"You can't survive out there without a razor blade for a tongue."
That was the truth. He had to constantly be one step ahead of everyone else. Ziggy contemplates quietly for a moment.
"We're playing in North London in a few weeks. Maybe you should come down and play a set before us?" He hadn't met Gilly's brother in person but why not. It was probably foolish to put both of them together but the offer was made now.
"You're right there, mate. Some bastards just take advantage of you and me and Gilly don't let that happen. We give them a fucking licking with our own trashmouths."
Ziggy would no doubt know this from the way Gilly often bitched about things or spouted his usual shit when angry or pissed off. Billy was the same but viewed himself as the more mature of the brothers, being older.
"Oh yeah? Sounds good to me. I'd like to meet Weird and Ronno too. See how they are on their guitars and what riffs Ronno can perform. Maybe we could have a guitar face off."
"Fuck them. They think we have to conform to their shit norms." Ziggy was pretty hateful about some of them, particularly the press. He could definitely hear some of Gilly in his brother.
"Maybe we'll make a big go of it. Our band, yours, and the Hammer. It should bring a big crowd in London. Let me talk to our agent and see what we can do." Of course, being the least known Billy's band would be on first, then Hunter's and finally Ziggy's because he was the most well known and the organizer. "You'd get a good pay off for a night or two of that."
"Fuck them. I say they can stick their norms up their ass."
Billy was often a lot like Gilly with the trashmouth just with a bit more physicality behind his words being the older brother. He wouldn't think twice about hurling insults at homophobic thugs or idiot interviewers then slugging a few along the way.
"The Hammers, The Hell's Angels and yours all at once? It'll be a riot, mate."
He liked the idea of all bands mixing together at once. Loads of rowdy rock stars rocking the house down and getting the crowd to go wild. Billy also wanted to meet Hunter's band and get to know the blokes there too.
"I'm sure some of them wish they could fuck me. The hypocrites."
Ziggy could sense the feisty physicality coming off the man on the other end of the phone. It wasn't a bad thing. He'd grown fond of the sass over time.
We'll do it. London, two weeks. Hunter's already around here. I'll get him on board." This was going to be a riot and they would have to do something fun. He would figure something out between now and then.
"I bet they wish they could fuck you. Too bad they're too far up their own asses to not know if you're a boy or girl. Thick wankers."
Billy couldn't be fucked to deal with losers like that. Him and his brother would give the media shit if they picked on Ziggy and the rest of the band. His own band, The Hell's Angels, were hard-core rockers who gave no fucks. They lived for music, hard booze, drugs and sex.
"Sounds good. Hunter's band is getting pretty famous around these parts. I've seen a few of his performances on the television. He's good. That guitarist, Rik, he can really lay down some fucking awesome riffs with that 18 stringed monster he's got."
"It's none of their business. They aren't hot enough for it to be." Ziggy started laughing when he thought about them, all of them who wanted his attention and couldn't have it.
"I think they are. I've heard them on the radio a few times." He's nodding to himself as they talk. "Most people use an 18 string for some fun now and then but it looks like Rik's every day guitar. It's certainly eye catching to go there."
"Damn right it's none of their business. If any of those wankers give you or the band any trouble I'll spout filthy insults until they fuck off."
Billy could give it his all just like his little trash mouth brother. They could bitch and snark until the cows came home. He just liked telling everyone to fuck off now and then. If that failed then the fists come out.
"Yeah, I've heard them on the radio too. Hunter has a good voice and Rik's riffs are on point. Playing an 18 string all the time must take some doing."
"We're going to give them some hell soon." And they deserved it and everyone would see it.
There would be so much hell and he wanted it. Fuck them all.
"I've met Hunter. He's a fucking riot. I imagine the rest of them must be the same." Ziggy made a sound of agreement. "I've watched him solo on it. He's almost as good as Mick on that thing."
"Oh yeah? Well when you do let me know and I'll come and bring some hell of my own."
Billy would no doubt be hearing about this from Gilly over the phone when this interview would happen. If it would be a right shit show by the sounds of it. With Ziggy concerned it would be.
"Hunter is a fucking riot from what I've heard Gilly tell me about him. My brother is besotted with the man. Gets his fill of cock every night by the sounds of it."
Trashfire talk was normal for Billy. As for Rik? Oh, he was good.
"His solos are awesome to watch. I've seen and heard your Mick too. His aggressive style is unique and the way he uses the pedal board is too."
"You want in on this interview? It's going to start a fucking riot." Ziggy says with clear mischief. "You can come too. I think Hunter's coming."
Ziggy starts laughing. "I know. I offered them a space on a leg of our tour if they wanted it so we can get your brother laid more. It cuts down on the bitchy mouth." Ziggy said it with love. He adored Gilly and was not above using his fame to get him what he deserved.
"Mick has a secret on stage." Ziggy laughs a lot and then adds. "Anything else I thought of saying sounds pornographic."
"You fucking bet I want in on this interview. The Hell's Angels won't mind if I bring them down to London. My brother will be there with Hunter so I'm thinking another blond bitch can add to the shit storm party we'll start."
Live on air? Fuck yeah. Billy was a hooligan with a guitar pretty much and loved to start shit. The Hell's Angels were often hellish fire-loving pyromaniacs who often had fire effects on stage too. As for his brother getting laid more? That got him laughing down the phone.
"Ooh a secret, eh? Should I be jealous of this guitarist's secret?"
"They can have three bands for the price of one." Ziggy laughs crazily. This whole interview was just getting wilder all the time. "I'm going to climb into Mick's lap in the middle of it and kiss him right on the air."
Ziggy was going to start literal riots probably. It was worth it. the looks on all the straight-laces' faces.
"Only if you're jealous of me making him think about my mouth on his cock." Ziggy might be a little drunk after all he has been drinking quickly through this whole talk.
"Three bands and one massive shit show. They won't know what hit them."
Billy was one for starting shit and this would be his chance to get to know Ziggy's band as well as Hunter's. It was an exciting prospect indeed. Then, he laughed down the phone at Ziggy's comment about climbing into Mick's lap. Surely, they would shut the interview down and turn off the cameras?
"Are you going to make-out with him live on air? Fucking brilliant. They'll probably turn off the cameras and stop the interview though."
Boring.
"You can keep your mouth on Ronno's cock. I'm sure he likes that bitchy mouth of yours."
Billy was clutching a glass of whiskey and had been drinking steadily all day so was drunk too.
"I want them to feel like a bomb has been dropped on them. They deserve it after all the bullshit."
Ziggy starts laughing to the point he snorts and has to cover his mouth to regain control. "I have a cousin in TV. They won't be able to turn it off." Oh that was the best part.
"I've got a mouth that makes all the boys and girls scream." Was he talking about singing or sex? Who knew and both were true.
"I can bring along The Hell's Angels and I'm sure Viktor, our vocalist, will raise up some hell, literally, for those interviewer wankers."
It would surely turn into a shit show if Hunter, Viktor and everyone else showed up. Three rock bands and so much sass and trashfire material. All they needed was for one person to light the match---that being Ziggy climbing into Mick's lap and kissing him. It was perfect.
"A cousin in television? Perfect, mate. He can control the cameras while you and Mick make out. Hunter and Gilly will probably snog their faces off too. What a shit show."
Billy giggled at Ziggy's comment about his mouth.
"Oh yeah? I bet Ronno is lucky to have a girlfriend like you."
"Sure. Bring them all just don't burn down the damned studio." Ziggy wanted to raise hell but didn't want a huge repair bill to pay.
"He controls the networks, not just the camera." Ziggy starts laughing. "We should all just start making out, even if it's just for show. A whole gang of men kissing would start fires."
"I'll make sure to keep Viktor and the others under control. Don't worry about that."
Billy would kick Viktor's ass if he set fire to anything in the hotel or smashed the place up. The punk rebel of a band leader could often go too far when out of his head on coke or booze.
"He does? That's amazing. Yeah, I can kiss Rik if you and Ronno start kissing. Hunter will full on moon the fucking cameras. We might all get arrested but fuck it since it'll be worth it to piss those wankers off."
He's down for all of this. What would Rik think? Obviously, he'll talk to him first before dropping the interview trashfire bomb on him.
"I'll send my dad after him if he gets into shit." Ziggy knew his dad would put anyone in their place if needed.
"I only met him recently." Ziggy starts chuckling. "I didn't know you were into the boys like your brother."
Not that Ziggy cared one way or another. It seemed a lot of people were coming out of their shells. Safety in numbers perhaps making them all more comfortable. Whatever, it was that caused it Ziggy loved it.
"Good thing you've got a supportive dad in this instance. Mine just says I hang around with delinquents because he thinks me and Gilly are ones."
Not as bad as Rik's parents but Billy's parents weren't quite sure about their son hanging around in a rock band. Then there was Ziggy. He often brought up many people's eyebrows. Let them. Billy didn't care what people thought of him or his brother or anyone else he made friends with. This was his fucking life.
"I like boys, yeah. I've slept with a few girls but I've never really been into them much."
He shrugged. There was no shame in telling Ziggy who he liked since he knew the singer was open as could be. It felt nice just feeling happy for who he was. If he liked boys then it was his business.
"My dad is open enough. He's a little overbearing sometimes since I was shot but I understand."
Ziggy thought his father was slowly becoming a mother hen but it wasn't the worst. Billy was right, an unsupportive family would be far worse.
"I noticed a lot of men doing that. It's for shit that it happens. I'm hoping to change it." He says seriously. It was one of his goals.
"Three weeks. Since we all want in, I rescheduled it to be just before the London show when we'll all be on stage together. Figure we can all go on in stage gear too. Really fuck them up with the mix of glam and punk all sitting together." The more barriers he could break at once, the better, as far as Ziggy is concerned.
"Aren't all dads overbearing? Mine just gave up yelling at me in the end when I wanted to chose guitar over my studies. Both my parents are supportive of me and Gilly."
There were fights in the beginning though and it didn't help that Gilly was offering up bitchy comments every five seconds. Billy just got to live with it until he moved out to join Viktor's band. Ziggy's father seemed a decent bloke though.
"Yeah. It's sad but a reality for us all. If you're hoping to change it then I'm on board too. Give those bastards something to think about."
In three weeks, live on air, shit would be stirred up a riot would happen with all three bands live on television tearing down social norms. Mick kissing Ziggy in front of the interviewer would be a riot. Billy planned to kiss Rik too.
"My dad's not like that really. He's just worried because so many people have attacked me. I can't blame him." Ziggy starts laughing and then adds. "For an old man I've seen him deck a lot of people and give interviewers some hell."
Ziggy loved his dad even if he did drive him crazy sometimes. Though he turns more mischievous as he goes on. "Bring the whole band. We'll give these bastards something they'll never forget."
"I wouldn't blame him either because the people that attack you are fucking cowards. They can eat their own shit as far as I'm concerned. You've got friends here, Ziggy."
The Hell's Angels and The Hammers would be friends with the Spiders and Ziggy. Safety in numbers as they say. It would be a trashfire on television and Billy was all for this. Ziggy's father sounded a decent, strong bloke too.
"Oh, I will. I'll see you soon, Ziggy. Keep safe."
