JERKING OFF FOR JESUS!
Joop: The biggest scum band, besides ourselves, was without a doubt Group 1850. There were some really sleazy stories going around about them.
Frank: At first we didn’t want to believe the rumours, but I filled in for their bass player for a while and found out not only that they were true, but much worse.
