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.

Kingmaker ...played a hall party while I was at Nottingham Uni. At the time myself and a friend were involved in the student radio station, and Alex (sod changing names) grabbed a tape recorder (this was a while ago) and we strolled into Kingmakers dressing room after their set with the vague idea of interviewing them.
Alex sets the stuff up, grabs one of the guys standing around and starts.
"This is Alex Jones, reporting for URN, backstage with Kingmaker. With me is ..."
"John" supplies the bemused interviewee.
"Great John, and what do you do in the band?"
"I don't, I hang around trying to get my t-shirt signed by them"
Fortunately, Kingmaker saw the funny side and did grant him an interview despite being a bit put out. Alex starts with ...
"I don't really like you, but that performance was great"
Genius.
My mum also claims to have sold Lemmy a cream cake. This may be true, as they were playing locally at the time, but given my mothers low grade insanity (it affects all mothers I think), it was probably just some bloke with long hair.
