 When Uber Rock caught up with ex Girl guitarist Gerry Laffy recently for a chat we just had to ask him about his very own gig from hell experience, thinking we'd probably get some juicy insider details around the Kiss support slot story from when the guys walked off the tour. Nah, that would have been too predictable, so what he did get however was a story about how to deal with chronic back pain whilst touring with Duran Duran bass god John Taylor.

 Wrathchild bassist Marc Angel has spent most of his adult life trying to reach the rock star promised land, but has never quite made it. So when we asked him for his very own Gig From Hell story did he tell us bullshit tales about missed limos, famous groupies and stints in rehab? Nah, this down to earth rock 'n' roller simply gave us a shocking vision of what happens when you got a little too close to Blackie Lawless, and the physical risks you run trying to be Gene Simmons when playing a club 'Oop North.

 Those glorious stories that confirm that Hell is indeed gig shaped disappeared for a while - you'd have been excused for thinking that Hell itself had frozen over.....but no, over the past few weeks Uber Rock has slowly readdressed the Hellish balance by publishing yet more tales of gigs-gone-bad. This time Matty Dorkins of the hotly-tipped Meansteed curses his luck.....

 When Dave Prince told us that he'd got Teenage Casket Company frontman Rob Wylde to write a Gig From Hell article for us we never imagined that it would suddenly turn into the final (?) collaboration between him and former TCC member Jamie Delerict who, when hearing that his actions would feature heavily, felt like he had to add his side of the story.........and what a story!
