About Scream Arena

The Band ...

Scream Arena is a UK Classic Rock band formed in 2005 by musicians combining flair and a vision of what good music should be, drawing on influences such as Judas Priest, RATT, Accept, Leatherwolf, Van Halen, Metallica, Icon and Queensryche amongst others.

We featured on the Cover CD of Fireworks magazine with the track 'Heart of the Rock', taken from the independant EP of the same name.

Nick Daniel - Bass Guitar/ Keyboards
Chris White - Lead Guitar
Simon Gillott - Rhythm Guitar
Zep - Drums

Andy Paul - Vocals
Influences?	Freddie Mercury, Ronnie James Dio, Bon Scott, Rob Halford, David Lee Roth, Tony Harnell, Paul Shortino
Favourite Bands / Artists?	Queen, Queensryche, Valensia, The Tea Party, TNT, Kamelot, Rainbow, Judas Priest, Malice, Icon, Leatherwolf, Yngwie Malmsteen, Symphony X, Jekyll & Hyde, The Ring, Butch Walker, Virgin Steele, House of Lords, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Royal Crown Revue, David Lee Roth, Rob Lamothe, Marvellous3, Indigo Swing, Motley Crue, Heaven & Earth, Mother's Finest, Kate Bush, Sugarbomb, Debby Holiday, Talisman.
First gig played?	Some truly horrible school concert. Teased hair, make-up and utter disapproval from the staff, sheer bloody poetry.
Favourite Songs and why?	1) Millionaire Waltz Queen- sublime madness. 2) I don't believe in love Queensryche ...genius. 3) Mama Said TNT- Tony Harnell at his best.
Band Ambitions	To write and sing to the best of our collective ability, with the hope that something we write touches someone along the way.
Pet hates?	People that like to plant steel between shoulder blades while grinning at your face. People, who will stew in their own juices rather than face a problem and then blame someone else when all else it out of control. The virus that is Political Correctness.
Best piece of advice ever received?	Over a bourbon or two-ahem- on a late Autumn evening in Stockholm by a good friend, the closest thing to a brother I have, who noted that if one imagines one's energy as a finite quantity why waste any on those who want to give one a hard time. Good stuff. Downside is trying to live up to such wisdom.
Other interests / activities away from Scream Arena?	Travel- Luxor in Egypt, Moscow, Madrid, Stockholm in Sweden, Paris not Texas have all been the lucky recipients of a Andy K visit. Luxor is one of the most stunning places on Earth, and if anyone out there is even vaguely interested in Ancient Egypt I urge you to go.
Other Favourites?	Authors: Tolkien, Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval, Mark Chadbourn. Films: The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Gladiator. Taxi, Transporter, Belleville Rendezvous, Goodfellas, Lock Stock and two Smoking Barrels, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Hero, House of Flying Daggers, The Adventures of Robin Hood, Sin City, Desperado, Once upon a time in Mexico. Actresses: Michelle Yeoh, Sophie Marceau, Marie Gillian, Isabelle Adjani, Selma Hayek. Exercise: Poncing about with weights! Poisons: Jack Daniel, Rebel Yell, or Champagne ( Darlings!)

Nick Daniel - Bass/ Keyboards
Influences?	John Entwistle, Billy Sheehan, Chris Squire, Hookie, Ian Hill, Joey De Maio, Mark Evans, Rudy Sarzo, Stuart Morrow, Blackie Lawless, Pete Way.
Favourite Bands / Artists?	AC/DC, Judas Priest, WASP, Styx, Turbonegro, Crashdiet, Queen, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Girl, Girlschool, RATT, Cinderella, UFO, Rush, Hawkwind, Marillion, Yes, Icehouse, Sisters of Mercy, New Model Army, Comsat Angels, Beatles.
First gig played?	As singer and bassist with Godz Autograph at The Plough, Hayton.
Favourite Songs and why?	The Great Misconceptions of Me by WASP as it has many great pieces of music all rolled into one as a finale. Tarot Woman by Rainbow as it is one of my first memories of being blown away by a riff. Come Sail Away by Styx as it gives me hope. Trial before Pilate Jesus Christ Superstar because of the sheer emotion of Pilate when he loses it! Trojan Blue by Icehouse - Iva Davies (as well as having one of the greatest singing voices ever) could tell a great story in lyrics and this is my favourite. The World by New Model Army because it sums up all the things I wanted to say about the World but was never eloquent enough to do so! Valentine by Sisters of Mercy because its as miserable as fuck!
Band Ambitions	To achieve the success we truly deserve!
Pet hates?	Humans, Religious nuts, Neighbors, Shirt-boys, George Bush, People who think the World is their own private rubbish dump, Birds that tweet loudly too early in the morning should be bloody shot!
Best piece of advice ever received?	Don't eat yellow snow!
Other interests / activities away from Scream Arena?	Calling Earth
Other Favourites?	Authors:William F Nolan, Emily Bronte, Milan Kundera, SP Somtow, Anne Rice Films:Logans Run, Futureworld, Damage, Back to the Future (all 3), Matrix (all3), Dances with Wolves, Dancin through the Dark (Willy Russell), Rock Star, Spinal Tap, Almost Famous, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Rebecca, Wuthering Heights, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Lost in Translation Actresses:Jenny Agutter, Juliette Binoche, Scarlett Johannson, Juliette Lewis, Audrey Hepburn, Charlize Theron, that brunette off the new Citroen advert (the one in Paris that says most romantic city and the guy says well see!). Exercise:Strong neck muscles from air guitar, strong arm muscles from playing with Stretch Armstrong! Poisons: Beer, Gin Vodka, JD

Chris White - Lead Guitar
Influences?	Richie Kotzen, Paul Gilbert, EVH, Satriani, Vai, Vito Bratta, Albert Lee, Jerry Donahue, Delia Smith, Robben Ford and a host of others.
Favourite Bands / Artists?	Mainly bands that split up or died a death in the late 80s early 90s e.g. White Lion, Mr Big, Van Halen etc.
First gig played?	I was 15 and we were a tad nervous which resulted in a 40 minute set being played in under 25 minutes! Our unintentional death metal version of Every Rose has its Thorn by Poison went down particularly well?
Favourite Songs and why?	Pretty much anything written by Richie Kotzen (Best Voice ever and not too shabby on the guitar/songwriting front either); White Lion (Cracking songs and Vito Bratta was a God), or Jeff Buckley (You have to be dead from the neck up not to appreciate the talent of the man)!

Favourite Songs and why?	Catch Me – Clawfinger – Superb Story Telling Sail Away – Deep Purple – Just so moody Mr Universe – Gillan – Proves Gillan is a true all-rounder Moby Dick – Led Zeppelin – You have to ask
Favourite Quotation	I wouldn’t want to belong to any club that would have me as a member.
Pet hates?	Disloyalty, Fulham losing, Speed Cameras, People who slag off England while sponging off us.
