Is this better than selling cars? "F**king hell, yeah. But I've always been
in bands.
"Paul's an amazing fella. He's a better songwriter than Noel Gallagher,
because Paul's going forwards. Stove is a really solid bassplayer. And Chad
is just the maddest man in Britain on six strings.
"I've been in the band two months - my first gig was "TFI Friday"! But I was
more nervous about Japan, because it was so important to the band. I know
we're going to develop into something beautiful and monstrous."
Little known facts: Andie refuses to play 'Disgusting' live as he is scared
of mucking it up. He has a piercing known as a 'John Thomas' (Go and figure
that one out for yourself :-)) His nickname is Dogbone. He has been called
'the best drummer in Chester'. He was playing in a local band in Chester
called Wondering Quatrains when Chad first spotted him.
