Assert I would just like to clear up a few of the points made; there certainly was no one with us from 'mid afternoon' as there was no 'mid afternoon' !!! we drove 7 hours straight to that gig so the afternoon had long since gone! so this is nonesense!!!!! i only remember a very drunk person who ripped off his shirt during a short soundcheck and grabbed the mic and seemed to totally enjoy himself. NO ONE was with us! I don't practice what i say to sound 'super intelligent' and i don't say the same thing 'every night' if you see us 'every night' then you would know that! NO WAY did we criticise any support bands, that is just not our style and never has been. After that gig at old Drakes we stayed with Jeeves and he came to see us a few months ago in Kircaldy! as for 'berating' the audience, some people find my interaction with the crowd very funny, others find it offensive, thats why we are all different!!! its all about entertainment or provoking a reaction, a lot of what is said is very much tongue in cheek. The comments from Andrew G, i find very sad; at no time have i asked 'every U.K. drummer' to play for Assert, i asked you to play on the Exploited tour ( 15 months ago ) and you were apparantly 'thinking about it' i hadto ask 'twice' to get a reply, even then you were not not man enough to give a straight answer!! the inference here from Andrew is that no one wanted to drum for us because i am ' a bit too much for everyone' how come i auditioned 3 drummers , turned them down and still get asked by drummers if they can play for us!!! how many people have you asked to play in your band and how many have left? pot calling the kettle black here Andy? so your the man who turned down Assert , big deal!!! We don't use a drummer because WE DONT WANT ONE!
