Errr that would be, in no order of preference
Alcohol
Halford (Gay metal singer, not the bike shop)
Dickinson (Bruce not the orange antique bloke)
Perry (Steve, ex Journey & the cider variety too)
Moggy (Phil from UFO not the cat variety)
Harris (That would be Sean of Diamond Head, although if i were a bassist the Arry fella from Maien would be in there)
The Wife ;-)
Gav
Joey DeMaio (Manowar) Top bassist and wearer of loincloths
Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) The ’bomber’
Cronos (Venom) Master of noise and filth, bass playing ..... oh yeah!!
Cliff Burton (metallica) R.I.P. . . ’the bell still tolls!’
Troft
Early Influences were Quo – Rossi/Parfitt – when they were a decent Band
Tony Iommi – The Riffmaster!
The Schenkers – both Rudolph and Michael – are they sober these days!
Always loved the twin axe attack Bands – Iron Maiden – Dave Murray and Adrian Smith. Judas Priest – Glen Tipton and KK Downing. Thin Lizzy - Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson.
Also love listening to Blues stuff - Eric Clapston/Gary Moore/Rory Gallagher (RIP)
These day’s still listen to - Slash (VR), Dave Gilmour, - oh and that Petrucci fellow isn’t bad.
Andy
No real surprise on my Influences...
Neil Peart (Rush), probably the finest living drummer.
Peter Criss (Kiss), it was the solo on Kiss Alive made me want to be a drummer.
Ian Paice (Deep Purple) Still can’t play Fireball after 30 years of trying.
John Bonham (‘nuff said)
Band wise:
Rush, Kiss, Deep Purple, Led Zep, Judas Priest, more recently Evanescence and Nickleback
Sounds Like
Metallica
Judas Priest
Thunder
UFO
Black Sabbath
AC/DC
Iron Maiden
And so it began! In a garage on some posh estate. Four blokes with a combined age 167 plugged in their amps,screamed down microphones and bashed some skins. Wolfpack were on the road to 'reunionsville'. Cast your minds back to the glorious days of the 70's. A bag of chips cost thruppence,ale was cheap, and waggon wheels really were a lot bigger than they are today.Five young men (two of em with daft names) decided to form a band.After a little bit of self tuition and an awful lot of posing practice,these young men created a band that would go down in the anals of rock history.A local band playing for local people,Wolfpack trod the boards building up a fanbase mainly of drunks,winos and folk who had nowt better to do than go down the pub and get some serious 'earhole damage'.As the band got better,so did the clientelle,gigs were coming thick and fast,(as were their audience)and before they knew it they were on the rocky road of rock n roll.The mid 80's saw a few line up changes and offshoots of the original band,and keeping up with the times the music changed too! The only thing that stayed the same was their hairstyles and drinking habits. Fast forward to 2006! The word on the street is 'reunion' and not wanting to miss out on the odd fiver and a few free beers, Rab and Graeme come up with the idea of a reformed,original line up reunion gig. Sam the original drummer could not be located,so his sticks were picked up by Andy and as for a permenent singer my old mate and serious drunkard Nige was given singing honours.With gigs a plenty but a serious lack of groupies, Wolfpack can be found in a town or village near you, so if you want a bit of nostalgia,fine ale and a sore head then check em out.You are bound to know a tune or two,I certainly did! A great setlist and a great bunch of blokes and not bad merchandise for the price.
WOLFPACK XMAS SHINDIG 2008 (yes i know it's only May!!)
Jingle Bollocks/No Sleep till we wake the neighbours up/xmas bash.
Friends,Romans and Wolfpack fans.You are hereby invited to a 30th Annivarsary (are they really that old) bash at The Central Reform Club Halliwell on the 20th December 2008.If you have trouble locating the place then just ask for The Roundhouse(same difference).
Why such an early announcement I hear you ask?
Think about it? These guys are getting on a bit,so they need to get in shape.
Mr.Rab has been seen entering a certain health spa to rejuvinate himself ,whilst Troft and Gav have been spotted in Boots the chemists buying facepacks and oil of oldage. Nigel was last seen talking to a horse in Queens park, meanwhile Andy is convalescing at the 'Keith Moon' drop in centre somewhere in Brighton, having his wrists re-built due to drum abuse!
Tickets for the event are £5 (could see a proper band for that) and are available at gigs or on the website via paypal.
It is hoped that former members will be attending the gig to either join in with current band crew to perform or carry on with their lawsuits!
I myself may not be attending as I have chose that particular evening to stay at home and shave my ass! Come along to the show and let your hair down(if you got any) and take a trip back in time to when men were men but all the guys wearing spandex got all the nice birds.
Merry Sexmas and A Happy New Rear!!!!

Thanks for the feedback. If that was Gav who posted the comment, then you might remember me. I used to be in a band called Imminent Demise. We used to practice next to you at the Boilerhouse. Anyway, those were great gigs you did at Domonic's and Space City all them years ago. I'll try and catch you live sometime.
