| Role
in SLT: ...and
on the 8th day, ZiON created SPiT LiKE THiS.
Yes,
it is true, I am a co-founder of this rock 'n' roll nightmare,
but I am one of four, rather than King of the hill. I
write or co-write the music; design the logos, graphics,
artwork, cd sleeves, promo stuff, websites and generally keep
everything up-to-date and ticking over as much as possible.
I also run smellyourmum.com
with ViKKi (I design the tees, sort the site etc) - this pays
for most of the SLT promo stuff and puts a bit of food in our
bellies. On stage, I am the singer. The front-man.
Don't fuck with me and I won't fuck with you...
I
have long had a dream of what the ultimate band should be.
ViKKi and I lit the touchpaper of that dream. With CYNDi
and GiLEZ, that dream is now reality. The four of us have
bought the beast to life and all four of us now shape it - they
are making my dreams come true and I do not want to be on this
journey with anyone else.
I am
the Godfather of the SPiT LiKE THiS Universe. |
|
| Love:
Discovering
something new about myself. Achieving a dream.
Reaching a milestone. A great gig. Listening to one
of our songs for the first time. Meeting fans.
Getting fan mail. Having conversations with my bandmates.
Driving. Enlightening people. Changing people's
minds about me or my band. Proving to people what a great
band we are. Creating something out of nothing.
Creating something that never existed before. Relief. |
| Hate:
Ignorance.
Stupidity. An unwillingness to learn. Failure to
admit fault. Borders. Weakness. Unoriginality.
The un-enlightened. People that take. People
that use. People that abuse. People that do not give
back. People that do not try harder. Scumbags.
Liars. Cheats. Thieves. Wannabes. The
easily-lead. Idiots. Wiggas. Chavs.
Judges. Institutions. Authority. Censorship.
Fear... I could go on for a VERY long time...
Hate Pt
II: The
Real/Fake Tatts
The longer I'm in this business, the more people I meet
that are full of bullshit. People promise you things left,
right and centre but only about 10% of anything anyone says have
even a ring of truth. Well, this fucks me off. I
hate, detest and loath fake people. Whoever you are,
whatever you are, just be it. Don't pretend to be anything
or anyone else. So, I got these so that I can use them.
If someone is fake, I will shake their hand with my 'fake' hand.
If i have my photo taken with someone who is full of shit, you
will know it as I'll make sure the word 'fake' is clearly
visible. So, when you see me in the press, you now know
what to look out for. It's kind of like my bullshit
detector warning!

| Personal:
I was the kid
that everyone picked on at school. I was fat, had a stupid
name and looked a bit girlie. I was a pretty happy child,
not knowing that I was 'different' until I first went to school
and had that fact kicked out of me. At first, I tried to
fit in. I tried to change. I tried to become what
they wanted me to be. But the bullying continued.
One day it just dawned on me that these people were shit.
I was not going to let them destroy me - I was going to be me,
the person I wanted to be and I was going to use them to make me
stronger. And I did. I continued through school
gaining more knowledge about the ignorant neanderthals that I
was surrounded by. Understanding what maked them ticked.
Dumbfounded by their stupidity. I left school a stronger,
wiser person knowing that I could achieve anything. They
say success is it's own reward and, you know what, they are
right! I now occasionally see the people that made my life
hell and Kharma has paid them back. They are leading
miserable lives whilst I am living a dream. |
| Misc:
Official Rock
Devil! Well, I always knew it was true but it
would seem that it took 50,000 rampant rock chicks to confirm
it... I was awarded the title "Rock Devil" by the fans of the
infamous Rock
Chicks Rule site on MySpace. Every month, 50,000 rock
chicks get a chance to vote for the "Rock Devil" of
that month who then goes on to live in infamy on the nearly as
infamous Rock
Devils MySpace site! |

the fans: All
hail the SPiT LiKE THiS SLuTz! You make my world go round
and I feel very priviledged to be part of something that you
love so much. |
He
Said: "There's
no fakery with what we do. If there are girls backstage getting
their tits out, that's nothing to do with us. It's them
responding to what we are and what we're about. Onstage we give
off a certain sexual energy. Not deliberately, there just
is one. The audience respond to that."
Lord
Zion, BiZARRE MAGAZiNE
"So many of
the bands we have the misfortune to encounter are just following
a whim, dressing how they think they should be and acting how
they think they should be. I HATE DETEST AND LOATH those
people with a passion that burns very VERY deep."
Lord
Zion, SKiN DEEP MAGAZiNE
"I want to
make SPiT LiKE THiS a household name. I want kids to love
us and parents to loath us. I want to continue to tread
the fine line between being cool and being credible. I wish to
push the boundaries of decency and good taste. I want a number
one album. I want a number one single. I want to be loved. I
want to be hated. I want to inspire. I want to be me."
Lord
Zion, SKiN DEEP MAGAZiNE "We
are not here to be pop stars, we are here to BEAT pop stars."
