Do you download music, and if so, legally or illegally?
No. I don't like ripping bands off.

Definitely Iron Maiden, "The Trooper."
Musically speaking, what do you love that your friends don't know about? What's your favorite guilty pleasure?
AFI. I like their old stuff; it's more punk. My favorite guilty pleasure is having CDs with naked ladies on them.
What band or artist changed your life, and how?
There's two: Iron Maiden and the Dwarves. Iron Maiden showed me metal, my favorite category of music, because it's so powerful, and you're not talking about shooting people. And the Dwarves, because I've started listening to punk more than metal lately.
Figurative gun to your head, what is your favorite album of all time?
Iron Maiden, Piece of Mind.
