It’s a proven fact that metal is the most powerful music genre in the world and the most powerful front man to have strutted the earth in skin tight Levis was Bon Scott. The first four AC/DC albums are the greatest records of all time. Seriously, just throw every other record you own in the garbage now.Bon Voyage is an OG tribute to the great man and the genre that he owned. Made up of members of SPOD, Black Level Embassy and Hell City Glamours they take anthems like “Jailbreak” and “Big Balls”, douse themselves in Jack Daniels and then blow heads off with extreme riffage.

Name: SPOD Band/instrument: Bon Voyage/voice and drink sips. Drug/booze of choice: Woodstock Tallies. Best metal band shirt: It’s hard to go past an Iron Maiden Number of the Beast shirt, but I’ve got a huge soft spot for Suicidal Tendencies ‘Possessed to Skate’ shirt which isn’t true metal. But the true winner is the Manowar 1992 Triumph of Steel World Tour shirt. Death to false metal. Why metal rules and everything else sucks: North Rocks car park, glass bottles of coke, tight jeans, flannos and hi top Asics with Metallica’s Kill Em All on the boombox is always going to be the ultimate musical choice. Metal is timeless.Name: Mr Shatterbrain Band/instrument: Shatterbrain/sing and strobe Drug/booze of choice: Adrenalin injected into my eyeball Best metal band shirt: Slayer Best AC/DC song: “Back in Black” Why metal rules and everything else sucks: Metal has the power to transform you into a stomping apocalypse axe machine. Everything else is so bland, weak and fake it makes me want to fart on it till it dies.
