The last new bands I listened to were Eternal Champion, Sumerlands, High Spirit, Substratum. classic bands like Sacred Few, Manilla Road, Witch Cross, Cirith Ungol. Also lots of classic guitar rock and heavy rock from the 70's, early Priest, Nugent, Kiss.

Coolest thing I've done: Touring around the world playing my own music.

Most embarrassing moment: Way too many to mention, fallen off the stage a few times drunk. In Savage Master, we have had all kinds of costume malfunctions, it's hard to see in those masks!
