TM- What can fans expect from your Australian tour?

 

SI- They can expect a lot of stories, I have been fortunate enough to live a very interesting life for three or four decades. I have seen a lot of things and I have participated in a lot of things met a lot of people. Being part of some crazy s*** that you can't even makeup and i share that with the audience.

 

 

TM- In your VIP experience you meet your fans and have a beer with them what inspired you to do it?

 

SI- I toured the UK a few years ago and got offered the idea of doing a VIP experience. I wanted it to be something different so I thought it would be nice to sit down with a fans and have a beer instead of just meeting them and getting a photo.

 

 

TM- You bought out your book access all areas last year, what is your favourite story from that book?

 

SI- Its probably not going to be one of the ones i talk about in my shows but it was one where I was at my grandparent's house on the Jewish holidays and I went into my grandparent's bathroom and there was a fish swimming in the bathtub. I found out it was going to be turned into a meal and I didn't like that, after that I couldn't even look at people eating it just made me want to vomit.

 

Maybe my Madonna story, I'm hoping up to come up with a person that I can actually tell. I have never actually told it live before, I have only written about it.

 

 

TM- You hosted a rock show on VH1 for a year and you dress like Gene Simmons and interviewed Ozzy Osbourne what inspired you to dress like Gene?

 

SI- I am a huge Kiss fan.

 

 

TM- Who was your favourite person to interview on your radio show?

 

SI- Marc Maron he's an American comedian writer and actor he's got a podcast called the WTF podcast he's the best interviewer he has the best podcast show and I asked if he would be on my show and he said yes

 

 

TM- If you could have any band play one of your songs which band would it be which song and in your style or theirs?

 

SI- My first Instinct was to say Iron Maiden because Bruce could definitely sing it, but it will be cool to have Paul McCartney to sing a song that I co-wrote because then you could say a Beatle sang one of my songs.

 

 

TM- That's awesome! I would love to hear Paul McCartney do a version of one of your songs, it would be interesting to see what he would do with it.

 

SI- Definitely 

 

 

TM- so we asked some of your fans some questions and we would love to know the answer, here we go. 

 

TM- Who do you think plays the best Batman?

 

SI- My gut says Michael Keith except I love Christian Bale from Batman as well. 

 

 

TM- A couple of years ago you saw a tattoo of Ronnie James Dio that you thought was the best you've ever seen, have you ever seen any better since?

 

SI- I definitely have not seen any better tattoos than that one.

 

 

TM- What is your favourite Anthrax album?

 

SI- The next one

 

 

TM- Which artist would you most like to collaborate on a song with?

 

SI- Lin-Manuel Miranda because I went to see the movie Moana with my son when it came out and I didn't know it was a musical. I am not a big fan of musicals. In that movie, I turned around to my wife and was like how am I going to sit through this for the next 90 minutes. The guy in that movie was so good and so great that I actually asked the head of our record label is there any way to get in touch with him because I want to work with him.

 

 

TM- Is there anything else you want to announce to your fans?

 

SI- I am super excited to come down there to do this show, I thought I was just coming down to be at the Brisbane and Sydney Comic-Con. I was able to figure out a way to add these talking shows into the mix and I couldn't be more excited about it, so come out to my show and you'll have a lot of fun.

 

 

TM- That is awesome, we look forward to having you in Australia and can't wait to see you down under, Thank Yoy for having this interview with me today.
