CD-ROM you say that Wagner destroyed classical music by slowing it down and making it boring, yet you re-do his piece "Ride of the Valkyries", a piece that I believe to be the first real thrash Metal. Explain?

KAT: Wagner DID destroy Classical Music by making it too long, atonal, slow and BORING!!! BUT, Wagner was a GENIUS theatrical composer and it worked for his music!!!!! Unfortunately, other composers AFTER Wagner were NOT THEATRICAL GENIUSES or VIRTUOSOS like Mozart or Beethoven, and the result is the DESTRUCTION of CLASSICAL Music!!!!!!

CRUSADER: You say that all Metalheads are Morons with no IQ, why don't you rather play the violin as somebody like Vanessa Mae has? You'll definitely reach more people that way.

KAT: Metalheads are DRUGGED OUT, LETHARGIC MORONS!!!!! BUT, METAL MUSIC is POWERFUL and THE GREAT KAT HAS CHOSEN METAL TO CREATE the NEW MUSIC of the 21st CENTURY: CYBERSPEED!!!!!

CRUSADER: It seems as if you are doing more and more classical renditions and less of your own compositions, why is this?

KAT: WAKE UP!!!! The REASON The Great Kat Cyberspeeds Classical Music is so that you MORONS understand my ORIGINAL Classical/Metal creations better!!!!! If you can hear how The Great Kat takes Classical Music masterpieces like Beethoven's 5th Symphony, and THEN you listen to my original music like "Feast of the Dead", then you'll understand WHAT the NEW Music of the 21st Century will be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CRUSADER: What caused your break with Roadracer? How would you compare your older releases to your newer ones, and are you satisfied with all your recordings?

KAT: ALL Great Kat recordings are BRILLIANT and REVOLUTIONARY!!!!!! "Worship Me Or Die!"-- The INTRODUCTION of HYPERSPEED to the MORON MASSES!!!!! "Beethoven On Speed"--THE FIRST Metal CD to combine Classical Music and Metal--Beethoven, Chopin, Rimsky-Korsakov, Paganini!!!!!!! "Guitar Goddess"--The FIRST CD to combine a Metal Band with and actual ELECTRIC violin solo on Sarasate's "Zigeunerweisen."

CRUSADER: Do you regard the ridiculously short "Guitar Goddess" as being a full length release or an EP? Were "Digital Beethoven..." and "Guitar Goddess" released simultaneously, in the sense of a part one and part two?

KAT: The Great Kat's BRILLIANT NEW "Guitar Goddess" CD is NOT an "EP" or a "CD"!!! IT IS A "CYBERSPEED CD"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
