RFM: It's Always Zombie in Philadelphia
Royal Flush Magazine released book number 7 today! Royal Flush is a magazine that blends music, art and entertainment, in a chaotic yet perfect way. Created by magazine genius Josh Bernstein, who is also Creative Director at Revolver Magazine, Josh's concept was to offer the public a magazine that was informative, original, and very artistic. One thing that sets Royal Flush Magazine apart from other magazines, is their creativity.
One perfect example of this is the signing they recently hosted at Forbidden Planet here in New York City. The signing feature coverboy Rob Zombie, who brought with his band mates: John5, Joey Jordison and Piggy D. The cover was painted by legendary heavy metal album artist, Ed Repka, best known for his cover work with legendary Heavy Metal band Megadeth.
“Royal Flush is awesome,” says Zombie. “There aren’t any magazines like it. It’s great to leave around forever because there is so much stuff to read.”
Book number 7, also features a back cover featuring the cast of "Always Sunny in Philadelphia". The cover was illustrated by veteran Royal Flush artist Patrick McQuade. Both cover stars agree that Royal Flush Book Seven is not to be missed. “Royal Flush might be the craziest thing I’ve ever seen,” says DeVito. “This is amazing.”
Inside this issue, you will find a double-barreled, double-sized salute to both TV and B movies, plus the usual batch of comics, underground art, satire and pro-wrestling tomfoolery including an exclusive interview with Danny McBride about Eastbound & Down Season 2 and his upcoming movie Your Highness, with a bonus look at the men who inspired McBride’s EB&D character Kenny Powers by baseball author Dan Epstein.
Here are some quotes taken from book 7:
“I don’t need to bench anymore. I just pick up cans of beer and bongs. So that’s how I keep strong,” says Danny McBride the star of HBO's hit series "Eastbound & Down".
Comedian Lewis Black lists celebrities he can't stand: “Mario Lopez is definitely one, and the Jersey Shore cast is pissing me off too. Glenn Beck thinks he’s funny, fuck him too.”
Danny Bonaduce’s fists talks about who he wants to hit badly: “Well, it would be interesting to hit Bret Michaels. I really like him, but it would interesting to see if he died or not,” also adding, “Dee Snider, I’d punch him in the head right now.” Bonaduce also talks about Michael Lohan showing up at his house and challenging him to a celebrity boxing match.
Celebrity stoner Tommy Chong talks bout taking bong hits on stage with Cypress Hill: “It was the biggest bong hit I ever took in my life. I literally had to be carried off the stage because I was blasted. I retarded my mental growth for at least 10 years.”
Danny DeVito lists his dream guests for "It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia": 1.Michael Douglas, 2. Jack Nicholson, 3. Ed Norton 4. Mel Gibson (when things cool off)
Rob Zombie shares his admiration for comic book legend Jim Steranko and Oscar winning director and B-movie king Roger Corman (both profiled in this issue). Zombie says of Steranko, “I love Jim’s Nick Fury stuff. I even met him when I was a kid!” On Corman, Zombie adds, “The movie business wouldn’t exist without Roger Corman. I think he’s the smartest guy in the history of motion pictures.”

Book 7 also takes the piss out of Conan O’Brien, Jay Leno, The Jersey Shore, Justin Bieber, Tiger Woods, Mark Zuckerberg, Lady Gaga, Mel Gibson, LeBron James, James Hetfield, Kirstie Alley, Dustin “Screech” Diamond, Marilyn Manson, Gene Simmons, Patrick Swayze and the return of the Douchebag 100 in another 112 page, full color, pop-culture-skewering bible of insanity.
