Music, gigs, guitars, the internet, travelling and The Simpsons!!
I'd like to meet:
There's so many people I'd like to meet but Metallica are top of the list. I would be so nervous but I would give anything to meet them. Iron Maiden would be next in line I think. Basically a bunch of hairy rockers that I like!
I've had the pleasure of meeting Megadeth (twice), Duff McKagan from Velvet Revolver/Guns N' Roses, Alter Bridge, Trivium, The Almighty, Gilby Clarke (ex-Guns N' Roses), Kirk Windstein from Down, Jeff Waters from Annihilator, Christian Andreu from Gojira, Davy Carton and Leo Moran from The Saw Doctors.
I love tribute bands - these are my two favourites. The Iron Maidens, the world's only female tribute to Iron Maiden and Maiden Scotland, the UK's best Maiden tribute band!!
Music:
Oh my god, where do I start!! It's all about the mighty METALLICA and IRON MAIDEN!!

I am currently addicted to police shows such as Police Camera Action, Disorderly Conduct: Cops On Camera and Police Patrol.
Books:
Mötley Crüe - The Dirt is my favourite book along with Nikki Sixx - The Heroin Diaries but I love any books to do with music. I loved The Adventures Of Lord Iffy Boatrace by Bruce Dickinson - absolutely hilarious!! The sequel, The Missionary Position was nowhere near as good, with too much focus on other characters rather than Lord Iffy. I also like autobiographies and real life crime books too.
Heroes:
James Hetfield is my ultimate hero - he's been my idol since I was a kid and is the person who inspired me to pick up a guitar.
I also really look up to Michelle Meldrum, an amazing guitarist who showed me that women can play guitar just as well as any guy could. May she rest in peace...
