"TORQAMADA Torqamada are four teenage Glaswegians who apparently have one perfect loony vision of Rock N Roll to.. "create a psychoholic death juggernaut" whilst fed on a diet of bread, water, WASP, Venom, Motley Crue and Kiss. Performance and attitude being a total full-on rock vibe, expect them to give Sweatmaster a run for their money. Their hearts lie with the likes of Ramones, Turbonegro, MC5, Wildhearts, Gluecifer, Slayer, Kiss, Motley Crue, Backyard Babies.
Their single "Evil Possessor" is out on Blood Red vinyl, their set will be "a howling gale of loose-limbed 100mph punk""

This is your band, yep? Sorry to hear about your singer pissing off like that. Have you quit work full time to work on this or are you still at the council office and this is a weekend/evening thing?

It's funny how with that list of influences you ended up sounding like Good Charlotte.

You've said that about practically every fucking band I've mentioned. No hint of envy here but you don't half hang round with some wankers.

If you're named after the famous inquisitor of the catholic church, it should be "Torquemada"...

you tend to meet a lot of bands when you get invited to do the festivals and shit like the kerrang awards. And generally, most of the bands are actually really cool down-to-earth guys. With a few exceptions.

"but it hasn't stopped a certain rather famous record company
offering us a £570,000 three album deal. And we're not even
taking it! You know why? Because we're holding out for more
cash. You know why? BECAUSE WE'LL GET IT! DO YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE WE'RE TORQAMADA AND WE'RE THE BEST FUCKING ROCK BAND
IN THE WORLD!!! See you later, loser. "

Seeing as he claimed he was on £40k+ a year a while ago, that wouldn't be that much to him. 4 members = £142,500 each. Now, if that's for 3 albums, let's say thats 5 years on average, the total each band member would get is £28,000 a year. Bit of a pay cut for some fame, eh?

Don't forget what you can get from endorsements and if they really were the greatest ROCK BAND IN THE UNIVERSE then everyone would want to use them for advertising.

I had considered that, but I thought it best to wait and see that they were THE BEST FUCKING ROCK BAND
IN THE WORLD!!! Before making estimates as to how much they'd get for endorsments/ad music etc. besides, I'm sure Bill's artistic integrity is above letting his "art" be used for car adverts etc. ;)
