          THE STEZ STYX INTERVIEW
       | 
        | 
    
     
      |  
         Stez Styx was 
          the original drummer way back in 1981. He was well 'ard and had a crap 
          hairdo. Fond of battering everybody bar Muttley, he was sent to prison 
          in 1986 for GBH and re-emerged in 1990 to reclaim his throne. Replaced 
          by Winston Dread in 1993, he now resides in the land of Scouse. 
        You rejoined 
          the band in 1990, after describing drumming as "a waste of valuable 
          drinking time"... 
        It was that or 
          a clinic-I was doing way too much ale 
         How did you 
          persuade Chorley to relinquish the throne? 
        After my parole 
          board, I rang the Lads and said "I'm out!" 
          No one's seen Chorley since. Strange that... 
        What happened 
          to the famous Ringo haircut? 
        I left me pudding 
          bowl in the barbers. 
          I heard Eddie Shit had curled one in it. 
       | 
    
     
      |  
         How 
          long was Beater in hospital after calling you a "closet queer"? 
       | 
       
         Over six weeks, 
          the cheeky little olive-skinned twat. 
          I knocked 
          the fucking curry out of him.  
         | 
    
     
     
     
      |  
         Is 
          it better living in Macc or Liverpool? 
       | 
      There's 
        more queers to sort out here, Macc has been mostly cleansed.  | 
    
     
      |  
         Slimy 
          hired Winston Dread without telling you. Were you pissed off? 
       | 
      It 
        was me who told him to! I was becoming a liability! Support acts were 
        too scared of me, I used to shit in a bucket and carry it round the house, 
        I was always pestering people for snout, sometimes I just wouldn't turn 
        up, I had dozens of court appearances, nights in the cells.. | 
    
     
      |   | 
    
     
       Stez's 
        1982 kit included a punk | 
        | 
        | 
    
     
      |  
         If 
          the Lads did a final spunktacular concert before retiring, would you 
          drum for one song? 
       | 
      NO WAY! 
        I do the whole gig or fucking nowt!  
        Styx shares his throne with no man! | 
    
     
      |  
         How 
          did you feel about McCavity carrying a dead cat in a plastic bag around 
          with him? 
       | 
      First 
        time I met him I said: "What the fuck is that!?"  
        And the cat said: "Its your new guitarist!" Ha!  | 
    
     
      |  
         Was 
          being in the Macc Lads a laugh or bollocks? 
       | 
      A laugh! 
        A big fucking laugh!  | 
    
     
      |  
         What 
          was the best prank? 
       | 
      Glueing 
        Bach to the seats in McDonalds! We all legged it, and he couldn't get 
        up! Panic set in, then "RIIIIPPPP!" 
        Bach comes legging it after us, and the arse of his pants is still stuck 
        to the seat. | 
    
     
      |  
         Did 
          you ever get left behind? 
       | 
      Yeah- 
        somewhere in Anglesey. They came back after about 10 minutes- shit scared. 
        I knew they'd come back. And I know who voted to come back, and who voted 
        to leave me....  | 
    
     
      |   | 
    
     
      |  
         What 
          was the most violent gig? 
        
       | 
      I 
        never noticed any REAL violence at any gigs | 
    
     
     
      |  
         What's your favourite 
          song?
