Rock and Roll StoriesMy personal Spinal Tap moment came when we got locked into the Festival Hall in London by accident. We ended up wandering the maze of backstage corridors carrying a three foot high piece of cheese looking for the one door that would lead us to salvation.
What goes on tour may stay on tour, but B3ta doesn't count. Tell us everything.

Not big or clever kids: About 15 years ago at a rock gig……I was given an ‘e’ during a short break. Oops. Bad idea. I was the vocalist.
I then had to go back on stage to do the second set with the guitarist (in front of 200+ people) to perform a version of Extreme's More than Words (Yes, I know its f*cking sad now but at the time we (thought we) were Rock Gods OK?).
By the time we got to the chorus of this highly vocally oriented ditty I was rushing like a f*cking steam train. Sitting on my Rock-God-Barstool it felt like I had rocket up my arse (and by all accounts, I sounded like I did too - and no the stool wasn’t the wrong way round). Lets just say my vocal intensity fluctuated a bit (imagine the blowjob scene in that sad flick Police Academy only with music and you’ll get the idea.)
Still. It wasn’t all bad. I had a splendid time. Apparently the rest of the set with the full band was much better. The engineer just turned me off.
