Ian about Lee
1. Full name: Lee James Gaze
2. Date of birth: May 21st 1975 in Pontypridd
3. He can’t survive without which album? Difficult. He’s a huge fan of The Police and Duran Duran. But if I had to choose I’d say Reign In Blood from Slayer.
4. With whom would he like to change for one day? With crocodile hunter Steve Irwin. He loves animals, especially giraffes. He saves everything for this.
5. What is he afraid of? Failure. He’s a perfectionist and wants to succeed in everything.
6. What is his worst habit? When he’s pissed at something he bitches at everyone. Also not nice: he likes to make fun of me.
7. Favourite actress? Cameron Diaz and Paris Hilton, if you could call her actress.
8. Cremate or burry? Cremate and then spread his ash over an African landscape with giraffes.
9. For what can you wake him up at any time? Starbucks coffee. First it was Redbull, but he’s going to be addicted to the next thing soon.
10. What is his favourite album at the moment? Frengers from Mew, a Finnish band.
11. What does he always take on tour? His little plush giraffe. Somehow cute. Or maybe weird.
12. What was the name of his first pet? It was a dog, I know that. Later we called him Benji.
13. The most hilarious moment on stage? Someone threw a bottle at Lee. He ran off the stage right before his guitar solo should have come.
14. How does he want to be remembered? As a genius, music crazy person. (Something more, which I don’t understand)
15. What would he change about himself? Probably his head. Something he would say.
16. What is he proud of? Lee is really decent. But most probably it would have something to do with our music.
17. What do you know about him that he doesn’t know that you know it? Nothing. He even shows me his dirty underwear. No skid marks.
18. Did he have a crush on your girlfriends? No idea. And even if he had he never showed it.
19. If you weren’t playing in a band what would he do? Working in Steve Irwin’s zoo.
20. How many tattoos does he have? None.
Score 13/20
