Kevin Burges - Bass

Full name and nickname:: Kevin Aaron Burges. Various nicknames: Budgie, Boosy, Wanker Boy
When you were young, what career did you want for your adult life?: Two careers, the realistic one was being a vet, and the unrealistic one was being a 'rockstar'!
If your house caught fire, what possession would you save first?: Mark thinks my bottle of Vodka. My amp would be an idea, but there's no way I could carry it... One of my cuddly toys that I've had since I was about one or something.
What is the best thing about being in Dying Sun?: Having a time in the week that I don't have to think about other things, no matter how much work I've got on, no matter how pissed off I am, I get a break from it all.
What is the worst thing about being in Dying Sun?: Apathy
What are the band's strengths?: The way we work together, the integration, the multitude of influences, and the prolific songwriting.
... and weaknesses?: Having to toss a coin to make any decisions, or it being left to the person who asked the question in the first place.
If you gave up the music business, what would you do?: Be really fucking depressed all the time, and complain to people, and moan. Everyone would just think I was miserable bastard, but they do that anyway!
What event in history would you like to have been at and why?: Crap answer, cos I can't think of any good ones: Donnington '88. There were shitloads of bands there: Guns n Roses, Helloween, Kiss (unfortunately), WASP, loads of others.
Would you sell your soul for rock 'n' roll?: My soul's not mine to sell, it was sold years ago. To other things.
What are you views on groupies?: Above, below, and from behind (NOT!)
If you were a fly on a wall, who's wall would you be on?: Not any one I could mention, cos I've got too many interests. Sorry.
What is the proudest moment of your life so far?: Getting on the stage with Dying Sun
If you were a Spice Girl, what would your prefix be?: Marks suggestion: Haemo-necro-paedophiliac Spice
Mary would say Cute Spice!
Describe the other band member's characteristics.: Graeme: Miserable bastard! Malky: Man of a million excuses. Mark: His unfortunate reputation. Scott: Not being able to remember the riffs he writes, not being able to follow directions or conversations.
How do you view the band's future?: If Mark had his way, in stadiums in Japan infront of 300,000 screaming schoolgirls. (I don't think that's likely to happen!) By the millenium I expect to have a record contract and be going on UK tours.
What's the last thing you do before going on stage?: Go for a piss then get myself a pint of Heavy and a pint of water to take onstage with me.
