I love live music, if there's a band playing there heart out, giving their all onstage I can appreciate how hard this is, even if I don't like the music I can still dig the effort and you deserve all you get. After a show I like to head off to a club or bar and dance (not very well mind) the night away to good old rock n roll with attitude - Motley Crue, Guns N Roses, LA Guns, Cinderella, Sex Pistols, Hanoi Rocks, Ramones, New York Dolls, Dave Lee Roth, WASP, Marilyn Manson, Velvet Revolver.. and my new favourite band 'OKGO!' the list goes on. I also like to chill with my JD and coke listening and watching the headbangers go to it with Motorhead, Iron maiden, Judas Priest etc.
What I can't stand are narrow minded bigots - the people I left behind when I moved to London - the homophobes, the racists and the knuckleheads out looking for a fight.. well for all those people I just feel sad - I've had more fun in a few years than they'll ever have in their life - who's the loser now?
Paul Draper, David Lee Roth, Bruce Dickinson, Gene Simmons, Jonathon Ross, John Lydon but generally cool people (not the burberry brigade or townies). People who like to have a good time all the time!! People who are up for fun and don't mind me being a prat sometimes...
Hard rock, heavy metal, sleaze, glam, some indie (esp. Mansun). See my other interests etc. for bands I like - too many to name.... but special 'current' faves are, The Duloks, Splen, Disarm, Teenage Casket Company, Peep show, System of a Down, Pink, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Danko Jones, OKGO!, Reel Big Fish, My Chemical Romance ...
