Inside the Madness: Interview with Wednesday 13 and Joey Jordison of Murderdolls

Originally recorded during their “Women and Children Last” era, this raw and unfiltered conversation with Wednesday 13 and Joey Jordison gives fans a glimpse into their creative chaos, road life, and horror-fueled inspirations.

Where’s Home for You These Days?

Wednesday 13:
“I’m from North Carolina but I live in California now. I’ve been in L.A. a while… not sure if I’ll stay, but North Carolina will always be home.”

Joey Jordison:
“I’m still in Des Moines, Iowa — born and raised. It’s where I built my whole career. I’m not really an L.A. or New York guy. I like to stay close to my roots.”

Animal Lovers… or Not?

Joey:
“I’ve got a cat, Smokey – tour cat! He was in our ‘Nowhere’ video too. Picked him up from a shelter on a whim.”

Wednesday:
“I like animals… mainly to eat. Big carnivore. No tofu or garden burgers here.”

On ‘Women and Children Last’ – The Album Title

Wednesday:
“We were throwing around album names before recording. We were going to call it The World According to Revenge, but it felt too serious. Then I said, ‘Women and Children Last’ — kind of a play on the Van Halen album Women and Children First — and it stuck. It just fits our twisted sense of humor.”

Winning “Comeback of the Year” at the Revolver Awards

Joey:
“We had no idea. We were there to introduce Alice Cooper and they said, ‘You’re going up to get your award.’ Totally surprised. It was cool because it was fan-voted. That made it special.”

Special Guest: Mick Mars from Mötley Crüe

Wednesday:
“We never planned on guests, but we were working on a solo for ‘Drug Me to Hell’ and I said, ‘This has a Mick Mars vibe.’ Our manager called him and two days later, he was in the studio. It was like he was in the band for a few hours. Total legend.”

Limited Edition Album Goodies

Joey:
“We came up with some wild stuff for the deluxe edition — a first aid kit, a T-shirt, and a pill bottle. It was just us throwing out weird ideas: ‘What can we get away with?’”

Still Hooked on Horror

Wednesday:
“I don’t really dig the new horror stuff. I’m more into the classics. The Strangers was probably the last good one I saw.”

Joey:
“I’m all about ‘70s and ‘80s horror — the stuff that gave me nightmares and shaped my music. I keep watching the same old films. They never get old.”

On the Road… and in the Cold

Wednesday:
“North Carolina just had nearly 100 tornadoes. Luckily none hit near my family.”

Joey:
“Iowa gets everything – brutal winters, tornadoes, but beautiful springs and falls. I remember freezing my ass off before practice one winter – wind chill was -60. We still went.”
