 | | | | | | | | | | | So what kind of music do you like?
Slayer and anything from the eighties - Flock O' Seagulls an' all that. Visage with 'Fade to Grey'.
He opened what used to be the Rainbow Rocks in Stirling (now Enigma).
What?
Steve Strange from Visage opened the club formerly known as the Rainbow Rocks. What would be your 5 Desert Island Discs?
Led Zeppelin Remasters. It's not their best album but it's got all their big hits on it. Slayer: 'Reign In Blood', Metallica: 'Kill 'Em All'. What else? What do I listen to?
Fergus: Duran Duran.
Nah. No Duran Duran, no way. 'Rio's alright but. The White Stripes' first album but I cannae mind the name of it and The Doors: 'LA Woman' would definitely be there.
Films?
'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas', or 'Taxi Driver' if there was people on the island I didn't like.
Do you get on with people easily or do they get on your nerves?
Nah, I normally get on with people quite easy. Unless they've got four-piece bars, like Keddie [laughter] nah, i'm only joking. I dinnae like people who are arrogant, and that's about it. I dinnae like people like me. And that's it [laughter].
I think most people are the same like that.
What - everyone doesn't like me [laughter]?! I thought Grant was the most hated man in BMX! According to Fergus, I'm the most fashionable man in BMX.
Is that true?
Fergus: Definitely.
Does he lead the fashion or does he create the fashion?
Fergus: He kind of creates it sometimes and follows it other times. Like he kind of started the Slam Bars thing off again.
I've always rode Slam Bars. They're the first ever set of bars I had.
Do you cut them down?
Aye, there's an inch of either side. They're too big when they're uncut. Anybody that's got uncut Slam Bars - just watch Building The Underground and they cannae actually ride a bike, they just want to look like Darren Reid. It's true.
If you could be one rock star for one night, who would it be?
Slash. And I wouldn'ae be playing any gig, I'd just be back stage with all the groupies!
Would you ever buy a top hat?
Aye, probably. If I could find a decent one. Cowboy hats are better though.
What's the best thing on TV?
Hollyoaks. Nah, it's crap. I dunno - Simpsons, probably. Neighbours! Neighbours is my favourite programme!
Fergus: Joe Mangle's coming back [laughter]!
Fergus always fancied Mrs Mangle and the wee dog.
Bouncer?
Bouncer, aye!
Who's the hottest girl ever to be on Neighbours?
That one that's on it now - Sky.
If you were going to have character in Neighbours named after you, what would he be like? Or would it be a girl?
Hmm - I do wear bird's jeans, so that's a confusing question.
That's another fashion thing there.
I started that. I've never worn baggy jeans, man. Ever. Hip hop's got nae place in my life. At all.
Where would you like to go travelling?
Hawahii and Australia. hopefully going to Australia next year. German looks pretty good too, and hopefully Marseille in two weeks but I can't see it happening because Drew's slack. Drew's started playing golf recently.
What's his handicap
His handicap's that his golf shoes are chaffing his blisters.
He's actually got golf shoes?
Aye - they've got lapels and everything.
[At this point the tape ran out and so we'll leave it there before we insult any more people. Cheers, Rooftop].
