Hey Rob how ya doing today?
All good thanks.

What bands were you in before Loud N Nasty?
I played in a Kiss tribute band and I also played in a Punk band in the early 90s.

So whats the story behind Loud N Nasty? How did you first get hooked up with Chris Loud?
He later joined my kiss tribute band as Ace.

I think it’s fair to say ‘Teaser,Teaser’ rose above all expectations ,How do you feel about the success of that album?
Thanks.
Well the response have been great but we want more!
Teaser was just one step on the way get ready for next on!

Loud N Nasty have some real anthems, a few of my favourites are Play Dirty and Saturday Night, do you follow any formula when you write them?
No its just about timing and the mood were in when we write the songs.
I think its hard to follow some formula when making music. If you try to hard to do a song like for example Play Dirty and to follow the same formula you end up thinking too much and thats when it dont feel right you got to write when the feeling is right and when the songs come to you and not you trying to force it out from nowhere.

I have a feeling that ‘Teaser’ is just a sign of things to come would you agree? and what can we expect from the next album?
Sure! Teaser is the album that opened some doors for us and its defiantly just the beginning. We just write the music that we would like to listen to I think its hard to find the type of music I like today so we do it ourselves. And its really nice to know there are more than us that like our stuff too.

What stage is the next album at? How is the production coming along?
We have just mixed the first three songs and we have so much fun!
Those three songs are killers and that is just the beginning!

Whats your best memory of being on tour?
Its to meet all the fans and to see people from all over singing along in the lyrics, its a thrillride!
Can you tell us something funny or wild that has happened to Loud n Nasty?
Oh man, the tour with Vain in Italy was just crazy!!!
Ask Vain and they know all about it Hahahaha!

What your favourite Loud N Nasty song?
I really like Play Dirty and Hollywood dream.

Last year you played five dates in England, what were they like?
We liked UK allot! We did those shows with Faster Pussycat and we had so much fun!
And people had warned us about the audience and that it was so hard to be an opening act in Uk??? We did not see anything of that! The Crowd was great and we loved it!

Do you plan to return to the UK?
We will defiantly go back to UK But dont know when?
We would like to go with bigger show next time. Its not fair that only some people can see the whole thing, you know with pyrotechnics and all.

When you were growing up what was the first band you listened to?

I got my first record from my aunt and that was The Runnaways: Queens of noice And I loved it and still do! And second one was unmasked by Kiss and I was sold!

Loud n Nasty have a great stage show, but who was the first band you saw in concert?
Kiss

What do you do in your time off?
I dont got too much time of But I like to ride my Harley.

What are your feelings about the other members of the band?
Other members???? I thought it was only me Ha ha ha!

What do you think of the current music scene in sweden? What bands do you think are particuarly good?(if any)
Hmm To be honest I dont listen too much to anything new, but I really like Hardcore Superstars.

The album that is expected to be released in early 2007 has been recorded/mixed/produced by Chris Laney (Zan Clan, Animal) who is very entustiastic about the album. The album will include ten rocking tracks and has been described by drummer frecko as ‘ a masterpiece’. Rock Hospital has had a sneak preview of the album and can honestly say it is going to be one of the best albums to ever come out of sweden.

[thumb:86:l]Hey Blacky, How you feeling today?
Pretty fuckin hot and hung over - gonna have a glass of sugar in a bit to battle it.

So when you were growing up what bands did you listen to?
Guns, Sex pistols, Iggy pop, Ramones. Its always been about you punk.

As a singer and a frontman who would you say is the biggest and best?
Biggest prob Luciano Pavorotti, Best was Iggy pop - now its me.

Can you tell us how the Rebels got started?
Ye - Me and Meady Rebel would go and watch bands on our local circuit nodding their heads and having no fuckin tunes. We would come away every night moaning as we hit the white lightning cider. moaning about no-one gives a fuck about what the kids give a fuck about. Rebels was then born. We didnt stop till we had every member who was a born performer.

When the Rebels write a song how do you go about it?
Write it acoustically mainly - thats when you know its a fuckin good song. For me its about the lyrics, its about kids going fuck that happened to me or fuck thats me - or is this dude following me around.
Then we jam the fucker out until its done.

Opening for Brides of Destruction, Gilby Clarke and soon to come Faster Pussycat, what’s it like to open for such great acts?
Fuckin bang on !! some amzing musicians - they feel the same us - theyd all heard about us before they came over and wanted to be part of us as much as we wanted to share the stage with them. Brides were fuckin class A.

Whats it like back stage with the Rebels?
I fuckin stay there on my own. I have no energy left after the show. Ive got to feel like that or id feel like I was cheating the crowd, who’ve come to see the rebels. So straight away its silence and sweat dripping then someone will go for a beer from the rider, then the fight for fair lager share begins.

I am soon to come to my very first Rebels live show, what should i expect from the Rebels stage show?
Fuckin everything my good man !!! Its like a big fight between Punk and Rock staged by circus performers dressed like the coolest cats.

If you could play any band , past or present who would you like to play with?
Iggy

Can you tell us one of your best stories from the road?
No I cant tell you any of the top 25. not here .

The Rebels have recently recorded a cover of Led Zepplin’s ‘Rock n Roll’ for Classic Rock,what was it like to record such a classic song, did you feel any pressure?
No pressure, we know what were doing, we know we have such a grasp on modern and classic music that it is natural. Ego’s aside its the fuckin truth.

The rebels are soon to release thier debut single named ‘You’re just another drug i’ve got to kick’, what can you tell us about this track?
Its about a partner being a drug. You know the feeling . When its over you have dark days and sweaty nights, and you think fuck I need to get hold of her. Just resist. Now that can be drugs or women. ANd to degrade a relationship as just another drug ive gotta kick - is the ultimate kick in the tits so was fun….

The single will be out in late september time i understand?
Correct - i think

Is there an album planned?
The tracks are there - and there is talk of one more single after this then the album, launch.

The Rebels are currently unsigned despite alot of media attention , can we expect to see the Rebels on a label anytime soon?
We are planning our own future as modern day artists can. Labels come in with some money to throw at us then yeah. But I want to keep these numbers anmd followers building at this rate. Thats all that really matters. It creates a stronghold on our future.

What is your thoughts on the new bands coming out of England such as Kid Ego and Towers of London?
Kid Ego - great bunch of fuckin lads, good tunes.
Towers - seem to be one of the few bands who are giving kids what they want.

Tracii Guns described the Rebels as ‘One of the only real rockbands left’, how does it feel to hear someone of Traciis calibre say something like that?
Never thought about it. Self indulgence is probably something ill do once ive got a future in the game.

You have recently toured with Gilby Clarke whom is currently on reality tv show ‘rockstar’ along with Tommy Lee and Jason Newsted, what are your thoughts on rockstars being on reality tv?
If it gets kids back into Real music its served a purpose. Personally would rather cut my cock off with a rusty knife than do it. But awareness of rock is good.

What are your thoughts on the other band members?
Which ones - Rebels - ah theyre all cunts.

The band have a fanatastic fan base which is largely due to the Rebels undying loyality to thier fans, the fans are name themselfs the ‘Rebels’ what are your thought on them all?
I fuckin love them more than drugs, seriously each and every fuckin one of them cats are fuckin cool. They understand what were doing and I understand them. Just wanna forget things sometimes and just throw yourself at someone talking your language. Cool lil fuckers.

Whats next for the Rebels?
Single release, photo shoots, annuals coming out of us as were fuckin good looking fuckers.

So what do you like to do with your days off?
Poetry.

Thanks very much for the interview Blacky, before we end is there anything else you want to say?
Yeah Tommy - I done this whole interview completely naked - well im wearing a hat and a necklace.
Goodbye my man.
see yer soon bud.

[thumb:69:l]Def Leppard singer, Joe Elliott, insists that sex, drugs and alcohol is a part of being a rockstar. Despite the loss of their former guitarist, Steve Clark, he continued to party even harder.
However, Phil Collen longtime guitarist of Def Leppard, quit boozing. Elliot said, “Phil and Steve made (Joe) Perry and (Steven) Tyler of Aerosmith look like Laurel and Hardy. They were out of control, but they never let us down. Rock ‘n’ roll isn’t an exact science. There has to be an element of danger.”

[thumb:85:l]KISS rocked a standing room only crowd tonight at the Chumash Casino, and we mean standing room only! The room, including the aisles, was packed full with fans who were treated to a special intimate show, which to everyone’s surprise included fireworks, pyro and confetti! Gene even breathed fire and spit blood. So much for a no thrills, scaled back show! KISS responded to the intimate setting with an energetic set that included “Kissin’ Time” and the addition of “C’mon and Love Me”.

KISSONLINE photographer Al Soluri took photos at both the afternoon sound check as well as tonight’s show, which I will post late Thursday night. In the mean time, KISSONLINE supporter Kevin Gladden was kind enough to provide us with this photo from tonight’s show.

[thumb:84:l]This guy is just great, not that he delays concerts, he also pick on the security guards. Just found this video showing when he stops the show (go to 4:05 in the video) and tells a security dude take it easy on one person in the crowd. I like that style, I would do that to. Well here is the link: CLICK HERE. You need to have quicktime player, or anything else that can play 3gp movies.

I found this on blabbermouth.net:
“GUNS N’ ROSES guitarist Richard Fortus has dismissed reports that the band’s frontman, Axl Rose, nearly started a riot in England after delaying a concert so he could first eat dinner.

According to a report published in the Sunday Mirror, the 44-year-old singer refused to perform at a reunion concert at the Metro Arena in Newcastle on July 19 until he was given a roast lamb dinner, prompting fans in attendance to become very disruptive.

While the singer waited and eventually dined on his demanded meal, thousands of disgruntled fans waited an hour and 15 minutes for the performance to begin, the newspaper said.

“It was really hot and the crowd was booing because he was taking forever,” GUNS N’ ROSES fan Saskia Green told the Mirror. A security guard said the delay was caused by Axl demanding a lamb dinner before he went on.

Responding to published reports, Fortus has issued the following statement:

“To my knowledge, there was never a bottle thrown at the stage while we were on it. Newcastle (in my opinion), was one of (if not the), best shows of the tour. It was also the hottest! It was a steam bath! The fans were amazing, and seemed 100% with us the entire show. It was a really magical show for me, until the very end.

“During ‘Night Train’, someone threw a coin and it hit Axl and he stopped us and we walked off. We made an announcement that we weren’t going to keep playing if anything else was thrown. Unfortunately, we came back, started the song again and the same thing happened. So we left. That’s what this band has always done when people keep throwing shit. Maybe people were booing in the back. If they were, I sure as hell didn’t hear it nor did I see it. Except for some asshole that ruined it for everyone, it was one of the greatest shows of my life. The Newcastle audience was amazing.

“The press reports that I’ve read made it sound as though we were bottled and booed off the stage, but as usual they are full of shit. That includes the story about Axl refusing to go on until he got a roast duck dinner. Complete bullshit. I know, I was with him. Blatant lies. Don’t believe what you read kiddies!

“The fans have been amazing here in Europe. It’s pretty overwhelming.

“I’d like to personally thank all the fans that have come to the shows. Es”
