Asking Alexandria Talk Venue Ban, Charlie Sheen Tour and Drunken Show Ender

Over a late afternoon lunch on Hollywood's Sunset Strip, Asking Alexandria guitarist Ben Bruce expresses his admiration for actor Charlie Sheen. "I just want to meet him. I just want to party with him. I wish he'd call me and say 'hey, come to my house tonight, and let's go crazy.'"

The band, who was recently offered an opening slot on Sheen's current tour, has been showing up on more than just the actor's radar. The group's new album Reckless and Relentless debuted at #9 on the Billboard 200, selling over 30,000 units in its first week. But despite the impressive numbers, and a network TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Bruce assures that it comes with a downside. "We've been through so much sh*t," he says. "So much sh*t."

In March, Asking Alexandria was banned from a Nashville music venue for being "too controversial," and earlier this month, vocalist Danny Worsnop was escorted offstage at a show in Seattle for being overly intoxicated. Check out the full interview here
