LORD TIM of DUNGEON!
This week I have a 20 Questions with none other than Australia's great Lord Tim, guitarist/vocalist of Sydney heavy metal warriors Dungeon! I must say, it's the best 20 Questions I've ever done and not just because it's the only one I've ever done! So here you go, the only Australian metal singer to be knighted by the Queen of England speaking out on all things metal, groupies, ballsacks and penis enlargements!
=============================================
Here goes!
1. What are you currently up to? This is your only chance to plug whatever it is you want to plug.
Way too much stuff, mostly concerning the imminent release of our new album "A Rise To Power" in August (which everyone should buy at least once)
2. What hard rock/heavy metal band should give up and call it a day?
It's a cliched answer but, Metallica.
3. What are your best and worst memories with Dungeon?
Best memories are in the very early days when everything was innocent and we were just jamming together having fun (it's sad that it all has to come down to being a business at some point along the line if you want to succeed), gigs like the Screaming Symphony gig where the vibe is just so amazing, it really rams it home why you do this stuff... Worst - probably the vibe in the
band just after Juz left in 1998. I actually quit not long after myself but that only lasted a week!
4. If glam metal became popular again, would you release "Slave Of Love" on an album, or at least as a bonus track or B-side?
Nope! Well, not as a Dungeon release at least - I know the other guys certainly would never let that happen! HAHA!
5. Rate the following singers on a scale of 1 to 10. 1 being somebody who should stick to singing in the shower and 10 being a vocal god.
Bruce Dickinson = 9
Rob Halford = 9
Lord Tim = 8 or 9 (if it's a good day, 4 on a bad!)
Axl Rose = 3
Sebastian Bach = 8
Robert Fleischmann = 6
Danny Cecati = 7
Silvio from VP = 7 (if it's in his style)
7. What year did you last buy new clothes?
1987 - can you people tell?
8. Who gets the most groupies in Dungeon, and do you get many?
Stevo and yes.
9. What Dungeon song do you think sucks the most?
The Promise from Changing Moods. No question about it!
10. For $50,000, you walk into a room and there is a nude man with a bag over his head. You are required to walk over to him and lick the sweaty underside of his ball sack 3 times. You may then leave and get paid. Would you do it?
Damn fuckin' right! Das money is good! ($50,000 can buy you a lot of mouthwash! HAHAHAHA!)
11. Rate the following girls on a scale of 1 to 10. 1 meaning yuo'd rather shag Stevo if you had the choice, and 10 being someone you'd even pay for sex with.
Pamela Anderson =
Bobbie Brown =
Britney Spears =
Lita Ford =
Bea Arthur =
Trent's Sister =
Kelly Bundy =
Donna D'Errico =
The singer of Vixen =
Meh, give 'em all a 6 (except Trent's sister, she's gotta be a 9, just to piss Spawny off! HAHA!)
12. What rock star deserves a smack in the mouth and why?
Phil Anselmo for all the obvious reasons...
13. Which do you prefer?
Poison or Warrant = Warrant
Pegazus or Anarion = Anarion
1988 or 1998 = 1988
Melbourne or Sydney = Hmmm... A tie
Marilyn Manson or Rob Zombie = An on-fire tie! HAHA!
Kiss or Motley Crue = Kiss
Helloween or Gamma Ray = Helloween
Schoolgirls or Swedish porn stars = Schoolgirls! (Esp. Schoolgirls who are pornstars!)
Beer or Whiskey = Whiskey (Kentucky or Tenessee)
Trick Or Treat or Shock 'Em Dead = Shock 'Em Dead ('cos it's sooo bad!)
14. Who's the most overrated band in Australia?
Any number of crappy alternative rock bands that get heavy rotation on JJJ...
15. What do you remember about the following years?
1986 = Duran Duran / Pseudo Echo / my first pop band
1989 = Dungeon begins / Money and life ends for 13 years
1992 = Moved to Sydney to make it big. Ha!
1995 = Changing Moods gets us a deal in Japan
1998 = Spent a lot of money on a bad sounding album
2001 = The power begins to rise!
16. Who are the best and worst bands you've played live with and why?
Best - definitely Crimsonfire, Vanishing Point, Edguy, Infernal Method. Worst - Infernal Method because we always feel shit-scared going on after them!
17. Has Lord Tim ever:
Been arrested = yes
Touched another man's penis = ooo! Now that would be telling, big boy! HAHA!
Pissed your pants = Yes - from across the room even! HAHAHA!
Shoplifted = Actually, no! Curses! Be right back...
Passed out = Many a time!
Jerked off in traffic = What is this? A friggin' witch-hunt?! And anyway, everyone does it... You know, 'cos I read that... In a book... wasn't mine anyway... *ahem*
18. What is the biggest misconception about Dungeon?
For metal fans: that we're a progressive or generic power metal band. We have elements of those things but there's a lot more to Dungeon. For non-metal fans: that we just growl obscenities over noisy, loud guitars like all of that other heavy metal shit (and the amount of times we've surprised non-metal fans when they've heard us is astounding)
19. For $5,000 would you: Allow a photo of yourself to be used in a national campaign for a penis-enlargement pump?
Think about it - once people saw my huge penis, they'd be sure it works, hey?
20. Time for Trent Sludge's Word Association! You know how this goes, I write a word and you explain the first thing you associate with it!
Tommy Lee = drug fucked
Pegazus = good
Vanishing Point = slick
Steve Ravic = METAL! (said in a WWE voice)
Crimson Fire = awesome
Iron Maiden = gods
Slaughter = 80s
Limp Bizkit = schtool
Poison = pretty
Bon Jovi = once good
The Espy = fav' Melb. venue
Stevo = perfectionist!
=============================================
So there you have it ladies and gentleman, pretty damn good eh? In summary, Pegazus are "good", he has a large penis, he would lick a sweaty ballsack for money, he's pissed his pants, Stevo is a smooth operator with the ladies, he called me big boy, he's read up on traffic masturbation, he's been arrested, he'd almost pay for sex with my sister, and he gives Beau Arthur from the Golden Girls a 6/10!
That was a pretty damn good interview, and two thumbs up to Timmy for answering it so well! I think I must do some more of these, any other Dungoen members care for a Trent Sludge 20 Questions? How about the dudes from Scourge?? C'mon, it'll be fun, really! Haha! Anyway, I think Timmy has to get the "Balls Of Steel" award for answering that so well and for his Pegazus remark! (Or perhaps a Sweaty Ballsack of Steel award!)
So until next time, I'm out like white sports socks and spandex
