What is your Screen Name?
Philz_Rocksta_Vixen
I've said it before and I'll say it again. People are reading it differently
than I intended. ha ha
And your real name, please?
Oh boy, my real name.. Sissy-Jo Palmantier *no middle name* Thats what's
written on the birth certificate. Although I think almost everyone's
forgotten. Now I mostly hear "Philly Rocksta" It just started as a joke. You
know how a lot of people change their name when they get into music? Well,
someone already changed it for me. No one calls me by the name I was born
with anymore but thats ok. Even "Hey You" works just fine for me.
Where are you from?
A nice little nook called Williams Lake BC. I pretty much grew up on the
road though. Pops use to travel the rodeo circuit so it was a different
town/state/province every week. Once he retired we settled down where he was
born in Riske Creek BC.

Please tell us a little about yourself (Job, hobbies, etc.):
I spend a great amount of time on the ranch in Riske Creek. We raise horses
as rodeo stock (saddle bronc and bareback aka bucking broncos for the
newbies ha ha) So yeah, my job is one of my passions. Taking daily drives
around the countryside checking on the ponies, hauling them around British
Columbia and Alberta for BCRA, PRCA and a few other local rodeos. Mom
started up her own company a few years back too. She's one of the few RTFs
in the area so there's always quite the workload. Whenever she's running
behind I drop what Im doing and help her out. I took a couple shots at
college but it never worked out. Thats probably because the only things that
can keep my attention for more than 10 seconds is music and rodeo. This is
gonna be my last rodeo season due to moving to the BIG city. I'm much to
stubborn to give up on music.
How/when and why did you get into L.A. Guns?
Oh geez years ago, I was just a wee little brat. My cousin had this huge box
full of cassettes. I got to digging around in it one day and came across LA
GUNS. I though Hmmm... the name sounds pretty cool. I asked if I could have
it and ever since that first listen I've been hooked. It was "Hollywood
Vampires" Im pretty sure it was 96. Wow, 11 years!
What is your favourite song/album?
"Tales From The Strip" is not only my favorite LA GUNS album but my favorite
album of all time. Very well put together and also based on a time and place
that I can only dream of (as of now but we'll see if we can change all
that). As for my favorite song, I had to think about it long and hard. I've
narrowed it down to two, "Gypsy Soul" and "It Don't Mean Nothing" I find
everything on the album great both lyrically and musically but these two
just seem to stick out from the rest.
Now share your favourite L.A. Guns story/memory, please:
Unfortunately I dont have any stories involving the actual band (as of yet)
but I look forward to many memories to come. Once I'm happily moved to Los
Angeles, I vow to NEVER miss a show.
Wait a sec... There was one incident where I snuck Phil into a private
message forum to surprise a few people (hehe) He left a post and everyone
thought it was just me fooling around. It was hilarious but I'm glad it got
cleared up.
What other bands do you like?
Motley Crue, Poison, Brides of Destruction, Faster Pussycat (I'm really
excited about the new lineup), Ozzy, Girl, White Lion, Roxx Gang, Warrant
with Jani Lane, Skid Row, Def Leppard, Zeppelin, New York Dolls, Nazareth,
Rod Stewart, Archies, Sweet.... There's also a lot of up and coming bands. I
like the sound and they definately have the attitude and the drive. A few of
these bands would include Scarlet Rose, Vains of Jenna, Starlet Suicide,
Vanity Blvd... I'm pretty anxious to see what London LeGrand does with his
new band Rockstars on Mars. And I'm really curious about where Scot Coogan is
going now, I really liked his singing.
Any famous last words?
See ya in the big time ;)
Also, thank you.
Phil for everything you've ever done, you've really been an inspiration.
Steve for being the kick ass drummer in the greatest band in the world.
Stacey, Canucks rule! haha... Adam for being a part of LA Guns in their
greatest years yet, best of luck to you. Scotty! haha thanks for not running
away after we put together quite a big list for you :D And last but
certainly not least everyone at the forum. I am very grateful for the
friends I've made. Thanks for making my time here very enjoyable thus far.
It really is like a family.
