Q&A Time

What do you like best and least about being in QEII?
The best thing must be the adrenaline rush that I get from walking on stage and starting to play.
The worst has to be the smells that linger around the van on the way to the gigs. Eh John!?

If you could own a piece of Queen, what would it be?
It would have to be a share of their fortune.

When you are not on stage, is there any part of you that is still like your counterpart?
No. Not really.

Which song do you most enjoy performing, and why?
Has to be Bohemian Rhapsody - loads of keyboards and it always gets a rapturous reception.

What is your favourite and least favourite QEII memory so far?
My favourite is getting the phone call asking me to join the band.
Worst was my first gig with the band. I played terrible.
It was a bit last minute though.
Scooter couldn't play any more due to illness and I'd only had two rehearsals; so I was in at the deep end.

How would you improve your stage performance?
By watching a few more live queen videos and trying to add some "Spikeisms" to my performance.
