We sat down with Arthur Yoria to see what we could learn about the stoner-rocker in 30 seconds.


Rocks Off: What is the worst song in the world?

Arthur Yoria: "Happy Birthday." I don't like the changes and the lyrics are trite.


RO: What is the best lyric in the world?

AY: "His brains were splattered on the sidewalk/ I could see what he was thinking."


RO: Someone throws a beer bottle at you. What do you do?

AY: Duck it and keep playing, or if it hits me I'll break it against the side of the stage and then go slice the motherfucker who threw it.


RO: Without worrying about time, space, or physical laws, what would be the ultimate gig?

AY: In a black hole that pays well.


RO: What will you buy with your first million dollars?

AY: Corruption.


RO: What would you buy with your last dollar?

AY: Pudding for you.


RO: That's sweet. If you could canonize another musician as a saint, who would it be and what would they be the patron saint of?

AY: GG Allin. He'd be the patron saint of flying feces.


Arthur Yoria plays Stoner Pop Night tonight at Etro.
