    Here is the latest In The Pit. The next victim volunteer on the list is scudzilla -

    A quick recap of the rules:
    1. Questions should be Rock & Metal related although some leeway is allowed.
    2. Let's not have questions that are too personal. The poster doesn't have to answer anything they don't want to and as moderator I suppose I'll have the final say if something is appropriate or not.
    3. Don't discuss any of the answers on the thread and only the poster should be answering the questions.

    Hopefully that's clear enough so let the questions commence...

    Has a band ever inspired you to take up playing an instrument and if not, who do you think is the most talented musican knocking about the world of rock/metal (dead or alive)?

    I went with some older friends when i was 14 to Donington in 1985, Headlined by ZZ Top, Metallica low down on the bill, i was just hooked from there i suppose. Still into it as just fcukin love the buzz of a live gig and hearing some awesome new shiit from a brand new band.

    Best album this year? Toss up between A7x & Stone Sour, i'd say Stone Sour pips it though

    First big gig i attended was Donington '85, Line up was ZZ Top, Marillion, Bon Jovi, Metallica, Ratt & Magnum. That was the gig that set me up as a life long metalhead. First EVER gig though was in 1982, i was 11 and it was
    Adam & the Ants
    :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Hmmm, person/band i can't stand, gonna have to be Axl Rose, total fcukin waste of talent and a real cock to boot, Close behind was the new Ozzy Osbourne, he used to be one of my hero's, met him a couple of times, now though he's just a corporate whore who's strings are being pulled by $harron

    On boards ya can find me on the MMA forums quite a lot

    Prefer Metal, seems the older i get the more harder i like it, some people go mellower, i go Hatebreed & Cancer Bats

    Tricky one for most underated, gonna have to think about that one.

    Most overated have got to be Red Hot Chilli Peppers, IMO every song sounds the fcukin same, and i really can't understand how they sell out stadiums every time they tour??

    Nice question

    Vocals - Bon Scott (Although RJD would be perfectly acceptable)
    Lead Guitar - Randy Rhoads
    Lead Guitar - Hendrix
    Bass - Clifff Burton
    Drums - John Bonham

    No rythm, i think them 2 are more than talented enough to do both lead & Rythm

    And i'd call them Dead on Rockers

    One of my biggest regrets is not taking up an instrument when i was younger, Most talented musician alive is Corey Taylor, i admire him for the way he can switch between Slipknot & Stone Sour, the guy lives for metal and is constantly recording/touring.

    Most talented musician no longer with us is Cliff Burton, he was way ahead of his fcukin time

    No bother

    Back in 1988 when i was 17, days before interweb, i sent a letter to Maurice Jones, organiser of Monsters of Rock, asking him if he could please (wrote please 15,000 times!!! i know, i was a kid!!!) send me a backstage pass.
    2 weeks before the event i got a Guest Pass through the post :D
    The programme i was carrying was signed by Maiden , Kiss, Dave Lee Roth, GnR & Megadeth, lost the fcukin thing when i moved house

    Here's the 17yr old me wit Harry

    steve88.jpg

    In '91 or 92 Radio 1 (UK) had a competition called 31 days in May, giving away a huge prize each day, i phoned in and won
    The prize for that day was a full day paintballin wit Iron Maiden & Thunder, what a fcukin time we had, took 4 mates, beer all payed for by EMI.
    Found Bruce to be a bit of a cock, he was team captain for one game, gave us all instrctions like go this way, flank them there, fcuk that, game starts and we just ran shooting the shiit out of anything, he went fcukin nuts

    paintball.jpg

    And this is me now, outside of Fibbers, with my wife, who luckily for me is a huge metalhead

    Not been to the New Fibbers, Keep meaning to but not yet got around to it.

    Out of the other 2 i'd prefer fibbers, easier for me to get to (From Swords), and a better beer garden.

    Biggest regret is not learning an instrument.

    Away from Rock/metal there's no album/group that i'll really listen to. I find them all just so fcukin weak.

    I got married last year, had the ceremony on a big boat/yacht in Greece, had 30 guests who went over, family and friends and all that bollox.

    They were a bit surprised that Mir walked down the aisle to 'Shipping up to Boston' from the Dropkicks, and the wedding music consisted of Metallica, Lizzy, Foo's, AC/DC, The Who etc

    Great day though

    alright scud, just want to say i always enjoy reading your posts on Boards.

    If you decided to invade a foreign country of backwards primitive types, what 1 f*cking ear bleeding song would you have blasting from the speakers of your helicopter gunships to intimidate the natives?

    So i'm presuming you either mean France or Canada.


    If it was France i wouldn't need any music, as soon as they caught a whiff of any gunship they'd surrender.
    Did you know that the ENTIRE French army was immobilized for 3 months last year as France's only White flag factory burnt down

    If it was Canada i'd play some Hatebreed or Slipknot, they'd soon give up and leave those poor baby seals alone

    Right on man, some great answers from you so far!

    If you could a new instrument what would that be and what song would you love to be able to play instantly on that instrument? Keep it Metal (not that I didn't expect you to)! :p

    Hey Scudzilla!

    Best gigs, I've a Top 3 for that

    Damage Inc (Metallica) at The 100 Club in Oxford Street, London

    2 days before Donington 1987, a mate and i decided to head to London as we'd heard from a good source that Metallica would be playing a warm up gig at The 100 Club. We were only 16 and our first time to London, awesome gig, about 400 people in there and hotter than the inside of a Russian Submarine.


    Iron Maiden at Donington 1988

    Just an awesome day, apart from 2 fans getting killed, Maiden had been tipped to headline Donington for years but it'd never happened, truly great, i dunno if it was the atmosphere and the occasion but i still get chills thinkin bout that.


    Metallica, Surprise Appearance on 2nd stage (Tent) at Download 2003

    Wasn't planning on going to Donington that year as line up was crap and finances were crapper, heard on the Thurs before that Metallica would be playing a secret set on the Sunday.
    Left the house at 11am, got to Donington at 2, walked straight to the front of the second stage, Metallica came on at 3 i think and it was bedlam, they finished at 4.15 or so, drove home at 5.
    Was a mad gig, if you've ever tried fitting 40,000 people into a 10,000 capacity tent you'd know.




    Worst Gigs

    Been to plenty of dire gigs in my day but the one that sticks in my mind was Pantera when they headlined Dynamo Festival in Holland, 1998 i think it was.
    I had an AAA pass and had met them in the early afternoon, they all seemed fine, but i think Phil over indulged in the joints and booze. They were fcukin awful, Phil kept forgetting the words and falling over.
    Great festival on the whole though, think Rammstein headlined the first night, A very new S.O.A.D shined, Dynamo was a great festival, shame it stopped, went there 3/4 times
