Interviewer: How was it growing up famous? Michael: "It was hard I wanted to play sometimes but I had to go to the studio. It was lonely too you know I didn't have many friends growing up" Interviewer: Is it true Joe would abuse you as a child? Michael: "Yes this is true". Interviewer: Can you tell us more about that? Michael: “He would sit there with a belt in his hand and if you miss a step expect to be hit....He would tear you up if you missed a step". Interviewer: So he would do sit there with a belt and watch you rehearse? Michael: "Yes..We were nervous rehearsing because he sat in a chair and he had this belt in his hand and if you didn't do it the right way he would tear you up, he would really get you...But I got it a lot of times” Interviewer: Would he just hit you with a belt? Michael: “Why do you do this to me....no more than a belt...iron chords whatever was around, he would throw you up against the wall as hard as he could” Interviewer: Missing a step would make him that angry? Michael: “I know its hard to understand why...He would just lose his temper I just would remember my mother scream...Joe your gonna kill em, your gonna kill em, Stop it your gonna kill em” Interviewer: How bad did it get? Michael: “I would be so fast he couldn't catch me most of the time but when he did catch me it was bad, he was real bad” Interviewer: We know that Joe was an aspiring musician do you think that had anything to do with him being hard on you guys? Michael: "Yes.. I do think that he's living his dream through us, he wanted to be famous it was his dream and it never happened for him so I think that's why he pushes us so hard, he doesn't want to lose his dream."
