Metal Sludge The Power and the Glory
20 QUESTIONS WITH…
Danger Kitty’s (Metal Shop) Singer Michael Diamond
In honor of our Metal Sludge Extravaganza, we are doing 20 Questions this week with Danger Kitty lead singer Michael Diamond! They’ll be headling our party TOMORROW night, Wednesday the 27th, at Paladino’s in Tarzana, CA. This is a very special show because Danger Kitty doesn’t play out that often….ok, sure, they play out every Monday night at the Viper Room under the name Metal Shop, but that’s besides the point. Still, this is a huge concert event and you’re a jackass if you can’t make it.
So enjoy our 20 Questions with Michael Diamond as well as some old photos from Danger Kitty’s past.

it’s fucked up dude, I hate bands that dont wear tight pants and have moves that rock on stage.
3. You guys were huge on the strip during 1983. Did you have any run-ins with Motley Crue or Ratt?
Yea they tried to kick us of the strip because we had a better stage show and lighting and flyers.

None of them should. We need all the bands to come together and unite as team and bring back Metal, But they should go on diets and grow thier hair first before the mission can be completed, oh yea and write some hits so Meatlshop has some new songs to play
