Ralph is in the Van Halen cover band Atomic Punks, which is the best and most well known Dave era VH tribute band.  Ralph sent back our questions and said, 

"Hey dude cool questions except for calling my wife a piece of ass, That was not cool."

We asked him if he ever got caught cheating on his piece of ass wife (Question #8). Hey that’s a compliment coming from us! But Ralph said he did get caught cheating though! He got busted cheating on his wife, yet if we call her a piece of ass, that isn’t cool. And cheating is? We can never win! Anyways, here’s Ralph’s interview in all it’s splendor.
