MM -
Describe your music and who would it appeal to?

Our Filthy brand of Rock'n'Roll is best described as Glamorous Bluespunk-it'll appeal to rebellious schoolchildren and corrupt politicians.

MM - What bands have you been a member of in the past?

NUN

MM - Do you have an album out at present and if so where can it be obtained?

We have an EP for sale through our website:
www.rmal.dircon.co.uk/q*sling

MM - Where do you get the inspiration for the songs that you write?
Igor: Friends, beer'n'spliff
Paul-Ronney: Life, and its many disappointments and pleasures.

MM - What's the most outrageous thing you've ever done in the name of Rock N'Roll?

Igor: play drums!

Sam: You don't wanna know...lets just say I've got a very special party trick and I'm very bendy!

MM -  Are you signed/unsigned to a record label at present?

We are still to give our autographs to a recording company.

MM -
 Sex, Drugs & Rock N' Roll - myth or necessity?

Igor: It's a way of life.
Paul-Ronney: Necessity-but selling your ass or dying of a smack overdose isn't Rock'n'Roll.

MM - Where do Q*Sling call home?

Igor: Where the beer is chilled!
Sam:...and where we can pass out after drinkin' it!

MM - Which band/artist has influenced you the most and why?

Paul-Ronney: we're influenced by loads of different stuff from AC/DC to the Clash, the Stones, Metallica, Creedence, Zeppelin, Beastie Boys. Why? Cos all these bands played by their own rules and had the songs to back it up with.

MM - If you could take any 4 musicians, alive or dead, to form a super group who would they be?

Sam: Drums- Bonham, Bass-Lemmy, Guitar-Hendrix, Vocals-Iggy
Paul-Ronney: sounds great, maybe Bon Scott can take over when Iggy's acid hallucinations become too heavy.

MM - What would be your ultimate Friday night out on the town?

Igor: Do a hot'n'sweaty gig, followed limousines, chicks, charlie and champagne - and to make it the ultimate Friday night it would have to last till Monday.
Sam & Paul-Ronney: Join Igor.

MM -  After a gig what do you like to do?

Sam: A schoolgirl

MM - When you die, what words would you like them to carve on your gravestone?

Paul-Ronney: Gone Fishing/Igor: Here lies the bastard that shagged your daughter.
Sam: The guilt only lasts till you get home.

MM -  What are your views, if any, on the current 'Nu-metal' scene? Is it just a fad or is it here to stay?

Igor: what metal?
Sam: Sepultura kicks ass-the rest sucks!
Paul-Ronney: all these labels are just something the media has come up with; when I started to listen to metal it was called new wave of British Heavy Metal, and now it's nu-metal. Rock'n'Roll is here to stay!

MM -
What was the last CD you bought?

Igor: An album by Mad Professor
Sam: Muddy Waters-"Sweet Home Chicago"
Paul-Ronney: A dub compilation.
