20 QUESTIONS WITH…
Overkill Singer Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth
This week’s 20 Questions are with Blitz from Overkill. It seems that the heavier the band we interview, the more pissed off and hostile they come off. This is no exception. Libby from Metal Masters hooked us up with Bobby, so if you don’t enjoy these 20 Questions, blame her! Anyways, enjoy!
