Jeff Scott Soto

Holiday Special

Back to the Rock 'n' Rollers of this Holiday Special, this time Metal Temple's Chiara got a hold of Mr. Jeff Scott Soto and placed our quite ordinary questions right in front of him. Let's see what Soul Sirkus' frontman had to say about cooking, nudity, sports and Queen...

• December 22, 2005

Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone before answering these questions?

Neal Schon.

Are you a good cook? If you had us over for lunch, what would you cook for us?

Pretty decent at the things I can cook. I make a great turkey dinner with garlic mashed potatoes & sweet corn. I also make something called a 7 Layer Dip, which is beans/salsa/diced tomatoes/coriander/guacamole/sour cream & shredded cheese. You dip your tortilla chips into it & it's a mouth explosion of fun. But my forte are the alcoholic beverages from sangria to caipiroskas (Brazilian drink).

If you weren't a musician, what do you think you'd be?

A dead nobody!

Do you like extreme sports? If so, is there an extreme sport you like doing in your spare time and what is that?

No way, I value life too much as well, broken limbs onstage are no fun when you're as active as I am!

Do you like ordinary sports? If so, what's your favourite team (if any)?

I play basketball nearly everyday of the week that I'm not on tour. Favourite team, L.A. Lakers of course!

Your top-3 favourite movies of all time are?

The Godfather
Star Wars
Three Amigos

What do you have in your pockets right now?

Nothing, wearing pyjamas.

Have you ever been to a beach full of nudists? What was it like and were you one of them?

Yep, south of France, did not participate but the eyes were very busy focusing on all the candy! (Female ONLY)

Band/Artist you'd love to be trapped with inside an elevator.

(male) Prince to get some tips & advice - (female) Pussycat Dolls, for obvious reasons!

If aliens ever abducted you, what song would you play for them?

Bohemian Rhapsody

What's under your bed?

Old photos from the career, clippings, interviews, etc...

Your girlfriend/boyfriend turns out to be gay. Your reaction would be?

Can I videotape?

A Metal/Rock album that everybody loves but you hate.

Creed

Do you have any phobia? And what is that?

Losing my voice forever.

The most ridiculous thing you have ever done because you were drunk.

Just about everything I do when I'm drunk.

Have you ever done anything that made you feel terribly guilty afterwards?

Stealing money from my mother when I was in high school.

When was the last time you got pissed off at a friend of yours and why was that?

My old drummer left my band 6 weeks before the tour was starting, I had to break in a new guy who had to not only learn 2 hours of music he'd never heard, but also learn the routine of how the show was put together.

Have you ever been in jail? What for?

No.

If they would offer you a role in an all-star celebrity reality show, would you accept? Who would the top 3 of celebrities be that you would like to have along with you? And who would be the top 3 celebrities that you would ABSOLUTELY NOT want in it?

Yes. I'd want Dennis Rodman, Courtney Love and Anna Nicole Smith. Imagine the fun that would be! I wouldn't want Ben Affleck, Mariah Carey and George Bush!

Your wish for 2006...

To become a household name finally...or replace Paul Rodgers in Queen!
