Favourite revel?

Hi @the_ravens

So many questions, so little time

  • what was your role in the band?
  • highlight of the band’s career?
  • any special requests on your rider?
  • give percentages for the following: Sex? Drugs? Rock’n’Roll?
  • Myspace or Bandcamp?
  • will the band ever get back together again?
  • and what if Barry Hogan offers you serious $$$ to reform?

Hi stickboy

With pleasure.

I currently use Bulldog range products because a) mrs_r did some research and they’re supposed to be reasonably ethical b) they’re almost always on offer at Sainos c) I without fail start humming Hey Bulldog by The Beatles when using them which is a nice little lift.

I wash daily, sometimes twice, with the face wash.
Weekly with the face scrub
Moisturise with one of the aging man moisturisers
I also infrequently use Kiehls ultimate strength hand salve which is lovely and I should use more often.

Hi @the_ravens

Please list 3-5 things from your bucket list. It’s OK to include things you’ve already ticked off, but in those cases, could you tell us whether it was worth it please?

Hi ttf - toffee > coffee >>> raisin = malteser > chocolate >>> orange

but i like them all really, could probably just skull a whole bag in one mouthful and combine the flavours

Hi aboynamedgoo,

  • bassist and backing vocals, songwriting
  • there are two - playing to the crew of the Acoustic stage at Glastonbury for their post gig party and supporting Cud at the Hootenanny in Brixton (we came on after them so technically they supported us lol)
  • fizzy water, corona
  • sex:drugs:rocknroll 30:50:20 (mrs_r was the singer so the 30 is probably skewed a bit)
  • myspace - bandcamp was only starting to get big when we were on our way down
  • probably not as a regular thing but as a one off, maybe
  • if it covers childcare for rehearsal time then YES!

Follow-up questions: favourite bassist? And why?

Hi paidinfull

  • playing at a music festival - sort of ticked off with the back stage thing which was a) worth it 1000% b) not really playing the festival so it remains unticked
  • going round the world - I did this in 98 and it was absolutely worth it (Mexico, USA, Fiji, Australia, Hong Kong and China - were all brilliant). If I were to do it now I’d like to try it without flying (trans siberian or something)
  • parachute jump
  • going back to Gorges du Tarn and climbing some of the 4 pitch routes which I chickened out of when I last went (the first pitch takes you above the tree tops and you then feel very exposed)

How’s that?

Recently @xylo had a rant about the misrepresentation of rare book shops in TV/film.

Do you have an irritation in dramas that always gets you when you see it?

Sorry again @the_ravens

Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue.

Because underneath it all I’m still a 16 year old boy. And I love the Thunderbird

Hi @the_ravens

When was the last time you used BluTac?

#43

crikey - the answer is lost to the mists of time, but if memory serves we had a lot of brainstorming sessions and from a shortlist (which I definitely can’t remember) we found that it wasn’t taken on myspace or something.

I also used to be in a band called Strokeable which I think is a much better name

I’m now slightly inured to the irritations of these things so it manifests itself as amusement, but the representation of hackers, hacking or coding always gets me. Mainly because it makes people think that’s what I do and how I do it and the reality is soooo much less exciting which makes me sad

Nice list. I went USA -> Fiji -> Australia many moons ago, but then Indonesia -> Malaysia -> Thailand
