Evile Bungee Jumping For A Cause

09/23/2010
.
Evile guitarist Ol Drake and Metal Hammer editor Alexander Milas will be bungee jumping from Pottersfield Park, next to Tower Bridge, at 10:30am this Saturday whilst dressed as cowboys. Fans are encouraged to head down and watch the brave metalheads throwing themselves off the 160ft crane.

Ol Drake will be jumping in memory of late Evile bassist Mike Alexander and in aid of the British Lung Foundation, while Alexander Milas will be jumping in aid of the Ronnie James Dio 'Stand Up and Shout' Cancer Fund.

With just days left until the jump, Ol Drake offers his final thoughts: "I think I am more nervous of having to walk through London to get to the jump while dressed as a cowboy. If anyone gives me any abuse, I will spray them with the two water pistols I have. I will no doubt be shouting 'Slayer' on the way down in honour of Mike. Looking forward to it! Hope to see some people at the bottom shouting things at us. In the name of Mike and Dio, we shall jump off a big crane (never thought I'd be saying that, in so many ways).

"Right after I'm back down to earth safely I'm gonna have a pint of cider and then get back up to Huddersfield to leave on our 3-month US tour. Back down to earth, and back on the road."

Metal Hammer editor Alexander Milas adds: "I watch the clock nervously as the moment of truth approaches and my mind is awash with self-doubt. Will the cord be strong enough? And more importantly: will I look sexy in a cape?

"Deep, resounding thanks to all who've generously contributed to this victory of foolhardiness over common sense - it's for a very good cause. In the name of Mike Alexander, Ronnie James Dio and heavy metal, we'll be making gravity our bitch. Onward!"
