YOU ARE INSANE!
Hey guys, i watched a bit of you last saturday @ the Vic in Stroud & thought you were unbelievable! Especially the lead guitarist! Just wanted to know if you are deffinatly playing there again on the 17th of October!?

Eddy.

Thanks Eddy, yes we will definately be playing at the Queen Vic on the 17th of October. The Vic crowd is one of the best and certainly one of the most enjoyable to play in front of. We love to play these cozy pub type gigs to bring us closer to our audience. It's a nice break from the endless touring and Hotels, and naked women, and beer, and..............um !!!! hang on.......where's my contract...........

Dear Rockmungus

Having recently purchased a copy of  your latest CD “Born In the BMH”, my friends and I have been wondering who is the gorgeous hunk who is modelling the “builders bum and copy of the Green Un” look on the cover. Is it one of the band or an up and coming male model? Who ever he is can I have his telephone number?

Miss Pam Unter

Dear Pam 

Unfortunately I cannot give you his telephone number because he is not a real person!!!!

The individual on the front of the CD is Timandy Christix and he a computer generated  character who will appear on the next edition of Guitar Hero. 

Timandy C (as we call him at Rockmungus central) is a combination of the features of all 4 members of Rockmungus. If you could see a full head to toe version of him you will see he has hair down to his shoulders just like Andy, unfortunately he has the same bald head as Stix. The midrift and arse has been generously contributed (sorry that should read the generous midrift and arse) have been contributed by Chris. And out of shot he has the same short, hairy, bandy, bow legs as Tim.

I know what you are thinking…………… a combination of features like that, what rotten luck. Yes ladies what rotten luck indeed that such a perfect male specimen is only available on a computer screen.

Dear Rockmungus

I was surprised that Timandy C is not wearing a Rockmungus Tee shirt, however knowing Rockmungus always have their finger on the pulse of fashion, is this bare chest builders bum image the new look for Summer 2009.

Dear Huw

For the record I wish to distance myself from this “new look”. As Rockmungus manager I had gone to the trouble (and may I add considerable expense) of hiring Trinny and Susannah to give the boys a fashion makeover.

Unfortunately the boys didn’t take kindly to Trinny and Susannah’s suggestions and refused to work with them. Being stubborn so and so’s they decided they could do better themselves.

Timandy C was meant to be wearing a new Rockmungus tour tee shirt however the boys are still squabbling over the colour (I believe they have finally decided on a white writing on a white background). The censor also suggested that we didn’t show a full head to toe shot as Tim has decided and I quote “ Timandy C should be wearing denim shorts offset nicely with black knee length socks and opened toed sandals. Trust me lads it will be all the go this time next year”.

I cannot say I am totally convinced

Dear Mr Temple-Meads
I note you were previously manager of Emersons Green and Palmer, does the band ever get confused with that other prog rock supergroup Emerson Lake and Palmer ?

Noel West, Bristol

JTM replies…….”Yes it happens all the time. Initially I think it is because the two names are so similar also the titles of the two bands biggest hits cause some confusion. Just for the record ELP got to Number 2 in 1976 with Fanfare For The Common Man, whilst Emersons Green and Palmer’s biggest hit was in 1977 with Funfair For The Common As Muck”.

A happy new year to you all. This week the post bag seems to be full (amazing how two letters can fill a post bag) with questions created by Christmas presents and CDs purchased in the January sales.

Dear Rockmungus

I’ve just bought the latest album from The Darkness which has left me confused. The album is called A One Way Ticket To Hell And Back. Surely that should be a return ticket?

Eve Narder,  Aberdeen

Being Rock Gods Rockmungus don’t travel on public transport preferring to use limos or at least a tour bus, therefore our knowledge of tickets and the like is limited. However we have called on the knowledge of Bristolian Rock legend Billy Nomates (AKA Andy P) who before finding fame between Long Ashton and Mangostfield used to drive a City Dart bus between Whitchurch and Kingswood. He had this to say.

Don’t talk to I about return tickets. When I was driving City Darts you could guarantee at least one joker per day would get on my bus and say, “ yer Drive give I a return ticket”. I’d ask where to and the answer would be, “ back yer you wazzuk”  !!!!!

Punters, I hates ‘em!!! (An attitude he still maintains whenever performing in front of an audience)

Dear Rockmungus

I received a copy of Thin Lizzy’s Greatest Hits for Xmas. A totally smoking album, however listening to the song Jailbreak has left me with a question. The opening lyric is “tonight there’s gonna be a jailbreak somewhere in the town”. To your knowledge did anyone ever point out to Phil Lynott that the probable location of the said event was ………..the town jail?

Hugh Jarse, Romford

Julians Answer – Probably, that’s probably about five times a day.
