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.

Interviewed Steve Albini... and "his" band, Shellac, for Uni radio, backstage at the Duchess in Leeds. Splendid! Mr Albini had been producer for Nirvanna and PJ Harvey, as well as "front man" for Big Black and Rapeman.
I was all long hair and trimmed goatee and looking very rock at the time - 1994 or so. I was getting a lot of comments about lookig like David Gahan, but damn, I'd had my beard and locks longer than he had!
Anyway, they were all very sensible and somewhat geeky, I remember.
At the end of the interview, we'd wrapped up and were getting ready to go away and edit what we had. Just before we turn off the tape, Steve and cohorts suddenly confer and pipe up - "We have a question for you."
"Okay, what is it?" quoth I.
"Are you in Depeche Mode?"
