In a recent interview with Sleaze Roxx, drummer John Covington of BIG COCK (also featuring former LYNCH MOB/CRY OF LOVE singer Robert Mason and former KING KOBRA/KEEL/LIZZY BORDEN guitarist David Michael Phillips) talks about work on the band's third album and VINNIE VINCENT taking the INVASION name from Greg Leon.

The following is an excerpt:

Q: What's up with Big Cock these days?

A: "The "Hardest Band in the Land!" is in pre-production of our 3rd release. Our first two 2 CD's (Year of the Cock and Big Cock) both came together in such a magical fashion we've already decided we don't stray too far from our original mission statement. We've found our groove and have vowed to continue to pummel it relentlessly, with our own special kind of finesse. One of the big differences on the next one is the cover art for the CD has already been finished before we've recorded one note, and the visual is very inspirational - if you catch my drift. This time our goal is to tap a vein even sonically BIGGER than the last two releases. We're digging deeper into what drives Big Cock and

it's always a good time for everyone involved. The rest of the details at this time are top secret. Do you feel taunted now?"

Q: Can you give us a hint of what the new music is sounding like?

A: "All I can tell you is the next one will be packed with more earth shaking, explosive, eruptions of sonic psychotronic aural debauchery cleverly delivered in the form of words set to music. Robert, Dave, Colby and I are on a mission to spread the love of Big Cock with all we Meat.... and our third release will be the latest chapter in our life long devotion to our insatiable saga of Booze, Babes and Fast Cars.... what else would you expect from Big Cock, a tender sensitive ballad?"

Q: Is it true that Greg Leon sold the Invasion name to Vinnie Vincent?

A: "This I do know. That was one of the very last straws before I moved on. Vinnie Vincent's manager had been talking to Greg before Jeroenimo got deported back to Holland about working with the band. Once we lost our bass player and were looking for a new one and weren't having much luck at the time finding the right guy. Vincent's manager just 'took' the name and figured there wasn't much Greg could do about it at the time - and in reality there wasn't.

It was the Greg Leon Invasion, and the Vinnie Vincent Invasion is actually a completely different name, but we all know where the inspiration came from. Greg was extremely pissed when this came about and it really did knock the wind out of all the energy we had going at the time."
