Interview
Kris: Dear Executioner, please firstly introduce yourself to our readers. You know, real name, position, ex-groups and ex-names, age & birthday, hobbies and anything else you want to say...
Executioner: Isn't Exec my real name?? At least my mother always calls me that, but I hope it'll change, when she reads this interview (you know, she's waiting for Eternal every day and says that she'll commit suicide if you don't finish it soon). Hm, guess we got a little bit away from the issue. But what's my real name??? Let's have a look at my passport..ahhhh, I'd almost forgotten it - it's Martin! And on page two in my passport it says that I'm a swapper - amazing. Ex. groups??? Ehh, I was in a few very lame groups (no names mentioned). I think I even founded one or two groups myself. My first real group was called Dual Power (Yuk!). Then I joined Rednex and I stayed there for a year (a great time!). After Rednex came apart I was on my own for about 3! months (didn't matter because I was on holiday most of that period). When I returned from my vacations I was offered to join S!P/Scoopex and so I did! My ex. names aren't really worth mentioning because it's a long time ago but just to satify the huge amount of fans of mine - here they are.. My first handle was The Junkman (wauw!). I guess it was back in 1988. Then later on in 1990 I changed my handle to something quite - ehh - lame! Executor...And this word has nothing to do with an executioner! When I realized that, I immediatly changed my name to Executioner (and suddenly I was the coolest sucker around). I was born on the 11 of February and you're all allowed to send birthday presents to me (I love presents). Hmmm, hmmmm, hmmm - hobbies? Eh I like bicycling so I bought a huge monster Peugot racing bike with 14 gears two years ago. If boozing is considered to be a hobby - well then that's my hobby (I think it's a life style!).
Kris: When did you buy your first computer?
Executioner: It must be 5 years ago (in 1987). I begged my parents to buy me the wonder machine, the C64. I had it for a year, then it crashed and I bought an Amiga. It was really a coincidence that I got my Amiga. It was crashed so I delivered it to my local computer shop and they were going to send it to a repair firm. Then they (the local computer shop crocks) told me that the'd lost my C-64 at the repair firm. Well, I didn't complain since I was paid 1200 Dkr (200 US$) to cover the loss. But then later on the local computer shop crocks asked me to give them my manual for my C-64 because the guy who'd bought my C-64 needed it. Hmmmmmmm. Hmmmmmm.
Kris: What's going on in Rednex at the moment?
Executioner: Not much I guess. Castor is the only remaining member. Why??? The always oh so strong wish and eager for fame. Unfortunately they didn't want to become famous in Rednex.
Kris: Some clear words to describe your personnality.
Executioner: I'm such a fucking lazy bastard. I always do my papers the night before I have to deliver them, even though I often have a whole week where I can do them. I once had some rabbits, but they died, probably because I was too lazy to feed them. So it might surprise! some people that I attend high school and have a job too. I can infact be involuntary funny when I'm drunk even though it might seem inbelieveable. Apart from that I'm the meanest mother in the air on .574 megahertz every Saturday morning where I'm talking to the toilet. Really clear words ehh?
Kris: Nice response... What's the aim of your life?
Executioner: To become the biggest lamer ever seen (so I'll probably have reached my target when this interview is over).
Kris: Explain us the magic word: FRIENDSHIP. Have you a real friend in the scene?
Executioner: I must say that I lost my faith in friendship after all the members left Rednex. I thought Rednex was a group bulit upon friendship but it wasn't. So I guess I can't explain the word friendship by referring to Rednex. But what's friendship then? I think it's impossible to explain such a word which is connected with so many feelings and thoughts. So I'll just leave it up to all you out there to bring an element of friendship into everything. And yes, I feel I've got some real friends in the scene and I know who they are and they know that we're friends, so there's no reason to mention them here.
Kris: What do you think about sex?
Executioner: My dog and I really enjoy it!
Kris: What (or who) is the most important thing (or person) in your life?
Executioner: Apart from my Amiga and my booze stock? It must be my parents. Who the hell would spend so much money on you, wash you cloth, do you dinner, give you a room for free, care about you?? Nobody, except your parents.
Kris: Do you believe in God? What could be after death?
Executioner: Eh, I don't go to church every Sunday but on the other hand, I'm not an atheist. I'm a so-called silent believer and I respect the church and everything connected to it. Life after death? Well I've been a real bad boy, so I won't come to Heaven. And I won't go to Hell either! No, I've been so bad, so after I'm dead I'll be forced to watch Digital Innovation over and over again, forever and ever in an eternity.
Kris: Amen, he he, I hope you didn't get bored with this phylosophical questions! Now over to the Amiga scene: Please give us your personal charts. Coders, graphicians, musicians, swappers, crackers, groups, demos & boards (If you want you could make some comments too).
Executioner: No, I wasn't bored with these questions. They were actually some of the best questions I've ever seen. I wish all the questions in the interviews were that good! But let's get going with the charts...
Coders: The Spy/TSL - A very skilled coder with new ideas!
Performer/Melon - He showed us some new effects too.
Slammer/Anarchy - Crazy ideas and an utterly great designs.
Buddha/SP - He showed us it was possible to do with vectors.
Zeus/Shining - So did he!
Gfx: Slash/Anarchy - The king! He's good at everything.
Zeeloyd/Triangle - Very good pictures!
Toastib/Bacteria - The best at drawing Larsen Rejser logos.
Music: Moby/DRD - The best. I love his blues music.
Jesper Kyd/TSL - Different music.
Swappers: Estrup/STB - He's got a real swapper brain!
The Pride/Sanity - He's just too fast.
Worm/Anthrox: His speed suits me very well.
Crackers: Crystal - Quality rules!
Nemesis - The background colour of the logo is nice.
Groups: Silents - Probably the best group around!
Anarchy - Their latest releases weren't that good.
Phenomena - I usually don't like Swedes and PHA is no exception!
Demos: Hardwired - Why not?
Vector Exterminator - Still so fucking cool!
Boards: Valby Amiga BBS, 2 MB online, 0 nodes, 1200 Bps HST-ib! (In other words, the modem scene really pisses me off!)
Kris: How many contacts have you for the moment? Do you want some more?
Executioner: I think I've got approximately 70 contacts and I'm always looking for more contacts, as long as they don't give a shit about delays. No, honestly I think my infamous delays are history since I'm through with my exams and I've survived the 2nd year at high school. This 2nd year is feared among all high school students because it's nothing but hell! Homework, homework, homework all day long. Almost no sparetime for swapping, boozing, sleeping, living!
Kris: What dou you think about diskmags? Could you give us your personnal chart?
Executioner: I thought McDisk was cool, so I sent them 30 kb of articles etc. But they only used 4 kb, so McDisk is for sure not my favourite mag any more. R.A.W is the new king. Zine is on it's way down and so is Hack Mag. I must say that I've always liked Scandinavian disc mags a lot. I really loved Cryptoburners' 4th Dimension. It was great fun reading it!
Kris: If you want to say something to somebody else, here's some blank for you.
Executioner: I certainly don't hope that any of you have got the impression that I have any hard feelings concerning the rest of the members who once were in Rednex. I don't hate you and I really didn't want to offend anybody.
Kris: Please give us the memberlist of Rednex and positions of members.
Executioner: Yep! The easist thing in the world mate. Castor is the only member and he's a coder.
Kris: Your future plans?
Executioner: In the scene? Hm, I just want to continue being the one I am. So I don't really have any plans. I intend to keep on swapping and just see what comes and enjoy life! And maybe, if I'm bad enough, I could join Fix Row as a cracker and modem trader with my 1200 Bps super mega dualib modem and my unlimited account on Valby Amiga BBS.
Kris: Who are your favourite musicians & groups (in real life)?
Executioner: What's the real life?? I feel insecure when I move just 2 feet away from my Amiga. I always wear a strap jacket when I go to school. I was too stupid to become a soldier in the Danish army and my dog always beats me when we're playing Trivial Pursuit. So what's real life then.Jodle Birge i radion og kolde NAB i kassen?
Kris: Do you like reading? Who is your favourite author?
Executioner: I guess I'd better be a nice boy again. Yes, I read a lot and I read almost all kinds books. Sci-fi, thrillers, war novels and ordinary novels. My favourite writers are William Gibson, Alistar McLean, Leon Uris, Stephen King, Tolkien, Tom Clancy and all the rest.
Kris: What are the most important problems of Denmark?
Executioner: It isn't unemployment, it isn't the immigrants, it isn't the Nazis, it isn't the Red ones, it isn't the weather, it isn't the prices, it isn't (ENOUGH!). The only problem in little Denmark is that the politicians disagree all the time and they're unable to solve the problems. It's because the political situation in Denmark is rather confusing. The right wing government hasn't got the majority in the parliament. But the left wing opposition hasn't got the majority either. So both parts have to rely on the support from a few small parties. So the political situation is usually one big mess. However, there seems to be absolutely no problems in Denmark at the moment because Lone elsker Poul and the Danes are the ultimate soccer champs!!!! (2-0). Too bad for you Jimmy Stahr and your sticky fingers (hi-hi).
Kris: Please give us your addy for interested guys.

Kris: Yes, here's the end. Some words to end this little interview?
Executioner: Yeps, first of all, thanks a lot to Kris for this brilliant interview. The questions were really good, intelligent and original. (when am I going to my money?). I'd like to say hi! to a few friends of mine...
