You have been on the road for a long while, how do you see on that fact
that you have been with us for over twenty years?

WELL IT DOES'NT SEEM THAT LONG TO BE HONEST ,IT'S JUST OUR LIFE

Was it better or more fun to play back then, and what´s the difference?

THERE IS NO REAL DIFFERENCE WE WERE OBVIOUSLY MORE NIAVE BACK THEN AND SO HAVE LEARNT SOME OF THE TRICKS-OF-THE-TRADE,BUT IT'S AS FUN AS IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN.

It seems like it was more important how you looked back then , how
important is punk to you nowadays and what does punk mean to you nowadays
and how have it changed?

WELL I SUPPOSE WE LOOK A BIT OLDER BUT THAT IS SOMETHING YOU CAN'T CHANGE (UNLESS YOU HAVE PLASTIC SURGERY) LIKE I SAID BEFORE  IT'S OUR LIFE SO YOU TEND NOT TO THINK ABOUT IT REALLY

You changed your music many years ago and went away to some more
heavymetaloriented stuf, why did you do that then and what got you back to
the punkstyle?

WE HAVE NEVER MADE HEAVY METAL,I HATE HEAVY METAL

The new record is typically GBH, what does your sound so typical do you
think?

IT'S BASIC, LOUD, FAST ROCK'N'ROLL

What drives you to play music?

IT'S A KIND OF RELEASE FOR US, IF THINGS ARE PISSING ME OFF I WRITE A SONG ABOUT IT,AND FIND A SOLUTION,IT'S THERAPY

Please describe your music in three words?

LOUD  FAST  ROCK'N'ROLL (ROCK'N'ROLL IS ONE WORD!)

How is politicall in England right now?

WELL THERE IS A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON WITH OUR FIRE FIGHTERS ,AND ALSO TERRORISTS, IRAQ, AND THE USUAL BULLSHIT WITH THE ROYAL FAMILY

How did you react when the terrorattackwas, was it with anger, fear or
what?

IT WAS A MIXTURE OF BOTH ,IT'S HARD TO ACCEPT THE DEATH OF INNOCENT PEOPLE ,IT'S NOT TOO SHOCKING WHEN SOLDIERS DIE BECAUSE THAT IN A WAY IS PART OF THE RISK THEY TAKE WHEN BECOMING A SOLDIER, BUT ORDINARY PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE TARGETS

Have it changed your life anything?

HAVING CHILDREN PROBABLY CALMED ME DOWN A BIT , WHEN YOU REALISE YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OTHER HUMAN BEINGS

Can music change anyones life you think, any example on that?

ME, I HAD NO INTEREST IN MUSIC AT ALL UNTIL PUNK CAME ALONG
