Q) Who would be in your fantasy supergroup? 

Pantera back in the day was pretty much it.


Q) What's your favourite song ever and why? 

This changes more often than Sweeney dribbles down himself. At the moment it's probably Johnny Cash's version of NIN 'Hurt'. It's a haunting song, and the man in blacks' voice just sends shivers down my spine.


Q) What's your favourite album ever and why? 

Probably "The End Of Heartache" by Killswitch Engage. It's a damn-near perfect mix of brutality, melody and beauty and was the soundtrack to a very special time in my life.


Q) What is your favourite alcoholic and normal beverage? 

Alcoholic - Woodford Reserve Bourbon, but due to budgetary concerns, the usual answer is Carlsberg. I love decent coffee too, either with or without alcohol!


Q) What is the most embarrassing CD you have in your collection? - Full answer needed (no cop outs) 

None of them are particularly embarrassing, although some of the reasons for me having them are. I own an Isaac Hayes CD specifically for the purposes of *ahem* "entertaining" ladies.


Q) What's the most rock 'n' roll thing you've ever done? 

On my one-and-only holiday in LA with some mates, we met up with some friends at the Rainbow Bar & Grill on Sunset Blvd. We all got rather drunk and after meeting Lemmy at the bar, one of the girls drove us down Sunset to the motel while we hung out of the sunroof singing Poison songs. The rest of the evening is not suitable for a family audience. It was a lot of fun though!


Q) Best piece of advice?

Don't nudge the Rabbi.


Q) Favourite joke? 

How do you confuse an idiot? Purple monkey.


Q) What's your favourite film of all time? 

Star Wars. 'Nuff said.


Q) Say the first thing that comes into your head? 

Why would you want to put it there?


Q) Dogs, Cats or Bats?

Dogs.


Q) What's your favourite thing in the world? 

The love of a good woman. Or preferably, a bad one.


Q) Favourite place you've visited? 

Venice. I spent 4 hours wandering round trying to find the church they used as a library in 'Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade', just so's I could get my picture taken in front of it while wearing my fedora. It was worth it...


Q) Star Wars or Star Trek? 

Star Wars. Any other answer would be an affront to decency.


Q) Tell us something funny about yourself? 

My left nipple is approximately 1.3mm lower than the other one.


Q) Have you got any phobias? 

Argyll sweaters and bizarrely, Luxembourg.


Q) Why should people listen to Real Radio XS?

Because you won't find a better mix of kickass rock anywhere else. And it'll keep me in a job, obviously.


Q) What was the first gig you ever went to? 

Extreme at Sheffield Arena in - I think - 1993. I'll have been about 13.
