Style and Influences
Spaniolo has cited Kiss as an influence, noting that "I was too little to understand it was all about sex and women - I just the face paint, pyro, and rock riffs." He has said, "I've always wanted to do a Rock album and to date Mutant was the closest thing to it we have ever done, so it holds a special place in my heart."
His interests in both horror movies and comic books have also had a major influence on his music. Spaniolo describes his work in Twiztid "as if there was a Halloween or Friday the 13th on wax and Jason and Michael Myers could actually rap." His stage name is taken from the Marvel Comics superhero "The Multiple Man" Jamie Madrox, and he has made reference to "The Multiple Man" nickname in song. The special tour-edition of his album Phatso was titled Phatso: The Earth 2 Version, alluding to the parallel world in the DC Multiverse Earth-Two.
