On your Myspace it says 'Fozzy - We Are Huge Rock Stars', so what's your most Rock Star moment?
Walking on stage for Download in 2005 and hearing 20,000 fans chanting Fozzy before we even started, if I had told someone in the crowd to take off their pants they would have!

Your music goes best with.
Liver and a fine Chianti.

What's on your rider or do you have any pre-gig rituals?
3 bottles of Jack Daniels that I then sell to the fans after the show for extra profit.

What's harder to get into the tight leather pants of rock or the skin-tight lycra of wrestling?
It's harder to get into the pants of groupies wearing either; this ain't the 70's any more.



What's the best gig you've ever played?
All of them of course, but the worst gig we ever played was in Savannah, GA when we opened for the Murder Junkies, they are a hard core punk band and the skinheads in attendance didn't appreciate our metal majesty.

Ever had a rock related injury?
I chipped my tooth on a microphone when I got too excited head banging.

If you could throw any other band in the ring and bust out one of your many finishing moves, which band would it be and what finishing move would you use?
Miley Cyrus and I would bust out the wank-a-licious.

Funniest groupie proposition/moment?
The girl in the crowd that was wearing a necklace made of bones that said she wanted to eat my soul.

What's the most evil thing you have ever done?
Eating Rich Ward’s (Fozzy’s lead guitarist) Jelly doughnut.



What's the craziest thing you've seen at a gig/festival/match?
The guy at Bang Your Head Festival in Germany in 2002 that was dressed as Friar Tuck and he was serious about it.

What's the worst state you've ever left a hotel room in?
The room where I tried to throw a TV out the window but the window didn't break so I ended up with a smashed TV in the room instead of out.

If you could support any act in the world who would it be and why?
New Kids on the Block reunion tour.....do I really need to give the reason?

Biggest regret?
That I didn't take the gig singing for Keel when I had the chance.

What can punters expect from one of your gigs?
The best time of their lives!
