DEVIL’S ISLAND featuring Talkradio

DEVIL'S ISLAND featuring Talkradio

Welcome to this weeks edition of Devil's Island! Every week we maroon a band or artist on the island and see what they get up to, how they cope with being all alone on a small island in the middle of the ocean. It's not your average desert island and we'll see just how each person copes with the extreme conditions.

This week when we arrived at Devil's Island we find Talkradio sat on the beach. The island is far from their home, so how did they end up here and how did they cope with life on Devil's Island? 

Find out now...    

Welcome to The Razors'e Edge and our somewhat lovely, warm desert island. Don't worry about it's name I'm sure it's not as bad as that would suggest. 

You're marooned here on this island, but before you ended up shipwrecked you chose one album that you couldn't live without. Which album did you each chose and why?

“Superunknown” by Soundgarden. I couldn’t imagine never hearing “Spoonman” again.

Just behind that palm tree is a shack for each of you to stay in, with enough space for you to put up a poster on the wall of one album cover. What album cover do you each chose?

“Unmasked” by Kiss. At least it will give me a comic strip to read. Hang on, where did this poster come from? How did it end up in this room?? Is someone taking the piss??? Was this ship sunk for the purposes of this questionnaire???

There's also a bar on this here island. But alas each of you only get to choose one drink for the entirety of your stay. What's your tipple of choice?

So now I’m sharing the island with a stranded bartender? How long has he been there?? If the tight-arse is only gonna give me one drink, it’s gonna have to be water, otherwise I’d drop dead within a week. How did he end up with such a huge array of drinks anyway??

Your suitcases were lost when your ship sank, but you each managed to salvage one item of band merch. What’s the merch and for what band?

My Foo Fighters concert t-shirt.

You’re sat on the island thinking “I’m stuck here on this island with my bandmates for eternity”… who would you rather have been shipwrecked with?

Given I don’t have any bandmates, I’m alone. Would have been nice if my wife had also been here though.

There's a walkman in your pocket, on the tape inside is the recording of the one live show that stands out for you. It could be any show, from any band, anywhere in the world. What show is on that walkman?

Foo Fighters at Wembley.

You're getting desperate, you decide the only course of action is to put a message in a bottle and hope someone finds it. Your message could be to any member of any band, but should be the most suitable for a rescue attempt. Who is it?

Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden. He’s a pilot.

You've been stuck here a while and food supplies are running low. There's only one thing for it... which fellow band member gets sacrificed to help the others survive?

Like I said, solo artist. I guess I’m gonna have to eat the bartender and serve myself the water. Maybe after that I can have any bloody drink I want.

Finally, when the ship sank you each managed to save one person from the wreckage. That person is the one musician that has influenced your career the most, shaped your way of thinking and your outlook on life. Who did you save?

Dave Grohl. He also knows his way around a BBQ. Could be helpful for the bartender roast.
