DEVIL'S ISLAND featuring Naked Sunday
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 Naked Sunday 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?
Well Chinese Democracy by Guns n Roses for myself Martin, if we’re going to be marooned I may as well enjoy in my eyes one of the finest albums made, and a proper copy not a pirate copy gaarrrhh, I know Laura would choose any thing Motley Crue, Liam Foo’s and Alex Ufo.
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?
I think for me Martin, it would very easily be Aerosmith Get a Grip that cover is udderly brilliant, Laura would be Shout at the devil Motley Crue so she can still do all her devil worshiping, Liam still pushing the Foo Fighters thing The Colour and the Shape , just so each night when we’re bored he asks us what colour and shape he’s thinking of, Alex weirdly has gone for a bolder more defined choice in Led Zeppelin 3 so if we find any psychedelics we can trip out.
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?
Newcastle Brown Ale for me, Wye-Aye man I’m gooonnna take the dog for a walk, Laura is the Fireball Queen so that’s for her, Liam is taking staropramen, and Alex is more sophisticated..Red Wine. Oddly enough I hear the pirates stole our Rum supply.
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?
I got my Kiss Coffin, its a little big but acts as a boat to catch fish. Liam gone with a set of Dave Grohl Drum sticks (firewood in my eyes) Alex went with his personalised plectrum, said he wasn’t being picky and Laura she chose a Yungblud thong, may as well top up that tan.
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?
In all honesty Gillian Anderson, I think that would sort me out 😉 perhaps she could help solve the mystery of why we are stuck? Laura would probably prefer Josh Todd of Buckcherry, she claims just for conversation, Alex and Liam both want Dave Grohl, I’ve told them one of them will have to have the watered down version Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen.
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?
QUEEN The Freddie Mercury Tribute, that way we get a varied mix, it could help us when Under Pressure, or when one of us wants to Break Free.
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?
It’s David Bowie, everyone knows that, even though sadly he’s passed away, I know Dave would come back to help us, he could be our hero...just for one day.
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?
Alex, I’ve always looked at him like lovers do and thought, you’d make a good steak, bit of Fireball for seasoning and good to go, it would be a fitting tribute to Naked Sunday, we strip him down... then eat him, perhaps we will cover a Cannibal Corpse track in his honour.
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?
I saved Jim Morrison and he then led me to the desert he said we were going to put a festival on, he said ...if you book them they will come, I’m still sat on this goddamn island and no ones arrived.
Laura saved Nikki Sixx, but I had to get rid of him, he kept talking too much.
Liam saved Dave Grohl currently they have a band together that’s a tribute to drinking tea, they are called the Typhoo Fighters, and Alex saved none other than Frank Zappa, he’s hoping by saving Frank we don’t sacrifice him.
