'Radical' guitarist with Rage Against The Machine.
Used the guitar as a 'sampler', in that he could make it go 'woo woo' like a siren. Then proceded to use pedals and feedback to make pretty unimpressive noises.
Wore a cap that said 'Commie', which juxtaposed with the millions of dollar he earnt from three albums etc with RATM. His comments that his band signed to Epic was because they wanted to destroy the machine from the inside, was obviously very naive bullshit.
Now with a very bland, unadventurous, Middle Of The Road band called Audioslave.
Tom ruled on the first RATM album, what he was doing was unheard of before, even the follow up was incredibly different.
Used long words in interviews to sound intellegent.

Get the tom morrellomug. A grassy little village situated in between Prenton and Arrowe Park, that is populated by Chavs, Vermin, Dolites, and the general ilk that is coming to identify Britain of the 21st Century. The estate was built after it was bombed during World War 2, it is currently required a second bombing to wipe out the lowest common denominator, who take luxury in destroying other people's property and set fire to wheelie bins, just to prove who the Alpha Male* is. The parents are unaware, or totally oblivious of what little John Alex, or Tania Ann is doing. It is a mere bus ride away from Birkenhead.
* Alpha Male in the Chav circle can also be identified by his underlying insecurities, tiny wrists, inverted penis, and hairy tongue. He is the first to get hit, and knocked out, if he ever encounters and violence. Usually by his father.

Get the Woodchurchmug. Four piece band from Lawrence, Kansas, USA. Released 'Dragline' in 1993, and 'Death To Traitors' in 1995. Was dropped by A&M, and followed up by small label eps.
Initially dubbed 'Grunge' when they first appeared - they eschewed all the elements that came with the moniker, in favour of incredible lyrical content and strong music composition. They were anything but 'Grunge'
Singer Mark Hennesey had a deep, gargled glass voice, often unfairly compared to Eddie Vedder - his lyrics told a story, and were the strongest points of the band - he now teaches poetry in Lawrence, and it's fair to say he is good at his job if his input in Paw is anything to go by.
Guitarist Grant Fitch's guitar was vaguely reminiscant of southern rock in the vein of Allman Brother, Govt Mule, but only as a reference. Heartfelt and beautiful. Now works in a guitarshop in Lawrence.
Drummer Peter Fitch, brother of Grant, had a John Bonham about him. He never dropped out of rhythm, and kept it going along.
The band had various bassists, Charles Bryan featured on the first album, but left the band and had a song and album title dedicated to him (Death To Traitors). Followed by Jason Megarowski.
If only this band hit the big time, they deserved it. But I'm glad they didn't as they are an extremely special band. They also liked their beer, which is always a good thing about a rock band.

Paw were only partly ignored because the press dubbed them 'Grunge', and everyone was sick of Grunge. They weren't.

Get the Pawmug. Rollins was good in Black Flag and early Rollins Band. After 'Weight' it all went seriously downhill. Even his spoken word is recently unfunny and rambling, and lacking consistant 'truth' from show to show (meaning most stories are probably made up or massively exaggerated).
Balances his massive ego, self-righteousness, selfpromoting and self-appointingness with being quite a cool guy.
He hates soul-less-ness in music, his rants against the rich musicians like U2 are spot-on, he seems to keep going at it, without really selling out (some argue he had long ago).
Has no time for his fans.
Also annoyingly says he 'loves work'. I'd love your job Henry. Do you want to swap? Let's see if you'd 'love work' then.
On top of the gripes, he is one of the 'straightest' performers in the media, and that is a good thing.

Get the henry rollinsmug. Singer who found fame in Faith No More. Later used his fame to boost Mr Bungle (who were an excellent, excellent band), but never received the attention they deserved.
Quit Faith No More, and then quit Mr Bungle, and now makes a lot of tepid music under different monikers.
Embarressed by the fact he blatantly copied Anthony Kiedis, even though he was light years ahead in terms of talent and originality, and his dress sense in the early 90's late 80's, and his part in the 'funk metal' scene, and the fact Faith No More are called the Godfather's of Nu-Metal.
Also slightly embarressed by his typical late teen/early twenties' adventures. Now pushing his thinning career into cult (shit) films roles.

Later divorced Jade, and then went onto host or sparsely starring in dumbed down tv programming. He once played a game of celebrity football, with similar z list celebs
Apart from spreading his flawed genetics through child birth, he has done nothing of note

Get the Jeff Braziermug. Homosexual, radio disc jockey from Merseyside who has hosted a talk show for many years.
Talk show features extremely mis-informed, (and sometimes drunk) callers who generally shoot the breeze because they appear to be lonely and old. Subject matter tends to cover trivial topics, and things they have read in The Sun or Daily Mail newspaper.
Anyone putting down the area (Liverpool and Merseyside) or their residing celebrities, are shot down in flames by Mr Price, because you can't say things like that on the show.
