1. How did you wind up on the Anthrax messageboard?
That was so long ago I can't really remember. Just websurfing for my favourite band and stumbled here..... joined up straight away.
2. What are your favorite memories of posting here?
Around the release of WCFYA and the buzz of a lot of long time fans for its release. The banter about all these new Anthrax tunes. Good times.
3. Can you tell us something about your personal life? (home, work, hobbies,...)
Married with 2 beautiful kids Jack and Emily. 34 years old. Work as a HR Manager. Hobbies are music and sports, especially cricket and Aussie Rules football (go Hawks)
4. If you were Anthrax's manager, what would you make them do right now?
The obvious answer is release the bloody record. Stop taking baby steps and jump in the water head first, sharks and all. I'd also get everyone to focus.... forget all the side bands and projects for a while.
5. How's the local music scene in Australia? Is the next AC/DC on their way?
The metal scene here is pretty average at best but there's heaps of bands that are more rock & prog-rock that are just killer. Check out The Butterfly Effect, COG, Karnivool, Birds of Tokyo etc for some cool stuff. Oh, and I'm right into Parkway Drive right now as well, for you metalcore kids!!!!
6. What are some of your favorite non-metal bands?
I like a lot of stuff like Jeff Buckley, Marina and the Diamonds, Elton John, Skynard etc.
7. Apparently there's a new Michael Jackson album being released in december, what do you think about that?
I honestly couldn't give a rat's fat.
8. If you could be a famous person, living or dead, for one day, who would you choose?
I have absolutely no idea here. My dream would be to play a huge metal gig in front of a massive crowd, so lets just go with James Hetfield for the sake of it.
9. What are some your favorite personal memories of Anthrax?
