Sonic Babe Of The Month - September 2005

& 2005 Sonic Babe Of The Year!

Name: Raine
From: Toronto, Canada

What made you get into Rock N' Roll?

I was born to rock baby... haha. My parents had it blasting from the turntable my whole youth. Of course I went much heavier than The Beatles and Led Zeppelin. My first memory is of Alice Cooper, Ozzy and AC/DC. I then turned to the Ramones, Deadboys, Hanoi Rocks, New York Dolls, Sex Pistols, The Cramps, Kiss, Van Halen then Motley Crue... you get the idea.

What was your first rock concert and what was the experience like for you?

I think it was an Ozzy concert... it kicked ass. My most memorable was the Motley Crue and Accept tour when I was about 14 or 15. There was nothing better in the world than being in the front row under Nikki Sixx. To this day being right in front of Nikkik Sixx is quite exhilerating!!!

What is your five all time favorite albums (CDs)?

Hmmmm too many to list.

Who are your five favorite bands?

Ramones
Deadboys/ Lords Of The New Church (I know this is 2... shut up Stiv rules!)
Hanoi Rocks
Aerosmith
David Bowie

What is your all time favorite song and why?

Changes daily depending on my mood. Today it has been "You See Me Crying" by Aerosmith off Toys in the Attic.

Do you play an instrument? If so, what & how long? Also are you in a band, who is it?

I have been teaching myself bass guitar, yes my band is called Drugstore Cowgirl, we are recording soon, maybe you'll hear us one day. I will also be doing another project with my best girls Bobbyjo, and Kitty Kowalski from the Kowalskis called "XO". We will be doing a rockabilly like 50's & 60's band where we are covering songs by the Supremems, Shangrila's and Ronnette's, you get the drift????

If you can go back in time, who would you like to have seen perform live?

Stiv! Stiv! Stiv! and Johnny Thunders

If you could put the ultimate rock show together with three bands, who would it be?

Stiv Bators, Ramones & Hanoi Rocks

Do you think there's any bands out today can make rock n' roll big in the mainstream again?

Yes, I have some friends in bands either newly signed or not yet signed that are great rock musicians, but I feel that kids these days do not appreciate these muscians for all they are worth and are being brainwashed to listen to fabricated music such as phonies like Britney Spears, and Ashley Simpson... this shit isn't real. Kids need to be educated in the school of Aerosmith, Cheap Trick and the Rolling Stones and then I think rock n' roll could be big again.

What do you think rock n' roll is missing today?

It's missing the rock and the roll and good musicans. They are out there but they are not recognized and it's really not fair.

What is your definition rock n' roll?

A song that brings a smile to your face and takes over your soul.

Any last words or thoughts about rock n roll?

It's only rockn'roll but i like it.

love me xoxoxooxoxo
