The veteran metal guitarist won’t shed a tear for you… unless you’ re late, maybe
WORD S: DAVE LING
What’s the worst thing about being in a band?
“You’re always waiting for the one guy that’s late. It’s supposed to be a team sport, but every band has one of those guys. That sense of togetherness makes you strong, but when you depend on other people and they don’t do their job or can’t turn up on time you’re pretty much screwed.”
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given?
“My wife Gabby, who was our manager until recently, ensured that none of the band went anywhere near drugs. We were always very much opposed to that lifestyle. Believe it or not, I’ve never even smoked a joint. It’s how we survived these crazy rock’n’roll years in a relatively healthy manner.”
