Profile: Scooby (Lead Guitar)

Name: Kevin Doogan

DOB: 06-11-78

Favourite Bands: I'm not really into as heavy as this band... I like all the old, cheesy 80s bands... WHITESNAKE, THIN LIZZY...

Musical influences: Kerry King and Garry Moore. I try to mix those two totally different styles...

Why CORRUPTED??? I used to be a drummer but I was looking for a band to play guitar in. Just by fluke I said to myself: "I'm gonna go out today and look and see if anyone wants a guitarist." I went in and I seen this ad with a little paragraph on it... "NO NU-METAL HEADS & IF YOU'RE CRAP WE'RE GONNA BATTER YEH". So I said I'd give it a shot. They were well impressed... I picked out one song just by looking at it.

How did you get on the first time you gigged with these guys? The first gig was great -- I fucked up! (Laughs) The first song we started playing, they had a four-count in. I started playing the wrong song! Apart from that... grand...

Where would you most like to play? Nowhere over here! I went to an ACDC concert last December over in Manchester... and they had this huge arena... It was an ice-hockey arena or something... Maybe not just there, but something along those styles. Or an open-air gig.

What will you be doing with it when the first million is made? Probably drinking and smoking and buying loads of guitars and motorbikes.

What's the first thing you do when you get up in the morning? Depends... If it's mid-week, I go to work.... eventually! If it's weekend, I've a hangover, so nothing much. Stick on the stereo and relax and try and get my head together.

Favourite movie? Wayne's World, one and two...

Most precious tee-shirt? It's a really, really old METALLICA Unforgiven tee-shirt. It's that size now [motions with hands] it's shrunken to bits... I can't wear it, but I wouldn't throw it out. It's deadly.

Worst on stage moment to date? It was in another band (I've not had one yet with this one). We were up in Omagh playing a gig and I was stocious... We were drinking from one o'clock that day and didn't go on until one o'clock in the morning. Basically the drumkit started falling apart and I ended up getting into a fight with the singer on stage. I was throwing me drumsticks at him...

Advice for any up and coming bands? Don't do drugs...
