About Me

Who are you, and what do you do?
I am the vocals and musical co-writer for the all new metal unit that is 12 Ton Method (www.myspace.com/12tonmethod) .

I used to be the vocals, programmer, remixer and frontman from Hell for the London wrecking crew that was Needleye (www.needleye.net) .

I am also one half of the merchandising powerhouse that is DNA Labs. (www.dna-labs.net) .

Describe your look in one word:
METAL!!!

Your favourite lyrics (and name of the track):
"Darling it's better, down where it's wetter, take it from me" - Sebastian in Disney's The Little Mermaid.

The soundtrack to our lives would include....?
Music to munch rug to - you know, some dodgy music from one of those 70s style pornos where all the moustached men end up doing the birds on a pool table.

You'll find me at a festival: Propping up the bar / On stage / In bed / In the toilet / Lost / In the crowd / Hugging trees
All of the above with the exception of the tree-hugging. I'll leave the trees for the Emo boys to enjoy.

How far are you prepared to go in the name of money?
In the name of money? Probably to the cash machine and back. In the name of booze? To the ends of Hell.

My Deadly Sins:
Lust: 100%
Greed: 80%
Pride: 80%
Envy: 60%
Gluttony: 60%
Sloth: 20%
Wrath: 20%
Chance You'll Go to Hell: 60%
You'll die while in the throws of passion - the best way to go.
How Sinful Are You?

My Interests

Metal, industrial-metal, machines, computers, gadgets, Jackson guitars, anything that makes noise, distortion, meat, alcohol and films of an adult nature. And Bran Clumps.

I am an M-134 "Mini-Gun"
A true brute, you have a "presence" every where you go. You can take on any opponent with little effort, you're dependable and your reputation does the talking.

What Combat Weaponry Are You?

I'd like to meet:

Pretty women, the monk who first invented cider and the visionary of a man who thought it would be a good idea to hack a pair of combats into shorts.

Although I've been lucky enough to play / jam / meet / share a beer with many of my childhood heroes and musical influences, there are still a few I have left on my list. If I do ever meet you at the bar, mine's a pint of Strongbow....

To all the great people and companies that have helped me on my way along the rocky road to musical achievement, I salute you.

My Drinks:

My Pickles:

Music:

12 Ton Method, Needleye, Carcass, Lamb Of God, Strapping Young Lad, Chimaira, Blood Bath, Fear Factory, Dio, Alice Cooper, Phil Collins, Megadeth, Metallica, Nailbomb, Misery Loves Company, Six Feet Under, Soilwork, AC/DC, Machine Head, Paradise Lost, Iron Maiden - basically anything metal, oh, and the odd country tune.... and lounge music. I do like a good bit of lounge music.

I've also been lucky enough to remix a lot of great bands and get my grubby little hands on their music:

Movies:

The Party, any Pink Panther film, House of 1000 corpses, The Matrix, Donnie Darko, Henry V, Sin City, Clue, Condorman, The Dark Crystal, Desperado, Se7en, Saw, The Green Mile, Spinal Tap

Television:

Yes, I have one of these and I like it.

Books:

I don't really get much time to read, but The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons and The Wasp Factory would have to rank pretty highly if I ever had a list. Oh yes, and any sort of Bongo mag.
